Abstract: Systems, methods, and software for management of partitioned data storage spaces is provided herein. An exemplary method includes storing sets of structured data records among partitioned data storage spaces, with data fields of the structured data records correlated among the sets by relational associations. The method includes, in a data center that receives change actions related to the structured data records, selectively placing the change actions into a plurality of change feeds, where the change feeds can be commutatively executed in parallel to implement the change actions. The method further includes implementing the change actions and propagating replication data comprising the change actions in the plurality of change feeds.

Abstract: A method for determining the amount of one or more analytes in a sample by mass spectrometry is described. The one or more analytes are selected from the group consisting of alpha-hydroxybutyrate (2-HB), linoleoyl LPC (LGPC), oleic acid, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-HB), 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate (4-MOP), pantothenate, and serine. The method includes a) subjecting the sample to an ionization source under conditions suitable to produce one or more ions detectable by mass spectrometry from each of the one or more of the analytes, wherein the analytes are not derivatized prior to ionization; b) measuring, by tandem mass spectrometry, the amount of the one or more ions from each of the one or more analytes; and c) using the measured amount of the one or more ions to determine the amount of each of the one or more analytes in the sample.

Abstract: An intelligent conflict detection system. The system provides semantic expression of edits and history-aware conflict detection in a large-scale service allowing multiple users to simultaneously work with the same document, which may result in conflicting edits. When submitted, changes to a version of a document are compared to all versions of the document created since the document was sourced. Edits to documents are expressed as intents describing the changes in terms of an action and object of that action based on a characteristic of the data being edited. Comparing the intent of current edits against the historical intent of the edits made in prior versions originating from the same source document allows the system to intelligently assess whether the edits are in conflict. History-aware semantic analysis results in users being prompted less frequently to resolve conflicts, which improves the user experience.

Abstract: A method for determining in a sample, by mass spectrometry, the presence, absence, or amount of one or more analytes is described herein. The run time is less than six minutes. The method includes subjecting the sample to an ionization source under conditions suitable to produce one or more ions detectable by mass spectrometry from each of the one or more analytes, wherein the one or more analytes are derivatized prior to ionization; measuring, in a single injection, by mass spectrometry, the amount of the one or more ions from each of the one or more analytes; and using the measured amount of the one or more ions to determine the amount of each of the one or more analytes in the sample.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a system can include a user interface with at least one input field for receiving input associated with an information technology (IT) customer service issue and a response area for displaying results in response to the input. The system can further include a context generation engine that receives the input associated with the IT customer service issue from the user interface and determines, based on the input, a multi-factor context. The system can also include a relevance-based search engine configured to search, based on the multi-factor context, a plurality of resources; assign, based on the multi-factor context, a respective relevancy score to each of the plurality of resources; and provide, to the user interface for display in the results area, a ranked list of a subset of the plurality of resources that is ordered based on the respective relevancy scores of the subset of the resources.

Abstract: Single sign-on identity management between local and cloud-based systems is provided. A remote or cloud-based authentication endpoint is registered as a local device, service or resource in a user's local directory services system. A local device and associated user requesting access to cloud-based resources will then see the authentication endpoint as an internal (inside the enterprise) server and may supply an authentication ticket which includes on-premises log-in or sign-on identity for the user. The remote or cloud-based authentication endpoint may then validate the authentication ticket, and the user may then access devices, applications and services operated in association with the remote or cloud-based authentication endpoint without a second or separate log-in or sign-on and without use of additional authentication equipment at the user's enterprise network.

Abstract: A gas container having coating on the inner side that is applied directly onto a base material (110) of the gas container. The coating has a plurality of layers of at least one coating material that may be produced by an ALD method.

Abstract: Provided is a container for transporting a consumable such as a medium on which an image is to be printed. The container includes a support surface and a reading component coupled to the support surface to read a computer-readable code accompanying the consumable. A relay interface is operatively connected to the reading component to receive a signal indicative of the computer-readable code read by the reading component, and communicate with a compatible reader provided to the receiving apparatus to convey information about the computer-readable code read by the reading component to the receiving apparatus. The relay interface can be coupled to the tray at a location remotely located from the reading component and having an orientation that is different from an orientation of the reading component.

Abstract: A consistent user view system. The system incorporates any changes made by a user in any views shown to that user even when the changes have not propagated to the partitions supplying the view. The system separates the authority for edits from the replicated storage allowing efficient transactions and linear scalability. Documents are read from view-based partitions of a store. Document writes are written to a document-specific partition in a journal and applied to the store. The system stores a copy of pending changes in a user-specific partition. When a user requests a view, the system checks that user's cache for any pending changes applicable to the view. If any applicable changes are found, the changes are applied before showing the view to the user. Pending changes that have been successfully applied to the store are trimmed from the user-specific partition to free up resources.
