Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving user input (e.g., touch input) selecting a content object displayed in an application on the user's mobile device. The mobile device may then send a request to a social-networking system for content objects and social-networking information related to the selected content object. In response to the user input, the mobile device may provide a persistent display of an interactive element (e.g., a bauble) that corresponds to the selected content object. The interactive element may be displayed, and the user may interact with it, without interfering with the underlying application. The interactive element may float over the application window until the user expands or dismisses it. The user may expand the interactive element to reveal a user interface in which the content object and requested related content objects and social-networking information are presented.

Abstract: A durable on-column tunneled frit was developed for use in nanoflow UPLC systems. The frit was tunneled during sol-gel reaction. The tunneled-frit fabrication process is easy and reproducible in terms of back pressure and durability. This design creates low backpressure with high liquid flow, which is suitable for the nanoflowUPLC application. A short packing (2 cm C18 particle) tunneled-frit column was demonstrated to sustain 10,000 psi continuous liquid flow for over one week without any particle leakage or pressure instability. The tunneled-frit was also successfully applied to the fabrication of nanoUPLC trapping and analytical column system. It was demonstrated to have high separation efficiency and sensitivity for the analysis of tryptic peptides as well as improved detection sensitivity for phosphopeptide analysis.
