If you take a look in my signature below, there is a Direct3D11 book that covers the language as well as a number of sample applications (although not the ones you listed). In addition, there is a free D3D10 book that you can access online that has lots of examples for you to check out.

Jason Zink :: DirectX MVP

Direct3D 11 engine on CodePlex: Hieroglyph 3

Direct3D Books: Practical Rendering and Computation with Direct3D 11, Programming Vertex, Geometry, and Pixel Shaders
Articles: Dual-Paraboloid Mapping Article :: Parallax Occlusion Mapping Article (original):: Fast Silhouettes Article

HLSL Development Cookbook at Packt might also help you out. I have found Jason Z's book quite useful also.

There are plenty of great examples for specific effects/techniques out there, its just a pain trying to track them down Good luck!

p.s. although not focused on HLSL alone, my book linked below contains a number D3D examples that you may find useful also :P
