Abstract: The present invention is directed to improved systems, devices, and methods for delivery of a cryogen to the skin of a patient for skin treatment. A cryospray device configured to deliver a cryogen to a patient's skin can include an applicator, a supply channel, and a nozzle assembly. The applicator can include a head portion, and the supply channel can extend through at least a portion of the head portion. The nozzle assembly can be coupled to the head portion and can be fluidly coupled to the supply channel. The nozzle assembly can include a linear array of orifices that are configured to direct a planar spray of the cryogen to cool an area of a skin tissue of the patient in a linear cooling treatment.

Abstract: Methods and systems for multi-document aggregation provide data representing a redundancy graph constructed from a document or document set and determine the longest acyclic path in the document redundancy graph. Nodes of the longest path are assigned to a column to be displayed. Each node is assigned to a corresponding position in the column according to the node position in the path. Methods and systems for ordering multi documents for presentation can determine the content of a node of the redundancy graph and order the content for display.

Abstract: A clip for mounting a fluid delivery device adjacent a wall of an enclosure is disclosed. In one embodiment, the device includes a base, a hook configured to support the base adjacent the wall, means for attaching a fluid delivery device to the base, and means for rotating the base. Additionally, a method for attaching a clip for mounting a fluid delivery device adjacent a toilet bowl is disclosed. The method includes securing a hook to a rim, engaging a tab of a base to an underside of the rim at an interface, and rotating the base in response to the interface to substantially engage the tab of the base with the underside of the rim.

Abstract: A system includes a multifunction peripheral device. The multifunction peripheral device provides scanning, printing, copying, and faxing functionality. A wide area network is communicatively connected to the multifunction peripheral device and a remote device. A local area network is communicatively connected to the multifunction peripheral device and a plurality of local workstations. The multifunction peripheral device provides an interface between the wide area network and the local area network.

Abstract: A system for enabling depth perception of image content in a rendered composite image, wherein illuminant/colorant depth discrimination encoding provides encoding of first and second source images in a composite image, for the purposes of subsequent illuminant/colorant depth discrimination decoding. Composite image rendering allows for rendering the composite image in a physical form. Illuminant/colorant depth discrimination decoding allows recovery of the first and second source images, thus offering to an observer the perception of spatial disparity between at least one of the recovered source images and some or all of the remaining image content perceived in the rendered composite image.

Abstract: A document layout is adjusted to alter the quality of the document by generating an initial document with a plurality of blocks. A user can manually adjust the parameters of the document. Thereafter, a base quantized quality score is generated for the document based upon the manually changed parameters of the document. The parameters of the document are changed and a first quantized quality score for the document is generated. The first quantized quality score is compared with the base quantized quality score. If the first quantized quality score is closer to a preferred quantized quality score than the bench quantized quality score, the base quantized quality score is changed to equal the first quantized quality score and the parameters of the document to equal the changes. The changed document may be displayed after each comparison so that the user can accept the changed document.

Abstract: A document history device is communicatively connected with a document repository, a viewing station, a scanning station, a printing station, or a distribution device, each including a document history agent. The document history agent conveys information associated with a particular document so that the document history device can create a comprehensive history for the document wherein the history can provide information relating to how many document instances have been generated, how many document instances are currently active, who currently has access to the document instances, what would need to be done to completely destroy the document and all document instances, how recently has the document been accessed and by whom, who is a frequent source of information, which documents are most useful, what is the typical document lifetime, and/or what classes of documents does a particular user or class of users view.

Abstract: The optimal version of a document can depend on the user's need and the presentation device, and can govern choices of content as well as style. The content needed for multiple versions of a document can be included in a single document structure and identified by means of tags or by a content selection node. Tags allow the user to specify a desired version, while selection nodes allow the content to be automatically selected, styled and formatted to optimize a set of constraints. Content alternatives may be generated automatically from original content.

Abstract: Text, images, and/or graphics of electronic documents should be organized and laid out in a two-dimensional format for presentation to the viewer. The best such layout depends upon the content present, the creator's intent, the output device, and the viewer's interests. To analyze the qualitative nature of the layout in quantifiable terms, the electronic document is measure using various quantifiable factors; such as, balance, uniformity, white space management, alignment, consistency, legibility, etc.; that impact a qualitative nature of a document. Such quantifiable factors are then used to quantize the aesthetics, ease of use, eye-catching ability, interest, communicability, comfort, and convenience of the document.

Abstract: A method and system for generating a monotonic classifier are disclosed. A plurality of feature vectors may be mapped to a plurality of ordered classes. Each feature vector may map to a corresponding class. For each class other than the lowest-ordered class, a binary classifier may be trained to distinguish between the class and a directly preceding class in the order. The binary classifiers may be ordered based on the class corresponding to each classifier. The binary classifiers may be ordered in the form of a decision tree, which may be either balanced or unbalanced. A new feature vector pertaining to an individual may then be classified using the binary classifiers.
