Abstract: A system capacitively senses a swiping motion to a touch sensitive display, determines a length associated with the swiping motion to the touch sensitive display, and displays a menu of options based on the length associated with the swiping motion. The system capacitively senses inputs to the touch sensitive display that correspond to selections from the menu, determines probabilities associated with the options, and modifies the menu based on the probabilities.

Abstract: According to embodiments, a multi-node database management system allows consumer processes (“consumers”) implementing a portion of a distributed data-combination operation to independently send a STOP notification to corresponding producer processes (“producers”). Upon a given consumer determining that the consumer requires no further information from corresponding producers, the consumer sends a STOP notification to the producers. When a given consumer sends out a STOP notification, the producers drop any data destined for the given consumer and also stops preparing data for and sending rows to the given consumer. Furthermore, once the producers receive STOP notifications from all of the consumers corresponding to the producers, the producers stop the current sub plan execution immediately without requiring completion of the sub plan.

Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for detecting a layout table by a screen reader. Information regarding a document being displayed by an application is received from an application programming interface of a user interface automation system that provides information regarding user interface elements of application and/or the application. The information includes an indication that the document comprises a table. A determination is made as to whether the table is a data table or a layout table based upon the received information using a rule-based heuristic. When it is determined that the table is a layout table, presentation information associated with the layout table can be skipped over, and, cell data content within the layout table provided. Thus, for a determined layout table, the system and method allow the screen reader to act as if the containing table doesn't exist, but still read the content.

A relationship builder is implemented that is configured to build a relationship network amongst potential users and resource interaction opportunity providers and subsequently use the indirect relationships provided by the network as a basis for determining which resource interaction opportunity providers should provide resource interaction opportunities to the potential users.

Abstract: An exhaust system includes a first exhaust after-treatment system receiving exhaust gases generated by an engine, a second exhaust after-treatment system downstream of the first exhaust after-treatment system, and at least one bypass connecting an engine outlet to an inlet to the second exhaust after-treatment system. A turbocharger is associated with the bypass and a bypass valve is located upstream of the turbocharger. The bypass valve is moveable between an open position to bypass exhaust gas flow to the first exhaust after-treatment system, a closed position to direct all exhaust gas flow to the first exhaust after-treatment system, and a partially open position where one portion of exhaust gas flow is directed into the first exhaust after-treatment system and a remaining portion of exhaust gas flow is directed into the turbocharger. A controller controls movement of the bypass valve between the open, closed, and partially open positions.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for executing simulated failure scenarios on a computing system using natural language inputs in a domain-specific language. Embodiments includes receiving a failure scenario definition, which may be a natural language input identifying target systems in a distributed computing system, properties, and an expected outcome of a simulated system failure. Commands directed to the identified target systems to simulate a system failure on the identified systems according to the identified properties are generated and transmitted to the identified target systems for execution. The outcome of the simulated system failure is monitored, recorded, and compared to the expected outcome of the simulated system failure. Upon determining that the recorded outcome and expected outcome of the simulated system failure differ, an alert identifying a difference between the recorded outcome and the expected outcome is generated.

Abstract: A vehicle exhaust system includes a mixer housing that has a doser opening and defines an internal mixing chamber. A doser injects fluid into the mixer housing through the doser opening. A flow passage has an inlet end positioned adjacent the doser opening and an outlet end open to the mixing chamber. At least one heating device associated with the flow passage.

Abstract: A system and method may reduce the costs associated with adding or editing configuration elements for an API. A generic schema for the API codebase may keep the configuration definitions flexible and associations between various configuration definitions may also be saved within the codebase. New configuration instances may then be created using the definition of the configuration. Since the definition of the configuration is saved in a codebase, updating the definition or adding a new definition will not require going through the cycle of requirement analysis, coding, and testing. Once the definition is updated, the application code may appropriately mark the difference between the configuration instance and its definition and it will utilize the new definition to create instances of the new configuration.

The method includes receiving an encrypted data packet including a first passcode and credentials in encrypted form, and a second passcode. The second passcode is compared to a first passcode. If the passcodes match, then a server computer can transmit a token associated with the credentials to a service provider computer.
