Abstract: Allowing an entity managed device to access a tenant associated with the e on a public cloud service while preventing the device from accessing one or more other tenants on the cloud service. A method includes, at the cloud service, obtaining policy from the entity with respect to tenant access. The method further includes, at the cloud service, receiving a request from the entity managed device to access a tenant at the cloud service. The method further includes granting or denying the access request based on the policy obtained from the entity.

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.

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: Systems, methods, and software for management of partitioned data storage spaces are 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 maintaining data fields in a first set of structured data records, the data fields comprising promoted data fields that reference properties of data fields of a second set of structured data records. Responsive to an update to a data field of a first structured data record, the method includes determining if the update relates to a promoted data field, implementing a portion of the update in the second set of structured data records, and propagating the update to associated promoted data fields in the first set of structured data records along with any intervening changes received for the associated promoted data fields.

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 receiving a change action related to a selected structured data record, and responsive to the change action, scheduling execution of the change action in a reminder index. The method includes executing the change action according to at least scheduling indicated by the reminder index.

Abstract: A scalable eventual consistency system. The system uses logical document journaling to provide eventual consistency across partitions in a large-scale service. The system allows for transactional edits to massively interconnected graphs of documents through parallelization without sacrificing linear scalability. The system separates the authority for edits from the replicated storage allowing efficient transactions and linear scalability. All document writes are written to document-specific partitions in a journal where they are queued until the changes are propagated to view-based partitions of a store. By continually checking the journal and attempting to replicate any pending document writes to the store, the system provides eventual consistency without complicated synchronization mechanisms.

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: The present invention provides a method for diagnosing a disease or disorder selected from the group consisting of insulin resistance, a metabolic disorder, diabetes and pre-diabetes in a subject. The method comprises the step of determining the level of a compound represented by structural formula (VI): or a salt thereof. Compositions and method of making thereof are also described.

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: An LED luminaire and potting method having the following steps: introducing a configured luminaire into an at least partly optically transparent potting mold (16), such that the luminaire does not come into contact with the walls of the potting mold; introducing an optically transparent potting compound (18) into the potting mold (16) until at least the luminaire is surrounded; and detecting a quantity of bubbles by an optical sensor or image detector (14), wherein the pressure in the vacuum chamber (11) is controlled in order to influence the bubbles and/or a pivot/inclination device (12) is controlled in order to move the vacuum chamber (11) and/or the potting mold (16) in order to expel detected gas/air bubbles (19) out of the optically transparent potting compound (18).

Abstract: A composition comprising at least one active chosen from at least one antiperspirant active and at least one deodorant active; a first gellant chosen from at least one fatty alcohol and at least one hydrocarbon of the formula CnH2n+2, wherein n is about 20 to about 100, and the hydrocarbon is at least 90% linear; at least one soybean oil having an iodine value of greater than 0 to about 20; and at least one silicone.

Abstract: A gas dilution system with at least two gas flow control elements. Each of the at least two gas flow control elements features an integrated measuring orifice, designed as a top piece in the form of a valve and connected to a gas container. The gas dilution system extracts gas with a required flow rate via the at least two gas flow control elements from the respectively connected gas container, mixes the extracted gasses at a required dilution ratio into a diluted gas mixture and to makes the diluted gas mixture available at the outlet.
