Abstract: Automatically generating a glossary of terms for a given document or group of documents is provided. A single document or a group of documents associated with a given project or event are parsed for one or more unique terms (e.g., words, acronyms, phrases, etc.). Identified terms are passed to a local or external definition source, and definitions for the one or more identified terms are retrieved. Retrieved definitions are presented to a user of the documents, and approved definitions are stored in a project store for subsequent use in association with the documents.

Abstract: A method for treating a subject includes positioning an intraluminal device at a treatment location in an airway of the subject, and delivering energy from an electrode of the intraluminal device to nerve tissue extending along the airway so as to permanently damage the nerve tissue while cooling airway tissue disposed radially between the electrode and the nerve tissue.

Abstract: A method of treating an airway includes inserting a treatment device into the airway, wherein the treatment device includes an energy delivery element configured to deliver energy to tissue of the airway, advancing the treatment device to a treatment location in the airway, activating the energy delivery element to deliver energy to tissue at the treatment location, and cooling tissue near the treatment location simultaneously with the activating step.

Abstract: A method for augmenting a threaded conversation between a first device and a second device. The method includes: receiving a selection of a selectable animation, via a selection of a selectable animation representation, at the first device, wherein the selectable animation is configured for augmenting the threaded conversation; and incorporating the selection of the selectable animation into the threaded conversation such that the selectable animation appears in a conversation view of the first device and the second device.

Abstract: This relates to methods and devices for achieving contact between the wall of a cavity or passageway and a medical device when used in tortuous anatomy.

Abstract: Automatically classifying content into a given project workspace is provided. New electronic mail items, documents, meeting requests, tasks, calendar items, and the like are automatically classified into a project workspace. Thus, a user is not required to engage in a time-consuming task of identifying, collecting, and associating such content with a given project workspace. In addition, feedback may be provided to the user on the quality of automatic assignments of content items to the desired workspace for editing content associated with the desired workspace and for improving the automatic classification process.

Abstract: Tubing made of two or more polymers circumferentially arranged around the perimeter of the tubing in a single layer may be useful as medical tubing. Specifically, such tubing may be useful in catheters, sheaths, sheath introducers, implant delivery systems, and other medical devices having elongated tubular components. Selection of the two or more polymers based on the durometer and melting temperature permits optimization of axial strength and flexibility for particular applications. Such tubing may be extruded as a single layer tubing or a multi-layer tubing where the additional layers may be single material layers or more multi-polymer layers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering energy to passageways in a patient, such as airways in the lung of a patient for treating asthma. One embodiment of a method for delivering energy to a passageway comprises positioning an access device in a lung airway of a patient and advancing an elongated body of a treatment device along the access device until an energy delivery unit at a distal portion of the elongated body projects from the access device. The method can further include expanding the energy delivery unit such that energy delivery elements contact a sidewall of the airway and activating an energy supply coupled to the treatment device such that energy is delivered to the sidewall of the airway. A single person physically operates both the access device and the treatment device while expanding the energy delivery unit and activating the energy supply.

Abstract: A space in which a user may organize data and collaborate with other users is provided. Project data and metadata may be saved into a reusable template and stored in a repository, wherein other users may discover and download the template for use as a resource for a related project type. A template may contain various document types that may expose a breadth of applications and application functionalities that may be utilized for a given task or project. Questions and answers, task templates, and terminology may also be provided. Project templates may allow for collaboration on projects, wherein business and/or social groups may collaborate quickly, easily, and more completely.

Abstract: An automatic discovery of content to add to a data store for a project is disclosed. A data item may be parsed for data features that are contextually relevant to a given project or task. Discovered interesting data may be extracted and mapped to various search mechanisms. A search may be built and applied to various data sources to discover data items based on the contextually relevant data features. Search results from various search mechanisms may be displayed in a single user interface and may be presented to a user.

Abstract: An analysis module, when triggered by a synchronization framework when a new data item is added to a project data store, runs a series of analysis feature extractors on the new content. An analysis may be conducted, and features of interest may be extracted from the data item. The analysis utilizes natural language processing, as well as other technologies, to provide an automatic or semi-automatic extraction of information. The extracted features of interest are saved as metadata within the project data store, and are associated with the data item from which it was extracted. The analysis module may be utilized to discover additional information that may be gleaned from content that is already in the project data store.

Abstract: Project-related data may be aggregated from various data sources, given context, and may be stored in a data repository or organizational knowledge base that may be available to and accessed by others. Documents, emails, contact information, calendar data, social networking data, and any other content that is related to a project may be brought together within a single user interface, irrespective of its data type. A user may organize and understand content, discover relevant information, and act on it without regard to where the information resides or how it was created.
