Abstract: The present disclosure is related to an electrolyte for a sodium secondary battery, wherein the electrolyte comprises a compound having a chemical structure including an oxygen molecule covalently bound to R1 and R2 groups (R1-O-R2), wherein each of R1 and R2 is an alkyl group or an aryl group.

Abstract: A non-limiting example method includes receiving a request to publish content that is stored on a user storage server in a personal data store. The method includes preparing the content for publication and moving the prepared content to a content repository to generate published content. The method includes receiving a request to make a personal copy of the published content and making a copy of the published content in a personal data store in a user storage server. The copy is independently editable of the published content. A non-limiting example system includes an application programming interface that includes a publish command to generate a published copy of a specified first content stored in a first personal data store in a content repository, and a retrieve command that generates a personal copy of a specified second content stored in the content repository in a second personal data store.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing functionality to users of mobile devices, including coordinating the inter-connection of multiple mobile devices, such as for multiple mobile devices of multiple distinct types, and optionally using multiple different types of inter-connections. In some situations, the described techniques include performing matchmaking operations to determine whether and/or how a group of multiple inter-connected mobile devices will provide functionality to each other and/or will access functionality from one or more remote server computing systems, including to select a host mobile device for the group. In addition, in some situations, the described techniques include providing a distributed display canvas functionality, by using the displays of multiple inter-connected mobile devices of a group to display some or all of the graphical user interface (“GUI”) of an application, such as by displaying on each mobile device a distinct portion of the GUI specific to that mobile device.
