Abstract: Upon an installation of a new software release at a multitenant computing system, a list of layers of a pre-existing layer strategy in use at the multitenant computing system can be read. As part of the installation of the new release, an updated bottom layer in a repository of the multitenant computing system can also be installed. A target set of software components for a tenant of the multitenant computing system can be determined, for example by reading a metadata definition of the target set for a layer of a repository of the multitenant computing system to which the tenant is assigned. The tenant can be configured consistent with the target set of software components.

Abstract: A level transducer has a power supply module, a tuning fork module, a sensing-phase corrector and a controller. The tuning fork module has a tuning fork, at least one piezoelectric driving element, and at least one piezoelectric sensing element. The at least one piezoelectric driving element and the at least one piezoelectric sensing element are stacked on each other, and are mounted on the tuning fork.

Abstract: A method of preserving cone cells in the eye of a mammal suffering from a retinal degenerative disease comprises isolating from the bone marrow of the mammal a lineage negative hematopoietic stem cell population that includes endothelial progenitor cells, transfecting cells from the stem cell population with a gene that operably encodes an antiangiogenic fragment of human tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase (TrpRS), and subsequently intravitreally injecting the transfected cells into the eye of the mammal in an amount sufficient to inhibit the degeneration of cone cells in the retina of the eye. The treatment may be enhanced by stimulating proliferation of activated astrocytes in the retina using a laser.

Abstract: A message tracking engine facilitates processing of a message through a determined workflow. In particular, the message tracking engine may route the message to various services in an order specified by the workflow. During processing, the message tracking engine tracks the progress of the message through the workflow. If any issues are encountered, the message tracking engine handles the encountered issues. In one aspect, the message tracking engine facilitates performance of one or more synchronous processing steps of the workflow during a first phase. Following the first phase, the message tracking engine serializes one or more asynchronous processing steps of the workflow to a storage device. After serializing the asynchronous processing steps, the message tracking engine facilitates performance of the asynchronous processing steps during a second phase.
