Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for updating planogram data associated with a facility. The planogram may indicate, for different shelves and other inventory locations within the facility, which items are on which shelves. For example, the planogram data may indicate that a particular item is located on a particular shelf. Therefore, when a system identifies that a user has taken an item from that shelf, the system may update a virtual cart of that user to indicate addition of the particular item. In some instances, however, a new item may be stocked on the example shelf instead of a previous item. The techniques described herein may use sensor data generated in the facility to identify this change and update the planogram data to indicate an association between the shelf and the new item.

Abstract: A self-generating power supply apparatus includes a power generating body, an energy harvester, and a power consumer. The power generating body generates an electromagnetic field when a force is applied, an energy of the electromagnetic field is received by the energy harvester and subsequently transferred to the power consumer; or alternatively, the energy harvester is not provided and the energy of the electromagnetic field is directly received and used by the power consumer. The energy of the electromagnetic field is harvested by the energy harvester contacting or not contacting the power generating body, and then is converted into electrical energy, which is transferred out in a wired or wireless manner to enable self-generating power supply for the apparatus. The self-generating power supply apparatus has an immeasurable impact on the development in the fields such as wearable devices, small mobile communication devices, Internet of Things, new energy etc.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer-readable storage media for uncorrectable memory recovery. Different sources of uncorrectable memory error are handled to provide for recovery actions by a host kernel of a machine hosting one or more virtual machines. Rather than defaulting to kernel panic behavior, the host kernel can identify the source of uncorrectable error, and cause the host machine and/or the affected virtual machines to take recovery action that is less disruptive than abrupt shutdown from panic. For example, the host kernel can handle uncorrectable memory error caused by kernel accesses to guest memory of a host virtual machine, as well as uncorrectable memory error improperly raised as a result of known defects in host machine hardware. The host kernel can also be configured to detect sources of overflow in exceptions raised by a processor as a result of uncorrectable memory error.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for implementing visual content previews for content items associated with a software application. The content preview includes a visual preview of a content item that is updated based on modifications to the application source code. The content preview includes a plurality of viewports, with each viewport being independently controllable. Each viewport of the content preview can be “paused” to prevent the viewport from updating in response to modifications of the source code, while the content previews associated with other viewports are modified with modification to the source code. In this way, a developer can visually compare different versions of a content item when developing content in the preview application. The device displays a bounding volume concurrently with the content preview to visually depict a relationship between the size of content item and the three-dimensional size of a three-dimensional environment associated with the software application.

Abstract: The present invention provides improved methods of protein purification using CEX chromatography. Such methods generally comprise the steps of: contacting a protein of interest (e.g., an antibody) with a cation exchange resin at a first pH, that is less than the pI of the most acidic isoform of the protein of interest, such that the protein of interest binds to the resin; washing the cation exchange resin at a second pH that is greater than the first pH, but less than the pI of the most acidic isoform of the protein of interest; and eluting the protein of interest from the resin at a third pH that is about equal to or less than the first pH. The methods of the invention are particularly useful for the commercial purification of recombinant therapeutic proteins (e.g., antibodies).
