Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for generating and using platform-independent code. A computer-implemented method includes: identifying a user interface library that includes abstractions of user interface elements, each abstraction being platform-independent and associated with platform-specific code including user interface code unique to different platforms; receiving application code at design time that includes an abstraction of a user interface element; and storing the application code for use on a client device. At subsequent execution time, the application code is configured to: determine platform-specific information of the client device; execute platform-specific lines of code appropriate for the client device; and present the user interface element in a user interface of the client device in a way that is appropriate for the client device.

Abstract: In order to provide a curable casting compound for producing plastic molded parts, comprising a binder component based on polymerizable monomers selected from methyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate and a proportion of about 40 to about 85% by weight of one or more inorganic fillers, which compound can be used for producing plastic molded parts having an increased impact strength, it is proposed that the casting compound comprise 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of keratin fibers.
