Abstract: A system, method and device for ingesting data files into remote computing environments is disclosed. The method includes receiving a plurality of data files and processing same according to a modified round-robin (MRR) process. The MRR assigns data files for processing by determining which of a plurality of remote processors are active, and by determining an amount of queued processing for the active remote processors. The method includes assigning each data file of the plurality of data files to a remote processor of the plurality of remote processors based on the remote processor (1) being active, and (2) having a relatively lower amount of queued processing. The method includes instructing a storage writer to store processed data files.

Abstract: A system, device, and method for ingesting data into a remote computing environment are provided. The example device comprises a processor, a communications module, and a memory. The processor executes instructions on the memory to receive a data file, and extract metadata from the data file. The extracted metadata comprises at least one property of the data file. A configuration file, from a plurality of configuration files, that is associated with the data file is determined. The determination is performed, at least in part, based on correlating the extracted metadata with data file types used by the determined configuration file. The data file is ingested for storage in a remote computing environment based on the determined configuration file.

Abstract: A device, method and system for loading data into a remote computing environment is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request to load a new data set into a remote computing environment, the new data set impacting a data set stored thereon. The method includes identifying one or more changes to a current representation of the data set within the new data set, the one or more changes replacing information in the current representation. The method includes transmitting the identified one or more changes to a data store persisting the current representation. The method includes transmitting the replaced information to a data store persisting a previous representation of the data set. The method includes transmitting other information in the new data set that is determined to be invalid data to a data store persisting an invalid data set associated with the data set.

Abstract: A microfluidic chamber, including: an internal compartment sized and shaped for culturing cells; an external compartment surrounding at least part of the internal compartment, sized and shaped for culturing cells; at least one flow path connecting the internal compartment and the external compartment, sized and shaped to allow penetration of cell extensions from the internal compartment into the external compartment, wherein the internal compartment, the external compartment and the at least one flow path are formed on a base layer of the microfluidic chamber; at least one micro-pattern in the base layer of said microfluidic chamber shaped and sized to align cells cultured in the microfluidic chamber relative to each other.
