Abstract: An industrial automation controller includes a housing with a forced convection chamber. First and second fans are releasably connected to the housing and are adapted to induce airflow through the forced convection chamber. The first and second fans are each connected to the housing by respective first and second latch systems that each include a primary latch and a secondary latch. The secondary latch imposes a time delay during removal and replacement of a fan to facilitate hot swapping of the fan with a replacement fan. A make-last/break-first contact system is provided for each fan such that the fan is shutdown in a controlled manner prior to removal of the fan from the housing. The controller monitors internal temperature and fan speed. The controller initiates, logs, and reports fault conditions based upon the monitored temperature and/or fan speed. The controller is shut down if the monitored temperature exceeds a select temperature level.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes compositions and methods for deactivating coronavirus. A method includes providing a deactivation composition including one or more CSA compounds and a carrier, administering the deactivation composition to a subject, and the deactivation composition deactivating coronavirus virions in the subject or coming into contact with the subject. The method can thereby prevent, decrease, or inhibit a coronavirus infection, such as COVID-19, of the subject.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes compositions and methods for regenerating tissue and/or preventing tissue loss by stimulating stem cells. A method includes providing a treatment composition including one or more CSA compounds and a carrier, applying the treatment composition to a targeted tissue region of a subject, and the treatment composition stimulating tissue regeneration and/or preventing tissue degradation at the targeted region of the subject.

Abstract: An environment and techniques for intelligently selecting which tests of multiple different tests to run on a particular section or sections of code, such as one or more lines of code that a developer has altered, are described herein. In this manner, the techniques may allow developers to receive feedback on their software more quickly by running a subset of tests, rather than each test in a predefined set of tests.

Abstract: An architecture and techniques for implementing a unified and extensible meta-testing framework within a distributed environment. This framework allows entities within the distributed environment to run tests written in different testing frameworks in a unified way. In addition, this disclosure describes techniques for allowing an entity within the distributed environment to test itself, both from its own perspective as well as from the perspective of other entities within the distributed environment.

Abstract: A stubbing service records requests and corresponding replies for purpose of playing back the recorded replies in response to re-receiving the corresponding requests. In a record mode, the stubbing service may receive a request from a first service intended for a second service. The stubbing service may send the request onto the second service and may, in response, receive a reply to the request from the second service. The stubbing service may then pass the reply onto the first service. When in a playback mode, the stubbing service may directly serve the stored reply to the first service in response to receiving the same request intended for the second service from the first service.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for generating a service call pattern for a system. A monitor is installed on a first and a second service call channel. Each service call channel is used by a first and second system under test, respectively. Through the monitor, service calls are received from the respective system under test. The service calls are issued to at least one service. A first service call pattern is generated based at least in part on the plurality of service calls issued by the first system under test. A second service call pattern is generated based at least in part on the plurality of service calls issued by the second under test. The first service call pattern report and the second service call pattern report are compared. An error condition if the comparison indicates a difference greater than a predefined threshold.

Abstract: In some implementations, a testing service receives a test execution request for executing test operations on a test target. The testing service may map the test execution request to a particular type of supported test framework from among a plurality of types of supported test frameworks. The testing service may obtain a test package provided by a user that requested the testing, such as from a cloud storage location. The testing service determines a computing capacity for executing the testing and appropriates a plurality of workers in a cloud computing service. The testing service configures the plurality of workers for executing the test operations based on at least one of the test framework, the test execution request or the test package. The testing service provides test execution chunks from the test package to the plurality of workers for executing the testing on the test target.

Abstract: A tooling system including a workstation assembly and a toolkit, is for performing an operation on a valve assembly. The workstation assembly includes a base platform; upright members extending generally vertically therefrom; an adjustable valve seat assembly coupled thereto for adjusting the height and alignment of the valve assembly being worked on; a stabilizing assembly for further aligning and securing the valve assembly; and a clamping assembly for engaging and securing the valve assembly once it is aligned, in order to permit the operation to be quickly and easily performed on the aligned, secured valve assembly. A method of use is also disclosed.

Abstract: A remote-controlled vehicle and method for performing a plurality of tasks in a location generally inaccessible to humans are provided. The vehicle may include a propulsion frame, and a platform attached to the frame or integral therewith for supporting an interchangeable accessory selected from a set of distinct interchangeable accessories. Each distinct interchangeable accessory may be configured to perform a distinct operational task. The platform includes at least one mechanical power takeoff, and each accessory includes at least one mechanical power receptor configured to interface with the mechanical power takeoff for coupling mechanical energy to the accessory. The platform constitutes a universal platform for the set of distinct interchangeable accessories.
