Abstract: Examples described herein relate to migrating a virtualized execution environment from a first platform to a second platform while retaining use of namespace identifiers and permitting issuance of storage transactions by the virtualized execution environment. The first platform can include a first central processing unit or a first network interface. The second platform can include a central processing unit that is different that the first central processing unit and a network interface that is the same or different than the first network interface. The second platform can retain access permissions and target media format independent of one or more identifiers associated with the migrated virtualized execution environment at the second platform. Unperformed storage transactions can be migrated to the second platform for execution.

Abstract: Described are street level intelligence platforms, systems, and methods that can include a fleet of swarm vehicles having imaging devices. Images captured by the imaging devices can be used to produce and/or be integrated into maps of the area to produce high-definition maps in near real-time. Such maps may provide enhanced street level intelligence useful for fleet management, navigation, traffic monitoring, and/or so forth.

Abstract: A microfluidic device for detection of an analyte in a fluid is described. The microfluidic device comprises a substrate having a first surface defining entrances to one or more chambers defined in the substrate, surfaces of the chambers defining a second surface of the substrate, the first surface being modified for selective targeting and capture of at least one analyte to operably effect a blocking of the entrance to at least one of the chambers, and wherein a response characteristic of the microfluidic device is operably varied by the blocking of the entrance to the at least one of the chambers, thereby providing an indication of the presence of the analyte within the fluid.

Abstract: A robotic system for manipulating an electrical component between a first location and a second location, the system comprising: a movement element for moving a manipulation tool between the first location and the second location; the manipulation tool having one or more gripping elements for engaging the electrical component by grabbing the electrical component at the first location when the manipulation tool is positioned adjacent to the electrical component; and a testing system for implementing an electronic test of the electrical component while the electrical component is engaged by the manipulation tool, the testing system implementing the electronic test before the manipulation tool releases the electrical component; wherein upon reaching the second location the manipulation tool disengages with the electrical component, thereby reversing said engaging.

Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for releasing an application feature in incremental stages while monitoring the application for anomalies. The feature includes a package of code and an action setting. The methods in some implementations include identifying active devices on which the application has been installed, monitoring the application according to a set of metrics, activating the feature by changing its action setting for a first segment of the active devices, pausing the feature if an anomaly is detected among the set of metrics, and generating a repair ticket. As long as no anomaly is detected, the activating step proceeds for subsequent segments of the active devices, iteratively, until the release is completed. A feature rank may be used to process and release a plurality of features in order of priority.

Abstract: A multi-sensor mounting system and method includes a secondary pipe and an adapter. The secondary pipe comprises a fastening device configured to fix the secondary pipe to the process pipe, and a valve that is switchable between an open state and a closed state. The adapter detachably connects a sensor module to the secondary pipe. The valve allows a sensing probe of the sensor module being inserted into the process pipe in the open state, and to block a fluid flow in the secondary pipe in the closed state, for example, for times when the sensing probe is removed from the secondary pipe.

Abstract: A literacy development device includes a light source that provides a general white illumination area and an adjustable light within the illumination area, both from the same light source. The adjustable light can be changed in shape and color through a LCD screen provided within the device. The device contains a rechargeable battery and various buttons for changing functions, light parameters, and other controls. The device is preferably usable in teaching applications, especially with children and other students with learning and/or attention issues. The device is useful in drawing attention to certain areas of a surface that includes written language, including a letter, a group of letters, a word, or a sentence, through use of the adjustable light to highlight, underline, or otherwise draw visual attention to a particular area of the surface within the illumination area.
