Abstract: Systems and methods are described that are used to separate cells from a wide variety of tissues. In particular, automated systems and methods are described that separate regenerative cells, e.g., stem and/or progenitor cells, from adipose tissue. The systems and methods described herein provide rapid and reliable methods of separating and concentrating regenerative cells suitable for re-infusion into a subject.

Abstract: A system and method is provided to display a common display page on a variety of display devices using the item's tab order property to determine the display order. Controls that are displayed on a display device typically have a tab order. When a window that has controls is displayed, the cursor is typically placed at the control with the lowest (i.e., first) tab order. When the user presses the tab key, the cursor moves to the control corresponding to the next lowest tab order. This allows the designer to design a single window (or panel) that is displayed differently on constrained devices. However, even though the window is displayed differently, using tab order mapping maintains a consistent visible proximity between controls despite the type of display device being used by the user.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of matching user descriptions of technical problem manifestations with system problem descriptions in which system-level symptoms for computer-related problems which map to problem descriptions and recommended fixes are broken into sub-phrases, and an index of association ratios between the system-level symptom sub-phrases and sub-phrases derived from text extracted from corpora related to computer problem symptoms is generated and prioritized. When user-entered text related to a computer-related problem is received, it is searched against the prioritized index, and matches are presented for the user in order of prioritization from which the user can select and run a recommended fix to which the selection is mapped.

Abstract: Content aggregation is used to build administration consoles. Preferred embodiments enable providing a solution-based approach to information technology (“IT”) administration, whereby content can be flexibly arranged to provide a content view that is adapted for the IT solution deployed in a particular IT environment. In preferred embodiments, portal technology is used for the aggregation framework, and portlets are used for creating content. Alternatively, other approaches such as struts and tiles may be used. Preferred embodiments deploy an administration console as a Web-accessible application, and this console consolidates the administration interfaces for an arbitrary set of management operations, including administration of an arbitrary collection of hardware and/or software resources. Roles/permissions may be used when rendering content for the console, thereby customizing a view to individual end users (or user groups).

Abstract: Content from multiple remote/legacy consoles is aggregated within a central console to provide a single point-of-access for managing remote resources. Preferred embodiments deploy the central console as a network-accessible application, and this console application communicates with remotely-located console applications (and/or other locally-executing functions) that carry out tasks selected from the central console by an administrator and then return content generated by those tasks for rendering in the central console. The run-time environment used at the central console is not required to match the run-time environment of the remote/legacy consoles.

Abstract: A system and method is provided to map alternative short captions that are displayed in a constrained display environment instead of displaying standard captions. When designing a display panel, the designer identifies shorter captions to use in a constrained environment. Shorter captions are helpful in preventing text from wrapping or having to horizontally scroll to in order to read a longer caption. Varying levels of short captions are provided so that a standard size display displays the full caption, a somewhat smaller size display displays smaller captions, while an even smaller display displays even smaller captions. National language support is also provide to translate both full captions as well as the short version(s) of the captions.

Abstract: A network distributable emulated menu. The menu can include one or more composite images, each image including menu text and a graphical icon, the icon denoting a selectable menu; one or more selectable form-based input elements, each element encapsulating one of the composite images; and a graphical image of a menu structure, the graphical image including at least one form-based input element encapsulating a reference to a composite image of menu text and a graphical icon, the icon denoting at least one of a menu action and a selectable menu. Additionally, the emulated menu can include one or more table cells, each cell containing one of the selectable form-based input elements. Finally, the menu structure can include at least one of a textual menu action, a graphically selectable menu action, and a nested menu structure.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) element rendering method. A GUI element rendering method can include serving a Web page to a Web browser. The Web page can include markup which defines a form and the form can include one or more submittable input elements, each submittable input element having a corresponding key-value pair. The key-value pair can include an identifying key and a value, and one or more of the identifying keys can include a shallow form submit key indicating a request for advanced GUI element processing. One or more of the submitted key-value pairs can be received from the Web browser from among which a shallow form submit key can be identified. In consequence, advanced GUI element processing can be performed based upon values which are associated with the identified shallow form submit key.

Abstract: A system and method is provided to selectively exclude elements from a user interface window depending upon the type of device upon which the interface is being displayed. A designer (or a user) decides which elements in a window should be excluded when operating a certain type of device. It is likely that some user interface elements will not be deemed critical enough to provide when the user is using a constrained device, such as mobile telephones and personal digital assistants (PDAs). An element can be an image, an audio file, a table, a column in a table, a page in a property notebook, a wizard (or page in a wizard), or a group of related items. The judgment to exclude an element is based upon the value of the piece of data (element) in comparison to the visual bandwidth (display space) and/or network bandwidth needed to provide the element.

Abstract: A variable content rendering system. The system can include one or more programmatic beans configured to render content in particular ones of the presentation environments; a mapping of selected attributes of a markup language to corresponding ones of the configured beans; and, a servlet configured to receive requests for content from individual content browsers in associated presentation environments. Importantly, the servlet can be further configured to retrieve the requested content, to identify individual markup language attributes in the retrieved content, and, based on the mapping, to select individual ones of the programmatic beans to format the retrieved content for presentation in the associated presentation environments.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for enabling complex table navigation in a highly constrained device. The method can include reducing a complex table defined in markup to a row range view, a set of row views and a set of record views. Individual ones of the record views can be navigably linked to selected ones of the row views, and individual ones of the row views can be further navigably linked to selected row ranges disposed in the row range view. Finally, the row range view can be presented responsive to a request to render the complex table in the highly constrained device.

Abstract: An inline error notification method. An error notification method can include detecting in a form-based submit, at least one validation error based upon a value provided through an input-element in a markup specified form. Upon detecting a validation error, a row can be inserted in the markup specified form in a position which is proximate to the input-element. In particular, the row can be assigned a background color which differs from other colors which are visible in proximity to the inserted row. Error text can be selected which corresponds to the validation error. Subsequently, the selected error text can be inserted in the row. An anchor tag can be further inserted in the markup specified form in a position which is proximate to the input-element. Finally, the markup specified form can be served in a response to the form-based submit, the response referencing the anchor tag.
