Abstract

Bras for high impact, high support activities are provided. A bra comprises a band that wraps around a torso. The band includes first and second cup regions, and a channel that runs below the collective cup regions. A gore is formed above the channel and between the respective cup regions, adjoining the respective cup regions. A molded cradle is fitted into the channel. For each cup region, a tessellated encapsulating bra cup is fitted therein. Each tessellated encapsulating bra cup includes a plurality of tiles. Respective tiles in the plurality of tiles that are further away from the cradle are larger in size than respective tiles in the plurality of tiles that are closer to the cradle. Each tessellated encapsulating bra cup has a generally concave first inner face and a generally convex first outer face. The tessellated encapsulating bra cups collectively contribute cantilevered support to the bra.

Abstract

Systems and methods for deploying enterprise software updates are provided. An identity of an application in an application group that is designated active is obtained in response to a command to run a first application on a client device. Only one application in the application group is designated active at any given time. In response to a determination that an identity of a second application in the application group matches the identity of the single application in the application group that is designated active, a procedure is run that includes terminating the first application and executing the second application. The executing retrieves all or a portion of a shared data element stored on the client device. The shared data element is shared between the first application and the second application, thereby allowing an application with an active status to run while preserving shared data associated with an inactive application.

Abstract

A computing system comprising a touch-sensitive surface, a processor, and memory is provided. The memory stores instructions for executing a method in which a plurality of images is accessed. The images are indexed in a data structure specifying a bi-directional order by which the images are to be accessed. A first image from the images is included in a module on the surface based upon the order. A navigation wheel and a bar UI element are included in the module. The bar UI element presents a current location indicator indicating a location of the first image within the structure. A directional input for the navigation wheel in a first direction is received, and, in response, the first image is replaced with a second image in the module from among the plurality of images based upon the order and the bar UI element is updated to indicate the second image location.
