20110179401 | ENGINE FOR RENDERING WIDGETS USING PLATFORM-SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTES - A widget engine renders widgets using operating system platform-specific attributes. A widget application written at least partly in platform non-specific code is rendered by the widget engine through a series of system calls and callbacks. Upon interpreting particular code, the widget engine issues a system call to a module for performing a particular type of action. The module, based on the operating system platform, calls a platform-specific library that specifies how to carry out the action according to the operating system platform. Thereafter, using the returned platform-specific data, the widget engine renders the widget. | 07-21-2011 |

20150278167 | AUTOMATIC MEASURE OF VISUAL SIMILARITY BETWEEN FONTS - The visual similarity between fonts is determined using visual descriptors of character images in the fonts. A model used to generate the visual descriptors may include a set of letterforms, keypoint locations on each letterform, and detail shapes at zero, one, or more detail areas on the letterform. In some instances, the model may also set forth one or more geometric measurements. Based on the model, a visual descriptor may be generated for a character image from a font by identifying a letterform of the character image, identifying keypoint locations on the character image, and identifying a detail shape at any detail areas on the character image. Additionally, the visual descriptor may include any geometric measurement defined by the model. The visual similarity between two fonts may be determined as a function of the differences between pairs of visual descriptors for the fonts that correspond with the same letterform. | 10-01-2015 |

Next, the system can store a packet in the memory buffer, and post a completion descriptor in a completion-descriptor location to indicate that the packet is ready to be processed. If the completion-descriptor indicates that the memory buffer is ready to be reclaimed, the system can reclaim the memory buffer, and update the MBUS to indicate that the memory buffer has been reclaimed. | 12-30-2010 |

Note that different virtual routers can provide different types of service and/or different routes. For example, a type of service associated with a first virtual router may include changing packet headers when crossing service domains in a global network, and a type of service associated with a second virtual router may avoid changing packet headers when providing connectivity in the network. Furthermore, the I/O switch fabric includes output physical ports that convey packets associated with at least a second network flow.

Moreover, classifiers in the I/O switch fabric separate packets for network flows associated with different types of service. Then, the I/O switch fabric conveys the packets to different virtual switch ports without interference between the separated packets associated with different network flows. Furthermore, second physical ports in the I/O switch fabric output the packets, where a given second physical port outputs packets for at least some of the network flows associated with different types of service. In this way, the given second physical port can output packets having: the same source and destination; different sources and the same destination; or the same source and different destinations. | 09-18-2014 |
