Abstract: The present invention is a guide wire imaging device for vascular or non-vascular imaging utilizing optic acoustical methods, which device has a profile of less than 1 mm in diameter. The ultrasound imaging device of the invention comprises a single mode optical fiber with at least one Bragg grating, and a piezoelectric or piezo-ceramic jacket, which device may achieve omnidirectional (360°) imaging. The imaging guide wire of the invention can function as a guide wire for vascular interventions, can enable real time imaging during balloon inflation, and stent deployment, thus will provide clinical information that is not available when catheter-based imaging systems are used. The device of the invention may enable shortened total procedure times, including the fluoroscopy time, will also reduce radiation exposure to the patient and to the operator.

Abstract: Federated search is disclosed. A result associated with a search of a content source not natively configured to provide content type data for content items is received. A content type is associated with a content item included in the result based at least in part on information associated with the result.

Abstract: A method for providing local access to managed content is disclosed. The method comprises receiving from a remote host a request to perform an operation with respect to content associated with a set of managed content and obtaining information required to respond to the request. The method further comprises providing in response to the request a content locator usable to perform the requested operation through direct communication with a local content system associated with the remote host.

Abstract: Smart containers are disclosed. A system for managing content comprises an interface to receive an operation associated with an instance of a smart container. The smart container comprises a logical structure configure using a definition to manage associated content. The system for managing content comprises a processor configured to determine whether the operation is allowable based at least in part on a policy; and in the event that the operation is allowable, perform the operation. A memory is coupled to the processor and is configured to provide the processor with instructions.

Abstract: Virtual repository management is disclosed. An indication is received that a content management functionality is desired to be available with respect to one or more external content items. A reference object is created for each for the one or more external content items that represents the external content item and enables the content management functionality to be performed with respect to the external content item.

Abstract: Updating an implementation object is disclosed. A proxy is configured to provide access to a first implementation object that is used to manage an item of content included in a collection of managed content. The first implementation object is replaced with a second implementation object. The proxy is associated with the second implementation object.

Abstract: Deploying and distributing content management code is disclosed. A software object class is received at a repository. The software object class is stored at the repository. The software object class is downloaded from the repository to an application server associated with the repository.

Abstract: Processing an object that shares a parent with another object is disclosed. An indication is received with respect to an object that shares a parent object instance with one or more other objects that a change associated with the object is to be made to a data comprising the shared parent object instance. The parent object instance is cloned to create a new parent object instance. The new parent object instance is designated as the parent of the object instance.

Abstract: Reusing system configuration information and metadata for related operations is disclosed. It is determined that a group of content management system commands may be treated as a related set for purposes of updating content management system configuration information and/or metadata. The content management system configuration information and/or metadata are updated once for purposes of processing the group.

Abstract: Storing data is disclosed. An attribute is included in a combined set of attributes. The combined set of attributes includes a plurality of attribute values associated with an object and is stored in a single database field that is not specific to any one attribute in the combined set of attributes.

Abstract: Migrating a computer-provided solution to a service-oriented architecture is disclosed. One or more primary concerns, each representing a core operation of the computer-provided solution, are identified. One or more secondary concerns, each being associated with a manner in which a core operation of the computer-provided solution is performed, are identified. One or more services, each of which addresses one or more of said one or more primary concerns in a manner determined at least in part by a service context configured to address one or more of said one or more secondary concerns at least in part by indicating as applicable a manner in which applicable ones of said one or more services are to be performed, are defined.

Abstract: Retrieving stored data is disclosed. A retrieval request is received for an object. A retrieval response is generated that includes: 1) a first set of searchable attributes associated with the object, wherein an attribute of the first set of attributes is stored in a database in a manner that enables a database query to be performed against the attribute of the first set of attributes; and 2) a second set of non-searchable attributes associated with the object, wherein an attribute of the second set of attributes is stored in the database in a manner that does not enable a database query to be performed against the attribute of the second set of attributes.
