Abstract: This disclosure relates to a messaging system that can generate, store, and share groups of display columns associated with a user account, where each group may include a single display column or two or more display columns. A method may include rendering a first group of display columns of a messaging platform on a user interface associated with a first computing device, transmitting group creation data for creating a second group of display columns of the messaging platform, rendering a list identifying the first group of display columns and the second group of display columns, and rendering, in response to selection of the second group from the list, the second group of display columns on the user interface.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating virtual garment fitting includes a client module for executing a three-dimensional (3D) scan of a user's body, generating a 3D model of the user's body, and transmitting the 3D model to a web server, receiving and viewing a virtual fitting that shows a particular garment on a physical life-size model based on the 3D model, wherein the system also includes an adjustable life-size model of human bodies and a web server module for receiving the 3D model of the user's body, interfacing with the adjustable life-size model and adjusting the physical life-size model based on the 3D model, generating a virtual fitting that shows a particular garment on the physical life-size model based on the 3D model and transmitting the virtual fitting to the client module over a communications network.

Abstract: A wearable vegetable collecting device includes a main body that is configured to be worn on a hand, wrist or arm, and a receptacle attached to the main body at an attachment area of the main body, the receptacle includes an opening whereby a vegetable can be deposited in the receptacle.

Abstract: An example social media messaging system may include a capability for a user to edit messages after the messages have been posted to the messaging system. The capability is implemented in a manner that preserves the immutability of messages that are posted to the messaging system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the automation of incubation, processing, harvesting and analysis of samples in a multi-cell plate. In particular, a multi-cell plate including a body with a plurality of cells is presented. Furthermore, an automated crystal harvesting and processing system with a cutting unit, a fluid unit and a removing device is presented. The multi-cell plate further includes a sealing film for sealing the cells on a first side of the body and a sample film for sealing the cells on a second side of the body. The sample film is adapted for accommodating a biological material for crystallization. Furthermore, the sample film is of a thickness and composition that makes it compatible with x-rays and also with laser ablation. The design of the multi-cell plate and the automated crystal harvesting and processing system allows for several steps of incubation, processing, harvesting and analysis of the samples to be automated.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for styling elements of a web document at a time of rendering the web document. In one embodiment, a method comprises: performing steps on a processor. The steps comprise: identifying a rule associated with a property of an element of the web document; determining whether the rule is to be grouped with multiple elements of the web document; generating an overriding rule when the rule is associated with multiple elements of the web document; and updating a style sheet based on the overriding rule.

Abstract: The invention presents an evaporation source for transporting chemical precursors to a substrate on which the latter are deposited by means of condensation, formed by a principal tube (1) which houses the precursors in its lower part, and which has heating means (8). An inlet (5) and an outlet (6) for carrier gases is arranged in the upper part of the principal tube (1), said inlet (5) and outlet (6) being located on the lateral surface (7) of the principal tube (1), opposing each other and aligned along a common line which passes transversally through the lateral surface (7) of the principal tube (1). The invention also presents a method of evaporation for transporting chemical precursors in which introducing and extracting the carrier gases from the principal tube (1) is carried out in alignment in a direction transversal to the lateral surface (7) of the latter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the automation of incubation, processing, harvesting and analysis of samples (15) in a multi-cell plate (1). In particular, a multi-cell plate (1) comprising a body (3) with a plurality of cells (5) is presented. Furthermore, an automated crystal harvesting and processing system (21) with a cutting unit (23), a fluid unit (29) and a removing device (33) is presented. The multi-cell plate (1) further comprises a sealing film (7) for sealing the cells (5) on a first side (9) of the body (3) and a sample film (11) for sealing the cells (5) on a second side (13) of the body (3). The sample film (11) is adapted for accommodating a biological material (15) for crystallization. Furthermore, the sample film (11) is of a thickness and composition that makes it compatible with x-rays and also with laser ablation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for reducing browser network requests. One of the methods includes receiving a markup language document. Resource requests in the markup language document are identified and a combined request is generated, the combined request comprising respective resource locations for the resource requests. The combined request is provided to a requesting service. A combined response is received from the requesting service, the combined response comprising representations of one or more respective resources for the plurality of resource requests. The resource requests are resolved using the representations of the one or more resources of the combined response, and a rendered document is generated from the markup language document and the resolved resource requests of the markup language document.
