  • Patent number: 11729248
    Abstract: Systems and method for migrating a web application from a source environment to a cloud service. A cloud service system accesses a temporary container containing a manifest and a plurality of web parts for the web application. The manifest includes a list of contents of the temporary container and defines an appearance and functionality of the web application. The cloud service system then reconstructs the web application on the cloud service by automatically generating a user interface environment for the web application on the cloud service based on the manifest and importing each web part of the web parts to the cloud service. The cloud service system configures each web part and the user interface environment to interact as defined by the manifest. The user interface environment reconstructed on the cloud service replicates the appearance and functionality of the web application operating system in the source environment.

  • Publication number: 20230026610
    Abstract: The techniques and systems described herein relate to manufacturing, characterizing, and/or identifying one or more types of magnetic nanowires (MNWs). One or more types of MNWs may be associated with different objects, and a system may identify the objects based on the magnetic nanowires associated with the objects. For example, such techniques may involve characterizing the types of MNWs based on magnetic field transmission characteristics and ferromagnetic resonance characteristics of each type of MNW. In some examples, the techniques described herein may enable the identification of each of a plurality of types of MNWs present in a sample or object based on a combined transmission value of the sample. Such techniques may enable the development and use of barcode-like systems of different types of MNWs for labeling and identifying objects of interest.
