Abstract: A system is presented for provisioning resources on a target cloud platform based on a platform-independent specification of a data center. The system identifies data center entities represented within the platform-independent declarative specification and generates data structures and metadata representations of the data center entities. The system then generates instructions for provisioning services or deploying applications for creating one or more services on the target cloud platform based on the data structures and metadata representations of the data center entities according to the declarative specification. The system sends the generated instructions for execution on the target cloud computing platform, where the target cloud computing platform executes the instructions to generate the data center. The system provides users with access to the computing resources of the data center created by the cloud computing platform.

Abstract: A method is disclosed as including sending, to a remote server, information identifying a first location within a building. In response to such sending, data may be received from the remote server. The data may comprise a plurality of unique identifiers, each unique identifier thereof corresponding to a unique radio tag located in a unique location within the building. The data may be used to deliver to a user a first series of audible commands guiding the user within the building toward the first location. For example, a first radio transmission may be received from a first radio tag located within the building. The first radio transmission may communicate a first identifier that is associated within the data to first navigation information. Thus, the first navigation information may be used to guide the user within the building toward the first location.

Abstract: Pulmonary treatment devices, systems and methods of use are provided which take into account the vast tissue damage of advanced COPD sufferers and provide treatments designed specifically to treat the particularly compromised lung tissues that are present in these patients. These treatments reduce trapped air volume, tension lung tissue and enhance lung elastic recoil. In particular, a variety of embodiments of invertible pulmonary treatment devices are provided. The devices are comprised of a shape memory material wherein the devices are able to be expanded under tension, and then are able to recoil back toward an original relaxed or resting shape. In these embodiments, a portion of the device is invertible. Thus, each device is able to store energy at least in the inversion, wherein the energy is utilized to continually tension the lung as the device relaxes toward its original shape.

Abstract: Disclosed are multi-ply tissue products comprising a non-crosslinked binder that are durable and dispersible. The products generally have a Slosh time less than 2 minutes, such as less than about 60 seconds, such as less than about 45 seconds. Surprisingly, the foregoing Slosh times are achieved despite the tissue products having relatively high cross-machine direction (CD) wet tensile strength, such as greater than about 100 g/3?. Typically, increasing wet tensile strength, particularly wet CD tensile strength, negatively effects dispersability and increases Slosh time. Despite this trend, the present invention surprisingly provides a tissue product having a relatively high degree of wet strength and good dispersability.

Abstract: A tendon stretching mechanism which engages the torn tendon using sutures. A second end of the sutures is exposed through the skin. Using a tensioning mechanism, a selectively pull is applied to the second end of the sutures to gradually stretch the tendon. This stretching of the tendon may take a week or more or until the tendon has been sufficiently elongated for reattachment to the bone. The tensioning mechanism is either manually operated or is automatic.
