Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing persistent execution environments for computation systems including but not limited to interactive computation systems. A service is provided that extends the notion of static containers to dynamically changing execution environments into which users can install code, add files, etc. The execution environments are monitored, and changes to an execution environment are automatically persisted to environment versions(s) so that code run in the execution environment can be run later or elsewhere simply by referring to the environment. There is no explicit build step for the user. Instead, incremental changes are added to environment versions which are stored and are ready to be used to instantiate respective execution environments on other compute instances.

Abstract: A method for producing a screw connection having a screw that is set in rotational motion with a screwdriving head of a screwdriving tool. The screwdriving head has a motor drive for creating the rotational motion of a screw receptacle of the screwdriving head. The screw is driven into at least one mating part of the screw connection in a rapid speed. A torque is detected with which the screw is driven. The rapid speed with a higher rotational speed is changed to a creep speed with a lower rotational speed at a changeover time. The changeover time is determined as a function of the detected torque during screwdriving at rapid speed. The screw is further driven at the creep speed until a head contact time when a head of the screw makes contact on the mating part.

Abstract: Advertisements for brands that are to be aired during media programs are selected based on similarities between the brands and creators of the media programs. As a media program is being aired, data representing content of a media program is processed to identify words being spoken or sung during the media program and sentiments associated with the media program. The media program is classified based on the words and sentiments, and a classification of the media program is compared to attributes of advertisements to determine which of the advertisements is best suited for airing during the media program. Additionally, a set of words that, if spoken or sung during a media program would establish conditions favorable to a given advertisement may be identified and provided to a creator.
