Abstract: One example includes a tunable current-mirror qubit. The qubit includes a plurality of flux tunable elements disposed in a circuit loop. A first portion of the flux tunable elements can be configured to receive a first input flux and a remaining portion of the flux tunable elements can be configured to receive a second input flux to control a mode of the tunable current-mirror qubit between a microwave excitation mode to facilitate excitation or quantum state manipulation of the tunable current-mirror qubit via a microwave input signal and a noise-protected mode to facilitate storage of the quantum state of the tunable current-mirror qubit. The qubit also includes at least one capacitor interconnecting nodes between respective pairs of the flux tunable elements to facilitate formation of Cooper-pair excitons in each of the microwave excitation mode and the noise-protected mode.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for providing consumable collaboration insights related to a file in a collaboration environment. In one aspect, data associated with at least one of a file and collaborators of the file is mined. One or more collaboration events related to the file may be determined using the mined data. A summary of the one or more collaboration events related to the file may be generated. The summary of the one or more collaboration events may be sent to a client computing device for displaying a summarized view of the one or more collaboration events as a collaboration pane within the file.

Abstract: A mechanism and model by which to manage inadvertent edits of electronic content. The model determines the likelihood of whether a modification made to a document is intentional or was inadvertent and assist users in identifying these edits. The proposed devices and method can significantly improve workflow efficiency and allow users to feel more comfortable in the development and use of their electronic content, and/or reduce the possibility of other users causing accidental or unintentional errors in a document.

Abstract: Enabling interaction with an external service feature via a productivity application is provided. Features in an application are oftentimes an integration of an external or third party service into the application. To enable access to a feature, such as for testing purposes, a secret globally unique identifier (GUID) is input into a designated interface of the application, and a request is sent to enable the external service feature, wherein the request provides an indication to provide resources to interact with the external service feature. The application receives the resources and enables interaction with the external service feature via the productivity application by providing an interface within the productivity application for interacting with the external service feature. Various GUIDs may be used to enable different features. Further, another GUID may be used to disable interaction with the external service feature.

Abstract: In example embodiments, a server stores, in one or more data repositories, a plurality of files that are accessible to a first user of a client device. The server computes, for each file in the plurality of files, a score representing a likelihood that the first user will access the file. The server determines that, for one or more files from the plurality of files, the score exceeds a threshold. The server caches the one or more files in a local cache memory of the client device in response to determining that the score exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a chemical tank comprising a tank body and a tank mouth. The tank body includes a tank body part, a tank top and a tank bottom. The tank mouth arranged on the tank top includes a mouth body and a joint part. A stamping fastening structure for connecting the joint part and the tank body is arranged therebetween. Further, a positioning structure is disposed at the junction of the joint part and the tank body. A pressure-proof protective structure located in the joint part and the tank top is provided on the periphery of the stamping fastening structure. Herein, the positioning structure acts to enhance the positioning effect. Besides, the pressure-proof protective structure plays a role of pressure-proof protection. The tank mouth and the tank top are produced by stamping fastening, thus achieving high production efficiency, low cost and high strength.
