摘要:
A method, system, and computer program product for managing at least one work flow in a distributed system are disclosed. The method includes receiving a notification from a central storage system identifying a participant's information processing system as at least one participant in at least one workflow. The at least one workflow is analyzed to determine if at least one step of the workflow is currently executable at the participant's information processing system. The step is executed in response to determining that the step is currently executable at the participant's information processing system. Workflow update information is transmitted to the central storage system for association with the workflow.

An Event Manager receives events requiring action. The events are parsed into event action types which are placed in an Event Queue. Program agents in a pool of agents are dynamicly instantiated and retired from the pool based on the number of queued events by type. Program agents, when available, initiate a search for a work entry on the Event Queue that is of a type that the agent can handle. When an agent finds work, the corresponding Event Queue entry is marked as assigned to the agent and the agent performs the action associated with the work entry.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for graphically presenting compatible workflow steps to a user through a graphical user interface are disclosed. The method includes graphically displaying a plurality of steps in a workflow. A user's selection for at least one step in a plurality of steps to denote at least one selected step and at least one non-selected step is received. The method further includes determining if a set of one or more output parameters of the selected step is acceptable as an input of the non-selected step. An appearance of the non-selected step is graphically changed if the output parameters are acceptable. The method also includes determining if a set of one or more output parameters of the non-selected step is acceptable as an input of the selected step. An appearance of the non-selected step is graphically changed if the output parameters are acceptable.

Semantically linked pages are queried based on a user supplied interest vector. The interest vector provides a weight for presenting results from the query of pages. The interest vectors are used to calculate the importance of pages of a query based on the weight of semantic links associated with the page known as page rank indicators. Optionally, the calculation is augmented by other page ranking algorithms. An indication of the resulting pages is displayed according to the calculated importance. Preferably the calculation utilizes a dot product of page rank and user interest vectors.

An air freshener assembly for releasing a chemical scent into an area includes a vent that may be positioned within an air duct. A filter is removably coupled to the vent.The filter is infused with a chemical scent such that the filter may release the chemical scent into the air urged by the air duct.
摘要:
A movable-core guidewire including a proximal portion and a distal portion. The proximal portion includes a proximal hollow tube. The distal portion includes a coil coupled to the proximal hollow tube and an elastomeric distal tube disposed within the coil. A core wire is disposed within the hypotube. The core wire is movable between a distal position wherein a portion of the core wire is disposed in the distal tube and a proximal portion wherein the core wire is removed from the distal tube. A method is also disclosed for advancing the guidewire to the treatment site.

A method for digitally preserving an electronic record includes defining a preservation and service plan for the electronic record in a model, the preservation and service plan including access requirements and authenticity requirements for a digital adaptation of the electronic record, and characteristics of the electronic record to be preserved in the digital adaptation of the electronic record, the model assigning a numeric value to each requirement and characteristic and to the relative importance of each requirement and characteristic; for each data type included in the electronic record, assigning a capability score to each digital adaptation processor that supports the data type, the capability score being indicative of the ability of the digital adaptation processor to meet the access and authenticity requirements and preserve the characteristics as valued in the model; and comparing the capability scores to determine the digital adaptation processor that most closely matches the model. An electronic record archive includes a preservation and service plan management package; a digital adaptation package; and a preservation processing package.
摘要:
A displayed document comprises an annotation widget, the widget associated with an annotation document and a corresponding annotation key in an annotation store. The annotation document associated with a workflow action program. A user with a predetermined privilege selects a widget and is presented with the annotation document. The user performs an annotation task modifying the annotation document and submits the annotation document to the annotation store, the submission triggering the workflow action program to progress the workflow to another step.
