  • Publication number: 20100251211
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to generating and using code-based diagrams. In aspects, analysis components analyze computer code to determine entities and interactions between the entities of the computer code. The entities and interactions or a subset thereof are displayed as a diagram. By interacting with a user interface, a user may instruct a tool to combine entities together and hide interactions between the entities, expand collapsed entities, zoom in on entities that contain other entities, zoom out on entities contained within other entities, move entities and interactions to other diagrams, navigate between diagrams, or perform other actions to generate or use diagrams related to computer code.

  • Publication number: 20100030162
    Abstract: A stretchable-diameter inserter, for hemodynamic studies and related operations, is characterized in that it comprises an inserter tube, a hemostatic valve designed for preventing blood from exiting the patient toward the operator, a side line including a faucet, adapted to be used for performing blood taking and infusion operations and two dilatators: a first dilatator having a smaller cross-section and a second dilatator having a larger cross-section.

  • Publication number: 20090327935
    Abstract: A creation, editing, and display tool for complex diagrams may enable portions of the diagram to be updated without having to update the entire diagram. The tool may use a set of rules that define the positioning and layout of various elements and relationships between elements in the diagram. The update mechanism may enable the rules to be applied to a subset of the diagram and may not update some portions of the diagram, such as those elements outside the viewing area. In some embodiments, a background or low priority process may apply the rules to those portions not updated. The tool may be used for various diagrams, including sequence diagrams and other complex, highly restrained diagram types.

  • Patent number: 7624403
    Abstract: A system and method facilitating diagramming is provided. The diagram system includes a diagram that stores shape element(s) and an application program interface (API) that includes a control that facilitates access to the diagram. The control maintains state information associated with the diagram. For example, application(s) can employ the API to access and/or modify the diagram. The system employs a rich framework to support both document and diagram state. Because the same framework is used to manipulate the state in a consistent way, it becomes much easier to keep the diagram synchronized with the underlying data than with conventional system(s).

  • Patent number: 7120914
    Abstract: A navigation tool permits access between separate program modules by communicating state information between each program. By communicating state information between separate program modules, it is possible for a user to access previous screens of data, irrespective of the program module which generated the display, or to advance to previous screens of data if the user has already accessed a previous display. In other words, interactions between separate program modules become seamless in presentation to the user, analogous to how information can be displayed with a internet browser or as if separate program modules were operating under a common shell.

  • Patent number: 7025751
    Abstract: A two-lumen catheter for distal protection in percutaneous coronary and peripherical intervention comprises a tubular body defining a first lumen for allowing a guide wire to pass therethrough and a second lumen for connection to a sucking assembly, and being characterized in that said catheter further comprises an end portion defining tapering portion between the tubular body and the catheter tip, in said tapering portion being provided at least a hole communicating with the second lumen.

  • Patent number: 5829371
    Abstract: A buttonhole or eyelet sewing machine includes a housing. A machine head is slidably mounted on the housing and moves between a home position and a sew position. A bed plate is slidably mounted on the housing. A needle mechanism is mounted on the machine head and is movable in a reciprocal manner with respect to the housing. A first motor is mounted on the housing. The first motor directly drives the machine head between the home position and the sew position. A second motor is mounted on the housing. The second motor directly drives the needle mechanism. The second motor directly drives the bed plate to permit stitching about a buttonhole or eyelet.
