Abstract: A data processing system for processing requests for features at a file collaboration platform implements receiving, at the file collaboration platform, a request from a client device to invoke a requested service on one or more files, wherein the requested service is associated with a feature provided by the file collaboration platform; determining a current operating status of the file collaboration platform; obtaining a feature-specific policy associated with the feature associated with the request; determining whether the requested service is allowed by the file collaboration platform based on the current operating status of the file collaboration platform and the feature-specific policy associated with the feature; allocating capacity to the request at the file collaboration platform for performing the request responsive to determining that the requested service is allowed; and sending a first message to the client device indicating that the client device may invoke the requested service.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and software for implementing runtime experiments with user interface configurations. In at least one implementation, an online application service receives access requests associated with various client applications attempting to access the online application service. In response to the access requests, the online application service communicates with an experiment control service to identify an experimental configuration in accordance with which to present a user interface to the online application service. The experiment control service selects the experimental configuration from various experimental configurations. The user interface is then presented in accordance with the experimental configuration identified for each of the client applications.

Abstract: Unlock screen and notification techniques are described. In an implementation, an unlock screen is displayed by a mobile communications device that indicates that the mobile communications device is locked. If an input is detected to remove the lock by dragging across a Y-axis of the display device, an animation is displayed that gives an appearance that the unlock screen is being removed and the lock on the mobile communications device is removed.

Abstract: Notification techniques are described. In an implementation, an unlock screen is displayed by a mobile communications device that indicates that one or more keys of the mobile communications device are locked. If an input is detected at the mobile communications device to remove the lock, an animation is displayed that gives an appearance that the unlock screen is a page that is being turned and removing the lock of the one or more keys.

Abstract: Social network notifications are described. In implementations, a notification is received at a client device from a social network service that includes content that is posted for access via the social network service and includes an identifier of an originator of the posting. The notification is output by the client device to include the content from the posting and the identifier of the originator of the posting.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable a device to utilize environmental state information and/or application state information to determine an appropriate response to received input. In at least some embodiments, a device receives input, obtains environmental information and/or application state information of the device, and evaluates input validity. Based upon the evaluated information and input, the device can behave in a manner that ignores the input, allows execution of associated operations, and or modifies the resultant behavior.

Abstract: One embodiment may be practiced computing environment including a web page server. The embodiment includes a method of optimizing delivering of web page content resources. The method includes referencing script source code to identify a web page content resource to be delivered to a web page client. A configuration file is referenced to determine that the identified resource should be combined with additional resources and sent as a single file to the web page client. The identified resource is combined with the additional resources into a single combined file. The single file is delivered to the web page client.

Abstract: A system, apparatus and method are described for recording, processing, measuring and transmitting electrical data relating to audible signals originating from within a human body. Acoustic signals originating from a human body are detected by a hand-held device that converts these acoustic signals into corresponding electrical signals. Within the housing of this hand-held device, these signals are processed in the electrical domain, such as filtering, amplifying, storing and analyzing, so that they may be provided in a preferred output format. In certain embodiments of the invention, a speaker on the device housing outputs audible signals relating to the detected inner-body acoustic signals. In other embodiments, a port is provided that outputs electrical signals which may be transmitted over a connection to a distant remote device or stored on a computing device external to the hand-held device.

Abstract: A multifunctional pure water maker includes a main body and a reverse osmosis module. The main body includes a base portion and a column extending from the base portion. A water container is removably placed on the base portion. A control cap is pivotally attached to the column and includes a compartment in an underside thereof. An outlet pipe is mounted in the control cap and has an end communicated with the reverse osmosis module. Water purified by the reverse osmosis module flows through the other end of the outlet pipe into the water container when the control cap is in a closed position covering an opening of the water container. A limit switch is mounted in the control cap such that the reverse osmosis module is activated to proceed with production of pure water when the control cap is moved to the closed position and that the reverse osmosis module is deactivated when the control cap is moved to an open position.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining directionality of acoustic signals arriving from an acoustic source is disclosed. A plurality of reflectors for modifying the acoustic signals and a transducer located proximate to the reflectors is used. A notch detector detects and identifies spectral notches in the modified acoustic signals. A device then determines the direction of the acoustic source. In one embodiment, a microphone system capable of detecting three-dimensional sound is provided. The microphone system comprises an elliptical-shaped microphone enhancer having at least two reflectors located different distances apart from a microphone located in the center of the ellipse. The reflectors have asymmetric ridges which cause interference patterns in the signals received by the microphone, conceptually analogous to the patterns generated by the pinnae of the human ear.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing signal processing using incongruent buffers. According to one method described, a maximum concurrent run length (MCRL) is calculated to indicate the maximum run length before any of a plurality of buffers is exhausted. Processing data for each of the plurality of incongruent buffers is then repeated until the maximum concurrent run length has been reached. The calculation of the MCRL may be a determination of which of the plurality of buffers has a lowest remaining time before buffer exhaustion or the least number of remaining buffer entries. A system described includes a processor coupled to memory. The memory contains a plurality of buffer counters and a plurality of memory blocks defining a plurality of incongruent buffers. The memory also contains a MCRL calculation routine for determining the MCRL count from the buffer counters. A data processing routine repeats manipulations of data in the incongruent buffers until the MCRL count is reached.

The digital filter is constructed using the encoded magnitude components and encoded phase components from the memory.

Abstract: A radiopaque tell-tale filament is disposed between two plies of a multi-ply surgical sponge in the quadrangular area defined by the stitched or folded edges of the sponge and an inwardly disposed continuous stitch. The ends of the tell-tale are embedded in the stitching but the intermediate portion of the filament is otherwise freely disposed in the quadrangular area.
