Abstract: The present invention contains a printing apparatus and a method, e.g., for ejecting inks (i.e., pure liquids, mixtures, colloids, etc.) for a very broad range of physical properties (such as viscosity). Acoustic forces 3a may be generated by an emitter 1 and a reflector 2 to detach droplets 10 from a nozzle 6. The ink may be advanced through the nozzle 6 by a standard back pressure system 5. A reflectorless chamber 7 may enhance acoustic forces 8a and the droplets 10 may be ejected at a bottom 9 of said chamber 7, so that droplets 10 may be deposited on any substrate 11.

Abstract: Tools and techniques are described to detect possible holes in automated testing of software under development. Full line coverage by tests does not necessarily indicate actual coverage of execution scenarios, e.g., condition coverage, decision coverage, and other kinds of execution scenario coverage may be lacking even when all source code statements are nominally covered. When source code changes are submitted, and corresponding test-sets remain unchanged, users are notified that adequate testing is not assured by the current test-set. Testing assurance code in a development tool chain may flag a pull request, test-set, or source code submission to indicate a lack of testing assurance. In some cases, an assurance-enhanced tool may require that new or different tests be provided with updated source code as a prerequisite for that source code to be accepted for inclusion in a repository or a build, for example.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which a system selects a first processor as a master Time of Day (TOD) processor in a first TOD topology in response to determining that the first processor is directed connected to an oscillator. The system then assigns a second processor as an alternate master TOD processor to a second TOD topology based upon determining that the second processor is on a different node than the first processor. The system configures to the first TOD topology and, when the system detects a TOD failure, the system re-configures to the second TOD topology.

Further provided are methods of redesigning a protein pore for a desired pore size. The redesigned protein pores and biomimetic membranes based on these proteins provide high selectivity while maintaining high permeability and have many advantages over existing aquaporin-based membranes.

Abstract: A microscopy system includes a first excitation source configured to emit a one-photon light beam and a second excitation source configured to emit a two-photon light beam. The system also includes a first optical component configured to deliver one or more of a one-photon light sheet and a two-photon light sheet, where the one-photon light sheet is based on the one-photon light beam and the two-photon light sheet is based on the two-photon light beam. The system further includes a single reflective surface at a back focal plane of the first optical component to reflect the one or more of the one-photon light sheet and the two-photon light sheet toward a sample. The single reflective surface rotates about a fixed axis situated at a cross section of the single reflective surface and the back focal plane of the first optical component.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for outputting visual indications regarding voice-based interactions are described. A first speech-controlled device detects spoken audio corresponding to a voice message to a second speech-controlled device. The first device captures the audio and sends audio data corresponding to the captured audio to a server. The server performs speech processing on the audio data to determine a recipient and message content. The server then determines a second speech-controlled device associated with the recipient and sends the message content to the recipient's second speech-controlled device. Thereafter, the server receives an indication from the recipient's speech-controlled device that the second device is detecting speech, presumably in response to the original message. The server then causes a visual indication to be output by the first speech-controlled device, with the visual indication representing the recipient-speech controlled device is detecting speech.
