Abstract: A flow control device for a compressible bottle may include a reservoir, the reservoir comprising an ophthalmic formulation disposed therein, the ophthalmic formulation comprising an ophthalmic agent and a preservative; a reservoir interface, disposed at a mouth of the reservoir, the reservoir interface comprising one or more apertures, the one or more apertures in the reservoir interface fluidically connecting an interior of the reservoir and an exterior of the reservoir; a nozzle, the nozzle comprising: an outlet and a nozzle cap, the nozzle cap comprising one or more apertures, the one or more apertures in the nozzle cap fluidically connecting the outlet and a reservoir-facing surface of the nozzle; and an axis of rotation, wherein rotation of the nozzle about the axis of rotation relative to the reservoir aligns the one or more apertures in the reservoir interface with the one or more apertures in the nozzle cap.

Abstract: A method is taught of introducing an alternating voltage between a first electrode and a second electrode in a mixture comprising a depolarizing agent. The method then alternates between forming hydrogen gas at the first electrode while simultaneously oxidizing a depolarizing agent at the second electrode and forming hydrogen gas at the second electrode while simultaneously oxidizing the depolarizing agent at the first electrode.

Abstract: A cable brake system for deployments of cable comprising: a frame configured to be mounted on a ship; a repeater supporting track mounted longitudinally to the frame, the supporting track being configured for slidingly supporting a plurality of repeaters; a spool positioned exterior to the frame, the spool having the cable wrapped therearound and being capable of supplying the cable to an interior of the frame; at least one planar surface on an interior of the frame, the planar surface being positioned approximately parallel to the repeater supporting track; and a plurality of brake sub-assemblies being supported by the planar surface in a manner so as to establish a serpentine path for the cable and to impart variable frictional resistance to the cable.

Abstract: Format processing systems for converting the format of a document are disclosed. In this regard, a representative document processing system includes a file conversion system configured to receive information corresponding to a first document as well as receive information corresponding to a second format to which the information corresponding to the first document is to be converted. Additionally, the file conversion system is configured to retrieve information corresponding to a set of format rules, the set of format rules corresponding to the second format. The file conversion system converts the information corresponding to the first document to image data having at least one object group. Thereafter, the file conversion system converts the image data to converted data representative of the first document and exhibiting the second format. Methods and other systems also are provided.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for dynamically controlling access to configuration attributes for a printing device. The method includes the operation of receiving a request for the printing device's configuration attributes at the printing device. The request is received from a requesting device. Another operation in determining a printing device's configuration attributes involves making a run-time determination of configuration attributes supported by the printing device. Once the configuration attributes supported by the printing device are determined, markup language code associated with these configuration attributes can be identified. Further, the present invention includes the operation of transmitting the markup language code that is associated with the configuration attributes supported by the printing device to the requesting device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing documents stored in a computer system are disclosed herein. The methods and systems comprise selecting a first number of documents to be stacked or unstacked. The selected documents to be stacked or unstacked are converted to a common document format. The selected documents are regrouped into a second number of documents, wherein the second number is different from the first number. Then the second number of documents is renamed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing documents in a software application and for viewing an image of a document are disclosed herein. A method for viewing an image comprises a step of creating reduced-size images, hereinafter referred to as thumbnail images, of documents displayed in a document window. For text documents, the thumbnail images are miniature views of the first page of the text documents. When the thumbnail images have been created, the method further comprises a step of converting the software application from a normal operating mode to a magnifying mode. During the magnifying mode, one of the thumbnail images may be selected and magnified to reveal the contents of the document. The selected thumbnail image may be magnified without opening the document.
