Abstract: A computing resource service provider may operate a build service configured to store data object on behalf of a customer of the computing resource service provide. The build service may receive a stream of data objects including object objects that reference one or more other data objects. A Bloom filter may be used to determine whether a one or more referenced data objects have been previously processed by the build service. This may enable the build service to reorder processing of the data object based at least in part on whether the one or more referenced data objects have previously been processed by the build service.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polymer beads comprising a polymeric matrix and having a pitted surface, the polymeric matrix (i) comprising polymerized monomer residues of (a) at least one mono-ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and (b) at least one crosslinking monomer having at least two ethylenically unsaturated groups separated by at least 4 consecutive acyclic atoms, and (ii) having distributed therethrough solid particulate material and polymeric porogen.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for use in identifying and resolving software issues. One or more corrective actions may be identified and taken that are based upon the similarity between an unresolved issue and one or more resolved issues and/or upon the similarity between code changes made to resolve similar previously resolved issues. A version control graph might also be utilized to determine if a change made to resolve an issue in one branch of a software component is applicable to another branch of the software component. The version control graph might also be utilized to compute the relevance of an entry in an issue tracking system for an issue at a point in time after the entry is created in the issue tracking system.

Abstract: Computing systems executing applications may receive updates to the application from an update service. The update service may generate an update bundle including resources of the application. The update bundle may further include a manifest containing information identifying the resources and a location for the resources to be stored within the computing system. Additionally, the computing system may maintain a cache of previously received resources.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for distributed storage and retrieval of directed acyclic graphs, such as version control graphs maintained by a version control system. In order to store data contained in a directed acyclic graph, objects stored in the graph may be grouped into chunks utilizing a relatedness heuristic. The chunks may then be stored in a distributed object store. An index to the objects stored in the chunks may also be created that includes an index entry for each object. The index entry for each object includes a unique identifier for the object and data identifying the location of the object in the distributed object store. The index may be utilized to traverse the directed acyclic graph and to obtain all or a portion of the objects in the directed acyclic graph from the distributed object store.

An electric hand tool comprises a tool body having a handle therein, the handle having an interior wall defining a cavity therein and an electrical supply input cord operable to be connected to a power source. The electric hand tool further comprises an electric heating element adapted to be adhered to the interior wall of the handle and an electrical connection adapted to be electrically connected to an electrical supply for the tool.

Abstract: A two-way speech-to-speech (S2S) translation system actively detects a wide variety of common error types and resolves them through user-friendly dialog with the user(s). Examples include features including one or more of detecting out-of-vocabulary (OOV) named entities and terms, sensing ambiguities, homophones, idioms, ill-formed input, etc. and interactive strategies for recovering from such errors. In some examples, different error types are prioritized and systems implementing the approach can include an extensible architecture for implementing these decisions.

Abstract: A housing for fiber optic cable pivotably attachable to an adjacent housing to form a modular housing system is disclosed. The housing may include a first body having a plurality of members angled relative to one another to form a first chamber therebetween, the first body including an opening for receiving a fiber cable in the first chamber. An attachment feature may alternatively pivotably attach one of: a) a first cover to the first body to selectively enclose a first side of the first chamber in a cover state, or b) a second body of an adjacent housing to the first chamber to create a joint chamber involving a second chamber of the second body and the first chamber of the first body in an attached housing state.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for synchronization of source code objects and software development workflow objects. Software development workflow objects are identified that are related to source code objects to be synchronized to a development device. The identified software development workflow objects are then stored in a copy of a source control object store that also includes the source code objects to be synchronized. The copy of the source control object store may then be transmitted to the development device for offline use. Tools might also be provided on the development device for utilizing the software development workflow objects stored in the copy of the source control object store maintained by the development device. The copy of a source control object store containing modified source code objects and modified software development workflow objects might also be utilized to synchronize the changes to the objects to an appropriate object store.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for performing a defect analysis on a software component based upon collected data that describes the operational state of hardware devices in an execution environment utilized to execute the software component at different points in time. The hardware state data is collected from the hardware devices in the execution environment at different points in time and stored in a version control system. A defect analysis may then be performed for an issue identified in the software component utilizing the hardware state data stored in the version control system. Based upon the results of the defect analysis, one or more actions may be taken such as, but not limited to, rolling the hardware or software configuration of one or more of the hardware devices in the execution environment back to a previous point in time.

Abstract: A steerable endoscopic tool uses concentric sleeves of varying curvature to steer a tool tip toward or in the direction of a location of surgical interest. By rotating and/or axially displacing such sleeves relative to one another the tool tip may be maneuvered within a current field of view with several degrees of freedom without any physical movement of an endoscope, thus facilitating improved surgical access and control without complex mechanical systems in the endoscope or at the surgical site.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the temperature of a disk drive during manufacture of the disk drive has a cell having a mounting arrangement to which a disk drive can be mounted and having walls defining a volume in which the disk drive is received when mounted to the mounting arrangement during manufacture of the disk drive. At least one wall of the cell adjacent said volume is heat conductive and is arranged such that a disk drive when received in the volume does not touch said at least one wall. An air-agitating device agitates air between the at least one wall and a disk drive when received in the volume to encourage heat transfer between said at least one wall and a disk drive when inserted into the volume. The air-agitating device is mounted so as to be vibrationally isolated from a said disk drive when mounted in the cell.
