Abstract: A JIT compiler is debugged by comparing the native code it generates with the native code generated from a reliable JIT compiler. The different compilations are performed using the same input data. The input data is recorded by intercepting the communication exchanges between a runtime environment and the reliable JIT compiler during the compilation of a program. The input data of each communication is stored using a key based on at least one parameter in an API call from a JIT compiler to the runtime environment. A debugging tool is then used to initiate the compilation of a method using a JIT compiler under test using the previously recorded input data.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are disclosed for the treatment of osteoarthritis. The compositions comprising combinations of hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, and chondroitin sulfate, can be useful for any synovial joint, including the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, hands, spinal facet, or temporomandibular joint, both for the relief of pain and for slowing disease progression.

Abstract: The present invention includes methods for the inhibition of post-operative adhesion formation between tissue surfaces in a body cavity having been subjected to a surgical procedure, which methods involve administering Tranilast, or an analog thereof, directly to tissue surfaces in the body cavity in amounts and under conditions effective to inhibit formation of adhesions, and to delivery vehicles and compositions suitable for use for local, non-systemic administration of a drug to the body and directly to tissue within a body cavity having been subjected to a surgical procedure.

Abstract: Intra-articular formulations and methods are provided for treating joint conditions, such as osteoarthritis. The formulations include an effective amount of recombinant human growth differentiation factor-5 (rhGDF-5) and an acidic vehicle, where the formulation is an intra-articular injection formulation. The formulations described herein can be used for treating joint conditions (e.g., osteoarthritis) via intra-articular injection in a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: The reconstruction of garbage collection information corresponding to an application. Upon accessing a portion of compiler generated application code, a computing system generates computational results that identifies one or more program state storage locations that track live references or memory pointers that can be displaced during garbage collection. This may be performed for multiple application code portions (such as methods or functions of an application), and may be performed just before garbage collection. To generate the computational results, the application code portion may first be subjected to a liveness analysis to generate liveness analysis results in the form of one or more live program state storage locations in the application code portion. The computational results may then be generated using the liveness analysis results and type information from a type service to provide the set of storage locations referencing live memory objects.

Abstract: The present invention includes methods for the inhibition of post-operative adhesion formation between tissue surfaces in a body cavity having been subjected to a surgical procedure, which methods involve administering Pemirolast, or an analog thereof, directly to tissue surfaces in the body cavity in amounts and under conditions effective to inhibit formation of adhesions, and to delivery vehicles and compositions suitable for use for local, non-systemic administration of a drug to the body and directly to tissue within a body cavity having been subjected to a surgical procedure.

Abstract: An easily operated castrating tool that allows placement of a continuous elastic band for ligation and removal of an appendage. The instant invention is also an improved adjustable spreading tool that allows for quick and easy placement of the improved elastic band about a body part to be ligated.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media to test user interfaces (UIs) in multiple execution environments are disclosed. A particular method includes selecting one or more UI tests and one or more execution environments in which to run the UI tests. One of the execution environments is designated as a driver execution environment. A driver UI corresponding to the driver execution environment is displayed. When a UI action is received at the driver UI, a data representation of the UI action is transmitted from the driver execution environment to each of the other execution environments. The UI action is substantially concurrently repeated at each of the other execution environments.

Abstract: Code morphing includes rewriting at least one underlying control structure of known code without affecting an intended context of the code.

Abstract: A livestock nursing nipple provides a base portion defining a reservoir neck orifice and having a generally triangular reservoir neck engaging lip, an annular accordion joint structurally interconnects the base portion with an axially extending elongated nipple to absorb deflection forces and deformation forces exerted on the nipple during use, the nipple defining a fluid channel between the base portion and a terminal end defining a fluid outlet.

Abstract: The present invention includes methods for the inhibition of post-operative adhesion formation between tissue surfaces in a body cavity having been subjected to a surgical procedure, which methods involve administering a histamine H4 receptor antagonist, systemically, directly to tissue surfaces in the body cavity, or both, and to delivery vehicles and compositions suitable for use for local, non-systemic administration of a drug to the body and directly to tissue within a body cavity having been subjected to a surgical procedure.

Abstract: The exposure and usage of one or more particular physical and logical resources by methods within an isolation boundary may be annotated so as to preempt resource usage conflicts. Further described are tools, contracts, and collaborative processes for at least identifying potential resource usage conflicts. More particularly, the example tools, contracts, and collaborative processes may be used to annotate at least one of exposure and consumption of one or more particular physical and logical resources by methods within an isolation boundary.
