A computer-implemented method includes generating, using an embedded client application, a keyword context for a container document holding the embedded client application; generating, using the embedded client application, a geographic context associated with a device on which the container document is displayed; submitting the keyword context and the geographic context to a remote server; and displaying an interactive application using information obtained in response to the submission of the keyword context and geographic criteria.

Systems and methods associated for providing haptic feedback are provided. For instance, data indicative of a feedback scheme associated with an input mechanism can be accessed. The feedback scheme includes one or more feedback points associated with a position of a moveable portion of the input mechanism. The input mechanism is configured to change positions responsive to an actuation of the input mechanism by a user. One or more positions of the moveable portion of the input mechanism can be determined as the input mechanism is actuated by the user. Operation of one or more feedback motors can be controlled to provide feedback to the user in accordance with the feedback scheme based at least in part on the determined one or more positions of the input mechanism.

Haptic feedback system

A filament inspection system is disclosed that gathers empirical data on the physical and chemical properties of filament. The illustrative embodiments need only a single video camera and two mirrors to image all of the exterior surfaces of one or more filaments simultaneously. These images can be used to analyze the physical properties of the filament. Furthermore, the illustrative embodiments need only a simple electrical network to gather empirical data on the permittivity of each segment of filament, which gives insights into the chemical properties of the filament. For example, embodiments of the present invention are particularly well suited for inspecting fiber-reinforced thermoplastic filament, and variations in the number, dispersion, wetting, and length of the fibers are all observable in variations in permittivity.

Systems and methods associated with modular computing environments are provided. For instance, a modular computing environment can include a control entity including one or more processing devices. The modular computing environment can include one or more modular components directly or indirectly coupled to the control entity. The one or more modular components can be configured to receive a module specifying one or more instructions to be performed by an external device. The one or more modular components include one or more processing devices. Each modular component is configured to determine state data associated with the modular component based at least in part on the received module and to provide the state data to the control entity. The state data includes an identification signature of the received module and a configuration context of the modular component within the modular computing environment.

A software module is presented that enables a user to efficiently switch between interacting with a content object in a first context and a second context. Information from the first context is used when switching to the second context and vice versa, thereby decreasing the overhead associated with switching contexts. In one embodiment, the content object is an HTML file, the first context is the file as it appears in a web browser, and the second context is the file in editable format. In one embodiment, when the web browser is directed to a 'context-switch URL,' a modified web server extracts information from the context-switch URL and switches the context from the first context to the second. In one embodiment, a person initiates a context-switch by pushing a button on the web browser. This causes a context-switch URL to be generated and directs the web browser to the context-switch URL.

Dual context interaction with a content object for facilitating content creation and software development

A document publishing system. Users create document templates using a first user interface. Users generate content files related to the templates. The templates and document files are combined to create documents. A second user interface has functionality defined by high-level users.

Simplified document creation

A document publishing system. Documents can be automatically linked. Links are automatically created within a first document to other documents, or to locations within the first document and then modified as necessary depending on a destination location to which the first document is moved.

Automatic linking of documents

A document publishing system. Documents can be automatically linked. Links are automatically created within a document to other documents, or to locations within the same document.

A system for spacing, storing and recognizing electronic representations of handwriting and printing comprises a central processing unit that couples with a display device, an input device, and a memory. The memory includes means for spacing ink stroke representations, means for recognizing outline elements, means for performing deferred recognition, means for highlighting drawing areas and means for storing and displaying ink stroke representations. These means operate together to provide a pen-based or graphics oriented computer system with improved performance and added functionality for manipulating the space between ink stroke representations. The preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises several novel methods that provide this functionality including: a method for managing space between ink stroke representations, a method for displaying drawing elements in a visually distinct manner, a method for recognizing bullets and dashes, a method for storing ink stroke representations, a method for displaying and printing ink stroke representations, and a method for performing deferred character or word recognition.
