Abstract:

XPS documents are created and accessed via a collection of interfaces of various classes of an application programming interface. The application programming interface includes a document sequence class for reading and writing the document sequence of the XPS document, a fixed document class for reading and writing the fixed documents of the document sequence, a page class for reading and writing the pages of the fixed documents, and a resource class for accessing the resources of each page. Applications seeking to create or read XPS documents may utilize the application programming interface such that the complexities of creating and accessing the XPS document are abstracted away.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709238000

Abstract:

Example embodiments allow a local network client to access information about a shared gateway to determine its actual amount of bandwidth consumption. The client can also obtain the total capacity of such shared gateway. Using its knowledge of its own bandwidth consumption, it can determine the other local network clients' usage of the shared gateway. With all of this information, i.e., total capacity of the shared gateway, the actual usage of the shared gateway, and the usage by other clients within the local network, the client can adjust or throttle background file transfers in order to keep the actual data transfers across the shared gateway within a reasonable percentage of the total capacity available. That is, a client will give priority to other local network computing machines' usage of the shared gateway by adjusting data transfers for its own background transfer system based on usage across a shared gateway.

US Classification:

713176000

Abstract:

Techniques relating to directed signature workflow of a document are described. In one instance, a process enables a publishing user to populate a body portion of a document with content. The process also allows the publishing user to populate an associated digital signature definitions portion of the document with at least one requested consuming user's name and at least one condition associated with a digital signature of the requested consuming user.
