Abstract: Techniques for generating an interactive visualization tool for building nested queries are disclosed. The interactive nested query visualization tool allows a user to observe, analyze, and modify query characteristics and attributes of a set of nested queries. A system displays an interactive visual depiction of a set of nested queries. Visual representations of the nested queries are positioned relative to each other based on the relationships between the nested queries. The system displays, simultaneously with the set of nested queries, editable fields for a selected query. The system modifies a functionality of a user interface based on which of the nested queries is selected.

Abstract: There is a need for more effective and efficient seasonally-adjusted predictive data analysis solutions. This need can be addressed by, for example, solutions for performing seasonally-adjusted predictive data analysis that use autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) machine learning models.

Abstract: Techniques for executing operations associated with sub-sets of queries in a set of nested queries are disclosed. A graphical user interface displays individual sub-queries as separate visual representations. Based on detecting a selection, a system executes a selected query in the set of nested queries, without executing parent queries in the set of nested queries. Based on detecting another selection, the system exports a selected query without exporting parent queries of the selected query. The system copies the metadata describing the selected query and transfers the metadata to another set of nested queries. Based on detecting another selection, the system displays a results count for a selected query. The system displays a number representing the number of results returned by the selected query, without displaying the query results.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and kits for quantifying the presence of a microorganism in a sample. Specifically, disclosed are methods for quantifying a pathogen in a sample, such as a food sample, to determine if the levels of pathogen present in the sample are within an acceptable range.

Abstract: Techniques for modifying queries in a set of nested queries are disclosed. A graphical user interface displays a query detail region alongside a nested query display region. The graphical user interface includes functionality to provide for modification of queries in the nested set of queries. Based on a selection by a user, a query modification tool promotes a query attribute from a child query to one or more parent queries. Based on another selection by a user associated with one query in the set of nested queries, the system deletes an attribute from each query in the set of nested queries. Responsive to a selection to create multiple conditions for a query rule, the system modifies the functionality of the user interface to enable entry of multiple condition characteristics. Based on a further selection, the system creates the multiple conditions for the query rule.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable a web site to expose various search providers that it promotes to browsers that navigate to that site. In at least some embodiments, the search providers are exposed using the HTML of a web page. When a browser navigates to that site, it processes the HTML of the associated web page and exposes the promoted search providers to the user. In at least some embodiments, the browser can permit use of one or more search providers without requiring the user to install the search provider. Alternately or additionally, in at least some other embodiments, the browser can enable the user to quickly and efficiently install the search provider so that the search provider can be available whenever the user uses their browser application.

Abstract: A ring oscillator circuit with a frequency that is sensitive to the timing of a clock-to-Q (clk2Q) propagation delay of one or more flip-flops utilized in the ring oscillator. The clock2Q is the delay between the clock signal arriving at the clock pin on the flop and the Q output reflecting the state of the input data signal to the flop. Clk2q delay measurements are made based on measurement of the ring oscillator frequency, leading to more accurate estimates of clk2Q for different types of flip-flops and flip-flop combinations, which may in turn enable improvements in circuit layouts, performance, and area.

Abstract: Determining whether a particular sample is what it is labeled or sold as is an important concept, particularly to those who buy or sell food products. Particularly for end users, a fast, efficient, accurate way of determining whether a sample is being accurately marketed and sold is necessary. This invention allows a user to rapidly determine if a product is from a certain species or not, based on genetic markers for that product.

Abstract: Techniques for tracing attributes through queries in a set of nested queries are disclosed. A graphical user interface displays individual sub-queries as separate visual representations. Based on detecting a selection, a system analyzes data underlying the visual representations to identify queries, among the set of nested queries, that are associated with a particular attribute. One selection results in the system analyzing the underlying data to identify an origin query for an attribute, from among the set of nested queries. Another selection results in the system analyzing the underlying data to identify queries, from among the set of nested queries, that use the attribute received from a selected query. Another selection results in the system generating SQL code for a selected subset of queries, among the set of nested queries.

Abstract: Technologies related to predicting whether a requested change (deployment) in a cloud computing environment will fail are described herein. An exposomic feature value is computed based upon a time series of risk values, where the risk values represent risk of failure over several historic time intervals. A probabilistic model computes a likelihood that the requested deployment will fail during implementation of the requested deployment based upon the exposomic feature value and a contextual feature value, and a notification is transmitted to a computing device of a change manager to allow the change manager to take remedial action.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for troubleshooting one or more multimedia devices of an audio system have been disclosed herein. An audio loopback device transmits a test signal to a first multimedia device. The first multimedia device, after receiving the test signal, generates a response signal. The audio loopback device triggers a priority controller based on an unsuccessful detection of the response signal. The priority controller troubleshoots a communicative coupling by at least changing a mode of operation of at least one of a first multimedia device or a second multimedia device from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation. The first mode of operation or the second mode of operation may be utilized by the first multimedia device to establish the communicative coupling with the second multimedia device for delivering an audio signal of the second multimedia device on an audio device.
