Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating efficient retrieval of diagnostic information from a computing endpoint that experiences a failure condition. For example, systems described herein may detect or otherwise identify a failure condition associating with the computing endpoint operating in an erroneous or unpredictable matter. Systems described herein may involve carving out a portion of memory on the computing endpoint that is accessible to a host system (e.g., a CPU). Systems described herein may further provide a discoverable resource that enables a host system to identify and collect the diagnostic data in response to identifying a failure condition in an efficient manner and without requiring that the computing endpoint be capable of responding to data requests.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a bottle with a detachable housing and corresponding storage compartment. Indeed, the disclosed bottle can include a receptacle formed within an exterior side surface (or sidewall) or as part of the bottle lid. Within the receptacle, the disclosed bottle can integrate a detachable housing with the bottle via one or more attachment mechanisms (e.g., magnets). For instance, the disclosed bottle attaches the detachable housing to a receptacle sidewall such that the disclosed bottle can maintain a generally uniform profile across the exterior side surface. The detachable housing can include a storage compartment for storing and/or securing one or more items, such as cutlery, medicine, personal hygiene items, etc.

Abstract: A method is for placing an object on a seabed. The method includes connecting the object to at least two vessels by use of a work wire; attaching one or more buoyancy devices to the work wire, to achieve a distributed buoyancy of the work wire that forms a double curvature which disassociates at least some vessel movement from the object, to allow for controlled movement of the object; and co-operating the vessels to move the object into a position in a sea distant from the vessels, to lower the object to the seabed and to place the object on the seabed. Also described is a system for transporting an object to a position in a sea where the water comprises gas bubbles significantly lowering the load-carrying capacity of the water and for lowering the object to an area having a wellbore from which the gas bubbles enter the sea.

Abstract: A system for three-dimensional imaging includes a plurality of three-dimensional imaging cameras. A first camera and a second camera may have integration times that are interleaved with the readout time of the other camera to limit interference while increasing framerate and throughput.

Abstract: Techniques to apply and share remote policies on personal devices are described. In an embodiment, a technique includes contacting an enterprise server from an enterprise application operating on a personal device. The enterprise application may receive policies from the enterprise server. The policies may be applied to the enterprise application. When a second enterprise application on the personal device is launched, the policies may also be applied to the second enterprise application. When a policy is changed on the enterprise server, notification is pushed to the personal device and all related enterprise applications on the personal device may be updated to enforce the policy change. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A hydrogel composition comprising an alginate polymer and a hyaluronic acid polymer is a useful polymer scaffold for mammalian tissue engineering. To enable cell adhesion, adhesion peptides may be covalently linked to a portion of the alginate and/or hyaluronic acid. This alginate-hyaluronic acid-adhesion peptide hydrogel composition localizes cells and other biological constituents to promote tissue repair at a site of tissue defect, while controlling the speed of gelation and resorption time.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for uniformly and rapidly stacking one or more comestible portions provided on carrier sheets is described. Such carrier sheets are often used as a separator sheet after stacking. In the apparatus of the invention, linear slide platform fingers intermesh with an o-ring acceleration conveyor. The comestible portion and carrier sheet are delivered onto the intermeshed fingers while constantly being driven forward by the acceleration conveyor. As the linear slide pulls the fingers away from the acceleration conveyor, it accelerates rapidly and causes the comestible portion and carrier sheet to engage separator bars which cause the comestible portion and carrier sheet to fall into a uniform stack.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition suitable for use in an ECL assay wherein electromagnetic radiation emitted by the composition is detected. The composition includes an amine or amine moiety which, when oxidized by exposure to an effective amount of electrochemical energy, forms a strong reducing agent in the composition; and an electrolyte capable of functioning as a medium in which an ECL moiety and the amine or amine moiety can be oxidized by exposure to electrochemical energy.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for implementing a page table walker that uses at least one of a default page size and a page size selected for a virtual address space to position a sliding field in a virtual address. According to one aspect of the invention, an apparatus for use in a computer system is provided that includes a page size storage area and a page table walker. The page size storage area is used to store a number of page sizes each selected for translating a different set of virtual addresses. The page table walker includes a selection unit coupled to the page size storage area, as well as a page entry address generator coupled to the selection unit. For each of the virtual address received, the selection unit positions a field in that virtual address based on the page size selected for translating the set of virtual addresses to which that virtual address belongs.
