Abstract: Techniques for server-based UI rendering are described. In an example, a system receives, from a device, a request associated with rendering a UI that includes multiple UI components. The system receives, from a first source associated with a first UI component, availability information indicating that the first UI component is available for use by other UI components. Based at least in part on the availability information, the system determines that the first UI component is available for use by a second UI component. The system receives, from a second source associated with the second UI component, event information indicating content presentable in the first UI component and an event trigger at the second UI component to present the content. Further, the system sends, to the device, a set of instructions associated with the rendering of the UI. The set of instructions includes the event information.

Abstract: In some implementations, a service provider may enable location-based interaction of a user of a device with at least one of a digital work or another user. For instance, when the service provider determines that the device of the user is at a particular physical location, the service provider may send a communication to notify the user that one or more digital works are available to be accessed at the current physical location of the device. As one example, a digital work may have been virtually left at the location by another user, and the digital work may be available to be accessed by the user currently at the location. As another example, the user may be attending an event and the service provider may offer a digital work related to the event when the user is determined to be at the location of the event.

Abstract: A hybrid terminal device includes a payment card reader and smart phone and is configured to facilitate financial transactions. The hybrid terminal device is configured to secure the payment card reader, such as from bugging devices, etc. The payment card reader may be secured by a portion of a body of the hybrid terminal device configured to block access to a card slot of the payment card reader when in a closed position. The payment card reader may be secured by a security screen enclosing all or part of the card reader, which includes tamper detection systems, such as traces and blind switches. The payment card reader includes a module configured to detect tamping with the card reader, for example by detecting shorting or breaking of traces or triggering of blind switches.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compounds having the formula: In the formula, A2 represents N or C—X1a—R1 and A4 represents N or C—X2b—R2, provided that A2 and A4 are not both N. R1 and R2 independently represent H or a hydrocarbon group, provided that R1 and R2 are not both H. The hydrocarbon groups of R1 and R2 are preferably alkyl or alkenyl groups. More preferably, the hydrocarbon groups are alkyl groups. A1, A3, A6, and A8 independently represent CH or N. A5 and A9 independently represent CR3 or N, wherein R3 independently represents H, methyl, ethyl, or halo. A7 represents CR4 or N, wherein R4 represents H, methyl, ethyl, halo, nitro, hydroxy, amino, amido, or a methyl or ethyl group substituted independently with halo, nitro, hydroxy, amino, or amido. Not more than three of A5, A6, A7, A8, and A9 are N.
