Abstract: Methods and systems for creating a webpage having different element orders for different webpage widths are disclosed. A computing device receives inputs specifying different layouts of elements in different orders for different webpage widths. The computing device creates markup code for the webpage that specifies separate subtrees of nodes for the different layouts and then modifies the markup code to replace duplicate nodes with placeholders in the subtrees. The computing device also creates script code for the webpage with instructions for modifying a live DOM created from the markup code based on current webpage width. Specifically, the script code modifies the live DOM to specify positioning the elements differently for different webpage widths by changing the visibility of nodes and swapping placehoders and content nodes in the subtrees.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) for managing virtual machines (VMs) that are running in one or more hosts provides a search interface that is intuitive and presents search results in a tree structure that lists or marks items that meet user-designated search criteria. User-designated search criteria include favorite VMs, powered-on VMs, VMs running in a specified host, and text-based search criteria. Both VMs that are running locally in a local host and VMs that are running remotely in a remote host are listed so long as they meet the user-designated search criteria and thus can be managed using the GUI.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for reducing stress on a blood vessel are disclosed herein. A damping device configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include an anchoring member coupled to a flexible, compliant damping member including a generally tubular sidewall having an outer surface, an inner surface defining a lumen configured to direct blood flow, a first end portion and a second end portion, and a damping region between the first and second end portions. The inner and outer surfaces of the damping member can be spaced apart by a distance that is greater at the damping region than at either of the first or second end portions. When blood flows through the damping member during systole, the damping member absorbs a portion of the pulsatile energy of the blood, thereby reducing a magnitude of the pulse pressure transmitted to a portion of the blood vessel distal to the damping device.

For example, the analytics workspaces of the analytics platform are illustratively configured to receive data from respective potentially disjoint subsets of the ingestion engines under the control of the ingestion manager. Additionally or alternatively, the ingestion manager may be configured to implement data-as-a-service functionality for one or more of the analytics workspaces of the analytics platform.

Abstract: An assembly management system allows a software service provider (SSP) to compile and upload client-specific client application code into a repository. The SSP deploys a client application comprising non-client-specific code to various clients. When a user logs in, a call is made to a web service, which queries the repository for code specific to the requesting client. If available, the web service sends a response with the name and version of the assembly to which the client is subscribed. If the locally-saved version does not match the version of the assembly in the repository, and if the SSP has permission to write to the client's disk, the web service retrieves the assembly and commits it to the disk. If the SSP does not have permission, the assembly is streamed to the client device and retained and executed in memory for the duration of the login.

Abstract: Tracking the process of a client activity via an electronic system involves the provision of user interfaces by which data are communicated to user. Optimizing the generation of these user interfaces in a cloud-based system reduces processing resources required by the cloud-based portion, improves the user experience on the local portions, and improves the data collected by users. Using, as described herein, historical data known to the cloud-based portion related to both the user and the client, the user interfaces are updated to show progress of the activity and to organize the tasks for the given user in an optimal arrangement. Reports may also be generated regarding the efficacy of the users in shepherding the activity to completion in a more efficient manner. Various user interface elements are integrated into the cloud-based system for quick provision of activity and task statuses to the user.

Abstract: An endoscope captures images of a surgical site for display in a viewing area of a monitor. When a tool is outside the viewing area, a GUI indicates the position of the tool by positioning a symbol in a boundary area around the viewing area so as to indicate the tool position. The distance of the out-of-view tool from the viewing area may be indicated by the size, color, brightness, or blinking or oscillation frequency of the symbol. A distance number may also be displayed on the symbol. The orientation of the shaft or end effector of the tool may be indicated by an orientation indicator superimposed over the symbol, or by the orientation of the symbol itself. When the tool is inside the viewing area, but occluded by an object, the GUI superimposes a ghost tool at its current position and orientation over the occluding object.
