Mutant cholera holotoxins having single or double amino acid substitutions or insertions have reduced toxicity compared to the wild-type cholera holotoxin. The mutant cholera holotoxins are useful as adjuvants in antigenic compositions to enhance the immune response in a vertebrate host to a selected antigen from a pathogenic bacterium, virus, fungus, or parasite, a cancer cell, a tumor cell, an allergen, or a self-molecule.

The system includes a pair of surgical instruments that are coupled to a pair of robotic arms. The instruments have end effectors that can be manipulated to hold and suture tissue. The robotic arms are coupled to a pair of master handles by a controller. The handles can be moved by the surgeon to produce a corresponding movement of the end effectors. The movement of the handles is scaled so that the end effectors have a corresponding movement that is different, typically smaller, than the movement performed by the hands of the surgeon. The scale factor is adjustable so that the surgeon can control the resolution of the end effector movement. The movement of the end effector can be controlled by an input button, so that the end effector only moves when the button is depressed by the surgeon. The input button allows the surgeon to adjust the position of the handles without moving the end effector, so that the handles can be moved to a more comfortable position. The system may also have a robotically controlled endoscope which allows the surgeon to remotely view the surgical site. A cardiac procedure can be performed by making small incisions in the patient's skin and inserting the instruments and endoscope into the patient. The surgeon manipulates the handles and moves the end effectors to perform a cardiac procedure such as a coronary artery bypass graft.

Methods and systems are provided for providing an improved three-dimensional graphical user interface. In one embodiment, the method generally comprises: receiving an input from an end user, and capturing computing output from at least one computer source in response to the received end-user input. The computing output can be presented as two or more objects within a three-dimensional virtual space displayed to the end user. In one embodiment, the method further comprises generating a timeline that includes an icon for each object presented within the virtual space. In another embodiment, the method further comprises providing a database for storing and categorizing data regarding each object presented within the virtual space.

A method and system are provided for managing application programs with non-responsive user interfaces, possibly due to a bottleneck in handling events / messages. The method and system make an apparently frozen application user interface responsive so as to permit alternative tasks be executed or close the hung application. This is enabled by implementing routines to (a) detect if an application is hung, (b) replace the user interface for the hung application with a ghost interface, implemented by a separate thread, that permits system functionality such as sizing, minimization and closing of the application, and (c) destroying the ghost interface if the hung application becomes responsive again along with restoring the application's user interface along with updated event queues. Furthermore, creation of the ghost user interface is accompanied by placing a high priority special event in the hung application's queue to detect renewed responsiveness without requiring explicit monitoring.

The invention discloses an electronic device. The electronic device comprises a display screen, wherein the display screen comprises a full-screen display region; the display region comprises a low-frequency display region; and a through groove is formed in the low-frequency display region of the display screen. The change frequency of display content of the low-frequency display region is lower than pre-set frequency threshold value. Or the change frequency of the display content of the low-frequency display region is lower than the change frequency of the display content in other regions of the display region. Or the change frequency of the display content of the low-frequency display region is lower than the change frequency of the display content in a periphery display region of the low-frequency display region. The display screen of the electronic device comprises the full-screen display region and the through groove is formed in the low-frequency display region of the display screen, so that positions of functional modules including a camera, an optical sensor and the like can correspond to the through groove; and the electronic device keeps functions of the functional modules and the screen-to-body ratio is also improved, so that user experience is improved.

A shuttered adapter for a communications connector is formed of two pieces in the form of a retainer and a door. The retainer is formed of plastic and includes facing resilient lips for snap-on attachment to a connector body. A resilient tab and a first hinge portion are integrally formed as features of the retainer during an initial molding process of the retainer. The door is formed of plastic and includes a second hinge portion integrally formed therewith during an initial molding process of the door. The second hinge portion is attached to the first hinge portion to permit the door to pivot relative to the retainer. The resilient tab contacts a top of the door to urge the door into a position covering an opening in the connector for receiving a mating connector.
