20100085046 | HYPERPOLARIZED DYNAMIC CHEMICAL SHIFT IMAGING WITH TAILORED MULTIBAND EXCITATION PULSES - A method for performing magnetic resonance spectroscopy is described. The method generally includes applying a tailored multiband spectral-spatial radio frequency excitation pulse to a sample including a first species and at least a second species having a different resonant frequency than the first species. The multiband excitation pulse excites the first species according to a first amplitude and excites the second species according to a second amplitude that is substantially greater than the first amplitude. Data is acquired from the sample. The acquired data is then utilized to generate a spectroscopic output. By way of example, the spectroscopic output is a spectroscopic image. In particular embodiments, the data for the first and second species is acquired dynamically over an observation window of time. | 04-08-2010 |

For example, the account selection rules can dictate selection of a user account based on the type of user account; the type of content item; the client device that created the content item; the time the content item was created, modified, or uploaded; the location the content item was created, modified, or uploaded; etc. The account selection rules can be specified by a user or be heuristics based on general assumptions, data gathered regarding the user, and/or historical data gathered from content items already assigned to the user accounts. The content item can be assigned to the selected user account. | 10-30-2014 |
20140330776 | IMPORTING CONTENT ITEMS - Content items stored on a client device can be imported to a content management system. The client device can be configured to search on the client device for specified file extensions to identify content items to be imported. The search can be of the entire memory, or alternatively, locations known to likely include content items. For example, the search can be based on folders known to be used by content management applications to store content items. Upon identifying content items, an import interface can be presented to the user that enables the user to select whether to proceed with the import. Further, the import interface can enable the user to select import parameters such as the type of import and which content items to import. A user can be enabled to select a subset of content items based on a variety of gathered metadata associated with the content items. | 11-06-2014 |
20140359085 | ACCESS PERMISSIONS FOR SHARED CONTENT - Various embodiments of the disclosed technology can configure access permissions for content shared via an online content management system. In one example, a first user of the online content management system can share his directory including files with other users (“recipients”). Upon agreeing to the content sharing from the first user, the recipients can reconstruct local representations of the shared directory and any included file (i.e., local representations of shared content). Access permissions associated with the recipients' local representations of the shared content can be configured to prevent unpermitted/unauthorized modifying or deleting of the local representations by the recipients. However, the first user can maintain read and write permissions, permitting him to make modifications or deletions to the shared content. The recipients' local representations of the shared content can be updated by the online content management system to include the modifications or deletions made by the first user. | 12-04-2014 |
20160026815 | Collection Folders in a Content Management System - A content management system allows a user to create a collection folder to which a submitting user can add content items without being able to access content items added to the folder by other submitting users. A collection folder is created in a namespace of a collecting user and folder is made available to multiple submitting users to allow the submitting users to add items to the folder. When a submitting user first request to store a content item in the collection folder, the content management system creates a sub-folder associated with the submitting user in the collection folder and stores the content item in the sub-folder. The submitting user is given rights to the sub-folder, but is not given rights to sub-folders created for other submitting users. | 01-28-2016 |
