Abstract: Systems and methods for hardware accelerated presentation of web pages on mobile computing devices are presented. A plurality of web pages may be received by a computing device capable of processing and displaying web pages using layout engines, hardware accelerated graphics application programming interfaces (APIs). Upon receipt of the web pages, the web pages may be divided into a plurality of rendering layers, based upon stylesheets of the web pages. An algorithm walks through rendering layers so as to select a plurality of layers that may receive compositing layers so as to take advantage of hardware acceleration when rendered. The web pages may be subsequently presented on a display of the mobile computing devices using remaining rendering layers and compositing layers. In this manner, visual representation of web content remains intact even when content which may not have been originally designed for use with layout engine may be displayed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a way to perform transforms and animations using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). CSS may be used to define colors, fonts, layout, and other aspects of document presentation, such as for a webpage. Embodiments of the present invention provide CSS properties for transforms and animations of document content. New CSS properties for transforms allow for rotation, translation, scaling, skewing, perspective, origin, and the like. CSS properties are also provided for animating document content, such as movement, transitions, and the like.

Abstract: The present invention provides a compound of a formula (I): wherein the variables are defined herein; to a process for preparing such a compound; and to the use of such a compound in the treatment of a PDE4 mediated disease state.

Abstract: A directional drilling apparatus for mounting a drill bit on a rotatable drill support comprises a member for transmitting rotation from the drill support to a drill bit, and a body mounted to the member. The body is configurable to offset a portion of the member relative to an axis of the body such that directional drilling may be achieved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a downhole tool for generating a fluid pressure pulse, and to a method of generating a fluid pressure pulse downhole. In one embodiment of the invention, an improved downhole tool (10) and method for transmitting data signals from a downhole environment to surface is disclosed, the downhole tool (10) comprising a fluid actuated flow restrictor (22); a first fluid flow path (23) for flow of actuating fluid to actuate the flow restrictor (22); a second fluid flow path (25) for flow of actuating fluid to actuate the flow restrictor (22); and a control member (12) movable between a first closed position where the first fluid flow path (23) is closed and the second fluid flow path (25) is open, and a discrete second closed position where the first fluid flow path (23) is open and the second fluid flow path (25) is closed, for controlling actuation of the flow restrictor (22) to generate a fluid pressure pulse.

Abstract: The invention provides certain thiazolopyrimidine compounds of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof; processes and intermediates used in their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in therapy.

Abstract: There is disclosed an electrically insulating device in the form of a sleeve (12) for a downhole tool, for electrically insulating a first threaded electrically conductive member in the form of an anchor sub (16) from a second threaded electrically conductive member in the form of an insulated sub (18).
