  • Publication number: 20240394079
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generative guidance for tasks. The systems and methods disclosed herein speed up the learning time for new users and the creation time for advanced users, by providing the most likely next steps visible to a user, and actionable with a single gesture. The systems and methods disclosed herein augment the user by providing an easy-to-use set of contextual actions as the user works to create solutions. When creating a resource, there is a selection context, such as a selected element. The system and methods present, to the user, likely next steps close to the selected element, that are directly available.

  • Patent number: 9176672
    Abstract: Systems and techniques relating to input/output (I/O) command aggregation include, according to at least one implementation, a method including receiving a first command from a device driver through interface hardware for accessing a storage device; identifying the received command as an aggregation command having a tag corresponding to consolidated command information; communicating a transfer ready notification to the device driver; receiving the consolidated command information from the device driver, wherein the consolidated command information includes memory addresses and data transfer counts for a defined quantity of aggregated I/O commands or for aggregated I/O commands that are received within a defined period of time; storing the consolidated command information in memory; receiving a second command including the tag corresponding to the consolidated command information; and processing the second command with respect to the storage device based on the memory addresses and the data transfer counts in

  • Publication number: 20120164073
    Abstract: Nanoparticles, such as noble metal nanoparticles, having improved stability against aggregation in aqueous solution are provided. In addition to having improved stability against aggregation, the nanoparticles are highly photostable. Also provided are aqueous solutions containing the stabilized nanoparticles, methods of making the stabilized nanoparticles, imaging methods and organisms employing the nanoparticles, and in vivo assays for screening and characterizing the toxicity and biocompatibility of the nanoparticles.

  • Publication number: 20090148863
    Abstract: Compositions which are useful in ultralow level of detection based on functionalized nanoparticles having exceptional combinations of properties including stability, brightness, binding specificity, and ability to be imaged at single nanoparticle resolution over desired period of time. The biological moieties on the nanoparticles preserve biological function. The nanoparticle surface can comprise a first monolayer component which is adapted to bind to a biological moiety. The biological moiety can be adapted to bind to an analyte. The nanoparticle surface can further comprise a second monolayer component, which is adapted to help expose the first monolayer component on the surface. Other components on the surface can help stabilize the nanoparticle. The nanoparticles are stable against aggregation, have photostability (non-photodecomposition and non-blinking), and can achieve single molecule detection in real time. Analytes can be detected at low levels both in solution and on surfaces such as cell surfaces.
