Abstract: A technique detects latency-related anomalies that occur in performing provisioning actions in a network-accessible computing platform. Illustrative provisioning actions include creating a resource (e.g., a virtual machine), updating the resource, and deleting the resource. The technique operates by detecting and reporting the latency-related anomalies on a service-level granularity. The technique also provides access to operation-level latency-related data to assist in diagnosing the causes of the anomalies. In some implementations, the technique consolidates incidents that potentially reveal a common source of failure into a single report. In some implementations, the technique interacts with a machine-trained language model to confirm whether a reported incident is a false positive which does not warrant further action.

Abstract: The invention introduces a nanoemulsion-based nanocream formulated from green ingredients, designed to improve performance, stability, and sustainability. The nanoemulsion is developed using the low-energy Phase Inversion Temperature (PIT) method, which leverages the system's internal chemical energy to minimize external energy input, protect heat-sensitive compounds, and lower production costs. During PIT, polyethoxylated surfactants, hydrophilic at lower temperatures, become lipophilic when heated as their polyoxyethylene groups dehydrate, triggering phase inversion from oil-in-water (O/W) to water-in-oil (W/O). Rapid cooling with continuous stirring reverts to the O/W phase, causing turbulence and generating a stable nanoemulsion with nano-sized droplets of high uniformity. This nanoemulsion replaces water in the cream's aqueous phase, forming a nanocream that enhances bioactive delivery to the skin.
