Abstract: Launching data stores when new computing infrastructure is deployed is described. A proxy data storage service may be provided that receives instances of an application programming interface (API) call to store data and determines one of a first data store or a second data store to store the data. For instance, in response to receipt of a first instance of the API call, the proxy data storage service may store data in a first data store. However, after a provisioning of the second data store, the proxy data storage service may store data in the second data store in response to receipt of a second instance of the API call. In an instance in which the data stored in the second data store also exists in the first data store, the data is deleted from the first data store until an eventual migration of data is achieved.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing platinum nanoparticle solution and a self-assembled platinum counter electrode thereof. The present invention adopts a polyol reduction method and controls the reduction reaction periods under various pH conditions. After the platinum nanoparticle dispersion solution of uniformly distributed platinum nanoparticles having small sizes is produced, the self-assembled platinum nanoparticles are adsorbed on a functionalized surface of a conductive substrate by dip coating at the normal temperature. Therefore, the structure of a platinum nanoparticle monolayer is formed, to obtain the self-assembled platinum counter electrode with a homogeneous single layer on the surface. This process is much simpler without adding any stabilizers or surfactants, without involving any subsequent heat treatments, and it consumes less amount of the platinum material.
