Abstract: A client computing system (CCS) receives a download including (i) an image representative of at least one circuit in a vehicle, the at least one circuit including a first circuit configured for carrying a first signal within the vehicle, and (ii) symbol data associated with at least one symbol, the at least one symbol including a first symbol. After receiving the download, the CCS displays the image and the at least one symbol. The CCS then receives a first input corresponding to selection of the first symbol. The CCS then responsively receives, from the vehicle, data representing value(s) of the first signal. The CCS then determines a first display-location at which to display the data representing the value(s) of the first signal. While the image and the at least one symbol are displayed, the CCS then displays, at the first display-location, the data representing the value(s) of the first signal.

Abstract: A system for monitoring and tracking swelling of a patient's limb includes a dressing, an imaging device, and processing circuitry. The dressing is positioned on a patient's limb over a wound and includes a pattern indicator. The imaging device is configured to obtain an image of the dressing and the pattern indicator. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain an initial image of the pattern indicator, obtain one or more subsequent images of the pattern indicator at later times, and determine a swelling change of the patient's limb using the initial image and the one or more subsequent images.

Abstract: In one example embodiment, an apparatus may include a panel with integrated fluid channels, wherein the panel and the fluid channel consist only of surfaces that can be manufactured with a straight-pull mold. A port may also be integrated into the panel to facilitate coupling the fluid channel to pneumatic components in an assembly. A seal may be secured to the panel over the fluid channel to form an integrated fluid conductor. The seal is preferably an adhesive label that can also be used for product labeling. Such an apparatus may be used in a control unit of a therapy system, employing several integrated fluid conductors. A method of manufacturing may include molding a panel, wherein the mold forms a channel integral to the panel. The panel and the channel preferably consist of surfaces that can be molded with a straight-pull mold.

Abstract: The creation and utilization of network restore points is provided by a schema associated with a structured data set that can be conveniently backed up by periodically taking snapshots of the structured data to establish a series of restore points that can be used in the event that the primary structured data becomes lost or corrupted. In general, the snapshots are only taken after the structured data set has undergone a change in content, although they may be taken at other times as well. The snapshot may be taken by a network restore point engine that can be accessed by a user over the Internet. In addition, the snapshot may be stored on an Internet-based storage medium or it may be pushed to or pulled by the client so that the snapshot resides on a client-resident storage medium.

Abstract: The invention utilizes local search engines to view a display of local business listings in order of relevance to the user. Relevance to the user depends on a variety of factors whose importance varies by user and business—these factors include distance from user-defined starting location, business size, whether or not the business is local, content provided with listing, and relevance based on user-defined search terms. The system collects and parses business information from Web pages and other sources, stores the information in a format that facilitates searches, provides a simple way for users to initiate searches, analyzes all the factors mentioned above each time a search is performed, retrieves listings in order of factor importance, and displays results to the user in order and formatted to make further inspection and use of the results easy for the user.

Abstract: Abuse of a content-sharing service is detected by an arrangement in which an in-memory cache is distributed among a plurality of nodes, such as front-end web servers, and which caches each item accessed by users of the service as a single instance in the distributed cache. Associated with each cached item is a unit of metadata which functions as a counter that is automatically incremented each time the item is served from the distributed cache. Because abusive items often tend to become quickly popular for downloading, when the counter exceeds a predetermined threshold over a given time interval, it is indicative of an access rate that makes the item a candidate for being deemed abusive. A reference to the item and its access count are responsively written to a persistent store such as a log file or database.

Abstract: MTOM data transfer via TCP is described. In an embodiment, a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) message is separated into message units using SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM). The message units include a text-based component and independent binary component(s) of the SOAP message. A virtual connection protocol manages and sequences binary transport connection(s), such as transmission control protocol (TCP) connection events, to provide reliable wireless transfer of the message units via the binary transport connection(s).

Abstract: The present invention features a non-human animal model that is susceptible to infection by human hepatotrophic pathogens, particularly human hepatitis C virus (HCV). The model is based on a non-human, immunocompromised transgenic animal having a human-mouse chimeric liver, where the transgene provides for expression of a urokinase-type plasminogen activator in the liver. The invention also features methods for identifying candidate therapeutic agents, e.g., agents having antiviral activity against HCV infection. The animals of the invention are also useful in assessing toxicity of various agents, as well as the activity of agents in decreasing blood lipids.

Abstract: Dried bundles of chopped glass fibers that may be used in compression and injection molding applications is provided. The chopped glass fiber bundles are formed of individual glass fibers positioned in a substantial parallel orientation. The dried chopped glass fiber bundles may be prepared by applying a size composition to attenuated glass fibers, splitting the fibers to obtain a desired bundle tex, chopping the wet glass bundles to a discrete length, and drying the wet glass bundles in a dielectric oven. Alternatively, the dried chopped glass bundles may be prepared by sizing attenuated glass fibers, passing the sized fibers through a heat transfer chamber where air heated by a bushing is drawn into the heat transfer chamber to dry the glass fiber bundles, splitting the dried, sized glass fiber bundles to obtain a desired bundle tex, and chopping the dried bundles of glass fibers.

Abstract: Dynamic utilization of condensing metadata is enabled by condensing information being communicated to/from a mobile device. The communication exchange occurs between a mobile device and an internet service, and it involves a mobile internet service proxy. The information is condensed responsive to condensing metadata and uncondensed using the condensing metadata. In an example embodiment, condensing metadata comprises encoding metadata for tags and compression metadata for other data. In a first described implementation, a mobile internet service proxy effectuates a static installation of condensing metadata to the mobile device from the internet service. In a second described implementation, the internet service lacks condensing metadata. The mobile internet service proxy therefore retrieves the schema defining the relevant information and dynamically generates condensing metadata.

Abstract: An apparatus for covering a stern drive aperture in the hull of a boat. It comprises a planar plate having a plurality of arm members projecting outwardly from its sides. It further has a hole completely through the surface of the plate which is encircled by the mouth of a hollow vessel. The apparatus is useful in protecting the exposed parts of a boat engine when the external drive mechanism is removed for storage or shipment.
