Abstract: Techniques for of providing data from a plurality of data sources are disclosed. A plurality of modules are provided at a common access point. Each module defines data on a respective one of a plurality of data sources, the data including information on data available from the respective data source. In response to a request for data from one of the plurality of data sources at the common access point, data is retrieved from the respective data source using the data on the data source from the respective module. Data is provided from the common access point in dependence on the retrieved data.

Abstract: A method is provided for characterising a gait comprising steps of: receiving a signal measuring the movement of a target subject measured beforehand; comparing (204) at least one section of the measuring signal with a plurality of reference signals, the plurality of reference signals comprising at least one movement signal measured beforehand on a reference subject different from the target subject, each comparison of the measuring signal with a reference signal producing a similarity coefficient representative of a probability of similarity between the compared signals; and selecting (208) at least one local maximum of interest among the similarity coefficients produced, wherein the plurality of reference signals comprises at least one movement signal measured beforehand on a reference subject afflicted with a gait disorder, and at least one movement signal measured beforehand on a healthy reference object.

Abstract: This invention relates to the forward programming of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into megakaryocyte (MK) progenitor cells using the transcription factors GATA1, FLI1 and TAL1. Methods of producing megakaryocyte (MK) progenitor cells and subsequently differentiating them into mature megakaryocytes are provided.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a system and method for supporting RESTful management in an application server environment for operating application software includes an interface configured to receive input for interacting with the application server environment. When a request to manage the application server environment is received, REST resources are dynamically generated using bean trees and other bean information within the application server environment. The REST resources are then usable as input to the interface to manage the application server environment.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to providing notifications via a platform. The examples enable managing, by a physical processor that implements machine readable instructions, a set of security policies for the platform; applying the set of security policies to a set of applications interfaced with the platform for a user of the platform; providing, by the physical processor, a first notification via the platform based on a determination that a first application interfaced with the platform should provide the first notification to a user of the platform; and providing, by the physical processor, a second notification via the platform based on a determination that a second application interfaced with the platform should provide the second notification to the user of the platform.

Abstract: A certificate validation framework allows for the use of plug-ins for a certificate path builder and certificate path validator. Clients can include a web server clients, SSL certificate validation or application code.

Abstract: The invention includes a system and a method for efficiently bounding the life of an event subscription to the availability of an object in a common object server environment. In particular, the invention provides a method for defining a quality of service for a subscription that mandates an automatic cancellation of the subscription when the object subscriber becomes unreachable. In one embodiment this quality of service may be specified as persistent or transient. The administrator can specify administrative limits associated with each or all subscription that determine the frequency with which checks are made. When a subscription with a transient quality of service is created, the event system periodically determines whether the object is reachable or not. If the object is reachable then it does nothing, but if the object is unreachable it may cancel the subscription.
