If a theme or style is applied to a given spreadsheet document, the invoked slicer-style filtering user interface may be automatically themed or styled to match the document. The slicer-style filtering user interface may be operable for advanced filtering, and the user interface may be efficiently changed from one filtering type to another filtering type.	12-18-2014
20140372952	Simplified Data Input in Electronic Documents - Simplified data and/or syntax entry in electronic documents is provided. Custom user interface components and selectable controls may be provided that may float on a displayed document and allow for easier data or syntax input. Electronic inking gestures may be used for entry of data and/or programming syntax in an electronic scratch pad and/or directly on top of a displayed electronic document. Gestures (e.g., screen touches) may be used for selecting document components (e.g., spreadsheet ranges) followed by an interpretation by the associated application of the user's gestures. A variety of disambiguation displays, interactions and/or hints may be provided to help a user clarify ambiguous UI selections.	12-18-2014
20150113378	TECHNIQUES TO PRESENT A DYNAMIC FORMULA BAR IN A SPREADSHEET - Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques and apparatuses to present a dynamic formula bar in a spreadsheet application. Some embodiments are particularly directed to presenting a dynamic formula bar in a spreadsheet application that may improve usability in particular with large display sizes and/or touchscreen interfaces. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a processor circuit and a spreadsheet user interface (UI) component executing on the processor circuit to present a grid comprising cells arranged in rows and columns. The spreadsheet UI component may include a formula bar interface component operative to display a formula bar UI element adjacent to a first cell in response to receiving a control directive selecting the first cell. Other embodiments are described and claimed.	04-23-2015

20150261736	Enhanced Indicators for Identifying Affected Data - Technologies are described herein for displaying one or more visual indicators to assist users in identifying cells of a spreadsheet that are affected by an operation. In embodiments disclosed herein, an application is configured to receive a request to perform an operation on at least one cell of the spreadsheet. The application then identifies cells of the spreadsheet that are affected by the operation. The application then displays a visual indicator to emphasize the affected cells. By providing a timely displayed visual indicator that brings attention to affected cells, the user is able to gain a better perspective of the extent of the operation and how the operation applies to the cells of the spreadsheet.	09-17-2015

20150026033	EFFICIENT SELF-MATCH PREVENTION IN AN ELECTRONIC MATCH ENGINE - Protections against self-matching trade orders are disclosed which maximize liquidity/efficiency by reducing/minimizing unnecessary cancelations and/or resubmissions. Rather than automatically cancel or modify the incoming and/or self-matching counter orders, those resting counter orders, which would result in the occurrence of a self-match with an incoming order, are placed in a hold state or otherwise set aside such that the incoming order may be matched with other non-self-matching orders. The held orders are subsequently returned to the order book at the same, or different, priority to await a subsequent incoming order. Where the incoming order is not fully satisfied, only self-matching counter orders are identified or the return of held orders would result in a crossed order book, a trader may include instructions with the incoming order directing the system to cancel the self-matching resting orders, cancel the incoming order, decrementing the quantity of the larger of the incoming and self-matching resting orders by the quantity of the smaller thereof, or take some other action.	01-22-2015

20100196563	INDUSTRIAL TOMOATO PROCESS AND PRODUCT OBTAINED THEREOF - The invention relates to a tomato pulp composition wherein the particle size is not greater than 2.5 which does not contain seeds or peels from the tomato and has a lycopene concentration which is 5 to 15 folds higher than the lycopene concentration in the tomatoes from which said pulp is obtained. The invention further provides an industrial process for obtaining tomato pulp and tomato concentrate from tomato juice. The invention further provides a method for controlling the viscosity and lycopene concentration of tomato products, tomato concentrate or modified tomato juice, by separating a part of the pulp from the tomato juice from which said tomato products are obtained.	08-05-2010
