  • Publication number: 20230096642
    Abstract: A port includes a conduit configured to receive a spike therein. The conduit includes a first portion, a second portion, and a septum fluidly separates the first portion and the second portion of the conduit. The septum is puncturable by the spike so as to allow the spike to be inserted into the second portion of the conduit. A removable snap portion extends from a break point to the tip of the port. The thickness of the break point is less than the thickness of the remainder of the conduit wall. The removable snap portion is configured to break away from the port at the break point such that the septum is accessible by the spike via the first portion of the conduit when the removable snap portion is broken away from the port. The port may include fluorinated ethylene propylene, ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, perfluoroalkoxy alkane, and combinations thereof.

  • Publication number: 20170329826
    Abstract: Data searching over a network is facilitated. A search request is received from a user device via the network. The search request includes information related to the user device. The search request is processed by identifying a context chain related to the user device based on information passed with the search request. The context chain is an array of contexts. Contexts are added to and subtracted from the context chain dependent upon communications received from the user device. The search request is responded to by providing at least one search result to the user device. The search result is obtained from at least one context in the plurality of contexts.

  • Patent number: 7958104
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are provided for facilitating data searching over a network. For example, in one implementation, a first component may be adapted to communicate with a user via a user device over the network. A second component may be adapted to receive a search request from the user via the user device over the network, process the search request by identifying zero or more contexts related to the user based on information that may be passed with the search request or via other sources, and provide zero or more search results in response to the search request. A database may be adapted to store information, including contextual information, related to the user. The second component may select information from the database related to zero or more contexts in order to provide zero or more search results to the user. Various other implementations are also provided.
