Abstract: A system and apparatus for automation of microscope slide sample staining is disclosed. The slides are labelled with a unique identification, preferably a machine readable code printed onto a label, where the label is affixed to the slide. The label is a pointer to information in a database containing patient data on the sample, including staining protocol and reagents to be applied. Also disclosed is a reagent identification system where reagent containers used in the above staining system having a unique package identifier, preferably in the form of a label having a machine readable code. Data relating to the contents of the reagent containers, such as volume, batch number, reagent type and expiry date, is stored in a database in association with the unique package identifier. Using the reagent container unique package identifier it is possible to associate the type of protocol, and precise reagent used in the test with the patient data, allowing tracking of the test applied to the sample.

Abstract: A method and implementing system are provided in which CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) Life Cycle Service FactoryFinder capabilities are combined with CORBA Naming Service resolve operations on a Naming Context. The methodology allows EJBHomes in a distributed network to be found using CORBA Life Cycle Services while maintaining support for the EJB (Enterprise Java Bean) programming model of using JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) lookup calls to locate EJBHomes. Usage of Life Cycle Services in an EJB environment for finding EJBHomes by using Naming interfaces is enabled while using Life Cycle Service semantics. An exemplary embodiment is provided to allow deployment in different environments (including environments without Life Cycle support) and reconfiguration of the FactoryFinder being used, without requiring changes to source code.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种方法和实现系统，其中CORBA（通用对象请求代理体系结构）生命周期服务FactoryFinder功能与命名上下文中的CORBA命名服务解析操作相结合。 该方法允许使用CORBA生命周期服务找到分布式网络中的EJBHomes，同时保持对使用JNDI（Java命名和目录接口）查询调用定位EJBHomes的EJB（Enterprise Java Bean）编程模型的支持。 在使用生命周期服务语义的情况下，使能生命周期服务在EJB环境中通过使用命名接口来查找EJBHomes。 提供了一个示例性实施例，以允许在不需要更改源代码的情况下部署在不同环境（包括没有生命周期支持的环境）和正在使用的FactoryFinder的重新配置。

Abstract: To enable adaptive monitoring of the resource, metrics about the workload received at the resource from one or more clients are used to derive monitoring feedback comprising a recommendation as to how the monitoring should be performed. This is then used as input to a decision making process controlling the monitoring of the resource. The recommendation may be for the monitor to increase or decrease its monitoring interval. The resource may decide to increase or decrease its monitoring depth or checking, or may suggest a new monitoring depth to the monitor.

Means are also provided to make known to Life Cycle Services, the queriable collections which are not also Homes.

Abstract: In a data processing environment where a client requests a server to perform part of its processing, a method of updating the client's version of server-related data without requiring the client to be a server, includes steps of: receiving, at a control point server, a first request from the client requesting that server-related data be transferred from the control point server to the client; and in response to the first request, sending the server-related data from the control point server to the client, along with a unique bind token identifying a version number of the server-related data such that each time the server-related data changes a new unique bind token is associated with the data, where the client uses the server-related data to form a second request for the server to perform part of the client's processing, and where the client sends said bind token to the server as part of the second request.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus and computer program product which enables a target service to provide operations which behave, on a per operation basis, in a way appropriate to the type of client that requested the operation to be performed. As a result the target service can provide operations which behave differently for different clients. Further the client can obtain details of the behavior characteristics of the operations, according to its type, at runtime and act appropriately in the event of the request being timed out or resulting in a communication failure. For example, the client middleware can take action to re-issue a timed out request if the behavior characteristic for that operation indicates that multiple invocations of the operation will yield the same result.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供了一种方法，装置和计算机程序产品，其使得目标服务能够以适合于要求执行的操作的客户端的类型的方式提供在每个操作的基础上行为的操作。 因此，目标服务可以为不同的客户端提供不同的操作。 此外，客户端可以在运行时根据其类型获取操作的行为特征的细节，并且在请求超时或导致通信失败的情况下适当地执行操作。 例如，如果该操作的行为特征指示操作的多次调用将产生相同的结果，则客户端中间件可以采取行动重新发出超时请求。
