Abstract: A cloud-based, integrated business application suite includes an add-in that enables access from a client device to a first server, but not a second server. A user accesses the first server through an interface of the integrated suite to request a webpage which launches a first local instance of a service application. The first local instance of the service application sets up a local storage location and provides this location to a URL that is used to launch a webpage that is a client of the second server. A second local instance of the service application which is aware of the storage location is launched and this instance stores data requested from the second server in the identified local storage location. The stored information is read from the storage location by the first instance of the service application and is provided to the integrated application suite.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a bit line contact scheme in a memory system stack are described. A memory architecture may include bit lines coupled with bit line contacts, and pillars coupled with circuitry associated with supporting operation of the bit lines. Hybrid plugs may be integrated into the pillars to couple the bit line contacts with the pillars, forming a conductive path between the bit lines and the circuitry. The hybrid plugs may be recessed within the pillars such that the hybrid plugs do not extend through the memory architecture beyond the pillars. The hybrid plugs may include one or more relatively low capacitance, conductive materials, such as a titanium alloy material (e.g., titanium, titanium nitride), a tungsten alloy material (e.g., tungsten, tungsten nitride), or any combination thereof, among other materials.

Abstract: Data processing systems and methods, according to various embodiments, are adapted for determining a categorization for each tracking tool that executes on a particular webpage based on a variety of criteria, such as the purpose of the tracking tool and its source script.

When a user visits the webpage, the system analyzes these categories and determines whether the tracking tool should be permitted to run based on the categories and/or other criteria, such as whether the user has consented to the use of that type of tracking tool.

Abstract: A method used in forming a memory array comprising strings of memory cells comprises forming memory blocks individually comprising a vertical stack comprising alternating insulative tiers and conductive tiers. Channel-material strings extend through the insulative tiers and the conductive tiers. Horizontally-elongated trenches are between immediately-laterally-adjacent of the memory blocks. Conductor material is in and extends elevationally along sidewalls of the trenches laterally-over the conductive tiers and the insulative tiers and directly electrically couples together conducting material of individual of the conductive tiers. The conductor material is exposed to oxidizing conditions to form an insulative oxide laterally-through the conductor material laterally-over individual of the insulative tiers to separate the conducting material of the individual conductive tiers from being directly electrically coupled together by the conductor material. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
