Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for tracking network connected devices includes the steps of determining whether a device is associated with an identifier. If the device does have an identifier, determining whether the identifier is associated with the device and if the device does not already have an identifier, associating an identifier with the device. Next, an amount of tokens is assigned to the device and its associated identifier. The last step determines an accounting of the tokens associated with the device. Other steps that may be included are the steps of determining whether an event has occurred and adjusting the value of the tokens associated with the device based on that event. Other steps determine the status of a device, for example an on or off status of the device or the physical location of the device.

Abstract: A network resource, such as a page, may be loaded or rendered in different manners on a plurality of different browsers. Data and information regarding the loading and/or rendering of various network resources on a variety of browsers, including data or information regarding errors, latencies or customer ratings of the loading or rendering of such resources on such browsers, may be evaluated in order to identify the most appropriate browser for viewing a requested network resource. If that network resource is available to a user who requests the network resource, then a recommendation or an instruction to view the network resource in the most appropriate browser may be provided to the user.

Abstract: Template-driven data access is enabled. A collection of data model component identifiers that are accessible for use by view developers may be established. View developers may specify views of the data model with a view description language and may utilize accessible data model component identifiers to reference data model components that may be rendered in the views. The views may be in accordance with a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. In contrast to a conventional MVC architecture, changes to a view do not require changes to a corresponding controller. For example, view developers may create, update, modify and delete views independent of the activity of controller developers. In accordance with at least one embodiment, there is a universal controller for views specified with the view specification language and/or utilizing the predefined collection of accessible data model component identifiers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for checking the consistency of established facts within internal works according to the present disclosure operate by identifying established facts within the internal works and determining whether any of the established facts are contradictory to one another. Facts may be established and conflicts may be identified by any means, such as by determining associations between words of the internal work, or by consulting one or more external resources. If a contradiction between established facts is identified, then an author of the internal work or other user may be notified, and a change to the internal work may be recommended to the author or user, or requested from the author or user.

Abstract: Conversion of a network site from a particular network site development platform to a different network site development platform may be facilitated by a network site conversion service. The merchant may provide the network site conversion service with a uniform resource locator that references a home document of the network site. The network site conversion service may traverse the source network site to determine the source network site's internal structure. The collected data may be analyzed. For example, aspects of the source network site may be mapped to components of the destination network site development platform. A converted network site may be generated based on the analysis. For example, the aspects of the source network site having mappings to the components of the destination network site development platform may be implemented with those components in the converted network site. The converted network site may then be published.

Abstract: Techniques for driving higher quality of code may be provided. For example, code may be received for hosting on a computing resource. A computing service may be implemented to analyze the code prior to the hosting. The analysis may include assessing components of the code against criteria associated with code performance. Based on the analysis, the computing service may determine a quality of the code, provide recommended changes to the code that may improve the quality, and identify a proper computing resource for hosting the code at the quality.

Abstract: Processes for classifying, and dynamically adjusting, tiers for web services are described. Depending on the classification of the web service, support resources (e.g. servers, storage, bandwidth or other communications resources, etc.) may be configured in different ways, such as, for example, sharing resources among one or more of the web services, or isolating the resources for particular web services from those of other web services. Various electronic storefronts may be provided by a service provider to merchants/customers of the service provider. The service provider may classify each of the electronic storefronts for the merchants to a plurality of tiers. Such classifying may be performed, for example, during an enrollment of the merchant with the service provider, and/or during operation of the electronic storefront.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and preventing spam content attempted to be sent from a sender account may be provided. In an embodiment, a system can determine if a user's electronic service has been compromised based on analyzing electronic messages attempted to be sent by the electronic service. For example, the system can calculate a score for the electronic messages utilizing a spam detection algorithm where the score represents the probability that the message contains spam content. The system can prevent the communication of electronic messages upon a determination that the electronic service has been compromised. The system can request authentication information from the user before further communication is allowed from the compromised electronic service.

Abstract: A slab gas laser has a live slab electrode and a ground slab electrode with the live slab electrode and the ground slab electrode defining a primary gas discharge chamber therebetween. The live electrode is in electrical communication with a first AC power supply to provide a first excitation signal. A pre-ionizing cell comprises a live electrode and a ground electrode defining a pre-ionizing gas discharge chamber therebetween. The live electrode is in electrical communication with a second AC power supply distinct from the first AC power supply to provide a second excitation signal delivering a discharge of electrons from the pre-ionizing gas discharge chamber. The pre-ionizing and the primary gas discharge chambers are aligned such that the pre-ionizing cell is oriented with the edges of its live and ground electrodes adjacent and substantially parallel to edges of the ground slab and live slab electrodes, respectively.

Abstract: A method and system for migrating massive amounts of data in a secure and traceable fashion using a distributed storage system is described. Data shuttle storage devices moves large quantities of content from one source location to one or more target locations by first acting in local communication with the source location, then being physically moved to a location where a shuttle storage device may be in local communication with the target location. This migration does not compromise data accessibility, reliability, or security. Dynamic configurable policy-driven data placement specifies the number and location of multiple copies of each digital data object. Each digital data object replica remains traceable even as the hardware onto which it is stored is being relocated. The content remains accessible at any time.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter provides improved processes for processing starch from plant sources, including processes for starch liquefaction, for simultaneous liquefaction and saccharification, and for the preparation of ethanol. These processes can be performed without a pH adjustment and at relatively low temperatures. The processes can involve the use of starch-containing plant material derived from plants that express starch-digesting enzymes. The presently disclosed subject matter further relates to improved processes for the preparation of other starch-derived products, including dried distiller grain (dried distiller grain) and dried distiller grain and solubles (dried distiller grain and solubles), and to the starch-derived products, themselves.
