Filed:

May 18, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/313917

Inventors:

Tony Hongtong Lin - Campbell CA

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

345726, 345730

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a method and system for generating a movie file from a slide show presentation created with a presentation program. When the movie file is played back, a movie of the slide show presentation is displayed to a user. Objects in the slide show presentation are identified and automatically transformed into corresponding movie data that is saved in the movie file. The movie data includes visual, e. g. , video, and audio samples linked to respective tracks that are referenced to the slide show presentation. Also, the objects of the slide show presentation may be copied into the movie file so that an application program that recognizes the copied objects in the movie file may present the slide show presentation. The content of the movie file may be selected for compressing with a compression method and the user may select how to optimize the method. A movie application programming interface (API) such as âQuickTimeâ and âVideo for Windowsâ is employed to create and save the movie data in the movie file.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709225000

Abstract:

Described is a system and method that enables project management across application programs, including an email program, calendar program, spreadsheet program, word processing program, note taking program and others. A central project-related view provides access to project-related data items and may display a schedule, a task list of tasks filtered as being relevant to a project, a note page related to a project, and emails relevant to the project. In addition, other application objects (file, documents, presentations and spreadsheets) are also captured in the view and presented for easy access. Metadata including a project identifier is maintained in a database for the various data items, allowing rapid location of the data items related to a project via query techniques. A project palette allows access to the items from within another application program, and a project gallery allows a user alternative access to the files related to a project.

Appl. No.:

11/224596

Inventors:

Tony Lin - Mountain View CA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 15/177

US Classification:

709220000

Abstract:

Utilization of a resource by an application can be optimized in response to an optimization event. The event may include an expiration of a timer, a change in an operating condition of the application, a detection of work to be performed by the application, or some other event. Optimizing the application increases the operating efficiency of the application on the client as well as the application itself. Data used to optimize the application on a client may include environmental data, application operation data, and other data. The data may be weighted or considered equally.

International Classification:

G01N 30/30
H05B 3/42
G01N 30/54

Abstract:

To heat a flowing liquid, an apparatus includes a heater block assembly having a heater block made of thermally conductive material. The heater block assembly has a tube inlet, a tube outlet, and a tube path between the tube inlet and tube outlet. Tubing extends through the tube path from the tube inlet to the tube outlet. The tubing is in thermal communication with the heater block. A heater cartridge, in thermal communication with the heater block, is configured to provide heat to the heater block for transfer to liquid flowing through the tubing between the tube inlet and the tube outlet of the heater block assembly. Circuitry is in electrical communication with the heater cartridge to control a temperature of the heater block by controlling operation of the heater cartridge.
