In one embodiment, a memory resource manager may pass data memory structures between application components on a computing device. A memory resourcemay store a data memory structure for a holding application component. A processormay pass a handle representing the data memory structure to a calling application componentupon access by the calling application component

Enabling fast string acquisition in an operating system for efficient interoperations with various language projections

Interface identifier parameterization techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a textual description is obtained of a parametric type represented in a binary standard of a programming model and an interface identifier is generated based at least in part on the obtained textual description of the parametric type.

A job completion architecture, includes content that is specified as a hierarchical tree of related content units and a set of multilevel tickets associated with instances of the hierarchically arranged content units. The job manager applies the multilevel tickets, specifying property settings at potentially multiple levels within the hierarchical tree, according to a qualified inheritance rule wherein settings applicable to a set of lower level properties that are specified within a first (higher level) ticket are incorporated into the merged settings to the extent a second (lower level) ticket does not specify settings for the set of lower level properties. If a same property is specified in both a higher and lower level ticket, during merging a setting specified in the lower level ticket overrides the higher level ticket setting.

Systems and methods relating to notebook computers providing enhanced display features are described. In one instance, an exemplary notebook computer includes a housing. The housing includes a base that has a keyboard positioned on the base. The housing also includes a lid attached to the base via a hinge means and configured to swing from a transport-position against the keyboard to a user-position away from the keyboard. The notebook computer also includes a first display device positioned on the lid and generally opposing the keyboard. The notebook computer further includes a second optionally-deployable display device attached to the notebook computer and configured to deploy from a first storage-position to a second user-position in which the second optionally-deployable display device is configured to collectively create a user workspace with the first display device for a user positioned in front of the keyboard and generally opposite the hinge means.
