Abstract: A system, method and computer program for a scanning service is presented. A scanning service compatible with a cloud storage system is configured to receive notifications from a cloud storage service about storage event activity and to access data in the cloud storage service. The scanning service receives a notification regarding storage activity related to a file in the data. After the completion of the storage activity, the scanning service receives the file from the cloud storage service and scans the file. When a determination is made based on the scan that at least a portion of the file should not be distributed then an action is taken with respect to the cloud storage service based on the determination that at least a portion of the file should not be distributed.

Abstract: An electronic device including a thermistor and a thin-film bias reference resistor in a voltage divider configuration integrated into a single die and a method of fabricating the same. In an example, the electronic device comprises a substrate including an n-well region, a thermistor formed in the n-well region, and a thin-film resistor operable as a bias resistor connected in series to the thermistor, the thin-film resistor formed in a region of the substrate isolated from the n-well region.

Abstract: A hybrid, high-power, bidirectional DC to DC converter includes switches between a delta-wye configuration and a straight interleaved configuration. In this way, the converter can operate in a delta-wye configuration for low to mid-current input applications and in a straight interleaved configuration for high-current applications. This allows the converter to have high efficiency while maintaining a small size for a wide range of applications.

Abstract: Active agent-containing articles, for example fibrous structures, that exhibit consumer acceptable article in-use properties, such as article peel strength, flexibility, and/or dissolvability, and methods for making same are provided.

Abstract: A bund system for the retention of solid or liquid or pourable waste material; bunds of the bund system comprising retaining structures; the retaining structures including at least one vertical structural element relative a base; the base covering a portion of a ground surface; the bunds maintained in a selected position on the ground surface by interaction of the retaining elements with a mass of compacted material.

Abstract: A system and a method include a container configured to retain one or more liquids. A liquid level sensor is disposed within the container. The liquid level sensor is configured to transmit and receive light including a first light component and a second light component into the container retaining the one or more liquid. A control unit is in communication with the liquid level sensor. The control unit is configured to determine a level of the one or more liquids within the container based on a comparison of the first light component in relation to the second light component.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for tracking fiber optic shaping. In some implementations, a server obtains optical signals reflected through a fiber, the fiber comprising one or more embedded sensors and a nano-magnetometer embedded at a distal location of the fiber. The server determines a frequency shift of each of the reflected optical signals, the frequency shift imparted on the reflected optical signals by the one or more embedded sensors. The server determines a phase shift of each of the reflected optical signals, the phase shift imparted on the reflected optical signals by the nano-magnetometer. The server determines characteristics of the fiber using the determined frequency and the phase shift of each of the reflected optical signals, the characteristics comprises a shape of the fiber and a location of the fiber in relation to an external reference.

Abstract: A system and a method include a container configured to retain one or more liquids. A liquid level sensor is disposed within the container. The liquid level sensor includes a plurality of sensing elements configured to sense a level of the one or more liquids within the container. In at least one example, the sensing elements are optical fibers.

Abstract: A fabric and home care composition comprising anionic detersive surfactant, protease enzyme and cationic modified polysaccharide.

Abstract: Active agent-containing articles, for example fibrous structures, that exhibit consumer acceptable article in-use properties, such as flexibility, article dimensions, and/or dissolvability, and product-shipping assemblies for containing the same are provided.

Abstract: A method of making a non-fibrous laundry detergent sheet can include dispensing a microcapsule onto a precursor non-fibrous laundry detergent sheet, wherein the precursor non-fibrous laundry detergent sheet can include: (a) at least one surfactant; (b) at least one film former; and (c) a thickness ranging from 0.1 mm to 10 mm.
