Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for determining a version of an application for a user to access based at least in part an overall posture of the user and the device launching the application. An application can support multiple delivery mechanisms to allow a user different ways to access the service provided by the application. A posture level (e.g., level of risk, level of compliance) associated with the overall posture of a device and user accessing an application is determined. The posture level can be used to select which version of the application should be launched by the device in order to provide the best experience for the user while ensuring that security is considered.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compounds of Formula (Ia) and (Ib): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which are useful in the treatment of an HIV infection in heavily treatment-experienced patients with multidrug resistant HIV infection.

Abstract: A beverage holder is provided. The beverage holder embodies an adjustable tray clamp, an articulating arm, a self-leveling functionality and a plurality of lockable joints for enabling an adaptable stable, level, secure, and a selectively movable holder of a passenger's beverage, thereby enhancing their travel seat and overcoming typical tray space limitations.

Abstract: Techniques described and suggested herein include systems and methods for updating, adding, deleting, managing, and otherwise manipulating instance data across multiple virtual instances in an addressable fashion. For example, a customer may control or otherwise be associated with a fleet of virtual instances running on one or more hosts of a computing resource service provider. The described techniques enable customers, or other entities, to update instance data related to arbitrarily defined groups of the fleet using, e.g., tags or other common identifiers, so as to, e.g., alter operational characteristics of some or all of a given fleet of virtual instances without necessitating individual alteration of each instance.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for determining whether a computing node or a virtual machine instance executing on that computing node that is part of a web services platform is in an impaired condition or a normal condition. In embodiments, a status monitor of the web services platform obtains information about the status of the computing node or instance from multiple sources, aggregates this information to determine a cause of impairment and notifies a corresponding customer of this cause. In embodiments, the status monitor may also determine a possible remedy to this impairment and implement this remedy without customer input.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lubricating member for a razor cartridge comprising a water soluble polymer and a silicone polyether block copolymer comprising from 1 to 50%, by weight of polyethylene oxide, from 20% to 90%, polypropylene oxide and from 1% to 20%, by weight of silicone for improved lubrication.

Abstract: The invention relates to liquid compositions for use with hair removal devices comprising a silicone polyether block copolymer comprising from 1% to 50%, by weight of polyethylene oxide, from 20% to 90% by weight of polypropylene oxide and from 1% to 20%, by weight of silicone for improved lubrication.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for efficient monitoring of network fleets are described. A list of network addresses of a set of hosts at which resources are to be monitored from a monitoring server of a provider network may be received at the monitoring server. The monitoring server may initiate establishment of a persistent network connection to a monitoring agent installed at a monitored host. A plurality of health messages from the monitoring agent may be obtained via the connection, including a host status entry for the monitored host and a resource status entry for at least one resource configured at the monitored host. A representation of the health messages may be saved in a repository for analysis.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program, the apparatus comprising: communication circuitry configured to drive, on a first occasion, a first transition of a first electrical parameter on an electrical interface to another apparatus; determination circuitry configured to determine feedback information dependent upon a measured electrical parameter on the electrical interface; and control circuitry configured to use the determined feedback information to control the power output of the communication circuitry to achieve, on a second occasion subsequent to the first occasion, the first transition of the first electrical parameter on the electrical interface within a threshold time period.

Abstract: Mixtures containing gamma-cyhalothrin [(S)-?-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (Z)-(1R,3R)-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate] and another compound having insecticidal, nematicidal, acaricidal, molluscicidal, fungicidal, plant growth regulating or herbicidal activity are provided. Compositions containing the mixture and insecticidal methods using such mixtures or compositions are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gaming system and to a method of gaming. A gaming system comprises a game controller arranged to randomly display several symbols from a predetermined set of symbols and to determine a game outcome such as a game win based on the displayed symbols. Such gaming systems may be implemented as a stepper machine provided with reels or a video machine displaying “virtual” reels. One or more reels generated in play of a base game may be stored for later use in subsequent games. In a subsequent game or games, the game controller may select the stored reel to substitute for a reel generated by the game, in order to improve the game outcome. For example, the game outcome may become a “win” from a “lose” outcome. Or it may result in an improved win outcome. The one or more reels may be stored depending upon a trigger condition generated in the base game.

Abstract: A gaming system comprises a primary game monitor arranged to monitor outcomes of a sequence of primary games. An outcome generator provided by the gaming system determines an outcome of a secondary game in dependence on the outcomes of the sequence of primary games.
