  • Aseptic Coupling Devices
    Publication number: 20220305249
    Abstract: An aseptic coupling arrangement can include a first coupling device and a second aseptic coupling device. In one embodiment, the first and second coupling devices are substantially similar, each having a main body defining a front face and a fluid passageway therethrough. A first connecting feature disposed on the main body of each coupling device may be provided for aligning and coupling the aseptic devices together. Each coupling device may also include a sealing member received in the main body and a membrane removably coupled to the main body front face to cover the sealing member. The first aseptic coupling device may also include a rotatable protective cover that is removably attached to the main body and connected to the membrane. In one embodiment, the removal of the protective covers away from two coupled main bodies, in a direction parallel to the front faces, causes removal of the membranes.

  • CONTINUOUS DELIVERY OF DATABASE QUERIES FOR APPLICATIONS BASED ON NAMED AND VERSIONED PARAMETERIZED DATABASE QUERIES
    Publication number: 20220292097
    Abstract: A system stores associates a database query with a name and stores versions of the database query. The system allows applications to execute a specific version of the database query by specifying the name of the database query and a version identifier. For example, the database query may be exposed as an endpoint of a REST API and invoked using calls to the REST API. This allows the applications to be designed without including the query definition within the code of the application. Continuous delivery of database query is performed by creating a new version of the database query that are tested using applications in a test environment. Once the new version of a database query meets test criteria, the new version of the database query is executed by applications running in production environment by sending API requests that identify the query name and the new version.

  • CROSS-APPLICATION FACILITATING OF VIDEO ROOMS
    Publication number: 20220286645
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a video room system that can generate a video room utilizing a cross-application technique by accessing functions of one application based on user interaction within a separate application. In particular, the disclosed systems can generate a video room that remains open for access by a creator device and invitee devices in a casual come-and-go fashion. The disclosed systems can further generate a video room link that is distributable intelligently to grant access to the video room to invitee devices. The disclosed systems can also automatically surface a video room link to an invitee device based on determining a digital connection between the invitee device and the creator device.

  • ENDPOINT-ASSISTED INSPECTION OF ENCRYPTED NETWORK TRAFFIC
    Publication number: 20220239678
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a traffic inspection service executed by an intermediary device obtains, from a monitoring agent executed by an endpoint device, keying information for an encrypted traffic session between the endpoint device and a remote entity. The traffic inspection service provides a notification to the monitoring agent that acknowledges receipt of the keying information. The traffic inspection service uses the keying information to decrypt encrypted traffic from the encrypted traffic session. The traffic inspection service applies a policy to the encrypted traffic session between the endpoint device and the remote entity, based on the decrypted traffic from the session.

  • BLOCKCHAIN TRACKING OF CARBON CREDITS FOR MATERIALS WITH SEQUESTERED CARBON
    Publication number: 20220237628
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for tracking, via a blockchain registry, carbon credits in goods produced from materials with sequestered carbon. Materials with sequestered carbon may be produced by reacting greenhouse gases with air and other reagents and catalysts (including biological organisms). Following production of a batch of material with sequestered carbon, a blockchain entry may be recorded with production details and details of carbon-credits earned during production. The carbon-sequestering material may later be converted into products, each of which may have a unique product identifier. A blockchain entry may be recorded with the unique product identifiers such that an owner of a unit of product can obtain, from the blockchain registry, a verified amount of carbon-credit associated with that unit.
