Abstract: Optimization constraints are used to select an appropriate content item from an available group of content items which are ordered in a specific manner to facilitate the proper selection of the content item, even if the exact item desired is not present. The server (102) is then able to insert the selected content item into the outgoing content page requested by the client (106). The optimization constraints can be, but are not limited to, any one of the following: communication channel performance (bandwidth), client operating system, client processor, client display capabilities, client installed software (video or audio codecs for example), and/or user preferences. A  software product and method enable selective delivery of content to client devices of varying performance characteristics, including varying bandwidth, by selective filtering and inclusion of markup language content using tags demarcating optional content. The optional content may include a number of alternate items of content. An optimization constraint is used to select one of the items. The server (102) includes the selected item in an item of content requested by a client device (106). The optimization constraints are associated with varying levels of client/communication channel performance.

Title: Methods and apparatus for securing medical instruments to desired locations in a patient's body
Inventor: QUICK RICHARD L
IPC: A61B17/22
Filed: 1999-08-24
Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for securely affixing a medical instrument to desired tissue in a patient's body, using a fixation agent. Such medical instruments may comprise localization wires or tissue acquisition instrument s, such as biopsy instruments, for example. In the case of tissue acquisition instruments, the inventors have discovered significant advantages for secure ly affixing the distal end of the tissue acquisition instrument to a particular  tissue target area. For example, such an approach permits the imaging environment to be uncoupled from the procedural environment so that expensiv e and often unavaible imaging equipment, such as stereotactic imaging equipmen t, need not be used. In a preferred embodiment, a bonding agent, such as adhesive, surgical glue, or a solvent, is used as the fixation agent.</SDOAB >

To this end, starch phosphates are provided in which the anhydroglucose units are substituted by phosphate ester groups and carbamide groups, and the average degree of substitution DS of the carbamide groups and of the phosphate ester groups is in a range, each time, that is greater than 0.01. The starting materials are used in a mol ratio of anhydroglucose units of the starch: phosphorus of the phosphorylating agent: urea of 1 : 0.1 to 1.5 : 0.3 to 4, and the reaction is carried out in a vacuum under a pressure of <= 13.3 kPa and at reaction temperatures ranging from 90°C to 140°C. Starch phosphates exhibiting different properties are obtained by reacting at different reaction temperatures, are distinguished by a good biodegradability, and are resistant to hydrolysis under normal conditions.
