1. A portal server comprising:
at least one local portlet;
at least one interface component for establishing communication with users;
a content component;
a SOAPHTTP communication protocol component for establishing communication between the content component and the portal server;
a publishing component for automatically creating a service description of said at least one local portlet and publishing said service description into a Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI);a finding and binding component for selecting service descriptions of at least one remote portlet previously published in said UDDI and electronically binding said at least one remote portlet using said service description published in said UDDI to establish access to said at least one remote portlet, wherein said access is without local installation of portlet code of the at least one remote portlet onto the portal server;
a portlet registry implemented on a storage device for storing remote portlet access information derived from said service descriptions; and
a portlet proxy having an interface with said portlet registry for receiving portlet access information and an interface with a second portal server offering a remote portlet web service.
2. A portal server according to claim 1, further comprising:
a portal aggregation component having an interface to said portlet registry and said portlet proxy.
3. A portal server according to claim 2, with said portlet registry having an interface to said finding and binding component.
4. A portal server according to said claim 1, wherein said service description contains at least portlet name, portlet description, and portlet address.
5. A portal server according to claim 1, with said user interface component having an interface to said portlet registry for user selection of remote portlets.
6. A portal server according to claim 1, further including a direct interface between said user interface component and said finding and binding component to enable a user to initiate a finding and binding procedure by use of said finding and binding component.
7. A portal server according to claim 6, further including an interface between said user interface component and said portal aggregation component.
8. A content provider system comprising:
at least one locally accessible content portlet;
at least an interface component for establishing communication via a network with a portal server;
a publishing component for creating service descriptions of said locally accessible content portlets, storing the service descriptions in a portlet registry implemented on a storage device, and publishing said service descriptions into a UDDI; and
a SOAPHTTP communication protocol component for establishing communication between said content provider and said portal server for execution of said local content portlet at said content provider via said portal server by means of finding and binding of said service description of said content portlet in said UDDI by said portal server and establishing communication and execution of said content portlet using access information of said service description for accessing said content portlet, wherein said communication is without local installation of portlet code of the at least one remote portlet onto the portal server.
9. A portal server comprising:
an interface component for establishing communication via network with a content provider;
a finding and binding component for selecting service descriptions of content portlets in a central registry and binding said content portlets by using said service descriptions for accessing said remote portlets, wherein said service descriptions of said content portlets are created and stored on a portlet registry implemented on a storage device and published into a UDDI by said content provider; and
a SOAPHTTP communication protocol component for establishing communication between said portal server and said content provider for execution of said content portlet installed at said content provider, wherein said communication is without local installation of portlet code of the remote portlet onto the portal server.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
We claim:
1. A blood processing system comprising
a first container to receive blood for centrifugal processing into a first component and a second component comprising plasma,
a second container to receive the second component from the first container, and
a filter to remove cellular species from the second component.
2. A blood processing system according to claim 1 wherein the first component comprises red blood cells.
3. A blood processing system according to claim 1
further including a filter to remove leukocytes from the first component in a downstream flow direction from the first container.
4. A blood processing system according to claim 1
further including a filter to remove leukocytes from blood in an upstream flow direction from the first container.
5. A blood processing system according to claim 1
further including a transfer container to receive the first component from the first container.
6. A blood processing system according to claim 5
further including a filter located between the first container and the transfer container to remove leukocytes from the first component.
7. A blood processing system according to claim 1
wherein the filter to remove cellular species from the second component is located in an upstream flow direction from the second container.
8. A blood processing system according to claim 1
wherein the filter to remove cellular species from the second component is located between the first container and the second container.
9. A blood processing system according to claim 1
wherein the filter to remove cellular species from the second component is located in a downstream flow direction from the second container.
10. A blood processing system according to claim 1
further including a transfer container communicating with the second container in a downstream flow direction from the second container.
11. A blood processing system according to claim 10
wherein the filter to remove cellular species from the second component is located between the second container and the transfer container.
12. A blood processing system according to claim 1
further including an auxiliary container holding an additive solution.
13. A blood processing system according to claim 12
wherein the auxiliary container communicates with the first container.
14. A blood processing system according to claim 12
wherein the auxiliary container communicates with the second container.
15. A blood processing system according to claim 14
wherein the filter to remove cellular species from the second component is located between the second container and the auxiliary container.
