Abstract:
Source code of a graphical designer application may be generated from a definition of graphical elements that can be employed to develop graphical models using the graphical designer application, a definition of one or more object types that can be represented in graphical models developed using the graphical designer application, and a definition of a mapping between the one or more object types and the graphical elements. One or more of these definitions may be stored within a file formatted in accordance with a markup language such as SGML or XML. The graphical designer application may be customized and extended by modifying one or more of the definitions and regenerating the source code and/or by modifying the source code itself. One or more of the definitions may be generated based on a graphical designer template corresponding to a particular model domain.
Abstract:
A system is described for displaying images of a virtual three-dimensional book having one or more virtual pages. The system comprises a display system capable of executing a display program wherein images of the virtual three-dimensional book are produced on the display system. A slide-out operation for sliding a virtual page out from the virtual three-dimensional book may be provided. The display system may also include a “rocker book” feature, wherein a book shifts between a first view and a second view. Moreover, the display system may display the virtual pages in a plurality of size formats, wherein a selection function may be provided for selecting among the plurality of size formats. Finally, a computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable code embodied therein for producing images of a virtual three-dimensional book is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The bag may include a draw tape that may be used to cinch closed the opening of the bag. The draw tape has at least one stretched elastomeric strip attached to the draw tape in an extended condition. The draw tape may be smaller in size than the bag sidewalls. The draw tape may include an elastic characteristic, such as patterned ribs. In one embodiment, the roll of bag is kept under tension to maintain the elastomeric strips in a stretched condition.
Abstract:
A system and method for managing the recognition and processing of gestures. A system provides a mechanism to detect conflicts between gesture recognizers and resolve the conflicts. A runtime system receives notifications from gesture recognizers in the form of requests for resources or actions. A conflict detector determines whether a conflict with another gesture recognizer exists. If a conflict exists, a conflict resolver determines a resolution. This may include determining a winning gesture recognizer and deactivating the losing gesture recognizers. A design time system statically validates gesture recognizers based on static state machines corresponding to each gesture recognizer.
Abstract:
A bag may include opposing first and second sidewalls of a pliable thermoplastic material that may be joined to each other along first and second side seals and a closed bottom. The sidewalls may remain un-joined along their top edges to form an opening into which trash and other items may be deposited. When the bag is placed in a trash receptacle, the un-joined top edges may be folded over the rim of the receptacle to secure the liner to the receptacle. To assist with securing the bag to the receptacle, the side seals may be directed to converge partially toward each other thereby forming a throat in the interior volume proximate the opening. When the top edges are folded over the receptacle rim, the throat may grip the receptacle. The bag may include a pattern between the converging portions. The bag may include a retention strip between the converging portions.
