Appl. No.:

10/205993

Inventors:

David Shepherd - Durham NC, US
Mark Sibert - Durham NC, US
David Soroka - Raleigh NC, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/202000, 709/207000

Abstract:

A method of activating external application logic from a script embedded in client-side rendered markup. The method can include establishing a communicative link with an application interface to the script. A pre-configured message can be received from the application interface over the communicative link. In response to receiving the pre-configured message, at least one operation can be activated in a process address space which is separate from a process address space used to render the markup and to process the script. Importantly, in a preferred aspect of the present invention, data can be retrieved from a data source remote to the client computing device. Subsequently, the retrieved data can be used to populate at least one user interface field in separately rendered markup.

Abstract:

A pre-slit injection site (34) includes a housing (40) with a flow path therethrough. A first end (42) of the housing (40) carries a pre-slit septum (52). One form of a blunt cannula (98), usable with the injection site (34), carries a locking member (100). When the pre-slit injection site (34) slidably receives the blunt cannula (98), the locking member (100) latches to the injection site (34) and creates a mechanically coupled unit. Another form of the cannula (280) includes a tube having a tapered distal end region (298) and having elongate discharge slots (294) for reducing contact surface area and for directing the flow laterally out of the cannula. The cannula may also include a rounded lead post (330), an annular barb (394), and axially oriented grooves (268). A blood sampling system utilizing an in-line pre-slit injetion site (492) and a shielded blunt cannula (512). An adapter for transferring fluids from a syringe with a blunt cannula to an evacuated tube, including a pre-slit injection site (554) and a shroud covered needle (556) with a rubber sleeve.

Abstract:

Technologies for interruptibility analysis and notification are disclosed. In at least one illustrative embodiment, a method may comprise generating a live data stream including activity data received from one or more sensors associated with a worker, repeatedly generating an interruptibility status of the worker as a function of the activity data in the live data stream over a recent time period, and transmitting a signal that causes one of a plurality of status indicators to be displayed, the displayed status indicator corresponding to the current interruptibility status of the worker.
