Abstract: The disclosure relates to minimizing power consumption of a WiFi system-on-chip (SOC) during idle periods. The disclosed architecture includes memory banks for the WiFi SoC's embedded processor that can be independently powered on/off and a Memory Management Unit (MMU) to translate virtual addresses to physical addresses and generate exceptions to process accesses to virtual addresses without a corresponding physical address. The architecture can implement a demand paging scheme whereby a MMU fault from an access to code/data not within the embedded memory causes the processor to fetch the code/data from an off-chip secondary memory. To minimize page faults, the architecture stores WiFi client code/data within the embedded processor's memory that is repeatedly accessed with a short periodicity or where there is an intolerance for delays of accessing the code/data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for replacing a hose coupled to a BOP located subsea are provided. Embodiments include coupling an electromechanical tool to a hose fitting coupled to the BOP, and rotating, with the electromechanical tool, a first swivel fitting with respect to the hose fitting until a first hose is decoupled from the hose fitting. Some embodiments may also include coupling, with the electromechanical tool, a second swivel fitting to the hose fitting to couple a second hose to the hose fitting. The second swivel fitting may be rotated with respect to the hose fitting until the second hose is securely coupled to the hose fitting.

Abstract: The present invention relates to nematicides, which are compositions that kill nematodes when placed in physical contact with nematodes. Nematodes do not decompose organic matter, but, instead, are parasitic and free-living organisms that feed on living material. M. incognita is a root knot nematode that has the ability to cause infection in more than 2,000 species of plants. Specifically, the present invention relates to CED-4 peptides that effectively kill nematodes. These CED-4 peptides are segments of the CED-4 protein. This invention is directed to a nematicide composition comprising an effective amount of a CED-4 peptide consisting of no more than 50 amino acids. In one aspect of the invention, the nematicide composition consists of no more than 30 amino acids. In another aspect of the invention, the nematicide consists of no more than 20 amino acids.

Abstract: A method and system for access-controlled decryption in big data stores is provided. In an implementation, a system provides a method for encryption that stores meta-information about sensitive data elements being encrypted in a big data store, such as a Hadoop system, in which the bulk of the data may remain unencrypted. In an implementation, the system reads the stored meta-information at decryption time to determine where the encrypted data is within a large and unencrypted file system, and to determine whether or not an individual user has access rights to decrypt a given element of sensitive data. The system allows fine-grain control over access rights to sensitive data during decryption.
