Abstract: A system includes a client device and a server including a communication module configured to be accessed by the client device through which a user of the client device connects to another user via one of a plurality of communication services connected to the server, wherein one of the plurality of communication services is telephony.

Abstract: System and method for sharing data between a 3rd party website and a desktop application program on a user's computer, wherein the web pages of the 3rd party website access data associated with the application program such that the 3rd party web pages drive the data exchange. The 3rd party website is opened within a browser embedded within the desktop application program resident in a memory space on a user's computer and the web pages of the 3rd party website are allowed access to the data associated with the desktop application. Restrictions may be placed on the access given to the 3rd party web pages so that only data and information that is needed is accessed. The data associated with the desktop application may be stored in the memory space of the desktop application program, stored on the user's computer, or stored in a data source operably connected to the desktop application program.

Abstract: Non-fragmenting low friction bioactive absorbable coils are disclosed that improve long-term anatomic results in the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The coils are composed of at least one biocompatible and bioabsorbable polymer. The coils are then coated with a polymer to reduce the friction. The coating can contain drugs, such as growth factors, and can be used to accelerate histopathologic transformation in aneurysms. The coil can be a polymer such as polyglycolic acid (PGA), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), polycaprolactive, poly-L-lactide, polydioxanone, polycarbonates, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid/poly-L-lactic acid copolymers, polyhydroxybutyrate/hydroxyvalerate copolymers, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: A method for providing a dental appliance adapted to be worn by a patient by fabricating the dental appliance and coating one or more substances to the dental appliance. The coating substance can be used to strengthen the appliance during use or to deliver drugs.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting or diagnosing diseases by sampling and testing intra-oral fluids.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for intra-oral delivery of drugs.

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring orthodontic treatment compliance includes an appliance adapted to be worn over one or more teeth; and a compliance indicator mounted on the appliance to indicate compliance.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring and managing applications and services. A repository comprising information identifying a plurality of assets and one or more relationships among the assets is maintained. One or more assets used to support an application are identified, along with one or more applications that are included in a service. Event and performance data are collected by a plurality of tools that perform monitoring and/or managing of the identified assets, the application, and/or the service. The gathered event and performance data is aggregated. The user is provided with a portal to access the aggregated event and performance data. Through this portal, the user can determine an impact of an event or a performance issue on the application or service based on the aggregated event or performance data and the relationships among the assets.

Abstract: A method and apparatus provide for monitoring and controlling a chemical process with a chemical substance adapted for treatment of a semiconductor device. The chemical substance is held in a container. The process of monitoring is provided by transmitting a light or other electromagnetic energy from a source located within the container through the chemical substance. The electromagnetic energy transmitted through the chemical substance is sensed with a photosensor or a photosensor fiber located within the container. A comparison to a standard is made of the result of the sensing by spectrum analysis, with a passband filter between the source and the photosensor. The sensor may comprise a wavelength adjustable photosensor or a multiple wavelength photosensor.
