| 20090210372 | RULE-BASED PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES FOR ENTITIES IN ENVIRONMENTS - A rule-based programming language may be devised for programming an entity in an environment. Computer systems may therefore be configured to program the entity with at least one rule comprising at least zero language conditions representing an action condition, at least one language verb representing an action, and at least zero language verb parameters representing an action object. The computer system may also be configured to facilitate entry by a user of a rule set according to the rule-based programming language by receiving user selections of language conditions, language verbs, and language verb parameters. By facilitating the programming by users of entities within environments, the computer system may facilitate individuals (such as non-technical individuals, aspiring programmers, and children) in understanding programming concepts, encourage the development of experience with computer programming, and permit the generation of useful computer programs by non-proficient programmers. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100245106 | Mobile Computer Device Binding Feedback - Embodiments of mobile computer device binding feedback are described. In embodiments, an application interface for a device application is displayed on a first display that is integrated in a first housing of a dual-display mobile computer device. The application interface can also be displayed on a second display that is integrated in a second housing of the dual-display mobile computer device. Binding position data is received that is associated with a binding system that movably connects the first housing and the second housing. Application context data that is associated with the device application is also received. Feedback can then be generated that correlates to the binding position data and to the application context data. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100245209 | MOBILE COMPUTER DEVICE DISPLAY POSTURES - Embodiments of mobile computer device display postures are described. In embodiments, a first display is integrated in a first housing of a dual-display mobile computer device, and a second display is integrated in a second housing of the dual-display mobile computer device. Position data can be sensed from a binding that movably connects the first housing and the second housing, and a position angle can be determined between the first housing and the second housing that correlates to a display posture of the first display and the second display. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110063192 | MOBILE COMPUTER DEVICE BINDING FEEDBACK - In embodiments of mobile computer device binding feedback, an application interface for a device application is displayed on a first display that is integrated in a dual-display mobile device. The application interface can also be displayed on a second display that is integrated in the dual-display mobile device. Binding position data is received from a binding system that movably couples the first display to the second display. Application context data that is associated with the device application is also received. Feedback can then be generated based on the binding position data and the application context data, where the feedback can be generated as audio feedback, video feedback, display feedback, and/or haptic feedback. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110304649 | CHARACTER SELECTION - Character selection techniques are described. In implementations, a list of characters is output for display in a user interface by a computing device. An input is recognized, by the computing device, that was detected using a camera as a gesture to select at least one of the characters. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20120042246 | CONTENT GESTURES - Content gestures are described. In implementations, one or more controls are output to control output of content and for display in a user interface by a computing device. An input is recognized, by the computing device, which was detected using a camera as a gesture to interact with a particular one of the controls to control the output of the content. | 02-16-2012 |

| 20100048964 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING ISOPRENE FREE OF C5 HYDROCARBONS UNDER DECOUPLING CONDITIONS AND/OR SAFE OPERATING RANGES - The invention features methods for producing isoprene from cultured cells wherein the cells in the stationary phase. The invention also provides compositions that include these cultured cells and/or increased amount of isoprene. The invention also provides for systems that include a non-flammable concentration of isoprene in the gas phase. Additionally, the invention provides isoprene compositions, such as compositions with increased amount of isoprene or increased purity. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100086978 | INCREASED ISOPRENE PRODUCTION USING THE ARCHAEAL LOWER MEVALONATE PATHWAY - The invention features methods for producing isoprene from cultured cells using a feedback-resistant mevalonate kinase polypeptide, such as an archaeal mevalonate kinase polypeptide. The resulting isoprene compositions may have increased yields and/or purity of isoprene. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20110014672 | ISOPRENE PRODUCTION USING THE DXP AND MVA PATHWAY - The invention provides for methods for producing isoprene from cultured cells using various components of the DXP pathway and MVA pathway, or components associated with the DXP pathway and MVA pathway, iron-sulfur cluster-interacting redox polypeptides, and isoprene synthase. The invention also provides compositions that include these cultured cells. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20100103098 | User Interface Elements Positioned For Display - User interface elements positioned for display is described. In various embodiment(s), sensor input can be received from one or more sensors that are integrated with a portable device. A device hold position that corresponds to where the portable device is grasped by a user can be determined based at least in part on the sensor input. A display of user interface element(s) can then be initiated for display on an integrated display of the portable device based on the device hold position that corresponds to where the portable device is grasped. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20080288886 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING AND MANIPULATING HIERARCHICALLY LINKED DATA IN A GENEALOGY DATABASE USING A GRAPHICAL INTERFACE - A system and method for displaying, searching, manipulating and modifying of hierarchically linked genealogy data in a relational database on a computer system. A graphic representation of the data in the database is displayed on a computer display device. The system uses zooming, a common function used in computer systems, to show more or less information in the database in readable form. Using the computer pointer devices, the data in the database can be manipulated, added, deleted, or moved. The system allows for changing of the root node individual thereby giving a different view of the database, to zoom in or zoom out and save that view of the database for future reference. The system displays all relationships of the data in the hierarchical structure by use of various sizes and type of lines and positions in the structure and shows for example data further away from the root node individual as a progressively smaller graphical image. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20120098290 | VEHICLE ROOF WITH RETRACTABLE WINDSHIELD - The vehicle roof with a retractable windshield provides a retractable windshield for vehicles, such as UTVs, golf carts and the like, which typically do not include a windshield. The vehicle roof with a retractable windshield includes a roof base adapted for mounting on the vehicle in place of the conventional single panel roof. A cover is also provided, with the cover being adapted for mounting on the roof base so that a storage compartment is defined therebetween. A rear edge of the cover is pivotally secured to a rear edge of the roof base by hinges or the like. A windshield having a support frame with opposed upper and lower edges is removably and slidably disposed within the storage compartment defined between the cover and the roof base. | 04-26-2012 |
