Abstract: Techniques for verifying whether an incremental update was correctly applied to a set of hierarchically structured information include determining an overall integrity code for the hierarchically structured information and attaching the overall integrity code to the hierarchically structured information. An incremental update according to the present techniques includes an integrity code that is combined into the overall integrity code attached to the hierarchically structured information when the incremental update is applied to the hierarchically structured information. The integrity code of the incremental update is generated such that when the overall integrity code is recomputed it will match the overall integrity code attached to the hierarchically structured information if the incremental update was correctly applied.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamically developing a user interface in an existing software application includes invoking a user interface developer component during the execution of the software application, identifying one or more fields to include in the user interface, and associating a field type for each of the identified one or more fields. The identified one or more fields and associated field types are saved in a user interface definition file. The user interface is generated based on the user interface definition file during the execution of the software application.

Abstract: A spermicidally active, lubricated prophylactic and method for making same is disclosed. The prophylactic is formed by dip-coating and unrolling the prophylactic and a specific lubricant, polyethylene glycol, and a spermicide are dispensed into the rolled prophylactic, the lubricant causing migration of the spermicide throughout the rolled device.
