Abstract: System and method for creating clips of larger audio streams based on very accurate in point and out point and for searching for the clips. The system and method use byte signatures in MP3 or media files to accurately and efficiently find a specific cue point, such as for example, the beginning of a sentence in a podcast. The system and method are configured to search and locate a given clip even if that sequence moves inside the stream, such as for example, if the audio file adds additional content like advertisements or other audio sequence, the hash representation of the cue point can still be found with millisecond accuracy.

Abstract: A process for treating a gaseous effluent obtained from a pyrolytic decomposition of one or more polymers, including: a condensation step, in a condensation chamber maintained at a first pressure, of a gaseous effluent placed in contact with an absorbent liquid, the temperature of the absorbent liquid being below the temperature of the gaseous effluent, a step of partial vaporization, by expansion of the condensate in a chamber maintained at a second pressure below the first pressure, a reinjection step which includes at least partly redirecting a first liquid or vapor fraction, obtained on conclusion of the partial vaporization step, to the condensation chamber, and a recovery step including purification of a second liquid or vapor fraction, obtained on conclusion of the partial vaporization step and charged with monomer(s).

Abstract: A linear actuator comprises a motor having an output. An end block is connected to a casing and to the motor and has a counterbore at a distal end with a bearing seated and retained in the counterbore. A coupling assembly couples the output shaft of the motor to a threaded shaft for transmission of the rotational output to the threaded shaft. A sliding tube is in sliding arrangement with the inner cavity of the casing for moving in translation relative to the casing.

Abstract: An extensible mechanism for providing access control for logical objects in a network environment. A security broker is able to dynamically register one or more claims providers, each of which can assert one or more claims about logical objects. The claims providers may be purpose built or may be third party applications which expose data or business rules for use. Claims may be augmented by additional claims providers after the original claim is asserted. The applicability of claims may be scope limited either at the time the claims provider is registered or when the user requests that a security token be issued.

Abstract: A traction control assembly for connection between a monorail bogie frame and a monorail car. The traction control assembly comprising a first traction link pivotally connected to a first bell crank mechanism and a second traction link pivotally connected to a second bell crank mechanism. The first traction link and the second traction link are capable of absorbing traction forces applied to the monorail bogie. The traction control assembly further comprises a cross link interconnecting the first bell crank mechanism and the second bell crank mechanism and a passive steering assist device interconnecting the first bell crank mechanism and the second bell crank mechanism. The steering assist device causes the traction control assembly to insert shear forces on the monorail bogie during travel of the monorail bogie over a curved section of monorail track for facilitating rotational motion between the monorail bogie and the monorail car.

Abstract: A method for sign-on and sign-out for a computer system. The method includes receiving a first sign-on request for the computer system and obtaining, from the first sign-on request, a first user identifier where the first user identifier corresponds to a first user for the computer system. The method then includes obtaining, from the first sign-on request, a first uniform resource locator (URL) and determining whether the first URL includes a first root name for the computer system. When a determination is made that the first URL includes the first root name for the computer system a first cookie associated with the first user is issued and a first sub-domain name is obtained from the first URL. Also, a second cookie may be issued associated with the first sub-domain name and, when the first cookie and the second cookie are issued, the first user may sign-on to the computer system. In one or more embodiments, the method may include receiving a sign-out request.

Abstract: A technology is described that is capable of generating high-throughput sequencing (HTS) read length DNA products to accurately and reliably provide exon connectivity information for alternatively spliced isoforms. The method is not limited by the initial size of the isoform as the technology removes the template oligonucleotide sequence and a newly formed full length ligated product provides an HTS-compatible read length sequence that comprises information that corresponds to the consecutive order of the exons in the original template oligonucleotide.

Abstract: A server system receives and installs multiple claim provider plug-ins. Each of the claim provider plug-ins implements the same software interface. However, each of the claim provider plug-ins can provide claims that assert different things. Claims provided by the claim provider plug-ins can be used to control access of users to a resource.

Abstract: A method for sign-on and sign-out for a computer system includes: receiving a first sign-on request for the computer system; obtaining, from the first sign-on request, a first user identifier, the first user identifier corresponding to a first user for the computer system; obtaining, from the first sign-on request, a first uniform resource locator (URL); determining whether the first URL includes a first root name for the computer system; when a determination is made that the first URL includes the first root name for the computer system: issuing a first cookie; associating the first cookie with the first user; obtaining a first sub-domain name from the first URL; issuing a second cookie, the second cookie being different from the first cookie; associating the second cookie with the first sub-domain name; and when the first cookie and the second cookie are issued, signing-on the first user to the computer system.

Abstract: A server system sends a first credential request to a passive requestor at a client device. After sending the first credential request, the server system receives a credential for a user of the client device. If the credential is valid, the server system can provide the passive requestor with access to a resource provided by the server system. After providing the passive requestor with access to the resource, the server system provides an active requestor at the client device with access to the resource without sending a second credential request to the active requestor. Consequently, it may not be necessary for a user of the client device to provide credentials twice in order for the passive requestor and the active requestor to access the resource.

Abstract: A process for separating vapors, for example for separating water from ethanol, uses a gas separation membrane unit. Permeate from the membrane unit is compressed and may be used for example as heating steam for distillation. The membrane unit may have two or more stages. Permeate from a stage may be condensed and used for example as fermentation make up water, compressed and fed to the permeate from an upstream stage or heating steam, or fed to another membrane stage for further dewatering. The gas separation membrane unit may be used to remove water from a fermentation broth that has been partially dewatered, for example by one or more of a distillation column or molecular sieve.
