IPC Code(s): C12P19/34, B01J19/00
Abstract: de novo polynucleotide synthesis is performed with a substrate-bound polymerase. the polymerase is attached to a solid substrate such as a microelectrode array. the polymerase adds nucleotides to growing polynucleotides strands that are also attached to the solid substrate. spatial control of polymerase activity is achieved by changing the rate of nucleotide polymerization at selected locations on the surface of the solid substrate. the rate of polymerization is changed by inhibiting or promoting activity of the polymerase. in some implementations, activation of electrodes in the microelectrode array changes the rate of nucleotide polymerization. nucleotides are added to the growing polynucleotide strands at areas where the polymerase is active. by varying the locations where the substrate-bound polymerase is active and the species of nucleotide added, a population of polynucleotides with different, arbitrary sequences is synthesized on the surface of the solid substrate.

IPC Code(s): G06F8/41, G06F8/65
Abstract: the techniques disclosed herein enable systems to reduce the time required to terminate a set of microservices for an application while ensuring high availability and preventing request failures. this is accomplished through a termination manager which retrieves request queues for the microservices to analyze outstanding requests that require processing prior to termination. based on the outstanding requests, the termination manager constructs call graphs for each request. the call graphs capture the operational flow of the associated request by defining a sequence of microservices whose functionality is invoked by the request. from an initial analysis, the termination manager can determine that some of the microservices do not appear in the call graphs, indicating that the microservices are not needed to process the outstanding requests. accordingly, the unneeded microservices are terminated. as requests are processed by the remaining microservices, the termination manager gradually terminates the remaining microservices based on the call graphs.

IPC Code(s): G06F9/30, G06F9/32, G06F9/38
Abstract: solutions for improving parallelization of computer programs interleave machine instruction placement in memory. a compiler decomposes a software loop in stages to interleave instructions such that, for contiguous sets of instructions having some minimum length (e.g., each set has at least two to four instructions), instructions within a set have no dependency on prior instructions within that set. this enables the compiled program to be more fully parallelized—for example, either by a superscalar processor executing the compiled program, or by the compiler turning each set of instructions into a very long instruction word (vliw)—to automatically benefit from the disclosed interleaving of instructions that eliminates dependencies.

Abstract: methods and systems provide for a notebook interactive programming environment, having out-of-order code-cell execution, which communicates potential cell execution outcomes. if an event handler receives an event (e.g., open notebook, code change, code execution, etc.) for a cell, without a request for a specific type of analysis (e.g., data-leakage, stale-state), intra-cell analysis is executed based-on the cell's abstract semantics, and an abstract state and pre-summaries are output that indicate the cell's propagation dependency (unbounded variables). if an analysis is associated with the event, starting with the stored abstract state, inter-cell analysis is recursively executed on successor cells having propagation dependencies, until a terminating criteria is reached. outcomes (e.g., affected cell, line number, bug type, metrics, etc.) are sent via the notebook user-interface to warn users, ahead of concrete code execution, of hypothetical unsafe or safe actions in executing the notebook's code cells.

Abstract: techniques described herein are directed to proxies configured to handle identity and access management for a web application. for instance, a first proxy receives requests to the application from a browser. the first proxy redirects the browser to an identity endpoint, which prompts the user to enter authentication credentials for the application. upon successful authentication, the endpoint provides an access token for accessing web apis to the first proxy. the first proxy provides the token to a second proxy, which stores the token. the second proxy receives anonymous api calls from the web application to the web apis. when receiving an anonymous api call, the second proxy obtains the token and inserts it into an outgoing request to the api. responsive to the api returning a message indicating that the token is invalid, the second proxy communicates with the first proxy to obtain a new token from the endpoint.

Abstract: migration of a user of a computing device to accept an updated version of a software feature to the exclusion of a prior version of the software feature is implemented without user friction. telemetry data corresponding to use of the updated version and of the prior version is stored. the telemetry data is evaluated utilizing a trained machine learning model trained using external telemetry data with respect to use of the updated version and to use of the prior version. a migration acceptance value indicative of whether the user will accept use of the updated version to exclusion of the prior version is calculated. the migration acceptance value is compared to a threshold value determined by the trained model. if the migration acceptance value exceeds the threshold value, the prior version is excluded from the user profile.

Abstract: methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums described herein are configured to fuse image frames captured by a camera to generate an image frame having high dynamic range and reduced amount of noise. for instance, after a shutter button of the camera is activated, one or more history image frames captured during a preview mode of the camera (e.g., before the shutter button is activated) are compared to a highlight recovery frame captured after the shutter button is activated to determine a level of similarity therebetween. the history image frame(s) may be captured with a first exposure value, and the highlight recovery frame may be captured with a second exposure value that is different than the first exposure value. history image frame(s) that are determined to be relatively similar to the highlight recovery frame are combined with the highlight recovery frame to generate the image frame having high dynamic range.
