Abstract: A game platform manages, on behalf of a game program, platform nodes used to execute game operations, such as physics operations, artificial intelligence operations, and player messaging operations. Via the game platform, the game program can implement relatively sophisticated and complex game operations. The game platform can implement each game operation at a corresponding platform node, wherein the platform node employs associated hardware to execute the game operation. The game platform can distribute the platform nodes at different sets of hardware resources, such as different servers, different hardware accelerators, and the like, and thereby implement more sophisticated game operations than can be implemented by the game program directly. The game platform communicates data between the game program and the platform nodes using a zero-copy transfer technique, thereby transferring data with relatively little latency.

Abstract: The present application relates to methods of producing a protein in fucosylated and afucosylated forms at a predetermined ratio.

Abstract: A secure mechanism for adding network devices uses an unsecure guest network and a secure network both coupled to a secure hub. When an unknown device is introduced, it is initially connected to the guest network and can only communicate with the hub and with a wide area network (WAN). The unknown device is prohibited from communicating with the secure network and any device connected to the secure network. The unknown device provides credentials to the hub, which are verified with a secure database, such as a blockchain ledger, that provides manufacturer device information and certification. Upon authentication, the hub permits the identified device to connect to the secure network. The hub may also configure the now identified device for security and operational parameters. The hub may also retrieve network traffic pattern information from the secure database and use such information to monitor normal expected activity from the identified device.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to electrochemical cells and production thereof under high pressure. In some aspects, a method of producing an electrochemical cell can include disposing a cathode material onto a cathode current collector to form a cathode, disposing an anode material onto an anode current collector to form an anode, and disposing the anode onto the cathode in an assembly jig with a separator positioned between the anode and the cathode to form an electrochemical cell, the assembly jig applying a force to the electrochemical cell such that a pressure in the cathode material is at least about 3,500 kPa. In some embodiments, the cathode material can be a first cathode material, and the method can further include disposing a second cathode material onto the first cathode material. In some embodiments, the first cathode material can include silicon. In some embodiments, the second cathode material can include graphite.
