Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus are described for processing mutations for a remote database. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a log of database mutations from a client device, the log of database mutations indicating changes previously made to a client version of a database stored on the client device, and each database mutation specifying: an entity included in the database; an operation for the entity; and a client version number for the entity; identifying, in the log of database mutations, two or more database mutations that each specify a same client version number for a same entity; determining, based on a conflict resolution policy, that the two or more database mutations are eligible for collapsing; and collapsing the two or more database mutations into a single database mutation.

Abstract: The disclosure includes a system and method for discovering content in a topical community. The system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions when executed cause the system to: receive data indicating a first engagement action associated with a content item, the first engagement action performed by a first user; determine a topic associated with the content item; determine a topical reputation score related to the topic for the first user based on one or more second engagement actions performed by one or more second users associated with the content item; determine that the topical reputation score satisfies a reputation threshold; unlock the topic for the first user responsive to the determination that the topical reputation score satisfies the reputation threshold and provide the first user an ability to curate other content items associated with the unlocked topic.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for coating a medical device.

Abstract: Polymers endcapped with furanones and compositions containing such polymers are suitable for use in making textiles, medical devices, delivery agents, packaging materials, coatings for such items, and the like.

Abstract: Polymers initiated with furanones and compositions containing such polymers are suitable for use in making textiles, medical devices, delivery agents, packaging materials, coatings for such items, and the like.

Abstract: A system and method for coating a suture are disclosed. The system includes a spool including a core having a suture wrapped thereabout and a dip tank including a first coating composition. The dip tank is configured to submerge the spool therein, thereby coating the suture with the first composition to form a pre-coated suture. The system also includes a coating device including a second coating composition. The coating device is configured to overcoat the pre-coated suture with the second coating composition.
