Abstract: A system and method for transferring energy and mass (supplies) in low-gravity environments. The system comprises a launcher and a receiver. The launcher hurls a capsule at a high velocity such that, when caught by the receiver, a portion of the kinetic energy of the launched capsule is converted to potential energy and stored. The stored energy is used at the receiver end for applications such as living habitats, mining operations, life-support systems, etc. In some instances, a portion of the initial energy is used to lob the capsule back, if desired. Launchers and receivers can be set up in different spatial configurations in a low-gravity environment such as in a circle with a centrally located launcher, a launcher downstream of a chain of receivers, or other configurations.

Abstract: A genomic data translation system can be configured to process next-generation sequencing information. The system can receive an output file including raw genome data. The system can parse the output file to determine segments corresponding to individual chromosomes. The system can identify ranges of nucleotides and determine the first set of genes included in a human reference genome listing that fall within the ranges. The system can also maintain a gene list of genes, and determine a matched set of genes that are included in the gene list and the first set of genes. The system can generate a configurable text string including non-configurable regions and configurable regions. The configurable regions can be populated with text based on the raw genomic data, a set of translation rules, and a set of translation text strings.

Abstract: The subject technology at a data system, an ingest request to ingest one or more files into a table. The subject technology, after obtaining the ingest request and prior to the ingesting of the one or more files, persists the one or more files in a first file queue that corresponds to the table, the first file queue further corresponding to a client account, and the data system further comprising a second file queue that corresponds to both a second client account and a second table. The subject technology ingests, by one or more execution nodes, the one or more files into one or more micro-partitions of the table, each of the one or more micro-partitions comprising contiguous units of storage of a storage device.
