Abstract: An address rotation system detects a trigger to initiate rotation of location information of an origin server that provides content to be served by a content delivery service. In response to the trigger, the address rotation system identifies an active networking route of the content delivery service and obtains, from the route, an assigned first name of the origin server and a first network address in a name service. The address rotation system replaces the first network address with a second network address and updates the name service to resolve a second name to the second network address. The address rotation system updates the content delivery service with the second name to allow the content delivery service to use the second name to obtain the second network address and access the origin server.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an autonomous vehicle and associated interface system that includes multiple vehicle interface computing devices that provide redundant vehicle commands. As one example, an autonomous vehicle interface system can include a first vehicle interface computing device located within the autonomous vehicle and physically coupled to the autonomous vehicle. The first vehicle interface computing device can provide a first plurality of selectable vehicle commands to a human passenger of the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle interface system can further include a second vehicle interface computing device that provides a second plurality of selectable vehicle commands to the human passenger. For example, the second vehicle interface computing device can be the passenger's own device (e.g., smartphone). The second plurality of selectable vehicle commands can include at least some of the same vehicle commands as the first plurality of selectable vehicle commands.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to antisense oligomers and related compositions and methods for inducing exon inclusion as a treatment for glycogen storage disease type II (GSD-II) (also known as Pompe disease, glycogenosis II, acid maltase deficiency (AMD), acid alpha-glucosidase deficiency, and lysosomal alpha-glucosidase deficiency), and more specifically relates to inducing inclusion of exon 2 and thereby restoring levels of enzymatically active acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) protein encoded by the GAA gene.

Abstract: To reduce the time, cost, and computational resources associated with writing to and reading from a non-volatile memory device multiple times, log data is stored in volatile memory of a computing device. The host device includes a file system that receives the log data from an application when the application sends an instruction to write the log data to the file system. Once the log data is stored in volatile memory, device data indicative of the rate at which log data is received by and transmitted from the computing device, and an amount of unused memory or other computational resources of the computing device, may be used to determine which services are permitted to access the log data, and whether to provide access to all of the log data or only a portion of the log data based on a sampling rate.

Abstract: A method of providing a salt solution at a wellbore site includes delivering solid salt in a mixing tank containing water from a local source and pumping the water through nozzles in the mixing tank using a pump adjacent to the mixing tank to circulate the water in the mixing tank and form a concentrated brine by dissolving the solid salt in the water. The concentrated brine is transferred from the mixing tank to a reservoir using the pump, and the concentrated brine is diluted with additional water from the local source to form a dilute brine. A related mixing tank and a system including the mixing tank and a vehicle structured and configured for travel over a roadway and within an oilfield site.
