| 20080215966 | ADAPTIVE SERVER-BASED LAYOUT OF WEB DOCUMENTS - A server anticipates and pre-computes different layouts of online documents and stores them in cache. The layouts are specifically optimized for viewing across a range of display sector sizes. For each document, the layouts are stored in a directory that includes a common dictionary file and a separate layout file for each display sector size. Furthermore, a client requests a document from the server which in response sends the client a handler module which runs in the background on the client, detects the current size of the display sector being used by the client to display pages of the requested document and sends a request to the server for the document's dictionary file and specific layout file corresponding to the current display sector size. In response, the server retrieves these files from cache and sends them to the client. The handler then creates the document from these files. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080320383 | Presentation of numerous and arbitrarily sized figures within a document - Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for displaying content with figures. All figures on a page of content are scaled so that each of the figures fits within a single column.

Scaled figures can be rendered in an enlarged view. Upon receiving input to select a particular one of the figures, an event handler is invoked that corresponds to the selected figure. The selected figure is displayed in an enlarged version in an enlarged viewing mode. | 12-25-2008 |
