Abstract: Electrochemical cells and methods for their production are provided. In particular, multi-well assay plates including multi-electrode wells are provided. The multi-electrode wells contain multiple electrodes that are electrically isolated from one another, permitting the various electrodes of the various wells to be addressed in any suitable combination.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell includes a plurality of working electrode zones disposed, and defining a pattern, on a surface of the cell and at least one auxiliary electrode disposed on the surface. The auxiliary electrode may have a defined interfacial potential.

Abstract: A method includes provisioning, by a cloud provisioning server, a first instance based on a template. The template belongs to a tenant, and the first instance includes one of an instantiated software and an instantiated computing service. The method also includes determining a prefix. The determined prefix is shared by a second instance that is also provisioned based on the template of the tenant. The method also includes generating a name for the first provisioned instance. The generated name includes the determined prefix.

Abstract: A method includes configuring, by a cloud provisioning server, a first cloud domain. The first cloud domain and a second cloud domain use at least one of the same operating system and the same system resource pool. The method also includes configuring a tenant within the first cloud domain. The tenant is isolated from tenants of the second cloud domain. Resources used by the configured tenant are not shared with tenants of the second cloud domain.

Abstract: A method includes provisioning, by a cloud provisioning server, an instance of a software resource or service for an end user. The provisioning is based on a template for the software resource or service. The template includes, at least, attribute data, and the attribute data is structured according to an action schema. The method also includes storing the action schema in association with the provisioned instance. The attribute data and the action schema determine at least one action of the provisioned instance. The method also includes performing the at least one action of the provisioned instance.

Abstract: A method includes configuring, by a cloud provisioning server, a first user identity to execute a provisioning to provision an instance. The instance to be provisioned includes one of an instantiated software resource and a computing service. The method also includes configuring a second user identity to be an approver of the provisioning. The method also includes performing provisioning of the instance. The provisioning is executed under the first user identity, and the second user identity has provided approval of the provisioning.

Abstract: A protected wireless device is avoided. An indication is received that another wireless device has detected a protected wireless device. The protected wireless device is avoided in the event the wireless device that detected the protected wireless device is within a threshold number of hops from the wireless device that received the indication.

Abstract: Detecting a wireless device is disclosed. A situation in a wireless medium is created for the wireless device to transmit. A transmission of the wireless device is received. The wireless device is detected based at least in part on information associated with the received transmission of the wireless device.

Abstract: Avoiding a frequency spectrum in a wireless medium is disclosed. An identification of the frequency spectrum in the wireless medium to avoid is obtained. A set of subcarriers to suppress based at least on part on the frequency spectrum to avoid is determined. Information is reallocated in response to the set of subcarriers to suppress.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing environment variables of a user process in an information handling system having a plurality of simultaneously running threads of execution. Thread-level set and get functions invoked by a subject thread are defined to manage environment variables of the subject thread at the thread level rather than at the process level. In response to a request to set the value of a thread-level environment variable, a thread-level set function determines whether a thread-specific environment has already been created for the subject thread. If so, the set function inserts the thread-level environment variable in the thread-specific environment. Otherwise, the set function creates a thread-specific environment and inserts the thread-level environment variable in the newly created thread-specific environment.
