    Abstract: In one embodiment, an indication of a number of beneficiaries that are to be granted access to a user account may be received via a graphical user interface. A plurality of sub-keys may be generated according to the number of beneficiaries such that the sub-keys together generate a master key associated with the user account. The master key and/or the plurality of sub-keys may be stored in association with the user account. The plurality of sub-keys may be provided to the beneficiaries or may be provided for distribution to the beneficiaries. A plurality of keys may be received. It may be verified that the plurality of keys, when combined, generate the master key associated with the user account. Access to the user account may be granted based, at least in part, on a result of verifying that the plurality of keys, when combined, generate the master key.

    Abstract: A location prediction framework is described for applying location labels or tags to target documents and/or identifying location-sensitive queries. Terms in content and queries are represented by corresponding term locations vectors (TLVs) in which the term is represented as a weighted distribution across locations. Each element of a TLV represents a probability that the term corresponding to the TLV relates to a particular location. Predicted locations may be introduced as features to a ranking framework to improve the identification and ranking of search results for a given query.

    Abstract: A system may provide for retrieving data within a selected region of a map is provided. The system may include mobile devices configured to display a map and to receive a user selection of a region of the map. An application server may receive data from the mobile device, representing the user selected region of the map and a search criterion. A database may be in operative communication with the application server and executes a query using the data representing the selected region of the map and the search criterion and to return data results corresponding to a plurality of locations within the selected region and related to the search criterion. The mobile device may further be configured to display the data results corresponding to the plurality of locations on the selected region of the map and the displayed data results are automatically updated when the user moves the selected region of the map.

    Abstract: As provided herein, a translated string, received from a translator for an application (e.g., an instrumented application) may be identified. The translated string may be identified based upon the translated string being associated with a service call instruction for the application. A simulated instrumented application may be generated for testing the application. The simulated instrumented application may be generated to comprise the translated string integrated into the application. The simulated instrumented application may comprise an element corresponding to the translated string. A user interface may be generated. The user interface may comprise the simulated instrumented application, the translated string visually associated with the element, and an editing functionality to edit the translated string.

    Abstract: In an example of masterless cache replication, a processor of a server of a plurality of servers hosting a distributed application can receive a local cache event for a local data item stored in an application cache of the server. The processor can determine whether the local cache event is from another server. The processor can also determine whether a remote cache event of the other server is different from the local cache event and whether the local cache event is in conflict with at least one other cache event for the local data item. The processor can also determine whether the local cache event has a higher priority over the at least one other cache event and direct performance of the local cache event amongst the plurality of servers.
