Abstract: Systems and methods for metadata processing. The method comprises acts of associating, in a first system, metadata with application data processed by a host processor, wherein the application data is protected within the first system by one or more first policies using the metadata, and transferring the application data and its associated metadata to a second system in which the application data is unprotected using metadata processing or is protected by one or more second policies different from the one or more first policies.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a system is provided, comprising enforcement hardware configured to execute, at run time, a state machine in parallel with application code. Executing the state machine may include maintaining metadata that corresponds to one or more state variables of the state machine; matching instructions in the application code to transitions in the state machine; and, in response to determining that an instruction in the application code does not match any transition from a current state of the state machine, causing an error handling routine to be executed. In some embodiments, a description of a state machine may be translated into at least one policy to be enforced at run time based on metadata labels associated with application code and/or data manipulated by the application code.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector which comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding an antibody or antigen binding fragment that binds to nicotine or a nicotine analog. The invention also is directed to a composition comprising the AAV vector and methods of using the AAV vector to induce an immune response against nicotine in a mammal.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a conjugate which comprises an isolated adenovirus hexon protein coupled to nicotine or a nicotine analog, as well as a method of inducing an immune response against nicotine in a human by using the conjugate.

Abstract: A debugging system that allows programmers and software developers to more efficiently find and correct for errors in software applications. Preferred methods of the present invention includes the steps of setting and clearing watchpoints, statement stepping a program, and stopping a program from a debugger. One method provides for a table of watchpoints in the debugger. The debuggee is executed and, when an exception is generated, an address location of the exception is evaluated against the table of watchpoints to determine if a watchpoint has been encountered.
