Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed for selecting links in a page using an enhanced mouse pointer. The page is displayed in a data processing system that includes a mouse that includes a scroll wheel. Multiple links are included in the page. A standard mouse pointer is displayed in the page. An enhanced mouse pointer state is then invoked causing the standard mouse pointer to become an enhanced mouse pointer. In response to invoking the enhanced mouse pointer state, a closest one of the links in the page to the enhanced standard mouse pointer is determined. An enhanced mouse pointer indicator is displayed that extends from the enhanced mouse pointer to the determined closest one of the links. The links may be scrolled through by rotating the scroll wheel.

A controller is also provided for controlling the gas-delivery system, the pressure-control system, and the high-density-plasma generating system.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer instructions for updating a document. A selected user input to a portlet window in a set of portlet windows is detected, wherein current content is displayed in the portlet window. In response to detecting the selected user input, new content for the portlet window is requested from a server. A new content for the portlet window from the server is received. In response to receiving the new content for the portlet window, the current content with the new content without interrupting other portlet windows in the set is replaced.

Abstract: Enabling users to select a subset of elements represented by a rendered topology view, and in response, a new view comprising the selected elements is automatically created. Preferred embodiments render this subset view, referred to herein as a “tear-away view”, alongside the topology view from which the elements were selected, thereby enabling the user to focus on the selected elements in context of the bigger picture. An active correlation is preferably maintained between the views, such that various updates to one view are also reflected in the other view. Preferred embodiments automatically create a new data model underlying the tear-away view, and in one aspect, this data model and/or tear-away view may be persisted.

Abstract: A new or existing portlet queries the category attribute of other portlets on a portal page. The new or existing portlet may take a position adjacent to other portlets having the same category attribute. The new or existing portlet may adjust its size or one or more of the other portlets may adjust their size so that the portlets are aligned with one another.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for controlling where dynamically-added content will be positioned within the layout of a content aggregation view (e.g., for controlling where content that is created by a portlet will be rendered within a portal page). In preferred embodiments, weighting values are assigned to the content, and these values are used to determine the content's relative placement. The values may be assigned at development time, at deployment time, and/or at run time. Using disclosed techniques, content placement is more predictable and consistent, and related content can be grouped together when rendered even though that content is not simultaneously rendered.

Abstract: A portal may include at least one detachable portlet and a detach feature included in the at least one detachable portlet. In another embodiment, a method to detach and reattach at least one portlet to a portal may include detaching a selected portlet in response to activating a detach feature. The method may also include reattaching the detached portlet in response to activating a reattach feature. The selected, detached portlet may be transferred to a window in response to activating the detach feature.

Abstract: Devices and methods for cooling microwave antennas are disclosed herein. The cooling systems can be used with various types of microwave antennas. One variation generally comprises a handle portion with an elongate outer jacket extending from the handle portion. A microwave antenna is positioned within the handle and outer jacket such that cooling fluid pumped into the handle comes into contact directly along a portion of the length, or a majority of the length, or the entire length of the antenna to allow for direct convective cooling. Other variations include cooling sheaths which form defined cooling channels around a portion of the antenna. Yet another variation includes passively-cooled systems which utilize expandable balloons to urge tissue away from the surface of the microwave antenna as well as cooling sheaths which are cooled through endothermic chemical reactions. Furthermore, the microwave antennas themselves can have cooling lumens integrated directly therethrough.

Abstract: Various high-strength microwave antenna assemblies are described herein. The microwave antenna has a radiating portion connected by a feedline to a power generating source, e.g., a generator. The antenna is a dipole antenna with the distal end of the radiating portion being tapered and terminating at a tip to allow for direct insertion into tissue. Antenna rigidity comes from placing distal and proximal radiating portions in a pre-stressed state, assembling them via threaded or overlapping joints, or fixedly attaching an inner conductor to the distal portion. The inner conductor is affixed to the distal portion by, e.g., welding, brazing, soldering, or by adhesives. A junction member made from a hard dielectric material, e.g., ceramic, can be placed between the two portions and can have uniform or non-uniform shapes to accommodate varying antenna designs. Electrical chokes may also be used to contain returning currents to the distal end of the antenna.

Abstract: A portion of a table is displayed in a window having a viewable area. For at least one row, information from one or more columns outside the viewable area of the window is displayed in a hovering row, which may be displayed below the associated row. Column headers may be displayed with the hovering row. The hovering row is dynamically displayed or not displayed in response to user input, such as moving a cursor over an icon associated with the row. Static display of the hovering row is toggled in response to user input, such as (de)selecting a toggle button icon associated with the row. The hovering row is not displayed if all information in columns outside the viewable window area cannot be displayed.

Abstract: This invention is an improved tissue-localizing device with an electrically energized locator element for fixedly yet removably marking a volume of tissue containing a suspect region for excision. The electrical energizing of the locator element facilitates the penetration of the locator element in to subject's tissue and minimizes resistance due to dense or calcified tissues. At least one locator element is deployed into tissue and assumes a predetermined curvilinear shape to define a tissue border containing a suspect tissue region along a path. Multiple locator elements may be deployed to further define the tissue volume along additional paths defining the tissue volume border that do not penetrate the volume. Delivery of electric current may be achieved through monopolar or bipolar electronic configuration depending on design needs. Various energy sources, e.g. radio frequency, microwave or ultrasound, may be implemented in this energized tissue-localizing device.
