Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100042913VARIABLE FORMATTING OF CELLS - Variable formatting for cells in computer spreadsheets, tables, and other documents is provided. For a selected range of cells, cell formats vary with the value in each cell (or an associated value). Formats can include color-scale backgrounds, in-cell elements (e.g., icons and data bars), and other cell formats that can be varied with a value.02-18-2010
20100325526FILTER AND SORT BY FORMAT - The present invention comprises methods and user interfaces for organizing data displayed within a data application. Specifically, the present invention provides methods and systems for arranging the display of the data by a format applied to one or more portions of the data. The formats comprise different visual characteristics of the displayed data. In exemplary embodiments, the data application organizes the data by the fill color of the cell, the font color of the data within the cell, or the type of icon inserted into the cell. The organizations comprise any type of rearrangement of the data. In exemplary embodiments, the data application sorts or filters the displayed data according to the format.12-23-2010

20090319562CANVAS APPROACH FOR ANALYTICS - The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can construct a map for summarizing analyses with respect to data included in a database. In addition, the architecture can display the map in a special canvas area. Generally, the map is a hub-and-spoke-style map in which a hub is associated with an entity (e.g., a related set of records) included in a database. Likewise, the spokes are typically representative of operations (e.g., filter, join, transform) that act upon the hub/entity from which it extends. The map can aid with open-ended analysis on complex databases by recording and ordering competing hypotheses and can also further collaborative efforts with respect to analysis.12-24-2009
20090322755DECLARATIVE APPROACH FOR VISUZLIATION - The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can support a declarative model-based approach to designing, constructing, and rendering visualizations. By complying with a declarative descriptor, components can be readily customized by way of modifications to the model—declaratively specifying suitable features, behaviors, appearances and so forth. The descriptors that conform to the model can also facilitate connecting to various data sources and performing data transformation operations. Moreover, the descriptors that conform to the model can declaratively specify relationships based upon a scene layout. Accordingly, the architecture can further describe the scene layout and provide features based upon the layout.12-31-2009

20080205423Method and Apparatus for Communicating Variable-Sized Packets in a Communications Network - Methods and apparatus for managing a packet buffer memory are disclosed. One method includes providing a memory arranged as a plurality of cells identified by cell id, each cell having a granularity of k individual memory addresses. A cell list indexed by cell id is provided. The cell list includes a free cell list identifying cells available for storing data as a linked list, wherein a beginning of the free cell list identifies a starting cell id. A cell list indexed by cell id is provided. The free cell list includes cells available for storing data as a linked list, wherein a beginning of the free cell list identifies a starting cell id. Each portion of a packet is stored in cells indicated by and in a sequence indicated by traversing the cell list beginning with the starting cell id.08-28-2008
