The subject disclosure relates to managing z-dimensional ordering of elements within a computing system display through the use of z-order bands. As described herein, z-order bands are utilized to arrange windows and other graphics corresponding to respective application types. A policy engine controls which windows and/or other graphical elements can enter and exit each band. Graphical elements within a given band can additionally be subject to per-band properties corresponding to the band and/or user preferences. As additionally described herein, z-order bands and/or other suitable mechanisms are utilized to facilitate registration watermarking for a computing environment by rendering a registration watermark display upon determining that one or more licensed elements of a computing system have not been registered. The registration watermark display is assigned a z-order band that enables its display over all other graphical elements associated with the computing system and prevents other graphical elements from interfering with its display.

An illustrated view of an exemplary pipe gate for securely and safely keeping a gate of a fence in an open position. The pipe gate is useful for safely and easily keeping the gate of the fence in the open position. Instead of using bricks, sticks, stumps or tying the gate back, each of these are commonly used currently, the gate of the fence can be opened to any size opening and with the placement of the pipe gate, the gate remains open without creating a safety hazard for those in the general area. The pipe gate has a first portion that is configured to receive a rod and then securely coupling the rod at a desired length by inserting and securely coupling a bolt thru a hole in the first portion. The first portion has a hook end to hook onto a rail of a gate and may have a coupling device such as a clamp to secure the pipe gate to the gate. The end of the rod is preferably pointed and is securely coupled to the ground.

Redirecting an editing environment to open a primary file instead of an associated supporting file. Each supporting file can be provided with a marker identifying it as a supporting file and specifying the location of the primary file associated with that supporting file. This can be done in response to the initiation of a file save event for saving the supporting file. For opening a file in the editing environment, the file open process relies on the presence of a marker in the file to determine if the file is a supporting file. If so, the editing environment is redirected to open the primary file with which the supporting file is associated. For example, for an HTML document containing a primary file and a supporting file, the editing environment is directed to open the primary file rather than the supporting file to support the presentation of the entire content of the HTML document for editing by the user.

Methods and systems provide for sharing of a network resource that requires an authentication ID for access with a user not currently having an authentication ID. A placeholder is generated in an access list providing authorization for the network resource and the placeholder is associated with a known identifier of the user. Upon the user obtaining an authentication ID and attempting to access the network resource, the authentication ID for the user is stored in the placeholder to establish authorization for the user to the network resource. Several checks may be made prior to storing the authentication ID within the placeholder, including determining whether the user has verified obtaining the authentication ID with the issuer, determining whether the authentication ID of the user attempting access matches the authentication ID the issuer has provided for the user, and determining whether the known identifier stored in the placeholder matches a sign-in provided by the user.

Described is the adding of padding to a content file (e.g., image and/or audiovisual file) for anticipated subsequent use such that the content file need not be re-encoded to add metadata and other data to it. For example, padding may be added to an image file directly after an image file directory, whereby the directory can grow as needed into the padded space. Metadata can likewise be added to the padding, e.g., from the opposite direction that the directory extends into the padding. The padding may be added on the first re-encoding of the file, reducing or eliminating the need for subsequent re-encoding. The padding also may be used to track dead space in the file, with adjacent regions of dead space coalesced into a single region of dead space.

An improved system and method for an extensible codec architecture for digital images is provided. Executable software code may be operably coupled to a codec manager for requesting imaging operations to be performed on a digital image. The codec manager may receive the request to perform an imaging operation on the digital image and may select an imaging component, such as a codec, from one or more imaging components registered in the computer system for performing an imaging operation on the digital image. An arbitration manager may include functionality for requesting enumeration of the operations an imaging component may perform on a particular digital image. One or more pixel format converters may then convert the pixel format in the digital image to a pixel format supported by an imaging component installed on the system.

An improved system and method for an extensible metadata architecture for digital images is provided. Executable software code may be operably coupled to a metadata query reader and a metadata query writer for requesting operations for manipulating metadata in an image file. The metadata query reader may be operably coupled to a decoder having a block reader for identifying metadata blocks in an image file and associating a metadata reader with each metadata block. Each metadata reader may then enumerate the metadata in the metadata block associated with that metadata reader. The metadata query writer may be operably coupled to an encoder having a block writer for associating a metadata writer with each metadata block to be written to an image file. Each metadata writer may then write metadata in the metadata block associated with that metadata writer.

A modular flooring system for stables is made up of a plurality of modules that each include a frame element (1) and an insertion element (30). Each frame element (1) is equipped with supporting profiles (6,7) intended for the support of the insertion element (30), which is placed in the frame element when in use. The insertion elements can be easily replaced in accordance with the type of animals expected to be walking thereon.

Methods and computer-readable media for displaying two-dimensional objects on a display device are disclosed. Rendering requests are received from an application to render two-dimensionally modeled graphics to a display device. Primitive geometries of drawing calls of the rendering requests are tessellated into sequences of triangles. The vertices of the triangles are mapped to a vertex buffer along with an index to identify associated constant data. Batching operations store and communicate calls and mapped data to a graphics processing unit by way of a three-dimensional rendering application program interface. Constant data associated with the mapped data are indexed and appended together in a constant buffer, thereby allowing drawing calls to be coalesced. A staging buffer and a staging texture are provided for batching text anti-aliasing operations. Shader fragments are precompiled and organized by way of a predetermined lookup table.

Methods and systems are provided for automating a request for access to computer accessible resources. If access to a computer accessible resource is denied, an automated request for access may be forwarded to a provider of the resource without the need for the requestor to know the identity and/or address of the provider. If the provider grants access to the requestor, access may be automatically granted, or access may be granted along with a notification to the requestor of the granted access.
