摘要： A system and method for improving document layout on arbitrary devices of different resolutions and size using manifold representations of content. Manifold representations of content are: multiple versions of anything that might appear in a document, from text, to images, to even such things as stylistic conventions. The specific content is selected and formatted dynamically, on the fly, by a layout engine in order to best adapt to a given viewing situation. A user interface for authoring and editing such manifold content is disclosed.

摘要： Systems and methods comprising a general purpose framework to facilitate automated layout are provided. Such systems and methods can be utilized to automatically generate visual content over a wide range of domains. One example of a framework comprises a set of general purpose layout components adjustable to a plurality of domains. The general purpose layout components facilitate the automated arrangement of visual elements according to a plurality of style rules. One example of a method performed utilizing one or more elements of a general purpose adaptable layout framework comprises quantifying at least one aesthetic quality of a depiction in relation to one or more non-mandatory objectives to produce a quantified aesthetic quality, and automatically optimizing the quantified aesthetic quality to produce an enhanced depiction.

摘要： A system and methods for facilitating adaptive grid-based document layout. More particularly, the present invention features a new approach to adaptive grid-based document layout that utilizes a set of adaptive templates that are configurable in a range of different pages sizes and viewing conditions. The templates include various element types and constraint-based relationships that define the layout of elements with reference to viewing conditions under which the document content will be displayed and that define other content properties. Through a layout engine and paginator, the present invention determines a desirable sequence of templates to use for adapting document content. Additionally, the present invention provides a template authoring tool and user interface for interactively drawing and arranging layout elements within an adaptive template.

摘要： A brachytherapy needle comprises a hollow cannula defining a lumen through which radioactive seeds are delivered. A push stylet is telescopically received within the hollow cannula for advancing the radioactive seeds through the lumen of the cannula. The hollow cannula has a window formed in a side wall through which at least a portion of the lumen can be visualized. In the preferred embodiment the window comprises a slot formed in the side wall of the cannula through which radioactive seeds and intervening spacers can be viewed. Also in the preferred embodiment, a transparent covering, advantageously a sleeve of transparent, heat-shrinkable plastic, is disposed over the slot to prevent tissue from lapsing into the slot during implantation of the seeds.
