Abstract: Implementing people as operating system level objects. A method includes, for a user logged in to an operating system, identifying a person with a relationship to the user. For the person, the method further includes identifying information, including information that can be used to communication with the person. The method further includes storing the information related to the person in a data store that is a global data store with respect to the operating system such that the information related to the person can be accessed at the operating system level. The method further includes using the information related to the person stored in the data store to identify applications or services that can be used to communicate with the person. The method further includes displaying in a user interface for the person an enumeration of applications or services that can be used to communicate with the person.

Abstract: A method may include: placing into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation a foaming agent, wherein the wellbore comprises a produced fluid from the subterranean formation; and foaming the produced fluid. The foaming agent may include at least one of the following structures: wherein R1 and R2 are individually selected from an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a heteroatom substituted alkyl group, or a heteroatom substituted alkenyl group, wherein R1 comprises 5 carbon atoms to 22 carbon atoms in length, and wherein R2 comprises 1 carbon atom to 8 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A calendar control that shows user calendar data in the context of a website. When a computing system accesses a web page from a website, there is a reference to a calendar control associated with that web page. The computing system (e.g., perhaps a browser) uses the reference to the calendar control to access the calendar control. The calendar control is then executed which causes calendar data for the user that navigated to the web site to be gathered from an external data source. Accordingly, the calendar control is shown in conjunction with the web page, but includes user calendar data that the website does not necessarily have direct access to. The calendar control may also have an interface that allows the user and/or the website to edit the user's calendar information.

Abstract: An operating system that includes a time user interface module that presents a time user interface on a display. The time user interface allowing a change in focal date and displays external time-associated data as instructed. An application program interface communicatively couples one or more non-native programs with the time user interface module, to thereby allow the one or more non-native programs to provide time-associated data and corresponding presentation instructions to the time user interface module. This causes the time user interface to display the external time-associated data sourced from a non-native program responsive to instructions from the non-native program.

Abstract: A method for reducing the rate of degradation of stored agrochemicals, particularly pesticides, is provided which essentially involves incorporating a stabilizing compound into the agrochemical in preparation for storage, with the stabilizing compound selected from the group consisting of a diol and a triol. In the preferred embodiment, a pesticide having the active ingredient METASYSTOX.RTM. has an improved shelf life with the addition of about 2 parts by weight of propylene glycol to about 25 parts by weight of METASYSTOX.RTM..
