20160139895 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING AND EXECUTING A DOMAIN-SPECIFIC LANGUAGE FOR CLOUD SERVICES INFRASTRUCTURE - A system and method for providing and executing a domain-specific programming language for cloud services infrastructure is provided. The system may be used to integrate references to external entities, such as cloud service compute instances, directly into a domain-specific programming language, allowing developers to easily integrate cloud services directly using the domain-specific programming language. Using a domain-specific programming language, references to external entities (not in memory) as variables may be used. Using the domain-specific programming language described herein, lexical scoping may be mapped onto collections of entities that aren't a native part of the language. In order to facilitate these and other benefits, the system may maintain state information of all references and shared variables across program boundaries. The system may make the state information accessible via a state information service that understands the language features of the domain-specific programming language. | 05-19-2016 |

20130151330 | METHODS AND SYSTEM FOR PREDICTING INFLUENCE-BASIS OUTCOMES IN A SOCIAL NETWORK USING DIRECTED ACYCLIC GRAPHS - In some embodiments, a method includes defining a directed acyclic graph that models a social network. The directed acyclic graph can have a set of alteration nodes that collectively define a joint probability. The method also includes predicting an outcome associated with a proposed alteration with the social network based on the directed acyclic graph. The proposed alteration can be associated with an alteration node from the set of alteration nodes. The method further includes sending an indication of the outcome such that an advertising campaign for the social network includes the proposed alteration. | 06-13-2013 |
20130262867 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PROTECTING SENSITIVE DATA IN DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS - In some embodiments, a method includes receiving encrypted information associated with a user, and calculating a first portion of a shared secret based on the encrypted information associated with the user. The method also includes defining a completed portion of the shared secret based on the first portion of the shared secret and a second portion of the shared secret and storing the completed portion of the shared secret in a memory for a pre-defined period of time. The method includes defining a ticket based on the completed portion of the shared secret, and sending the ticket to a device associated with the user such that data associated with the ticket is accessible based on the ticket within the pre-defined period of time, and not accessible without the ticket or after the pre-defined period of time. | 10-03-2013 |

20140282936 | PROVIDING DEVICES AS A SERVICE - Devices, such as hardware security modules, are provided as a service. A customer of a computing resource provider is able to request the addition of a device to a network of the customer hosted by the computing resource provider. The computing resource provider reconfigures a set of computing resources so that the devices of the customer are able to communicate with the device as if the device was in the customer's own network. | 09-18-2014 |
20150254451 | AUTHENTICATION OF VIRTUAL MACHINE IMAGES USING DIGITAL CERTIFICATES - A vendor of virtual machine images accesses a virtual computer system service to upload a digitally signed virtual machine image to a data store usable by customers of the virtual computer system service to select an image for creating a virtual machine instance. If a digital certificate is uploaded along with the virtual machine image, the virtual computer system service may determine whether the digital certificate has been trusted for use. If the digital certificate has been trusted for use, the virtual computer system service may use a public cryptographic key to decrypt a hash signature included with the image to obtain a first hash value. The service may additionally apply a hash function to the image itself to obtain a second hash value. If the two hash values match, then the virtual machine image may be deemed to be authentic. | 09-10-2015 |

20100028821 | Fine dust removal system for lime kiln - A fine dust removal system for a rotary lime kiln includes a preheater adjacent the charging end of the kiln and a housing adjacent to and communicating with kiln charging end, such that a major portion of not off-gases containing solid particulates are diverted to the preheater and a minor portion thereof directed into the housing. At least a portion of the solid particulates is separated from the hot off-gases in the housing, while the hot off-gases leaving the housing, after solid particulate removal, are directed into the preheater. | 02-04-2010 |
20120279425 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FORMING HYDRATED LIME - An apparatus and method for hydrating lime in a horizontally disposed vessel where adjacent oppositely rotating shafts have first sets of spaced blades extending coaxially with an axis of each shaft and an adjacent second set of blades extending to an angle to the longitudinal axis, the blades directing a mixture of quicklime and water upwardly into a space between the shafts and towards the cover, while forming hydrated lime. | 11-08-2012 |
