Abstract: A computer-implemented method for simulating web traffic to sandbox-test a new digital content platform service or feature. For example, implementations described herein identify and clone live production traffic from a first route including an existing digital content service. The implementation further forks the cloned production traffic along a second route to a new digital content service. By monitoring and correlating production responses from both the first and second routes, the implementations described herein can analyze and compare performance, accuracy, and correctness of the new digital content service to determine whether the new digital content service can handle live production traffic at scale. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and device that replicates data and provides instantaneous access to data includes receiving in a destination volume one or more named data extents and one or more references to the one or more named data extents associated with a file in parallel from a source volume. A determination is made to check whether the one or more references arrive before the one or more named data extents arrive. Each of the received one or more references which are determined to have arrived prior to the one or more data extents is allocated as absent by the storage management computing device. An instantaneous access to the file is provided during the allocation.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a subtitle conformance application causes modifications to a subtitle list based on changes associated with an audiovisual program. In operation, the subtitle conformance application performs comparison operation(s) between versions of a subtitle template to identify changes to subtitles associated with the audiovisual program. The subtitle conformance application then determines a mapping between a first change included in the changes and a subtitle list associated with the audiovisual program. Finally, the subtitle conformance application causes the subtitle list to be modified based on the first change and the mapping. Advantageously, the subtitle conformance application enables productive development of subtitles to begin before the audiovisual program is finalized.

Abstract: A data container replication method and system are provided. The data container includes a plurality of entries and is replicated from a source module to a destination module. The data container may be a directory that includes a plurality of files. Before replicating the directory, it is determined if the source module and the destination module use a same directory version and directory layout. If the directory version and layout are the same, then the entire directory is replicated “as is” without evaluating every directory entry. If the directory version or the directory layout is different, then each directory entry is evaluated, before being replicated.

Abstract: A method of promoting tissue adhesion to reinforce tissue apposition that may include collecting a first tissue portion, collecting a second tissue portion, placing one or more tissue securement devices through the first and second tissue portions, tightening the one or more tissue securement devices to approximate the first and second tissue portions, and placing a fixation agent between the first and second tissue portions. The method promotes tissue adhesion between one or more portions of tissue, wherein the tissue adhesion may reinforce a tissue apposition.

Abstract: A technique that provides the ability to copy or move a volume that includes one or more quota structures, by using logical replication, where the volume and any quota structures in it are immediately accessible upon completion of the copy/move operation, and where the quota structures' usage control functionality is immediately functional and reliable upon completion of the copy/move operation. A user does not have to reinitialize the quota mechanism or invoke a quota scanner at the destination.

Abstract: A stabilized semi-solid delivery vehicle contains a polyorthoester and an excipient, and a pharmaceutical composition contains an active agent, optionally a stabilizing agent, and the delivery vehicle. The pharmaceutical composition may be a topical, syringable, or injectable formulation; and is suitable for local delivery of the active agent. Methods of treatment are also disclosed.

Abstract: Described are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for automated testing of a handheld device over a network. A first predefined test is executed on a handheld device to generate a first element with a first predefined value for a first parameter associated with the first element and the first element is transmitted over a communication network to a desktop computing device. Receipt of the first element is verified at the desktop computing device. Also verified is that the first parameter associated with the first element has the first predefined value.

Abstract: A quick release lug system for musical drums. The assembly utilized by the present invention uniquely allows a user to remove a drumhead quickly, dispensing with the need to unscrew multiple tuning rodes. Thus, the assembly of the present invention allows for more efficient transport, assembly and disassembly of drums than previously available, and does so in a manner that maintains the integrity of the traditional tuning system.
