20140359509 | Templates - Among other things, a window is presented to a user through a user interface of an application running on a device. The window is for creating a template from which instances of documents will be generated. All of the documents that will be generated from the template include (a) at least one non-variable element that is part of the template, and (b) at least one value for a variable element that is part of the template, the value for the variable element depending on one or more selections made by the user in connection with document generation from the template. The user can enter the non-variable document element into the template creation window. A selection of types of variable elements is made available. When a user selects one of the types of a variable element, an interface element is presented in which the user can define the variable element in accordance with its type. The defined variable element is incorporated into the created template and into the window in which the template is being created. The created template is stored for use in generating the document instances. | 12-04-2014 |

20160000368 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IN VIVO VISUALIZATION OF LYMPHATIC VESSELS WITH OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY - The present technology relates generally to systems and methods for in vivo visualization of lymphatic vessels. A system includes an optical coherence tomography (OCT) device and a computing device coupled to the OCT device configured to cause the OCT device to perform an OCT scan, generate image data in response to the OCT scan, and apply an eigendecomposition filter to the image data to produce processed image data. Alternatively or in addition, the computing device can compensate for scattering attenuation along an optical axis of the OCT scan in the image data set to generate compensated image data, enhance contrast of the compensated image data along a cross-section substantially orthogonal to the optical axis to generate contrast-enhanced image data, and identify at least one lymphatic vessel in the image data. | 01-07-2016 |

20140170915 | OPEN WATER SWIM TRAINING DEVICE - An open-water swim training device provides open-water swimmers a stronger, safer swim without performance or stroke. The device includes a buoyant body having a tapered front end and an opening positioned in an upper surface thereof for removably receiving nutrition and/or hydration. A first end of a tether is connected to the tapered front end of the buoyant body. A waistband for removably connecting the training device to a swimmer is connected to a second end of the tether. A visibility marker is also affixed to the buoyant body. | 06-19-2014 |
