20090106648 | POSITIONING CONTENT USING A GRID - Various embodiments provide a grid positioning system which allows grid lines to be established based upon either an implicit grid or an explicit grid. Further, at least some embodiments provide a grid positioning system which allows a repeating mechanism to be employed which is ideally suited to adapt to different screen or display resolutions. Further, various embodiments provide a language which defines a grid unit that can be utilized to allow positioning in relation to grid lines. | 04-23-2009 |
20090172519 | WEB PAGE BASED PROGRAM VERSIONING - An identification of one of multiple types of Web browsers that a Web page supports, as well as an identification of one of multiple versions of that one type of Web browser that the Web page supports, is obtained. The Web page is displayed using the identified version of the identified Web browser type. A request for an identification of the identified version of the identified Web browser type can also be received from a program, such as a Web page script. In response to the request, an identification of the identified version of the identified Web browser type is being used to display the Web page is returned, and instructions of the program are executed based at least in part on the identified version of the identified Web browser type. | 07-02-2009 |
20110296322 | Markup Based Extensibility for User Interfaces - Methods, systems, and computer products are provided for exposing the programming of an application user interface to allow modification of the associated user interface to include adding, removing, disabling, enabling and repurposing new or existing user interface components. | 12-01-2011 |
20120278696 | RULE-BASED GRID INDEPENDENT OF CONTENT - Presentation of accessible content is in accordance with a grid established by rules independent of the content. Different rules establish different grids utilizable with the same content, thereby enabling proper formatting across a wide range of devices and displays. The rules provide for fixed size and auto sized column widths and row heights. Additionally, the rules provide for column widths and row heights size based on fractional weighting of the remaining space after the fixed size and auto sized grid members are accounted for. The grid establishes a coordinate system onto which content is “hung” by aligning an aspect of the content with a coordinate point. Content is hung by reference to its beginning, its end, its center point, or, alternatively, content can be specified to be stretched to fit the width of the column and the height of the row with which it is associated. | 11-01-2012 |
20120284607 | CONTENT FLOW THROUGH CONTAINERS - Content can be flowed through one or more containers that can be laid out analogously to printed material. Content is flowed into the first specified container until that container is “full” of content. Subsequent content is then flowed through subsequent containers, each of which is individually identified, and whose ordering is specified independently of their position and visual presentation. Multiple independent sources of content can be flowed through multiple independent collections of containers. Each container can format the content presented within it independently from other containers, and each container can comprise script, or other programmatic constructs, which can operate on, and modify, the content flowed into such a container. To provide for the rich layouts, content containers can be nested inside one another such that multiple layers, or levels, of the layout can be edited independently of one another. | 11-08-2012 |

20110011117 | HEAT EXCHANGER FOR USE IN COOLING LIQUIDS - A heat exchanger has at least one inlet and outlet to permit circulation of refrigerant therethrough. Each heat exchanger includes a plurality of thin sections of material arranged between a pair of thin flat outer plates. Each of the thin sections of material is comprised of parallel flow paths, allowing for the refrigerant to flow through the inlet, then from one section to the next, and finally out the outlet. The arrangement of the sections of parallel flow paths allows for the refrigerant to come into contact with the majority of the inside wall of the outer plates, allowing for maximum heat exchange. In use for cooling liquids, the heat exchangers are arranged within a frame and brought into contact with the liquid to be cooled. When the heat exchangers are used to cool liquid sufficiently to produce ice crystals, a rotating scraping device sweeps across the surface of the heat exchanger, removing any ice crystals that have formed. | 01-20-2011 |
