Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to generating dynamic troubleshooting information for distributed computing systems. For example, a computer-implemented method can involve receiving a support request for an issue with respect to a computing environment. The support request can include a diagnostic file for the computing environment. In response, troubleshooting information associated with the issue or the computing environment can be identified in a support information database. A diagnostic software tool associated with the issue or the computing environment can be embedded within the troubleshooting information. Then, a graphical user interface displaying the troubleshooting information and including an interface element displaying a result generated by applying the diagnostic software tool to the diagnostic file can be output for use in resolving the issue.

Abstract: The invention provides novel glucocorticosteroids, glucocorticosteroid-linkers and antibody drug conjugates (ADC's) comprising an antibody or antibody fragment which binds to an antigen expressed on immune cells, optionally an antigen expressed on human immune cells. In some instances the ADCs comprise an anti-human VISTA (V-region Immunoglobulin-containing Suppressor of T cell Activation (1)) antibody or anti-VISTA antigen-binding antibody fragment which binds to VISTA expressing cells at physiologic pH having a short serum half-life (?24-72 or 24-48 or 12-24 hours or less in a human VISTA knock-in rodent or ((?1-3.5 days or less in a human or non-human primate). In some instances these ADCs have a rapid onset of action and are potent for prolonged duration as they are very effectively internalized by immune cells in large amounts where they are cleaved releasing large amounts of active steroid payload.

Abstract: Arrangements for steganography-based security document access control are provided. In some examples, a security policy for a document may be generated. The security policy may include identification of one or more users authorized to access the document and one or more response actions to execute upon violation of the security policy. The generated security policy may be embedded in the document using steganography. Accordingly, transmission of the document may include transmission of the security policy with the document. The document may be transmitted to a destination node. A user at the destination node may request access to the document. In response to the request, the security policy embedded in the document may be executed to confirm whether the user is an authorized user. If the user is authorized, access to the document may be enabled. If the user is not authorized, the one or more response actions may be executed.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for treating an isolated hydrocarbon interval feedable through a production tubing inside a well bore and forming an annulus therebetween. A perforated cylindrical tool having an expandable annular seal may attach to the production tubing and house a slidable element positionally responsive to an injection velocity of a well fluid. The tool may be lowered to a sealing depth for bracketing the hydrocarbon interval. Injection of the well fluid may drag a narrowing bore of the slidable element downward for expanding the annular seal against the well bore. The well fluid may also be directed from the element bore to the annulus by aligning an element flow port with a corresponding tool passage, a downstream or an upstream flow being selectable by an injection velocity for slidably aligning the corresponding flow ports having different axial locations.
