摘要:
A user interface and method for composing services in a ubiquitous computing environment through direction and selection operators is presented. A display of a ubiquitous computing environment is presented. One or more hosts operating in the ubiquitous computing environment is represented with host symbols. Components in the ubiquitous computing environment coupled to each of the hosts are represented with one or more component symbols per host symbol. Each such component provides a service or includes a device or aggregate component. The host symbols and the component symbols are navigated in response to user inputs. A direction operator provides a focus in the display on either one of the host symbols or one of the component symbols. A selection operator performed against either one of the host symbols or one of the component symbols triggers a service- or device-oriented task comprising one of discovery, selection, connection, and control.
摘要:
A system and method for providing self-installing software components for network service execution is presented. A basic communication framework is established with a service host system executing a network service software component to provide a network service. Availability of the network service software component is determined and prerequisites against a runtime environment are verified through the service host system. A code bundle providing the network service software component through the service host system logically grouped with installation instructions for the network service software component is executed.
摘要:
System and method for enabling arbitrary components to control communications without having or requiring prior knowledge of each other. The system includes a first component that creates controller objects and provides the objects to other components. The controller objects include instructions which when executed by the other components enable the components to generate user interfaces for controlling the first component. Further, the controller objects are encrypted and are used to authenticate the senders or receivers of the objects.
摘要:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates dynamic delivery of service profiles to a client. During operation, the system performs a discovery operation to allow the client to discover new services on a network. If a new service is discovered for which the client does not possess a service profile, the client to obtains the service profile from the new service and subsequently installs it, thereby enabling the client to interact with the new service.

A culturing fluid of defined bacterial consortia is placed within a cultivation apparatus to generate growths of either a bioconcretious or biocolloidal form within, or attached to surfaces exposed to, the culturing fluid. Such growths involve the interactive activities between all of the bacterial consortia to generate growths and economically attractive chemical daughter and end products within the fluid environment bounded by the cultivation apparatus. The cultivation apparatus allows the culturing fluid to flow along passageways that have alternating constricted and expanded zones in a manner that creates the growth of bioconcretious or biocolloidal structures within which the bacterial consortia interact to allow maintenance of these growth structures and stimulate the production of the desired chemical products of significance. The bacterial consortia generate either biocolloids or bioconcretions within an electrically charged field that is generated by the interaction of the consortia with dissimilar metal or carbon surfaces of the passageways. The grown interacting bacterial consortia and their culturing fluids can be used as sources of chemicals such as therapeutic agents that are anti-microbial, probiotic, anti-biotic, or anti-cancer agents.

This invention uses our knowledge of the mechanisms by which antigen is recognized by T cells to identify and prepare human papillomavirus (HPV) epitopes, and to develop epitope-based vaccines directed towards HPV. More specifically, this application communicates our discovery of pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use in the prevention and treatment of HPV infection.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a cover for a semi-trailer vehicle having a cargo support surface bordered by a pair of longitudinal edge regions. The cover has a roof and a pair of side walls forming a cargo receiving passage there between; each of the pair of side walls terminating at a longitudinal free edge region to expose the cargo receiving passage to the cargo support surface. A lifting arrangement lifts the cover between a first position above the cargo support surface and a second position in abutment with the cargo support surface. Couplings removably couple each of the longitudinal free edge regions to a corresponding longitudinal edge region.
