The LED is coupled to power so that it can remain on and the notification program can go back asleep. The LED continues emitting light until the user notices and presses the deactivation button.
According to another aspect, the notification program places a taskbar annunciator in the taskbar of an operating graphical user interface window when an event is realized. After depressing the deactivation button in recognition of the LED, the user can actuate the taskbar annunciator with a stylus or other means and jump directly to the source of the event. For instance, actuating the taskbar annunciator might open a window that describes an appointment, which is the root of the event.
According to another aspect, the notification program supports a graphical user interface that enables a user to set notification options specifying how external notification is to operate. For instance, the user might prefer a flashing light in combination with an alarm. The user can set these options through the user interface. The options are saved in a structure that is accessed when a user notification is set.
According to still another aspect, the notification program is called by the applications on the handheld computing device through an application program interface (API). The API defines a time parameter that specifies when the user notification should occur and a type parameter that references the structure containing the user-defined notification options. There are a wide variety of situations in which it is desirable to lift, compress or otherwise reposition normal or aberrant tissues or anatomical structures (e.g., glands, organs, ligaments, tendons, muscles, tumors, cysts, fat pads, and the like) within the body of a human or animal subject. Such procedures are often carried out for the purpose of treating or palliating the effects of diseases or disorders (e.g., hyperplasic conditions, hypertrophic conditions, neoplasias, prolapses, herniations, stenoses, constrictions, compressions, transpositions, congenital malformations, and the like) and/or for cosmetic purposes (e.g., face lifts, breast lifts, brow lifts, and the like) and/or for research and development purposes (e.g., to create animal models that mimic various pathological conditions). In many of these procedures, surgical incisions are made in the body, and laborious surgical dissection is performed to access and expose the affected tissues or anatomical

The light-emitting diode is coupled to power so that it can remain on and the presentment program can go back asleep. The light-emitting diode continues emitting light until the user comment and presses the deactivation button. 
 According to another aspect, the notification plan places a taskbar annunciator in the taskbar of an operating graphical drug user interface window when an event is realized. After depressing the deactivation push button in recognition of the LED, the user can actuate the taskbar annunciator with a stylus or other means and leap directly to the source of the event. For instance, actuating the taskbar annunciator might open a window that describes an appointment, which is the root of the event. 
 According to another aspect, the notification program supports a graphical exploiter interface that enables a user to typeset presentment options specifying how external notification is to engage. For instance, the user might prefer a flashing inner light in combination with an alarm. The user can set these options through the user interface. The options are save in a structure that is accessed when a user notification is set. 
 According to however another aspect, the notification program is called by the applications on the hand-held computing device through an application program interface (API). The API defines a time parameter that specifies when the user notification should happen and a type parameter that references the structure containing the exploiter - defined presentment options. There cost a wide kind of situations in which it is desirable to lift, compress or otherwise reposition normal or aberrant tissues or anatomic structures (e.g., glands, organs, ligaments, tendons, muscles, tumors, cysts, fatty pads, and the like) within the torso of a human or animal subject. Such procedures are often carried out for the purpose of treating or palliating the effect of diseases or disorders (e.g., hyperplasic conditions, hypertrophic conditions, neoplasias, prolapses, hernia, stenoses, constrictions, compressions, transpositions, congenital malformations, and the like) and/or for cosmetic purposes (e.g., expression lifts, breast lifts, brow lifts, and the comparable) and/or for research and development purposes (e.g., to create animal model that mimic various pathological conditions).
