Abstract: Techniques include transferring control of a device from a provider entity to a user and transferring control of the device from the user to the provider entity.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes selection of a control mode for a device and transitions for a control mode for the device. Transitions between control modes may be based on a likelihood that a current control mode will become unavailable.

Abstract: Implementations described herein provide systems and methods for a non-interruptive software update for a device. In one implementation, a software update for a critical node of a node system network of a controller of the device is detected. The node system network utilizes a publisher-subscriber framework. The software update is installed, and the critical node continues to operate in the publisher-subscriber framework during the software update. The software update creates an updated node. The updated node is subscribed to the publisher-subscriber framework, and the critical node is replaced with the updated node within the publisher-subscriber framework by switching subscriber information from the critical node to the updated node.

Abstract: A data processing engine for an automated mass spectrometry system is provided that identifies analyte and spike peak locations in spectral data based upon mass spectrometer tunings and solution identities. The data processing engine calculates analyte concentrations based upon spectral responses at the identified peak locations.
