Abstract: Systems and methods are described for predictively managing calls to tasks on an on-demand code execution environment. Specifically, a task profile can be utilized to predict that a call to a task will be followed by transmission of information to an auxiliary service. Thereafter, the on-demand code execution environment can select a virtual machine to execute the task based, for example, on the speed or reliability of a communication channel between the selected virtual machine and the auxiliary service. If execution of the task does cause transmission of information to the auxiliary service, the information can be transmitted via the communication channel, thereby increasing the speed or reliability of the transmission.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for predictively managing calls to tasks on an on-demand code execution environment. Specifically, a task profile can be utilized to predict that a call to a first task will be followed by a call to a second task. Thereafter, a virtual machine can be loaded with executable code corresponding the second task, even before the call to the second task is received. If the call to the second task is received, the task can then be executed by utilizing the previously loaded executable code, thus increasing the speed at which the second task can be executed on the on-demand code execution environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for monitoring code execution within an on-demand code execution environment or other distributed code execution environment. The distributed, asynchronous nature of such environment can make determining the interactions between code executions difficult relative to traditional, non-distributed systems. The present disclosure enables the interrelations between code executions to be monitored by injecting monitoring information into the calls between those code executions. The monitoring information may be propagated through calls, such that a “path” or “trace” of code executions and calls can be determined. Data generated based on the monitoring information can be used to generate a profile for a set of code, so that a developer or other user may easily debug or optimize execution of the code.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for transforming a data set within a data source into a series of task calls to an on-demand code execution environment or other distributed code execution environment. Such environments utilize pre-initialized virtual machine instances to enable execution of user-specified code in a rapid manner, without delays typically caused by initialization of the virtual machine instances, and are often used to process data in near-real time, as it is created. However, limitations in computing resources may inhibit a user from utilizing an on-demand code execution environment to simultaneously process a large, existing data set. The present application provides a task generation system that can iteratively retrieve data items from an existing data set and generate corresponding task calls to the on-demand computing environment, while ensuring that at least one task call for each data item within the existing data set is made.

Abstract: A needle shield remover for removing a needle shield covering a needle on a syringe includes a body having a proximal portion and a distal portion. The distal portion is moveable between a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration in response to opposite movement of the proximal portion. The distal portion includes an internal opening for receiving and at least partially surrounding a needle shield therein. An anchor extends inwardly from the distal portion into engagement with the needle shield when the distal portion is in the contracted configuration to secure the body to the needle shield. A sleeve is in fixed axial arrangement with the proximal portion of the body. The axial engagement maintains the distal portion of the body in the contracted configuration such that force applied to the sleeve away from the body removes the needle shield and body from a syringe.

Abstract: When the sight impaired become mobile, they often bump their heads on unseen objects and/or hazards that could result in injury. The object detection device uses signal emitting proximity sensors that alert the user to unseen objects. The object detection device notifies the user of detected objects. Stimulators, such as actuators, produce a detected feedback to contact the user to warn the user that an object has been detected and the distance between the object and the user. Each actuator contacts the user at a specific contact point. The actuator contacting the user at a specific contact point informs the user of the distance between the user and the detected object.

Abstract: A service manages a plurality of virtual machine instances for low latency execution of user codes. The service can provide the capability to execute user code in response to events triggered on an auxiliary service to provide implicit and automatic rate matching and scaling between events being triggered on the auxiliary service and the corresponding execution of user code on various virtual machine instances. An auxiliary service may be configured as an event triggering service to detect events and generate event messages for execution of the user codes. The service can request, receive, or poll for event messages directly from the auxiliary service or via an intermediary message service. Event messages can be rapidly converted to requests to execute user code on the service. The time from processing the event message to initiating a request to begin code execution is less than a predetermined duration, for example, 100 ms.
