Abstract: In a method of facilitating flight operations, a payload is coupled to a spacecraft via a payload interface. The relative alignment of the payload and the spacecraft is dynamically adjusted (e.g., for thrust alignment) while the payload remains coupled to the spacecraft.

Abstract: A system and methods for cross-platform wagering with group-dynamic results are described. The methods use wagering data collected in real-time from cross-platform mobile and browser applications. Payouts are based on group-dynamic inputs and results are updated on a continuous basis.

Abstract: A system for monitoring a plurality of turbomachinery systems is disclosed herein. In embodiments, the system includes a monitoring system data provider, a plurality of monitoring system servers, and a monitoring device. The monitoring system data provider periodically receives sensor data over a network from the plurality of turbomachinery systems and stores the sensor data in a monitoring system data store. The plurality of monitoring system servers connect to the monitoring system data provider and provide the sensor data for one of the turbomachinery systems to the monitoring device connected to a first monitoring system server of the plurality of monitoring system servers.

Abstract: When queuing work items for asynchronous execution, the approaches set forth herein enable a debugger to provide more meaningful and complete stack trace information for enqueued work items. An example system identifies a work item to be enqueued for asynchronous execution as a separate thread during runtime of a program. Upon enqueuing the work item in an execution queue, the system captures pre-queue stack trace information associated with the work item, and associates the pre-queue stack trace information with the work item. The system removes the work item from the execution queue for execution, wherein the execution is associated with current stack trace information separate from the pre-queue stack trace information. Upon detecting an event associated with executing the work item, the system merges the pre-queue stack trace information with the current stack trace information to yield a merged stack trace.

Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to methods and systems for facilitating software development. In particular, aspects of the technology relate to a method including steps for receiving source code from a user in an editor window, automatically compiling the source code to produce compiled code, and executing the compiled code to generate an output, wherein the output comprises one or more results from execution of the compiled code. In some aspects, the method can also include steps for providing a results window to the user, the results window displaying at least one of the results from the execution of the compiled code, and providing a visualization window to the user, wherein the visualization window is associated with a progress timeline and wherein the visualization window is configured to display an animation of the at least one of the results from execution of the compiled code.

Abstract: A wound dressing includes one or more layers containing a first anti-microbial agent and at least one of: a chelating agent, and a second anti-microbial agent.

Abstract: An article includes a film layer; at least one layer of adhesive on at least one side of the film layer; a patch or strip comprising at least one antimicrobial agent, the patch or strip disposed on the same side of the film layer as the at least one layer of adhesive; and a relatively non-flexible sheet releasably attached to the side of the film layer opposite to the patch or strip.

Abstract: An antimicrobial fiber is described including: an inner layer and an outer layer; wherein the inner layer and the outer layer comprise at least one of the following characteristics: (I) the inner layer and the outer layer comprise of different concentrations, or different release rates, of at least one antimicrobial agent; and (II) the inner layer and the outer layer comprise different antimicrobial agents. An alternative antimicrobial fiber includes an antimicrobial agent compounded or combined with a dissolvable substance to promote release or binding of the antimicrobial agent. Related articles are also described.
