Abstract: Techniques for allowing a user to invoke lifecycle operations on a data store configured in accordance with a data management scheme, without knowledge of the data management scheme. Techniques include receiving user input from a user interface; identifying, in the received user input, an indication of a first lifecycle operation corresponding to a first entry in a template; based on information in the first entry, identifying in the received user input a first configuration value associated with the first lifecycle operation; formatting the first configuration value as at least a portion of at least one argument to a first command; and invoking, via the first command with the at least one argument, a first computer program configured to perform the first lifecycle operation on the data store.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating and modifying a workflow comprising a series of webpages based on an online document. A document management system accesses an online document selected by a user and classifies each field of the online document into one of a set of categories. For each category, the system generates a form webpage comprising questions corresponding to each field classified as the category and combines the generated webpages to create a workflow. The system may modify the workflow by generating and adding one or more additional form webpages based on one or more answers provided by an entity completing the webform page. In response to the entity completing the modified generated workflow, the system generates a completed document based on the online document and the answers provided by the entity.

Abstract: A drape system may include a drape and a connector for connecting a patient tracking device across the drape. The drape may be placed over a patient undergoing a medical procedure. The connector may be defined by first and second connector bodies. The first connector body may couple to a base of the patient tracking device which, in turn, is attached to the patient. The second connector body may couple to a head of the patient tracking device. The head of the patient tracking device can carry at least one tracking marker configured to be tracked by a surgical position recognition system. The two connector bodies can connect together with the drape positioned between the two bodies.

Abstract: A centralized document system receives a request to merge a first document package associated with a first party and a second document package associated with a second party. The first document package includes a first set of documents and the second document package includes a second set of documents. In response to the request, the centralized document system identifies a first subset of documents included in both the first and second sets of documents and identifies a second subset of documents with conflicts between the first and second sets of documents. The centralized document system rectifies the second subset of documents to cure the conflicts between the first and second sets of documents. The centralized document system generates a merged document package including the first subset of documents and the rectified second subset of documents for execution by the first and second parties.

Abstract: A centralized document system generates a document package in response to a request by an originating entity. The document package includes at least one document for execution. To facilitate the execution of the at least one document, the centralized document system can provide one or more means to modify the document package. The centralized document system may provide the document package to a receiving entity and receive a request to modify the document package from the receiving entity. The centralized document system may scan the document package prior to sending to a receiving entity and automatically modify the document package according to the scan. The centralized document system may provide the document package to a receiving entity and determine the receiving entity is unavailable. As such, the centralized document system may determine a substitute receiving entity and provide the document package to the substitute entity for execution.

Abstract: An electronic document service provides an interoperable network in which entities can come to agreement as peers. Entities can create a network of trusted accounts, enable sharing and collaboration within the network, enforce process settings of shared transactions, and enable customized levels of visibility into transactions for all entities involved. In embodiments, an agent server receives documents from suppliers to be executed within a network of the electronic document service. Each document corresponds to signing requirements and collection requirements. The agent server combines the documents into a single signing package based on the signing requirements associated with each document. The agent server provides the signing package for execution, and receives the executed signing package. The agent server extracts the individual signed documents from the executed signing package.

Abstract: One aspect of the present invention relates to a method for optimizing a user interface (UI) for an active application over a computing device. The method includes receiving the gaze information, including gaze location, of a user's gaze on the UI, determining a first section of a plurality of sections of the UI associated with the received gaze location, and muting other of the plurality of sections outside of the first section, such that the first section in the UI remains active.

Abstract: Tool bars are provided along lateral edges of a display of a handheld computing device. The tool bars include icons that represent application features. The user may interact with the application by touching the icons on the display. Since mobile computing devices are commonly held at the lateral sides of the device, navigation and activation buttons are in close proximity to a natural location of a user's thumbs. The proximity of the tool bars to the thumbs increases efficiency and accuracy when interacting with the application. The tool bars may be displayed in an expanded state such that a text label may be displayed to identify the application feature that each icon represents. The tool bars may also include functionality that displays additional information for any of the application features represented by the icons without navigating the application away from the current screen.

Abstract: In a method and system for securitizing Zero Coupon Bonds and Equity Index portfolios, a Target Date Exchange Traded Fund structure is provided that can deliver investors a specific and unchanging portfolio that is precisely designed for an investment horizon between the present and a given Target Date. The ETF holds an index of ZCBs that will protect and guarantee principal at the stated target date. The percentage of the ETF's total value to be invested in this ZCB Index is determined by an exact asset allocation formula calculating the present value of the ETFs current principal. Since ZCBs always trade at a discount to their maturity value, this formula always calculates to less than the ETF's overall value hence allowing the differential to be invested in an Equity Index for long term appreciation of capital. Once the ETF is established and invested under this structure it need not be re-balanced or it may be re-balanced periodically.

The look of boxer shorts is provided with the added benefit of built-in invisible male briefs for supporting the male anatomy.

Abstract: Apparatus for resistance welding consisting of two electrodes that face one another and are biased toward one another by a spring force. Each electrode is held by an electrode support through which an electro-magnetic force is generated to urge the supports away from each other and augment the bias exerted thereon, by converting the movement of the electrode supports away from one, into movement of the electrodes toward one another.
