Abstract: Improved compilers recognize interception declarations in source code, and emit code that replaces invocations of specified artifacts with invocations of specified interceptors instead. Source generators proactively modify program behavior in arbitrary desired ways without introducing hidden security violations and without requiring edits by the program's developers. Interception declarations are visible in source code and development tools. In some cases, different invocations of a particular method at respective locations are intercepted by different replacement methods. Replacement methods have identical signatures, or are otherwise compatible. Some interceptors specify optional parameters. Method calls, field accesses, and property calls may be intercepted. Work to modify program behavior is moved in the program lifecycle from runtime to compile time, thus improving runtime performance and eliminating JIT compilation security risks.

Abstract: An automated damping system including a damping device arranged and disposed to provide variable resistance to a load. The variable resistance provides resistance values corresponding to a displacement position of the damping device. The system includes a damping profile generator that calculates a damping profile and a sensor is arranged and disposed to measure one or more damping affecting properties. The sensor provides the one or more damping affecting properties to the damping profile generator. The damping profile provides the variable resistance based upon the one or more damping affecting properties of the load.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing a dynamically weighted unobserved component model (“DW-UCM”) in a demand forecasting engine of a data analytics system. Dynamic weighting is performed based on a machine learning framework that includes tools, interfaces, and a library for developing improved machine learning models (e.g., dynamic demand forecasting models) of a dynamic weighting machine learning pipeline. In particular, the dynamic weighting machine learning pipeline can include a first module that is configured to predict if a segment (e.g., travel segment) under evaluation is open or closed (e.g., due to a restriction or rule), a second module that forecasts near-term recovery (e.g., approx. 0 - 4 weeks), and a third module that predicts longer term recovery.

Abstract: A method of using a cutting blade on a portable band saw. The method includes the step of providing a portable band saw. A cutting blade is provided which includes at least one tooth that has a linear rake face with a positive rake face angle transitioning uninterruptedly from a tip of said cutting tooth into a single radius to define a portion of said cutting tooth. The portable band saw is used to cut and object with the cutting blade of the portable band saw in a single continuous linear cut direction.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for determining a concentration of a glycopeptide antibiotic containing a phenol moiety such as Vancomycin in a complex sample matrix by extracting the glycopeptide antibiotic from a metered portion of the complex sample matrix by exposing said metered portion to an extraction material having an affinity with the glycopeptide antibiotic; and exposing the extraction material to a metered portion of an eluent for releasing the glycopeptide antibiotic from the extraction material; and by determining a concentration of the glycopeptide antibiotic by adding a Gibbs reagent (2,6 dichloroquinone-4-chloroimide) to the metered portion of the complex sample matrix or the eluent; activating the Gibbs reagent and, after the reaction between the activated Gibbs reagent and the antibiotic has stabilized; detecting the reaction product of the activated Gibbs reagent and the antibiotic in said eluent; and determining the concentration of the antibiotic in the complex sample matrix from the
