  • Publication number: 20050268223
    Abstract: A computer readable medium, method, and device for generating extensible Markup Language (XML) schema fragments for use in validating an XML message in a particular wire format is disclosed. The method uses as its input a custom XML schema based message model containing logical model extensions or wire format specific rendering options. The output of the method is an XML schema that includes XML schema fragments. The output schema complies with an accepted XML schema standard recognized by a standard schema validator. At run time, the output XML schema, along with the standard schema validator, may be used at a node which does not understand the custom message model to validate incoming XML messages. Depending upon the manner of generating of the XML schema fragments, the resultant validation may be strict or lax.

  • Publication number: 20050228001
    Abstract: Pharmaceutical preparations comprising one or more agents that reduce the number of circulating platelets to low normal or below normal levels formulated in a delivery system are provided. The pharmaceutical preparations are useful in the prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of subjects for the purpose of inhibiting vaso-occlusive events, including embolism, by reducing the number of circulating platelets to low normal to below normal levels.

  • Publication number: 20050091249
    Abstract: A technique for serializing both logical and physical meta-model information in a single file is disclosed. In an embodiment, the logical meta-model information is serialized in an Extensible Marking Language (XML) schema compliant format, and the physical meta-model information is inserted into the logical meta-model in suitable locations such that the mappings between the logical and physical meta-models are preserved. In an embodiment, an XML “appInfo” annotation is used to carry physical meta-model information used by multiple applications and suitably placed in a nested configuration with its corresponding logical meta-model information.

  • Patent number: 5740455
    Abstract: A computer program product, which includes a computer usable medium having computer readable code embodied therein for processing data in a compound document. The compound document includes a plurality of embedded object editors for respectively rendering data having different interest types in different compound document content areas. The compound document further includes a plurality of editing controllers embedded in the compound document. The inventive computer program product includes computer readable program code configured to cause a computer to detect whether a selection is made in one of the data. Furthermore, there is included computer readable program code configured to cause the computer to effect the filling out of an auditor data structure with attributes of the selection by the object editor that is associated with the data in which the selection is made.

  • Patent number: 5664208
    Abstract: A compound document in a computer, which includes a first object editor embedded in the compound document for rendering first data in a first data content area of the compound document. The compound document further includes a second object editor embedded in the compound document for rendering second data in a second data content area of the compound document, the first data content area and the second data content area being mutually exclusive. Further, there are embedded a plurality of editing controllers in the compound document for selectively editing attributes of a selection of one of the first and second data.
