Abstract: A dental floss holder comprises a handle and two prongs, and a winding column is arranged at the connection point of the handle and the two prongs. A groove is arranged on the outside of two prongs. A winding groove is arranged on the winding column. The winding groove on the winding column is communicated with the groove on the two prongs. The two prongs extend from the upper end of the handle in a direction different from the direction of the central axis of the handle. The winding column comprises a column bottom close to the handle and a column cap away from the handle. The diameter of the column cap is greater than the diameter of the column bottom. The handle of the dental floss holder is perpendicular to the two prongs.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for improving debugging efficiency through fallibility skip functionality are provided. The method initiates a fallibility skip mode within a programming environment. The method identifies a code module to be translated from a first coding language to a second coding language. The code module including a function statement. A modified function statement is generated based on the function statement and the initiation of the fallibility skip mode. One or more exception handling functions are added based on the modified function statement and the fallibility skip mode. The method generates a modified code module in the second coding language based on the fallibility skip mode.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for path management in a processing system. In a method, in response to receiving a request for adding a target controlling unit into a processing system, a plurality of network nodes in the processing system are divided into a group of subnets based on a topology of the plurality of network nodes, the plurality of network nodes being connected to at least one controlling unit in the processing system. A workload estimation is determined, the workload estimation representing a workload to be caused by the target controlling unit to the processing system. A target subnet is selected from the group of subnets for connecting the target controlling unit into the processing system based on the workload estimation. With these embodiments, the target subnet may be selected in an automatic way such that the performance of the processing system may be increased.

Abstract: Aspects include generating a matrix based on a first sample of source code. Each cell in the matrix can correspond to a unique element in the source code. Each unique element can be encoded to a predetermined value according to an encoding rule. A first waveform is generated by combining a left-side curve and a right-side curve. The left-side curve encodes a first position of non-zero cells in each row of the matrix and the right-side curve encodes a last position of non-zero cells in each row of the matrix. A second sample of source code is identified that matches the first sample of source code based on a comparison of the first waveform to a second waveform constructed from the second sample of source code.

Abstract: Examples of techniques for quick response (QR) code deformation are described herein. An aspect includes receiving a first QR code, wherein the first QR code is scannable by a QR code scanner at a first range of angles. Another aspect includes determining a scanner angle, the scanner angle being outside of the first range of angles. Another aspect includes generating a second QR code based on the first QR code and the scanner angle, wherein the second QR code comprises a deformed QR code that is scannable by the QR code scanner at a second range of angles that is distinct from the first range of angles.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes determining a set of parameters defining an arrangement of a plurality of copies of a standard barcode in two or more of layers of a layered barcode encoding subject data. The layered barcode has a plurality of cells, and for each cell in the layered barcode, a combined value for the cell is determined, where the combined value of the cell indicates a respective value of each layer at the cell, and the combined value is mapped to a color corresponding to the combined value. The plurality of layers of the layered barcode are generated, such that, at each cell of the plurality of cells, the layered barcode includes the color corresponding to the combined value of the cell.
