Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for monitoring biological tissue degradation. A container comprises a body having an interior compartment, a lid having an interior surface and a sensing unit configured to obtain data about an environmental condition, the sensing unit in electrical communication with a processing unit. The lid of the container, when coupled to the body, encloses the sensing unit within the interior compartment. The processing unit comprises components in electrical communication, including a processor, a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium, a power source, and an indicator. The storage medium contains instructions that cause the processor to process and store the data, and determine a status, for which the indicator may be configured to display an indication. A method comprises obtaining the container, placing the tissue in the interior compartment, coupling the lid to the body, activating the sensing unit and the processing unit, and observing the indicator.

Abstract: A method and system for selecting network connections in a multi-network environment is described.

Abstract: A method and system for enabling applications to optimize communications in a network environment is described. The method includes determining a set of application parameters for an application on a user device, determining one or more communications pathways coupled to the user device, determining a plurality of pathway parameters associated with each communications pathway, and selecting the communications pathway with pathway parameters that best match the application parameters of the application.

Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a computing system includes a plurality of systems coupled in a distributed infrastructure, and a resource allocator to allocate activities of an application to at least two of the systems. The distributed infrastructure may be a tightly coupled infrastructure and may include a virtualized application environment that emulates a runtime environment of the application, in such an embodiment.
