Abstract: An upgrade of an application product is installed to a first location in a shared environment that is different than a second location in the shared environment. An indication of the newer version of the application product and an indication of the first location are recorded in a registry that comprises indications of a plurality of application products and locations corresponding thereto. Metadata and binding information are obtained from an instance of the previous version of the application product while the instance of the previous version of the application product continues running. The metadata and the binding information are instantiated for an instance of the newer version of the application product in execution space thereof. Work is diverted work from the instance of the previous version of the application product to the instance of the newer version of the application product while both instances continue running in the shared environment.

Abstract: The system and method of the present invention comprises functionality to record the steps of a user's navigation transaction and to subsequently play back those steps to determine service availability and levels. The present invention comprises a method for recording a user's steps in a navigation transaction by retrieving an information resource and calculating service level thresholds and the time required to retrieve the information resource. The service level thresholds and parameters regarding the information resource is recorded in a transaction data file as a step comprising the navigation transaction. The present invention also comprises a method for playing back one or more steps executed by a user as part of a navigation transaction, the navigation transaction stored in a transaction data file.

Abstract: Set of ancillary equipment for the implantation of acetabular cups (1) of hip prostheses, of the type having a substantially hemispherical corolla, consisting of expandable petals (2) which are provided with external barbs (5). The set comprises an obturator (7) for closing the petals, under elastic radial stress, in a position in which they are drawn together, elements (8, 9) for holding this obturator on the edges of the petals by connection with the bottom of the acetabular cup, an ancillary impaction device with which it is possible to impact the acetabular cup, freeing its petals by extraction of the obturator.
