  • Patent number: 12020072
    Abstract: There is provided a method of computing resource allocation. The method comprises allocating a first bounded amount of computing resources forming a first set of computing resources; exclusively assigning the first set of computing resources to a first process of a computer program; receiving a request from the first process for additional computing resources; in response to the request from the first process, allocating a second bounded amount of computing resources forming a second set of computing resources; and spawning a second process from the first process and exclusively assigning the second set of computing resources to the second process; wherein this method may be repeated indefinitely by the first process, second process, or any other process created according to this method. By following this method, a process does not control the amount of computing resources allocated to that process (i.e., itself), but instead controls the amount of computing resources allocated to its child processes.

  • Publication number: 20160017368
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for cell transfection and regulating cellular behavior. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to methods of non-viral cell transfection and regulating cellular behavior using mineral coatings that allow for the enhanced transfection of cells with reduced cytotoxicity. The mineral coatings bind biomaterials and provide a source of calcium and phosphate ions to enhance transfection. The present disclosure also provides a high throughput platform for screening non-viral transfection of cells. The methods of the present disclosure also provide an advantageous biomaterial delivery platform because the mineral coatings may be deposited on various medical device materials after being specifically developed using the high throughput screening platform.

  • Publication number: 20070168480
    Abstract: Interactive robot (BOT) creation is described. A BOT is an automated computer program implemented on a presence-based network, such as an instant messaging (IM) network or voice over IP (VoIP) network. The BOT is implemented to interact with a user via a direct two-way communication to gather data. The data that is gathered is then used by the BOT to automatically create a new, user-defined BOT implemented on the same presence-based network.
