A scalable graphical user interface architecture for scaling a device platform independent application graphical user interface to the display screen of any of a plurality of heterogeneous device platforms is disclosed. The scalable graphical user interface architecture comprises a scalable graphical user interface library module, a customizing module and a render manager module. The device platform independent application graphical user interface is operable to initiate the creation of an instance of an intermediate representation of the application graphical user interface. The scalable graphical user interface library module is utilized by the device platform independent application graphical user interface during creation of the instance of the intermediate representation. The customizing module is operable to customize the intermediate representation as a function of one of the heterogeneous device platforms. The render manager module is operable to traverse the intermediate representation to produce a device platform dependent application graphical user interface on a display screen of said one of the heterogeneous device platforms.

A method and apparatus for knee replacement surgery wherein a femoral provisional component is provided which corresponds to a permanent component to be implanted in a human and which includes means for establishing the correct fit and position of such a component, prior to its implantation, in relation to the soft tissues of the knee before final resection of the anterior femoral surface. The provisional component further includes cutting guide means for such anterior surface resection such that accurate cuts may be made with the provisional component in place. The method involves preparing the distal femoral surface using the femoral intramedullary canal as a constant reference point for posterior and distal cutting guides followed by locating the provisional component by means of a provisional intramedullary stem so that the relationship with the soft tissues of the knee may be accurately established.

A method and system for acquiring, processing, storing, and displaying x-ray mammograms Mp tomosynthesis images Tr representative of breast slices, and x-ray tomosynthesis projection images Tp taken at different angles to a breast, where the Tr images are reconstructed from Tp images

A method, system and apparatus for selecting, displaying, managing, tracking and transferring access to content of Internet web pages and other sources has programming permitting a user to create custom selections of selected image, animation, movie and text content items, and other types of content items from web pages or other sources from the same or different network sources containing multiple content items in an independent, resizable, rescalable browser window; permitting the user to transfer access to the custom selection of content items to a recipient; permitting the user or recipient to navigate quickly to a source of a content item in the custom selection; and permitting the user to define search keywords for performing searches related to content items in a custom selection; and other features. A method of tracking viewing and sharing activities of content items and custom selections of content items by users and recipients is also disclosed.

Projection lenses for use with pixelized panels (PP) are provided. The projection lenses have a negative first unit (U1) separated from a positive second unit (U2) by a reflective surface (RS) which folds the lens' optical axis. The lenses are telecentric on the short conjugate side, have a large field of view in the direction of the long conjugate, and have low aberration levels, including, in particular, low levels of lateral color.

The invention discloses a preparation method of a silicon and carbon-coated graphene composite cathode material. The technical problem to be solved is to enhance the electronic conductivity of the silicon-based cathode material, buffer the volume effect produced in the process of deintercalation of the lithium in the silicon-based cathode material and enhance the structure stability in the circulation process of the material at the same time. The material is prepared by using a spray drying-thermally decomposing treatment process in the invention. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: evenly dispersing nano silicon and graphite micro powder in a dispersion solution of oxidized graphene, carrying out thermal treatment under an inert protection atmosphere after spray drying, subsequently cooling along a furnace to obtain the silicon and carbon-coated graphene composite cathode material. The extra binder does not need to add in the process of manufacturing balls in the invention and the outer oxidized graphene is thermally reduced in situ to graphene in the thermal treatment process of the composite precursor, so that the process is simple and easy to operate; and the practical degree is high. The prepared composite material has the advantages of great reversible capacity, designable capacity, good cycling performance and high-current discharging performance, high tap density and the like.

An interlocking, modular floor tile that comprises a planar member defined by a perimeter having four sides and a top surface, a plurality of downwardly projecting support legs of common length dispersed pattern-wise inside the perimeter of the planar member and coupled with the top surface, and at least one female interlocking connector element that extends outside the perimeter of the planar member for receiving a support leg of a like tile and thereby forming an interlock with the like tile.

A hemostatic compression system facilitates patent hemostasis of an arterial access site on the arm of a wearer. The system includes a radial compression band and a Doppler probe. The radial compression band includes an elongated arm band sized to receive the arm. The compression band also includes a pressure surface coupled to the arm band and facing radially inward for compressive engagement with the access site. The Doppler probe is coupled to the arm band adjacent the pressure surface and is configured to sense blood flow through the artery. Hemostatic compression applied by the radial compression band is variable in response to the sensed blood flow so as to ensure patency of the artery during hemostasis of the site.
