Abstract: A system includes computer-readable media configured to store a plurality of objects representing intent graph models of a network, and processing circuitry coupled to the computer-readable media. The processing circuitry is configured to receive a request indicating a requested time, determine one or more first objects of the plurality of objects, the first objects storing an intent graph model associated with a first time, the first time different from the requested time, determine one or more second objects of the plurality of objects, the second objects storing difference information indicating one or more changes to the intent graph model associated with the first time that occurred after the first time, apply the changes to the intent graph model associated with the first time to generate an intent graph model associated with the requested time, and output an indication of the intent graph model associated with the requested time.

Abstract: Industrial devices and edge compute platforms are configured to synchronize their internal clocks to provide a common sense of time across application and data acquisition tasks, thereby allowing for an inherent common understanding of time across the devices and data sets. The industrial devices can synchronize their internal clocks using Precision Time Protocol (PTP) or IEEE 802.1AS synchronization. The accurate time stamping achieved by this synchronization can yield more accurate analysis of data sets acquired from multiple devices, and greater fidelity and synchronization between a digital twin of an automation system and the physical system represented by the digital twin.

Abstract: Oil compositions and compositions thereof that can form nanoemulsions or microemulsions are disclosed. Such compositions and compositions thereof can be useful for antimicrobial properties and be used to treat or prevent microbial infections.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the preparation of nanoemulsion from oils are disclosure. These nanoemulsions can be produced without the addition of exogenous surfactants or emulsifiers and can be useful as carriers for active ingredients.

Abstract: An industrial device data access adapter allows migration of operational technology (OT) data to a cloud platform to be executed and managed using the same cloud infrastructure used to manage migration of information technology (IT) data. The adapter is designed to be installed and executed as a containerized module on an IoT edge system or device. The adapter interfaces with industrial devices to collect data using native OT data format and communication protocols, and leverages the existing software framework of the IoT edge system—including data broker services and module management services—to move this data to a cloud platform. Since the adapter is designed to interface with the native framework of the IoT edge system on which the adapter executes, the adapter can be managed using through the existing IoT infrastructure of the cloud provider.

Abstract: A magnet holder insert comprising a magnet and magnet holder housing designed with internal wall features capable of keeping the magnet properly positioned in the holder device, and external wall features capable of keeping the magnet holder device securely mounted in the finished part. The internal and external fastening elements of the magnet holder housing are designed in such a way as to promote rapid and secure assembly of both the magnet device and the finished part. The exposed surface of the magnet holder device can be configured with flat or dome shaped exposed contact surfaces, depending on how secure or flexible the magnetic joining feature is intended, capable of attaching to another magnet device or a material susceptible to magnetic attraction.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for processing or correcting metadata used to characterize content such as images, video, books, or music, where that metadata may be provided by a community of users or other source. The metadata may be searched as part of a process of identifying and accessing content of interest to a user or of sharing content among users of a network. The metadata is typically a string or strings of characters that is submitted by a community, so that the accuracy of specific data cannot be guaranteed and consistent formats and unambiguous descriptions may not be used by all members of the community.

Abstract: The present application is directed to the field of implants comprising processed hard or soft biological tissues for use in implantation in humans. The molded biological tissue implants of the present application are preferably made from allograft soft tissue sources and demineralized bone matrix. The present application provides biological implants exhibiting advantageous properties of absorption, expansion, resiliency and shape retention. The properties of the biological implants produced by the methods of the present application are leveraged in the creation and development of novel biological implant constructs and of novel methods of treatment and surgical technique.

Abstract: Provided are techniques for allocating disk space for a virtualized file space; designating files within a global disk space as files to be privatized with respect to the virtualized file space; copying the designated files to the allocated disk space; storing an indicator specifying that the designated files have been copied; and in response to a startup of the virtualized file space subsequent to the allocating, designating and copying, detecting the indicator; and in response to detecting the indicator, redirect references in the virtualized file space to the designated files to the copied.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method to assist in the discovery of music or other content by members of a social network. The present invention permits network members to network together and share information about their music collections and listening habits with a processing platform and with each other. The processing platform processes music library content and playback related data to produce similarity and compatibility measures between artists (that is, an artist-to-artist measure) and between network members (that is, a network member-to-network member measure). By combining the content and playback related data with filtering mechanisms, recommendation techniques (which may be based on the calculated measures), and set membership concepts, the present invention provides network members of the network with tools to discover artists and/or songs that are likely to be of interest to them.

Abstract: A contact assembly is described for testing a storage cell with a probe configured to flex in an outward direction, in response to a vertical application of force, to scrub a tab on the storage cell at a zero insertion force. The contact assembly comprises a contact structure configured to flex in an outward direction to scrub and to pierce a tab of the storage cell; a board, wherein a juxtaposition of the board to the contact structure defines an opening configured to receive the tab of the storage cell; and a device configured to move the contact structure, to a position in which the opening is closed, to cause the contact structure to scrub and to pierce the tab on the storage cell.
