    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for performing operational transforms on a document. A first operation is received at a first server that includes a first object of an electronic document. In response to receiving the first operation, the first server prohibits a second server from having write access to the first object. The first server applies the first operation to the first object to obtain a transformed first object. In response to obtaining the transformed first object, the first server allows the second server to have write access to the first object. These steps are repeated for a second object associated with a second portion of the electronic document that is different from the first portion of the electronic document.

    Abstract: An interstitial creator provides an interstitial creation interface for display on a user device, the interstitial creation interface facilitating addition of an interstitial to a playlist comprising pointers to media files of media items to be played one after another on the user device without user interaction. The interstitial creator receives, through the interstitial creation interface, user input specifying interstitial configuration parameters for the interstitial, and creates the interstitial based on an interstitial template and the received interstitial configuration parameters, wherein the created interstitial is supplemental content to be added before or after one of the media files of the media items.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for accessing portions of a file at a client device. One or more portions of a file are selected for downloading to the client device, wherein the file is stored on a web-based storage system in communication with the client device via a network. At least one portion in the selected one or more portions is identified that is not stored on the client device. A request is transmitted, without user interaction, to the web-based storage system to download the identified at least one portion of the file, and the identified at least one portion of the file is downloaded to the client device via the network.

    Abstract: In a general aspect, a computer-implemented method can include receiving, by a device including a plurality of functional elements, an indication of a service to be implemented by the device. The method can also include determining one or more functional elements of the device that are needed to implement the service. The one or more functional elements needed to implement the service can be a subset of the plurality of functional elements of the device. The method can further include initializing the device by activating the one or more functional elements needed to implement the service.

    Abstract: A request of a channel owner is received to enable an online community option to facilitate communications between the channel owner and viewers of a channel of the channel owner on a content sharing platform. The online community option is associated with the channel in a data store, and a channel GUI comprising a GUI element representing the online community option is provided for presentation to the channel owner. An online community GUI is provided to allow the channel owner to submit a post to initiate online conversation with viewers of the channel. The channel GUI is provided for presentation to a viewer of the channel. In response to a selection of the GUI element representing the online community option, the online community GUI comprising the post of the channel owner is provided, and the viewer of the channel is allowed to respond to the post.

    Abstract: Enhanced Coulomb repulsion screening around light element nuclei is achieved by way of utilizing electromagnetic (EM) radiation to induce plasmon oscillations in target structures (e.g., nanoparticles) in a way that produces high density electron clouds in localized regions of the target structures, thereby generating charge density variations around light element atoms located in the localized regions. Each target structure includes an electrically conductive body including light elements (e.g., a metal hydride/deuteride/tritide) that is configured to undergo plasmon oscillations in response to the applied EM radiation. The induced oscillations causes free electrons to converge in the localized region, thereby producing transient high electron charge density levels that enhance Coulomb repulsion screening around light element (e.g., deuterium) atoms located in the localized regions. Various systems capable of implementing enhanced Coulomb repulsion screening are described, and various nanostructure compositions and configurations are disclosed that serve to further enhance fusion reaction rates.

    Abstract: Systems and methods that automatically identify and extract or distinguish sub-conversations within a live chat session, are provided. In an aspect, a system includes a reception component configured to receive comments associated with a common topic, wherein the comments are displayed via a first graphical user interface. The system further includes an identification component configured to identify a subset of the comments associated with a sub-topic within the common topic, wherein in response to identification of the subset of comments, the subset of comments are distinguished among the comments as displayed via the first graphical user interface or another graphical user interface.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for discovering and selecting location-based music. The disclosed method includes identifying a user having a user device, determining a distance zone proximate to the user device, and identifying a group of users having respective nearby devices within the distance zone. Each of the nearby devices is in progress of playing a selected music track. Each of the identified user device and the nearby devices has access to an application for accessing online music. The disclosed method further includes generating a playlist for the user device based on examination of the selected music tracks being played by the users and forwarding the generated playlist to the user device.
