Abstract: Systems and methods for processing tokenization requests to facilitate safe storage of tokens. An epoch is identified as a current epoch based on a current system time of a node. A seed value is computed by the node based on a start time of the epoch and a secret. A plurality of ephemeral tokens is generated by a randomization service of the node for a set of sensitive data based on the seed value. Each ephemeral token of the plurality of ephemeral tokens has a usable life defined by the epoch. Each sensitive data instance in the set of sensitive data is associated with a particular ephemeral token of the plurality of ephemeral tokens to create a mapping structure in a main memory of the node. A tokenization service of the node is configured to process tokenization requests using the mapping structure.

Abstract: A memory management method includes identifying memory segments of a memory device. The method also includes identifying, for each memory segment, a number of faulty columns and determining a total number of faulty columns for the memory device. The method also includes, in response to a determination that the total number of faulty columns is greater than a threshold, identifying a memory segment having a highest number of faulty columns. The method also includes disabling the memory segment. Another method includes identifying, for each memory segment, a number of faulty memory blocks and determining a total number of faulty memory blocks. The method also includes, in response to a determination that the total number of faulty memory blocks is greater than a threshold, identifying a memory segment having a highest number of faulty memory blocks. The method also includes disabling the memory segment.

Results of the breadth-first-search is defined as a group. A group assignment for the database files is returned.

Abstract: An acrylic powder dispensing pen providing infection prevention such as COVID-19 and the like eliminates the need for nail dipping into acrylic powder jars at a nail salon. The dispensing pen has ergonomic body and an acrylic powder container configured to be coupled to the ergonomic body. The ergonomic body has a nozzle to dispense acrylic powder during use. A flow control area positioned is configured to be manipulated by the user, via finger pressure, to control of a flow rate of the acrylic powder being dispensed from the nozzle.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing a multimodal ethylene polymer composition suitable for producing films by blow moulding. The process comprises (i) copolymerising ethylene and an alpha-olefin comonomer in a first polymerisation step to produce a first ethylene copolymer (PE1); (ii) copolymerising ethylene and an alpha-olefin comonomer in a second polymerisation step in the presence of the first ethylene copolymer to produce a first ethylene polymer mixture (PEM1), wherein the MFR2 of PE1 is higher than the MFR2 of PEM1; and (iii) copolymerising ethylene and an alpha-olefin comonomer in a third polymerisation step in the presence of the PEM1 to produce a second ethylene polymer mixture (PEM2) having a density of from 915 to 925 kg/m3 and a melt flow rate MFR5 of from 0.3 to 5 g/10 min.

Abstract: Techniques are described for “fuzz testing” serverless software applications (for example, software applications implemented by a serverless compute service provided by a service provider network). Fuzz testing is an automated testing technique involving a fuzzer client application (or simply “fuzzer”) providing invalid, unexpected, or random data as inputs to a software application that is the target of the testing to discover software bugs and other runtime issues during execution of the software. To fuzz test a serverless application, a fuzzer continuously sends inputs to the serverless application and, when a runtime error is detected (for example, by monitoring log data generated by the serverless application), a copy of the serverless application can be invoked with the suspected error-inducing input to verify that the input indeed causes the error without interrupting the fuzzer's testing of the original serverless application.

Abstract: A system and method for authenticating users of a data processing platform stores a mapping of a unique user platform identifier to multiple user identity provider identifiers associated with multiple realms for a same user. In some examples, the method includes receiving a request from a client device to establish an access session to perform one or more actions on data of the data processing platform and receiving, from at least one of the first external identity provider of the first realm or the second external identity provider of the second realm, a user identity provider identifier associated with the request. In certain examples, the method includes granting permission to perform the one or more actions on the data of the data processing platform based at least in part on the received user identity provider identifier.
