  • Publication number: 20230069077
    Abstract: Aggregating user access privileges across various third-party data sources and intelligently managing query request quotas delegated by the data sources to users having access privileges. Query requests are received from users and in response determining that the user (i) has been granted access privileges to an identified data source responsive to the query and (ii) has available query requests from their specific allocated amount of query request quota, the query request is authorized for submission to the data source that is responsive to the query. Intelligent management of query request quotas includes determining query request quota allotments for each user including adjusting query request quotas when users have been identified as requiring an increase or decreasing in quota allotment.

  • Publication number: 20210367999
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for processing analyte data. In some example implementations, a method may include receiving, at a first processing system including a user interface, an installation package including a plug-in and code configured to provide at the first processing system an interface between a sensor system configured to measure an analyte concentration level in a host and a second processing system; storing, by the first processing system, the installation package in a location based on a role of a user initiating the installation of the code; installing the plug-in for the user interface to enable the plug-in to control one or more aspects of an installation of the code; and initiating, by at least the plug-in, the installation of the code at the first processing system to provide the interface. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140331380
    Abstract: A fashion clothing accessory is adjustable, and may be removable or permanent. Two ornamental members have fastening mechanisms for attachment to the clothing at discrete areas thereon, and are attached or attachable to two flexible elongate members that can be secured together at different possible intermediate points therealong using an adjustment mechanism. With the accessory attached to the clothing, the mechanism provides adjustments to both the accessory and clothing by changing its position on the flexible members in order to pull the ornamental members closer together or allow them to drift further apart. The adjustment mechanism may also feature ornamental elements. In addition to this function of changing the appearance and fit of clothing, the ornamental elements provide additional style.

  • Publication number: 20070143792
    Abstract: An extensible mechanism for storage and interchange of objects is described herein. According to first aspect of the disclosure, objects having respective class definitions are received. The objects are represented in an interchange format by mapping the class definitions of the objects to corresponding fields defined within the interchange format. According to a second aspect of the disclosure, the objects are loaded into a persistent store by mapping the class definitions of the objects to corresponding fields of the store. According to at least a third aspect of the disclosure, a data structure for a unique identifier element is described, along with processes using the unique identifier element to determine whether to update an existing object in the store, or to create a new object in the store.
