Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to a distributed CDN comprised of CDN nodes that each have a compute engine and a data store. Compute engines may be used to execute software associated with computing functionality of the distributed CDN and may be reconfigured according to changing conditions to adapt computing functionality to current or expected demand. Nodes may communicate with one another via an overlay network. A node may determine whether it should process a request or generate a route via the overlay network to the remote node, thereby enabling the remote node to process the request. In another example, a node may receive a request for a compute resource that is not currently provided by the node. The compute engine of the node may be reconfigured to provide the compute resource, thereby enabling the node to service the request rather than redirect the request to a different node.

Abstract: In some embodiments, Uniform Resource Locator (URL) parameters may be used to bind access tokens to authorize web-browser-initiated network operations. In some embodiments, a user input at a data exchange gateway associated with a first website to perform a first network operation (e.g., a request to access resources associated with the first website) may be detected. In response to the detected user input, an access token may be generated based on user specific information associated with the user, where the access token is associated with one or more network operation parameters. In response to a use of the access token for authorizing the first network operation and successful authorization of the first network operation, the access token may be configured to be bound to a first URL identifier parameter associated with the first website.

Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques for mitigating a display artifact that may result from first frame rate effects at low luminance levels. For example, in an implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving display data to be presented on a display of an electronic device at a display driver. At the display driver, a luminance level of the display data is determined. Responsive to determining at the display driver that the luminance level is below a threshold luminance level, a gray level is determined for one or more regions of the display data. Responsive to determining at the display driver that the gray level for at least one region of the one or more regions is below a baseline gray level for the threshold luminance level, the gray level is increased to an adjusted gray level equal to at least the baseline gray level.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to cell culture systems having controlled gas concentration boundary conditions around cell culture. In an illustrative example, a programmable cell culture system (PCCS) may include one or more manifolds, each releasably coupled to multiple cell culture modules. The cell culture modules, for example, may include a nutrient capacitive medium (NCM) in fluid communication with a concentration-controlled gas source through at least two gas transfer interfaces. The gas transfer interfaces (GTIs) may, for example, be spatially distributed in relation to a cell growth surface in the NCM. Each GTI, for example, may include a gas permeable membrane (GPM) and a plenum. The GPM may be disposed between the plenum and the NCM. Various embodiments may advantageously selectively control a concentration of at least one target gas in the NCM by maintaining predetermined boundary conditions of the cell growth surface via the GTIs.
