The Invention is a rich internet application that enables a User (content creator) to store and manage career Content (text, images, audio / video, and other media) in a database or file system over the internet in a way that the Content can be selected, retrieved, edited, and reused to create multiple, custom, and interactive resumes and websites from the Content. The invention captures and stores data at an Element level (i.e. a single resume bullet rather than an entire resume or a larger block of text) which enables versioning, selection, comparison, and maintenance of the Elements and enables Associations (stored relationships, links) between Elements (e.g. between a keyword and a resume bullet, or between a resume bullet and a Storyboard multimedia object). The method of storing, managing, and associating Elements facilitates the creation of multiple custom resumes and websites and yields interactive and concurrent views of the User's Content.

System and method to extend the data carrying capacity of a hybrid fiber cable (HFC) network by adding wideband RF signal capability above 1 GHz, and replacing at least some CATV active devices such as amplifiers with a new type of Coax Domain Node (CDN) device that acts to segment the CATV cable portion of the HFC network into a series of smaller domains. The CDN generally filter RF signals from 5-865 MHz, while amplifying and passing RF signals over 1 GHz. Upstream capability is enhanced because the CDN intercept 5-42 MHz upstream signals from each domain and convert to 1 GHz+ signals. Downstream capability is also enhanced because the CDN can take efficiently encoded 1 GHz+ digital data, QAM modulate it, and locally inject into each domain without crosstalk between domains. The system pushes data management and downstream from the head end to the CDN, creating more throughput.

A method of manufacturing a sturdy and pliable fibrous hemostatic dressing by making fibers that maximally expose surface area per unit weight of active ingredients as a means for aiding in the clot forming process and as a means of minimizing waste of active ingredients. The method uses a rotating object to spin off a liquid biocompatible fiber precursor, which is added at its center. Fibers formed then deposit on a collector located at a distance from the rotating object creating a fiber layer on the collector. An electrical potential difference is maintained between the rotating disk and the collector. Then, a liquid procoagulation species is introduced at the center of the rotating disk such that it spins off the rotating disk and coats the fibers.
