Abstract: Disclosed in various examples are methods, systems, and machine-readable media for exposing a Representational State Transfer (RESTful) interface to users whereby management commands on a datacenter may be issued remotely from the users' workstations for secure, remote management of the datacenter. An application task automation command (e.g., a POWERSHELL® command) is executed remotely by creating a proxy command (e.g., based on a POWERSHELL® cmdlet code) to cause the application task automation command to be executed when the proxy command is remotely invoked and deploying the proxy command to a remote computer, such as the user's workstation. The remote computer issues a request including a user identifier and any parameters for the application task automation command when the corresponding proxy command has been invoked by the remote computer.

Abstract: Dynamically scheduled testing of a software application on one or more devices are disclosed. The system can schedule and execute of one or more test cases associated with a software application. When a device becomes available for testing, the system can determine the list of commits that have not yet been tested. If there are outstanding untested commits, the system can determine the list of test cases in a test plan that are to be scheduled and executed. For each test in the list of test cases, the system can compute an urgency value. Urgency value can be a function of the untested commits. For example, urgency value can be the number of untested commits associated with each test case. The system can then sort the test cases based on the urgency value and schedule the most “urgent” test case for execution.

Abstract: A process for preparing contact lens with film by plasma UV induced grafting polymerization is disclosed to plasma-modification on contact lens to form hydrophilic functional groups on said contact lens surface, and then to immerse said contact lens in a solution of the mixture of NVP, PEGMA and photoinitiator, and then remove said contact lens from said solution and expose said contact lens to an ultraviolet light from an ultraviolet device to form a thin film on said contact lens surface. Through the thin film, the contact lens can have good hydrophilicity and anti-fouling properties, so when the patient wear said contact lens, he or she does not feel uncomfortable foreign body sensation, significantly reducing deposit and corneal infection risk.

Abstract: Services from domainless machines are made available in a security domain under a virtual name. Each machine is not joined to the domain but can reach a security domain controller. The controller controls at least one security domain using an authentication protocol, such as a modified Kerberos protocol. One obtains a set of security domain credentials, generates a cluster name secret, gives the cluster a virtual name, and authenticates the machines to the domain controller using these items. In some cases, authentication uses a ticket-based protocol which accepts the cluster name secret in place of a proof of valid security domain membership. In some, the domain controller uses a directory service which is compatible with an active directory service; the cluster virtual name is provisioned as an account in the directory service. The cluster virtual name may concurrently serve clients on different security domains of the directory service.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an text query, identifying and ranking multiple content objects corresponding to character strings from the text query. A computing system determines the ranking based on a real-time statistical analysis on the content objects using correlation coefficients of the terms in the content objects with respect to the n-grams identified in the query through parsing. The computing system accesses a real-time query-post log to calculate the correlation coefficients for the terms in the content objects, wherein the real-time query-post log includes multiple entries corresponding to multiple terms extracted from multiple prior queries over a recent time window. Each entry in the real-time query-post log includes a query term, and a related term extracted from a content object of the online social network matching the prior query from which the query term was extracted.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an text query, identifying and ranking multiple content objects corresponding to character strings from the text query. A computing system determines the ranking based on an analysis of the association between the terms in the content objects and the n-grams in the query using term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) scores of the terms. The computing system accesses a query-term index to determine the TF-IDF scores for the terms, wherein the query-term index includes multiple entries corresponding to multiple terms extracted from multiple prior queries. Each entry in the query-term index includes a query term, one or more related terms extracted from content objects of the online social network matching the prior query term, and a term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) score for the respective related terms.
