Abstract: A breath capture and analysis system includes a breath inlet for capturing a user's breath. The breath is drawn into the system and retained for analysis. The system includes a membrane that allows volatile organic compounds contained in the breath to pass therethrough. The volatile organic compounds pass into a vacuum chamber that includes a residual gas analyzer that is configured to analyze the volatile organic compounds. The analyzed breath is then vacated from the system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a platform that manages worker users in a temporary staffing environment via an artificial machine learning model. The temporary staffing platform matches available workers to available shifts/gigs. Additional features include generating provisional or near-miss matches and informing workers how to turn those near-misses into full matches, plotting a gig-career path to develop additional skills, gamify development, and automatically generate resumes. The platform generates a set of skill tags associated with each shift/gig performed by the user. Designing of resume text files by the artificial machine learning model includes procedurally generated descriptions of experience the user has based on the recording of each shift/gig performed by the user and the skill tags associated with each recorded shift/gig, wherein a format of the resume text file is formulated by the artificial machine learning model evaluating a mix of skill tags and employers amassed by the user.

Abstract: The following description is directed to a configurable logic platform. In one example, a configurable logic platform includes host logic and a reconfigurable logic region. The reconfigurable logic region can include logic blocks that are configurable to implement application logic. The host logic can be used for encapsulating the reconfigurable logic region. The host logic can include a host interface for communicating with a processor. The host logic can include a management function accessible via the host interface. The management function can be adapted to cause the reconfigurable logic region to be configured with the application logic in response to an authorized request from the host interface. The host logic can include a data path function accessible via the host interface. The data path function can include a layer for formatting data transfers between the host interface and the application logic.

Abstract: A system facilitates real-time user interactions in a virtual environment of a user application accessible by multiple computing devices. System instructions include receiving a set of defined topics including a defined topic from a first computing device of the computing devices. The instructions include receiving, from at least one of the computing devices, data representing machine-readable text converted from a verbal conversation between two or more users in the virtual environment. The instructions include identifying a set of topics from the data representing machine-readable text. The instructions include comparing the identified set of topics from the data representing machine-readable text to the set of defined topics. The instructions include, in response to detecting a match between a topic of the identified set of topics and the defined topic of the set of defined topics, transmitting, to the first computing device, a notification of the matching defined topic.

Abstract: Systems and methods for sender profile and/or recipient profile disambiguation and/or confirmation are disclosed. In instances where a sender profile is not indicated by a user sending a communication from a communal device, heuristic data may be utilized to infer the sender profile. Similar heuristic data may also be used when selection of the sender profile is associated with a low confidence level. Heuristic data may also be used to infer the recipient profile when the user does not indicate the recipient profile or when selection of the recipient profile is associated with a low confidence. Various confirmations may result from the sender and recipient profile disambiguation.

Abstract: A method of treatment of skin tissue with two laser devices of unequal wavelengths comprising the steps of: (1) activating the two laser devices simultaneously to produce two laser beams of unequal wavelength; (2) directing the two laser beams into a handpiece having a distal tip to direct the laser beams onto the skin tissue; (3) directing the two laser beams within the handpiece to an adjustable beam deflector; and, (4) the adjustable beam deflector directing the two laser beams onto the skin tissue to produce a pattern of laser spots simultaneously but separated from one another.

Abstract: Techniques for (i) using contextual information associated with an exposed credential to identify a resource that could be accessed using the exposed credential, (ii) identifying a responsible entity of that resource, and (iii) alerting the responsible entity about the exposed credential are disclosed. A credential is determined to be in an exposed state. The exposed credential, if used, could potentially provide an actor access to a resource, despite the fact that the actor should not have access to the resource. The exposed credential is analyzed to determine a context. Based on that context, the resource is identified. A responsible entity associated with the resource is identified. An alert is then sent to that entity.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying an exposed credential that, if used, would provide access to a resource are disclosed. The techniques enable the resource to remain online while (i) a new credential is allocated for the resource, (ii) the resource is transitioned to using the new credential instead of the exposed credential, and (iii) the exposed credential is attempted to be invalidated. A credential is accessed. This credential is suspected of being in an exposed state. The credential is accessible from within an artifact and is determined to be in the exposed state. A new credential is generated. This new credential is designed to replace the exposed credential. An instruction is transmitted to the resource to cause it to transition from using the exposed credential to using the new credential. The exposed credential is then invalidated.

Abstract: A materialization configuration request is received via a programmatic interface from a client of a journal-based multi-data-store database. The request indicates a partitioning rule to be used to select, for respective writes indicated in committed transaction entries of a journal, the materialization node at which the writes are to be stored. A control plane component of the database verifies that a set of materialization nodes corresponding to the partitioning rule has been established, and initiates the propagation of writes from the journal to the materialization nodes by respective write appliers.
