  • Publication number: 20060068672
    Abstract: We have found a novel spray-on adhesive composition made from components including a high melt index polymer and a high melt tackifier that interact to produce a composition that can form a low odor, light color, non-tacky, hot melt adhesive material that can be used in disposable article manufacture. The adhesive is thermally stable at hot melt application conditions, is low in cost, is easily applied and produces high quality disposable articles.

  • Publication number: 20050220706
    Abstract: The ErbB-2 receptor, a member of the tyrosine kinase type 1 family of receptors, has been implicated in many human malignancies. Bacteriophage display technology was employed to identify peptides that bound to the extracellular domain of human ErbB-2. The peptide KCCYSL, most frequently occurring in the affinity selected population, was chemically synthesized and characterized for its binding activities to the recombinant extracellular domain of ErbB-2. The synthetic peptide exhibits high specificity to ErbB-2 as well as to ErbB-1, another member of ErbB family. Thus, this peptide can be employed in cancer imaging or therapeutic agent targeting to malignant cells ErbB-2 receptor.

  • Publication number: 20050183059
    Abstract: Architecture that integrates an unmanaged application as a hosted application into a design environment in a coherent yet usable manner such that the developer can use the hosted application's native functionality yet leverage rich productivity features provided by the IDE. The IDE includes a hosting component that comprises an application adaptor for providing an interface from the unmanaged application to the IDE. The IDE further includes a designer framework that provides user access to designer capabilities of the IDE. The host adaptor interfaces to the designer framework either directly and/or through an integration interface. Thus, the developer/user can then access the native functionality of the unmanaged application as well as the IDE functionality. This provides rich integration between the development environment and the hosted application, the end result of which is the designer interacting with the IDE.

  • Publication number: 20050183034
    Abstract: A system that facilitates menu management in an OLE document environment. The system includes a menu component that receives a server menu of a server application with a container menu of a container application. The menu component detects a menu conflict between the menus. The system further includes a conflict component that resolves the conflict between a server menu item of the server menu and a container menu item of the container menu, wherein at least one of the server menu item and the container menu item is modified to be unique from the other. The conflict component then outputs the integrated final menu.

  • Publication number: 20050022167
    Abstract: Specific tasks associated with debugging are performed in the background, prior to a user of an application development tool invoking the debugger. The tasks including (1) starting a hosting process, (2) loading a hosted runtime environment (e.g., .NET runtime) in the process, and (3) attaching a debugger to the hosting process, are performed in the background before the user commences debugging. Once the user invokes the debugger, the user's application is executed and debugged. Thus, the perceived time to start debugging is greatly reduced.
