Abstract: Dynamic icons are described that can employ animations, such as visual effects, audio, and other content that change with time. If multiple animations are scheduled to occur simultaneously, the timing of the animations can be controlled so that timing overlap of the animations is reduced. For example, the starting times of the animations can be staggered so that multiple animations are not initiated too close in time. It has been found that too much motion in the user interface can be distracting and cause confusion amongst users.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an intelligent weight monitoring system and the method thereof. The system comprises a weight monitoring module, a signal processing module, and a comparison module. The weight measuring module measures at least a weight of a sickbed having a patient, and produces and transmits at least a signal according to the measured weight. The signal processing module processes the signal for producing and transmitting physiological data to the comparison module. The comparison module judges if the patient is abnormal according to the physiological data for producing an abnormal signal. The patient's family members or nurses can get the abnormal signal produced by the comparison module real-timely. Thereby, appropriate medical measures can be applied according to the abnormal signal.

Abstract: A user interface (UI) system calculates movements in a multi-layer graphical user interface. The UI system receives user input corresponding to gestures on a touchscreen. The UI system calculates a movement of a first layer in a first direction (e.g., a horizontal direction) at a first movement rate. The UI system calculates a movement of a second layer substantially parallel to the movement of the first layer, at a second movement rate that differs from the first movement rate. The UI system calculates a movement (e.g., a vertical movement) in a direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction, in a UI element of one of the layers.

Abstract: A method for shrinking a linewidth on a substrate includes the steps of applying a stretching force on the substrate, defining a line on a top surface of the substrate and releasing the applied stretching force. The applied force is executed by mechanical stretching or thermal expansion and has a direction parallel to the line.

Abstract: The invention concerns human platelet extracts rich in growth factors (PGF) for wound healing and stem cell expansion. Accordingly the subject invention relates to a virally-inactivated growth factors-containing platelet lysate depleted of PDGF and VEGF, which is preferably enriched in TGF, IGF and EGF-rich. The present invention further concerns a method for obtaining a platelet lysate comprising the steps of contacting a starting platelet concentrate with a solvent and/or a detergent, incubating the starting platelet concentrate with the solvent and/or detergent for a period of at least 5 minutes to 6 hours, at a pH maintained in a range from about 6.0 to about 9.0, and at a temperature within the range of from 2° C. to 50° C., optionally removing the solvent and/or the detergent by oil extraction and obtaining an aqueous protein phase, and incubating the solvent and/or detergent-treated platelet concentrate or the aqueous protein phase with charcoal.

Abstract: Because of the small size and mobility of smart phones, and because they are typically hand-held, it is both natural and feasible to use hand, wrist, or arm gestures to communicate commands to the electronic device as if the device were an extension of the user's hand. Some user gestures are detectable by electro-mechanical motion sensors within the circuitry of the smart phone. The sensors can sense a user gesture by detecting a physical change associated with the device, such as motion of the device or a change in orientation. In response, a voice-based or image-based input mode can be triggered based on the gesture. Methods and devices disclosed provide a way to select from among different input modes to a device feature, such as a search, without reliance on manual selection.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for nucleotide incorporation reactions. The systems comprise polymerases having altered nucleotide incorporation kinetics and are linked to an energy transfer donor moiety, and nucleotide molecules linked with at least one energy transfer acceptor moiety. The donor and acceptor moieties undergo energy transfer when the polymerase and nucleotide are proximal to each other during nucleotide binding and/or nucleotide incorporation. As the donor and acceptor moieties undergo energy transfer, they generate an energy transfer signal which can be associated with nucleotide binding or incorporation. Detecting a time sequence of the generated signals, or the change in the signals, can be used to determine the order of the incorporated nucleotides, and can therefore be used to deduce the sequence of the target molecule.

Abstract: Techniques and tools are described for rendering views of a map in which map metadata elements are layered in 3D space through which a viewer navigates. Layering of metadata elements such as text labels in 3D space facilitates parallax and smooth motion effects for zoom-in, zoom-out and scrolling operations during map navigation. A computing device can determine a viewer position that is associated with a view altitude in 3D space, then render for display a map view based upon the viewer position and metadata elements layered at different metadata altitudes in 3D space. For example, the computing device places text labels in 3D space above features associated with the respective labels, at the metadata altitudes indicated for the respective labels. The computing device creates a map view from points of the placed labels and points of a surface layer of the map that are visible from the viewer position.
