Abstract: A folding comb including two distinct comb segments that are pivotally connected to one another for independent deployment. Each comb segment has a plurality of different size and directional orientation teeth to accommodate different hair types and styles in a compact configuration. An interlocking hub hinge provides locked closed and locked open position orientation of the comb segments for use.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable mediums for facilitating electronic analysis of medication related data and providing detailed analysis in a comprehensible format for access by ordinary, non-expert individuals (“the disclosed technology”). Briefly described, the disclosed technology includes processing and aggregating, from different data sources, laboratory data (e.g., DNA test results), medication data (e.g., list of medications), and/or medical history data, analyzing the different data to create medication pathway mappings associated with a patient's medical profile, and delivering, to the patient, real-time detailed analysis of adverse drug interactions and/or adverse prescribed treatments based on the medication pathway mappings.

Abstract: A messaging application provides a user interface through which a user is presented a view of messages related to a selected contact. The message application processes messages based on contacts related to the messages. A user can select a contact and view the messages related to that contact. In a view of messages related to a contact, messages can be organized by threads, which include a plurality of messages from multiple entities. This view is generated based in part on a parameter of a message in each thread that is related to the selected contact. The threads can be ordered based on the last message in each thread from the selected contact. When selecting and displaying only unread messages, the system reveals threads which contain unread messages from the selected contact. A list of contacts that are frequent participants in messages can be identified automatically and set as favorites.

Abstract: Various embodiments can utilize a distributed solution for scheduling connections between peers in a file sharing environment. In accordance with at least some embodiments, individual nodes in a peer-to-peer system include scheduling software that enables the nodes to make scheduling decisions with regard to how, when and where connections are made with other peers. Scheduling decisions can be based on a number of different parameters. In at least some embodiments, a synchronization negotiation manager is embodied with logic that drives the negotiation and scheduling process. This logic is represented by an innovative state machine that is designed to implement the negotiation and synchronization process.

Abstract: Security provisions are described which determine whether or not executable content is likely to perform undesirable actions. The security provisions assess that an executable content item poses an acceptable risk when it conforms to an allow list of predetermined patterns of permissible behavior. The security provisions find exemplary use in the context of an instant messaging environment, where participants can consume and propagate executable content in the course of conducting a communication session. Supplemental rules are described which prevent malicious code from subverting the allow list design paradigm.

Abstract: A method, medium, and computer-program product is provided for tracking memory-usage characteristics of an application. The invention includes a suite of tools to evaluate memory usage of uninstrumented binaries by tracking memory allocations, deallocations, and in-memory-presence attributes at the module level. Memory-manipulation function calls (not limited to allocations and deallocations) are hijacked to code segments that annotate and log then-current memory characteristics. Processing is reverted back to its from-hijacked position and allowed to continue. In-memory presence of allocated memory and labels for certain points at time are tracked as well. The tracked data is logged so that algorithms can be run to extract desired information, which can be presented in various reports.
