Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable medium are provided. An interceptor hub application (IHA) converts some information in a received request, including calls for services, from a first format to a second format and sends the calls to corresponding services. At least one of the calls includes the some information in the second format. The IHA receives service responses from the corresponding services and combines them into a combined response that is provided to an originator of the received request in a corresponding expected response format. A first request from a user of a client for permission to access a first application program interface/endpoint is received via the user interface of the IHA and is provided to a first manager of the first application program interface/endpoint. Responsive to the receiving of the approval of the first request, the IHA provides the client with access to the first application program interface/endpoint.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for an automated chicken sorting conveyor belt system. Conveyor belts that move chicks from a loading area into bins move laterally (or horizontally) as the chicks fill up the bins. This reduces various impact, acceleration, and other forces imparted on the chicks.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium are provided. An interceptor hub application (IHA) receives a request for services in a first format and converts at least some information in the request to a second format. Respective requests are sent to the requested services, at least some which include a corresponding portion of the information in the second format. The IHA receives respective service responses from the respective services and provides the respective service responses in an expected combined service response format. A first request for permission to access an application program interface/endpoint is received from a user of a client via an IHA user interface and is provided to a first manager of the application program interface/endpoint. Approval of the first request from the first manager is received, and in response, the interceptor hub application provides the client with access to the application program interface/endpoint.

Abstract: One embodiment comprises a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions executable to access a conversation-enabled document and expose the conversation-enabled document on a conversation channel as a conversation into the conversation-enabled document. The conversation-enabled document can comprise a conversation component for controlling a conversation interface into the conversation-enabled document, the conversation component specifying conversation steps, routing between conversation steps and a document variable to accept a conversation participant response. The computer-executable instructions can be executable to set a document variable value in the conversation-enabled document based on the participant response received via the conversation interface; and render the conversation-enabled document to a response channel using the document variable and the page template.

Abstract: Methods of preparing partially dried or essentially completely dried compositions comprising microfibrillated cellulose and an inorganic particulate material may include microfibrillating a fibrous substrate comprising cellulose in an aqueous environment by grinding in the presence of an inorganic particulate material to form an aqueous composition comprising microfibrillated cellulose and inorganic particulate material, wherein the fibrous substrate comprising cellulose has a Canadian Standard freeness equal to or less than 450 cm, wherein the fibrous substrate to the inorganic particulate material are in a ratio of about 99.5:0.5 to about 0.5:99.

Abstract: A method for preparing an aqueous suspension may include providing a fibrous substrate comprising cellulose having a Canadian Standard freeness equal to or less than 450 cm3, and microfibrillating the fibrous substrate in an aqueous environment by grinding in the presence of a grinding medium consisting essentially of mullite. The grinding may be carried out in the absence of grindable inorganic particulate material. The grinding medium may be present in an amount of at least about 10% by volume of the aqueous environment. The microfibrillated cellulose may have a fibre steepness of from about 20 to about 50.

Abstract: One embodiment comprises a non-transitory, computer-readable medium embodying thereon computer-executable instructions for receiving a document design, generating a conversation-enabled document from the document design, exposing the conversation-enabled document on a conversation channel, receiving a participant response, updating the conversation-enabled document based the participant response, and rendering a communication page on a second channel using the updated conversation-enabled document. The document design comprises a page template and a conversation template. The page template specifies content of the communication page and a variable to be populated with a first variable value. The conversation template defines a state machine for an automated conversation, the conversation template specifying a variable to which the participant response is to be written.

Abstract: A method, a computing device, and a computer program product are provided. An interceptor hub application executing on a first computing device receives, via a network, a request for multiple services from a first service-consuming application executing on a second computing device. The multiple services execute on at least one other computing device and are accessible via the first computing device via the network. The interceptor hub application sends a respective request to each of the requested services executing on a corresponding one of the at least one other computing device. A respective service response from the each of the respective services is received by the interceptor hub application, which provides each of the respective responses in a combined service response to the first service-consuming.
