Abstract: Isolating suspicious email links is described. An email security service receives an email that includes a link that refers to an external resource. A first suspicious link determination is performed to determine whether the link is suspicious. If the link is suspicious, the link is rewritten to refer to the email security and the email is delivered to the recipient. A request from a client device is received responsive to the link being opened. A second suspicious link determination is performed to determine whether the link is suspicious. If the link is suspicious, an interstitial page is transmitted to the client device that includes an option that, when selected, causes the first link to be opened in a remote browser isolation session.

Abstract: A method of ethanol conversion to higher carbon compounds is provided. The method includes feeding a reactant to a reactor, the reactant including ethanol. The reactant may further include water in the form of steam. The reactant is introduced to a perovskite catalyst in the reactor. The perovskite catalyst promotes the formation of the higher carbon compounds from ethanol, and may be in the form of a powder or thin film. The perovskite catalyst has the formula ABO3, wherein A is one or more selected from a group consisting of La and Sr, and wherein B is one or more selected from a group consisting of Mn, Ca, Fe, and Co. The perovskite catalyst particularly may be La0.7Sr0.3MnO3. The obtained higher carbon compounds may include at least one of acetone and crotonaldehyde.

Abstract: Described herein are electrochemical cells fabricated with current collectors comprising polymer bases and metal layers and methods of interconnecting these current collectors or, more specifically, interconnecting their metal layers. For example, a current collector, positioned between two other current collectors, can have an opening allowing these two other current collectors to form a direct interface. This interface not only directly interconnects the metal layers on these two current collectors but also indirectly interconnects the two metal layers of the middle current collector, which are positioned on the opposite sides of the polymer base of this current collector. In some examples, the metal layers of current collectors are reinforced by external metal foils that help to maintain continuity and/or repair any discontinuities in the metal layers when these metal layers are welded together. For example, welding may push portions of the polymer bases away from the weld zone.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing one or more compiled workflows at a biological foundry are provided. A representation of an uncompiled workflow to produce engineering targets is obtained. The representation is translated into a first corresponding instance of a compiled workflow. If the translation satisfaction of various threshold translation criteria is determined, and the first corresponding instance of the compiled workflow is executed to complete a first portion of manufacture of the engineering targets. If the executing satisfaction of various threshold execution criteria is determined, the representation is translated into a second corresponding instance of the compiled workflow different from the first corresponding instance. If this translation satisfaction of the various threshold translation criteria is determined, the second corresponding instance of the compiled workflow is executed to complete a second portion of the manufacture of the engineering targets.

Abstract: A docking device for receiving a portable device. The docking device includes a base including a substantially planar upper surface for supporting a portable device. The docking device includes an array of a plurality of engagement members. Each engagement member in the plurality of engagement members includes a fixed body protruding upwardly from the substantially planar upper surface of the base. Each engagement member includes a spring including a fixed end portion and a free end portion for engagement with the portable device. The fixed end portion interfaces with the fixed body. The free end portion protrudes from the fixed end portion obliquely towards the substantially planar upper surface of the base. The free end being movable along a deformable gap between a first surface of the fixed body and a second surface of the spring.

Abstract: A method of removing THC and THCA from a non-decarboxylated hemp extract, the non-decarboxylated hemp extract including THC and THCA and at least one cannabinoid is provided. The method comprises passing a first feedstock stream through a first chromatographic resin arranged in a simulated moving bed (SMB) chromatography configuration to provide a primary raffinate stream, preparing a second feedstock stream, the second feedstock stream comprising the primary raffinate stream or a concentrated primary raffinate stream, and passing the second feedstock stream through a second chromatographic resin to provide an eluate stream, the eluate stream having less than 0.1 wt % THC on a solvent free basis. The cannabinoid products can be used in various pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.

Abstract: A system and method for scheduling and defining calendar events on a user's electronic calendar are disclosed. An exemplary method begins with receiving a main event with a specified date. An event template may be selected that is related to the main event. A user's calendar may then be populated with template events from the event template using the main event date as the date from which template events are offset. Users may modify existing event templates or create their own templates. Additionally, users may modify, delete, or create new events that may be associated with the main event and treated as part of an event group along with events created in a calendar from a specified template.
