Abstract: A data dictionary generation system automatically populates and updates a data dictionary for listings offering shared data. A data dictionary includes metadata describing the shared data, including the individual objects, such as the individual tables, schemas, views, and functions. The shared data and each individual data object may be described in the data dictionary by a set of data fields that corresponds to the shared dataset or the object type of the individual object. The data dictionary can be presented to data consumers along with the description of the listing to provide data consumers with a comprehensive description of the shared data provided by a listing, including a high-level summary of the shared data and description of each individual object included in the shared data. The data dictionary allows data consumers to understand the contents of the shared data and how to use the shared data.

Abstract: A method and a system implement a thermal context manager (hereinafter “TCM”) that detects a thermal state and a position of a computing device. Based on the detected thermal state(s) and the detected position(s) of the computing device, the TCM initiates an action associated with the computing device. The TCM continually monitors the computing device in order to create a thermal state profile of the computing device. To create the thermal state profile, the TCM stores data representing each detected instance of the thermal state of the computing device and data representing each detected position of the computing device.

Abstract: A method of independently changing a melt rheology property value of a bimodal polyethylene polymer being made using a bimodal catalyst system in a single gas phase polymerization reactor. The method comprises process conditions comprising alkane(s) in the reactor. The method comprises a bimodal catalyst system that is characterized by an inverse response to alkane(s) concentration. The method comprises changing concentration of the alkane(s) in the reactor by an amount sufficient to effect a measurable change in the melt rheology property value; wherein the bimodal catalyst system is characterized by an inverse response to alkane(s) concentration such that when the alkane(s) concentration is increased, the melt rheology property value of the resulting bimodal polyethylene polymer is decreased, and when the alkane(s) concentration is decreased, the melt rheology property value of the resulting bimodal polyethylene polymer is increased.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing conversion path performance measures and reports. In one aspect, user interaction data are obtained, were the user interaction data specify user interactions for a plurality of conversions. User interactions that are associated with each conversion are selected from the user interaction data, where the associated user interactions for each conversion are user interactions with a converting user during the conversion cycle for the conversion. Using the user interaction data for the selected user interactions, a quantity of user interactions that are associated with each conversion and occurred during the conversion cycle for the conversion are determined. In turn, conversion path performance measures are computed and reports specifying the conversion path performance measures are generated.
