Abstract: Systems and methods for executing compiled code having parallel code fragments is provided. One method includes storing executable code having a plurality of parallel code fragments, each of the plurality of parallel code fragments representing alternative executable paths through a code stream. The method further includes determining a code level supported by a processor executable at a computing system, the processor executable supporting a hosted computing environment. The method also includes translating the executable code into machine-readable code executable by a processor of the computing system. Translating the executable code includes selecting a code fragment from among the plurality of parallel code fragments for execution based on the code level supported by the processor executable. The method includes executing the machine-readable code within the hosted computing environment.

Abstract: A ruggedized triggering handle device for a mobile scanning system supports a mobile device (tablet, smartphone) attachable by a bracket on the upper surface of the handle. The handle may establish a wireless link to the mobile device; a trigger of the handle device includes a magnetic switch which, when driven proximate to a triggering element enclosed within the handle, causes the triggering element to transmit key codes and instructions via the wireless link, enabling the user to trigger applications and peripheral sensing components (e.g., readers, scanners, imagers) of or proximate to the mobile device via the handle. The peripheral sensing components may be modular elements attachable between the upper and lower portions of the handle device, either individually or serially as needed, and operable via the trigger or the additional buttons without the need for visual reference to the handle.

Abstract: A system for facilitating a response to an event notifying signal is disclosed herein. The system comprises: a network monitoring module configured for monitoring signals received over a data network for a presence of one or more event notifying signals indicative of a relevant incident within a geographic area; and an assessment module configured for determining if the relevant incident could impact any persons or property of an enterprise or organization within the geographic area and identifying a first group of people of the enterprise or organization who could be impacted by the relevant incident. The system further comprising the resource response module configured for communicating a response to a computing device associated with each person of the first group of people, where the response provides indication of the relevant incident.

Abstract: A messaging system automatically populates a stream of messages using only a seed selected by the requesting account holder. In one embodiment, the seed includes the streams of one or more of the “top” accounts of the messaging system. Here, “top” is according to any one of a number of different metrics stored in the messaging system. With knowledge of the seed, the messaging system automatically populates a stream for the requesting account holder, without requiring any other input. As a result, an account holder is provided with a fully functioning stream with very little effort or knowledge required on their part.

Abstract: A hardware in the loop simulation and test system that includes a phased array antenna simulation system providing dynamic range and angle of arrival signals simulation and synchronizing for input into a system under test (SUT) that includes a phased array signal processing system along with related methods. Embodiments include system elements that increase precision of signal simulation to include reduced error in angular resolution.

Abstract: Techniques to provide guidance to a vehicle operating in an environment may include determining a suggested region to block in the environment along a path of the vehicle and causing presentation of the suggested region to block in a user interface of the computer device. Information about the blocked region may be transmitted to one or more vehicles in the environment. Based on the information about the blocked region, at least one of the computer device or a vehicle computer system of the vehicle may control operation of the vehicle to avoid the blocked region.

Abstract: A system for facilitating automated response to an event notifying signal, the system including a network monitoring module, an assessment module, a resource monitoring module, and a resource response module. The network monitoring module is configured for monitoring signals received over a data network for a presence of one or more event notifying signals indicative of a relevant incident. The assessment module is configured for assessing a response of the one or more event notifying signals and a resource tasked to the response. The resource monitoring module is configured for monitoring a status of a resource tasked to the response of the event notifying signal. The resource response module is configured for communicating the response to the resource tasked to the response.

Abstract: Exemplary support assemblies may include an electrostatic chuck body defining a substrate support surface. The assemblies may include a support stem coupled with the electrostatic chuck body. The assemblies may include a heater embedded within the electrostatic chuck body. The assemblies may include an electrode embedded within the electrostatic chuck body between the heater and the substrate support surface. The assemblies may include a power transmission rod coupled with the electrode. The power transmission rod may include a material characterized by a coefficient of thermal expansion of less than or about 10×10?6/° C.

Abstract: Housings and associated mechanical and ornamental design features directed to ceiling-mounted electro-acoustical components, such as array microphones, for example, for use in a suspended ceiling, are provided. In an embodiment, a housing for a ceiling array microphone is configured for mounting the microphone within a grid system of a suspended ceiling. The housing comprises a mounting element for mounting the housing within the grid system. The mounting element includes a lipped portion positioned approximate a periphery of the housing and configured to engage the grid when the housing is mounted with the grid system.

Abstract: An affinity server estimates an affinity between two different time based media events (e.g., TV, radio, social media content stream), between a time based media event and a specific topic, or between two different topics, where the affinity score represents an intersection between the populations of social media users who have authored social media content items regarding the two different events and/or topics. The affinity score represents an estimation of the real world affinity between the real world population of people who have an interest in both time based media events, both topics, or in a time based media event and a topic. One possible threshold for including a social media user in a population may be based on a confidence score that indicates the confidence that one or more social media content items authored by the social media user are relevant to the topic or event in question.

Abstract: Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application correspond to a content validation system. A content validation service receives visual secret request information from user devices. The content validation service provides visual secret information to be rendered with received content. The content validation service then receives a snapshot of content to be rendered including a representation of the visual secret information to validate the content.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) useful as agonists of stimulator of interferon genes (STING), the preparation method therefor, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and the pharmaceutical uses for the treatment of STING-mediated diseases or disorders are disclosed.

Abstract: A shampoo bowl and neck/head rest combination wherein the shampoo bowl for receiving the neck and/or head area has a recessed area for receiving the neck/head rest below a top edge of the shampoo bowl. In another embodiment, a shampoo bowl arrangement comprises a bowl, the bowl dimensioned to receive a neck area and/or a head area of a person during a hair washing, hair cutting, massaging and/or hair coloring procedure; and one or more accessories, couplable to the bowl and utilizable during the hair washing, hair cutting, massaging and/or hair coloring procedure.
