Abstract:
A system for receiving oral human discharge which includes a pail, container, or like receptacle having an open space for the receipt of such discharge, e.g. vomit, phlegm, etc. The receptacle is configured to be positioned within an opening in the upper section of a stand. An intermediate section extends between the upper section and a lower section. The lower section is designed to be removeably inserted between the mattress and frame platform or box spring of a bed or the cushions of a couch. The stand and, hence, the receptacle are thus positioned directly adjacent to the sick child, providing ready access for immediate use. Two receptacles are provided in stocked relation, so that when one is being cleaned, the other remains within the opening in the stand, ready for use.
Abstract:
Various embodiments related to an application programming interface for user interface creation are disclosed herein. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides an application programming interface, embodied on one or more data-holding subsystems, comprising user interface creation services for intermediately defining a user interface including one or more user interface elements as declarative extensible markup language data. The application programming interface further comprises compiler services for providing aspects of the declarative extensible markup language data to one or more compilers for compilation into two or more different machine code implementations, where each machine code implementation is natively executable without a virtual machine by a different hardware platform to present the user interface intermediately defined as declarative extensible markup language data.
