Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention provide a novel way of searching and interacting with content available via a network, such as the Internet, and the World Wide Web. In some embodiments, systems and methods provide a semantically-oriented structure for organizing and accessing content items. The semantic organization can be derived by leveraging user interactions with the content items. The systems and methods leverage the semantics of the content items to help the user find content items that are consistent with the purpose of the user's search. In addition, the embodiments provide a novel navigation paradigm of search results and content items so that the user can more intuitively and more efficiently get information form an information space.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions comprising methylnaltrexone or a salt thereof, and compositions and formulations thereof, for oral administration.

In some embodiments, systems and methods provide a semantically-oriented structure for organizing and accessing content items. The semantic organization can be derived by leveraging user interactions with the content items and publisher declarations about the content items. The systems and methods leverage the semantics of the content items to help the user find content items that are consistent with the purpose of the user's search. In addition, the embodiments provide a novel navigation paradigm of search results and content items so that the user can more intuitively and more efficiently get information form an information space.

Abstract: A system and method for managing captured network traffic data is provided. The invention comprises a plurality of capture agents, each being configured to capture the network traffic associated with one or more applications. Each application is associated with one or more capture agents according to an application profile that is stored and maintained in a capture server. When analysis of an application's network traffic is required, the capture server contacts the corresponding capture agents according to the application profile. The capture server then effects the identification and archiving of the network traffic that corresponds to a user-defined capture condition. A database at the capture server maintains a record that associates the corresponding network traffic with the user-defined capture condition such that the corresponding network traffic can later be retrieved and analyzed using an analysis engine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a direct contact racquet or “DCR.” In order to enhance the feel experienced by the player, the DCR is designed to maximize the contact between the player's hand and the ball, while still making use of a string-bed or other form of contact to provide a strike surface for the ball. In particular, a gripping surface for a player's hand is provided behind the string bed. The gripping surface may be shaped in various ways so that a player can comfortably grip it. In addition, the gripping surface may provide a clearance from the string bed when striking a ball. Therefore, the DCR places a user's hand directly behind the string bed surface used to strike the ball.

Abstract: A pipe includes a base body (8) of metal, defining an outer surface (10) of the base body and an inner surface (12) of the base body, and an inner coating (14) which is applied to the inner surface (12) of the base body. The inner coating (14) includes a thermoplastic material or a polyamide. The pipe may be used in the transport of drinking water.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lock assembly which includes a lock body. The lock body is adapted to receive a lock barrel. The lock barrel has a plurality of passages. Each of the passages is in communication at one end with the lock body and open at the other end. The lock assembly also includes at least one wafer and a lower pin part. The wafer is received in one of the passages. The lower pin part is received in at least one of the remainder of the passages. The wafer has a column. One end of the column is adapted to include a key engaging surface whilst the other end is adapted to rest on a wall of the lock body. The lock barrel has a key slot which is in communication with the passages. The key slot is adapted to receive a key with a low cut adapted to correspond to the key engaging surface. The column is so configured as to provide a gap between the key engaging surface and the low cut when the key is a bump key.

Abstract: A data collecting and processing system captures the actions of sales personnel and presents performance metrics in accordance with specific corporate-wide assessment criteria. By using a system that standardizes the data collected, the performance metrics, and the assessment criteria, corporations can establish performance standards and goals beyond the traditional revenue v. cost of sales criteria. Because the performance standards and goals may be defined and presented based on the standardized assessment criteria, each salesperson's behavior can be attuned to achieve the established goals. As the system continues to be used, the assessment criteria may be fine tuned as particular metrics prove to be particularly relevant to generating revenue or developing future sales. Trend analysis and other tools may also be used to develop correlations between the actions of sales personnel and the likelihood of future success.

Abstract: An aminocarboxylic acid chelating agent, preferably EDTA, or a salt thereof has been found to be useful for inhibiting particulate formation in piperacillin/tazobactam parenteral combinations. The composition may also contain a buffer, preferably citrate, and optionally an aminoglycoside. The product may be in the form of a frozen composition that can be thawed for use. The product may also be in the form of a cryodesiccated powder that can be reconstituted by addition of an aqueous vehicle to reform a solution.

Abstract: An implantable catheter or shunt for draining fluid from a body cavity. The catheter or shunt body has a wall structure that carries one or more therapeutic agents in a manner enabling release of the therapeutic agent from the wall structure in situ after surgical implantation of the catheter or shunt body. The therapeutic agent can be gradually released over time to prevent infection, inhibit tissue ingrowths, and/or provide some other desired medicinal purpose. As an example, the therapeutic agent can be rapamycin or an mTOR inhibitor. According to some contemplated embodiments of the present invention, the therapeutic agent carried by the catheter/shunt is rechargeable or refillable in situ so that the therapeutic agent can be gradually released from the catheter/shunt over the expected useful life of the catheter/shunt.
