Abstract: A server establishes a secure session with a client device where a private key used in the handshake is stored in a different server. An encrypted connection is established between the first server and the second server. A message is received from the client device that initiates a procedure to establish the secure session between the client device and the first server. As part of this procedure, the first server transmits over the encrypted connection a request to the second server to use the private key. The first server receives, over the encrypted connection, a response to the request that includes a result of the use of the private key. The first server uses the result during the procedure to establish the secure session.

Abstract: A data communication queuing method includes receiving a communication start notification from a first computing device associated with a first user account, accessing a list of a plurality of other user accounts linked to the first user account, sending a communication availability notification to at least a portion of other user accounts, operating a digital communication queue, enabling a live digital communication between the first user account and the at least one user account for a predetermined period, and ending the live digital communication between the first user account and the at least one user account of the multiple other user accounts after the predetermined period. The digital communication queue is operated by receiving a queue-join request from multiple other user accounts, enqueuing the multiple other user accounts in a determined order, and dequeuing at least one user account of the multiple other user accounts.

Abstract: A crop prediction system performs various machine learning operations to predict crop production and to identify a set of farming operations that, if performed, optimize crop production. The crop prediction system uses crop prediction models trained using various machine learning operations based on geographic and agronomic information. Responsive to receiving a request from a grower, the crop prediction system can access information representation of a portion of land corresponding to the request, such as the location of the land and corresponding weather conditions and soil composition. The crop prediction system applies one or more crop prediction models to the access information to predict a crop production and identify an optimized set of farming operations for the grower to perform.

Abstract: An authoritative domain name system (DNS) server receives DNS requests for domains. The authoritative DNS server transmits DNS responses to the DNS requests with address records that include IP addresses that are selected from a larger pool of IP addresses, where a first DNS response can include IP addresses different from IP addresses included in a second DNS response for the same domain. Also, the same IP addresses may be returned for a first domain and a different, second domain. The authoritative DNS server may select the IP addresses to include in DNS responses to the DNS requests using a round-robin process.

Abstract: A method of testing a fuel injection system or components thereof includes running a high pressure fuel pump to provide fluid under pressure to the fuel injection system or components. The pump flow is controlled via an inlet metering valve by controlling current or voltage supplied to the inlet metering valve dependent on the power to the fuel pump.

Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-IL-23p19 binding compounds, in particular new humanized anti-IL-23p19 antibodies and therapeutic and diagnostic methods and compositions for using the same.

Abstract: This disclosure pertains to modular, moveable light weight structures, i.e., grow towers, including supporting tubing and pumps, used for a hybrid aeroponic and aquaponic growth method of plants and aquaponic growth of animals such as fish wherein the each of the plants and animals are balanced in quantity and produce nutrients that support the growth of the other, i.e., plants and animals. The disclosure also includes an array of sensors, software utilizing artificial intelligence and a CPU for monitoring, controlling and facilitating the growth. The structure and methods utilize and maintain a substantially equilibrium growing conditions requiring minimum intervention. The structure and method also utilizes monitoring of multiple growth variables with systems and CPU programing to adjust and maintain equilibrium conditions.

Abstract: A method and system for self-contained growth and harvesting of plant and animal foodstuffs and energy generation for terrestrial and non-terrestrial uses. The system can be self-contained and sealed from an ambient atmosphere wherein sufficient oxygen and carbon dioxide levels are maintained (bio-regenerative) to support human life. The system and method may utilize aquaculture and hydroponic plant growth with a digester for converting waste into nutrients. Water may circulate among the digester, aquaculture tanks and hydroponic growth tanks. The method may be scalable to support varying quantities of human life. The system and method may generate energy and consume greater quantities of carbon dioxide than generated. The system may be energy self-sufficient utilizing solar, wind or other energy sources such as generated methane gas.

Abstract: A method of forming a component from a gamma prime precipitation-strengthened nickel-base superalloy. The method entails formulating the superalloy to have a sufficiently high carbon content and forging the superalloy at sufficiently high local strain rates so that, following a supersolvus heat treatment, the component is characterized by a fine and substantially uniform grain size distribution, preferably finer than ASTM 7 and more preferably in a range of about ASTM 8 to 10.

Abstract: A steel article is fabricated by providing an iron-base alloy having less than about 0.5 weight percent aluminum, melting the alloy to form a melt, adding calcium to the melt, thereafter adding aluminum to the melt to increase the aluminum content of the melt to more than about 0.5 weight percent aluminum, and casting the melt to form a casting. Other calcium additions may be made simultaneously with the adding of aluminum, and after the adding of aluminum but before casting the melt. The calcium additions deoxidize the melt to minimize the formation of clustered aluminum-oxygen-based inclusions.
