Abstract:
A method, system, and computer program product provide the ability to structure an interactive and dynamic display of hierarchically organized media content. A library of the media content is acquired. The hierarchical structure of the content is graphically represented utilizing text corresponding to the hierarchical levels with a child level represented below and indented from a parent level. The content is graphically represented using (thumbnail) images that are left justified with respect to a highest hierarchical level, and directly below the text corresponding to the containing level. As scrolling of the media content is performed, the display is dynamically updated by sliding the images until all of the representative images have slid off, at which point, the text for the containing level slides under its own parent, leaving text corresponding to sibling levels of the containing level displayed.
Abstract:
One embodiment of the invention disclosed herein provides techniques for assisting with performing a task within a smart workspace environment. A smart workspace system includes a memory that includes a workspace management application. The smart workspace system further includes a processor that is coupled to the memory and, upon executing the workspace management application, is configured to perform various steps. The processor detects that a first step included in a plurality of steps associated with a task is being performed. The processor displays one or more information panels associated with performing the current step. The processor further communicates with augmented safety glasses, augmented tools, and an augmented toolkit to safely and efficiently through a series of steps to complete the task.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for combining electronic circuitry with mechanical structures using a design tool to build hybrid electro-mechanical three-dimensional circuits for 3D printed devices. In some implementations, the design tool facilitates creation and placement of components and traces, and print preparation for additive manufacturing systems.
Abstract:
The embodiments discussed herein involve flood filling a region with anti-aliasing. In forming a fill region, a candidate pixel can be included in the region based on a color of the pixel and also a color of a neighbor of the point. The inclusion basis may be a color distance between a seed color and the points, and a color distance between the seed color and the point's neighbor. Points in the region may be weighted according to their color distance relative to the seed color, where the color distance can also take into account alpha values. Flood filling may be anti-aliased by assigning alpha values to pixels in gaps between corners of the fill region, where an alpha value may be proportional to a point's contribution to the gap. Dimples in a fill region may be tested for and used to determine which of two flood fill algorithms to use.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, facilitate creation and use of customizable three dimensional models. In one aspect, a method includes receiving input specifying one or more controls that modify geometry of a three dimensional (3D) model of an object; converting the 3D model of the object and the one or more specified controls into a program that runs in a publicly available runtime environment to provide a model interface to change the 3D model in accordance with the one or more specified controls when the program is run in the publicly available runtime environment; and publishing the program to an online marketplace for 3D models available for 3D printing.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, system, computer program product, and computer readable storage medium provide the ability to parallel process hierarchical data. Hierarchical data is obtained. The hierarchical data is organized in a relationship graph having two or more nodes (consisting of parent nodes that are dependent on child nodes). The relationship graph requires bottom-up processing. Cycles are identified in the relationship graph. The relationship graph is leveled by traversing the graph and assigning all graph nodes into levels. The hierarchical data is processed by parallel processing the nodes in a first level of the one or more levels before parallel processing the nodes in a subsequent level.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for three dimensional print adhesion reduction using photoinhibition include, in one aspect, a method including: moving a build plate in a vat of liquid including a photoactive resin; creating a photoinhibition layer within the liquid directly adjacent a window of the vat by directing a first light through the window into the liquid, the first light having a first wavelength selected to produce photoinhibition; and creating a solid structure on the build plate from the photoactive resin within a photoinitiation layer of the liquid by directing a second light through the window into the liquid, where the photoinitiation layer resides between the photoinhibition layer and the build plate, and the second light has a second wavelength different than the first wavelength.
