Abstract: A descriptor of a dynamically materialized view is stored. The descriptor includes a query to select a subset of cells from a data sheet, and a result of executing the query. In response to an update directed to the data sheet, the result stored in the descriptor is modified based on re-executing the query, and a notification is transmitted to an execution platform at which an application whose output depends on the dynamically materialized view runs.

Abstract: A method of deploying machine learning-based models may include identifying a profile of a target execution environment to implement a machine learning-based model in communication with a cloud infrastructure. The method may further include identifying, using the profile, a software module implementing the model. The method may further include causing the software module to be uploaded from a code repository associated with the cloud infrastructure to the target execution environment.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for controlling access to restricted customer data (RCD) by a computer associated with a particular user of an enterprise while the particular user is interacting with a particular customer. The RCD is associated with the particular customer and stored in an enterprise database. An enterprise server (ES) monitors for an indication that the particular customer has sent a request to interact with a user of the enterprise. In response to receiving the indication at the ES, the ES can determine that the particular user accepted the request. The ES can then automatically modify the particular user's access privileges grant access to the RCD. When the ES receives another indication that interaction with the particular customer has ended, the ES can automatically revoke the particular user's access to the RCD.

Abstract: A bundle-to-bundle authentication process is presented that provides a flexible authentication mechanism to application bundles for accessing the persistence bundle of a modular application and requesting security sensitive data from a database. The modular application comprises a plurality of bundles such as application bundles, connector bundles, persistence bundles, authentication bundles, and so on. During runtime of the modular application, the application bundles and the connector bundles may need access to security protected resources (sensitive data) stored in the database. To access these resources, the application bundles and the connector bundles should authenticate themselves with the persistence bundle. The persistence bundle provides the communication with the database.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a universal metallic/pearlescent colorant composition that is free of VOCs including alkylphenol ethoxylate (APE) and formaldehyde. The colorant composition comprises substantially no resin and comprises microcrystalline cellulose and optionally a synthetic silicate to disperse the metallic pigments.

Abstract: A social networking architecture comprises a plurality of nodes (persons) connected to one another by bonds reflecting common interests, the bonds having a strength, a time dimension, a geographic dimension, and an availability (e.g. ad hoc) dimension. Network members are allowed to define flexible interests (e.g. hobbies, professional skills/credentials), with the network revealing a strength of common interest between individual nodes. The temporal and geographic dimensions of the interest allow the network to connect available members having similar interest(s) in a specific location at a given time. An interface engine may allow the social network architecture to leverage relationships from pre-existing social networks and channels of communication.

Abstract: A context object provides an interface between structured data present in a database, and relevant unstructured data that is available outside of the database. The context object includes an objective, and access to unstructured data is determined based upon the objective. According to certain embodiments a context object may be configured to store meta information related to the structured data, for example references in the form of active links to pertinent entries in an email system, a social network, a wild, and/or blog. Maintenance of the context object may be achieved through automated crawling techniques and/or manual intervention by the user.

Abstract: A colorant composition containing a hydrophobic latex polymer component to impart resistance to water-softening and -staining in a paint film made from a latex paint formulated with the colorant composition, as well as the paint and paint film, and methods for making the foregoing.

Abstract: Pandemic A(H1N1) continues its global spread, and vaccine production is a serious problem. Protection by current vaccines is limited by the mutational differences that rapidly accumulate in the circulating strains, especially in the virus surface proteins. New vaccine strategies are focusing at conserved regions of the viral internal proteins to produce T cell epitope-based vaccines. T cell responses have been shown to reduce morbidity and promote recovery in mouse models of influenza challenge. We previously reported 54 highly conserved sequences of NP, M1 and the polymerases of all human H1N1, H3N2, H1N2, and H5N1, and avian subtypes over the past 30 years. Sixty-three T cell epitopes elicited responses in HLA transgenic mice (A2, A24, B7, DR2, DR3 and DR4). These epitopes were compared to the 2007-2009 human H1N1 sequences to identify conserved and variant residues.

Abstract: A paint system is provided that includes a foundation base component combined with a tinted, opaque top coat component and that hides any colors on all types of substrates and maintains the brightness and cleanness for all colors. The foundation base component is a tintable color base containing at least one organic synthetic pigment at an amount of at least twice as much as the amount of organic synthetic pigment in the top coat component. The tintable foundation base component has a volume ratio of organic pigments to inorganic pigments of at least about 0.5 and a volume ratio of organic pigment to polymer binder of at least about 0.1. The volume ratio of organic pigment to polymer binder in the top coat component is less than about 10.1 with at least about 80% by volume of pigments being synthetic organic pigments.

Abstract: The present invention relates to copolymer surfactants and their use in, e.g., coatings such as latex paint and solvent-based paint, and to a method of dispersing colored pigments using the copolymer surfactant, colorant compositions in which at least one pigment is dispersed by a copolymer surfactant of the invention, a paint which has a colorant composition of the invention, and a method for making a paint having a colorant composition of the invention.

Abstract: Paint systems, in accordance with exemplary embodiments, of the present invention include a foundation base component and a top coat component. The foundation base component is tinted to match the top coat component to provide both the desired amount of hiding of colors or markings on the substrate to which the paint system is applied, and to enhance the brightness and hue of the color of the paint system. Furthermore, in another innovative aspect of the present invention, the foundation base component comprises at least one low molecular weight polymer that undergoes self-crosslinking at ambient conditions during and after paint drying. The low molecular weight polymer penetrates various substrates, including chalky surfaces, to provide improved adhesion. Moreover, because the low molecular weight polymer is self-crosslinking at ambient conditions, the polymer enhances the performance of dried paints, including improving mechanical strength, tannin block properties, and weatherability.
