Abstract: A system and method for providing anonymous validation of a query among a plurality of nodes in a network may receive at a support node a query from a requester node; wherein the query comprises a one-way function representation of at least one data point of information of the requester node; receive at the support server, from at least one validator node, a one-way function representation of at least one data point of information of the validator node; compare by the support server the query from the requestor node with the one-way function representation of the at least one data point of information; determine by an aggregator server, based on the comparison, whether the at least one data point of information of the requester node matches the at least one data point of information of the at least one validator node; and output a match result to the requestor node.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing incoming data in real-time are described herein. The incoming data is processed in real-time to generate data records that may be improved over time, for example, by automatically correcting inaccurate data in the records. In some embodiments, when data is received, a real-time process is initially performed on the received data under a first time constraint to produce first data for a data record. Subsequently, one or more non-real-time processes are then performed on the received data under a second time constraint to produce second data for the data record. The second data may be used to update the data record, for example, to correct any inaccuracy caused by the real-time process of the received data. Preferably, the second time constraint is longer than the first time constraint.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for dynamic detection of geo-location spoofing by a networked device, such as fraudulent client connections to a server, in which the connection is made using an internet protocol (IP) tunneling as may be provided by a virtual private network (VPN) connection. A user of a client device may employ spoofing of IP-geo location mechanisms and IP classification for various reasons, such as gaining access to services that are not allowed in certain locations (e.g., certain movie and television content providers); browsing server data while maintaining a higher level of anonymity; and performing fraudulent actions on the server. Detecting a false geographic location (e.g. as indicated by IP address) is helpful for improving computer system security, and for evaluating whether access to particular digital resources should be provided.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for dynamic detection of fraudulent client connections to a server, in which, for example, the connection is made using an internet protocol (IP) tunneling technology such as networking on a virtual private network (VPN) and making the connection via a VPN tunnel in order to obfuscate the client IP address, in which a user of a client device may employ spoofing of IP-geo location mechanisms and IP classification on the server side. Such a user may have various motivations for obfuscating the client device's geo-location by using an IP tunnel when connecting to a server such as gaining access to services that are not allowed in certain locations (e.g., certain movie and television content providers); browsing server data while maintaining a higher level of anonymity; and performing fraudulent actions on the server.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, circuits, apparatuses, systems and associated computer executable code for metering software usage. The usage of a software application instance is detected by assessing a level of user interaction with the software application instance, in order to: classify users based on their usage patterns, determine the license type needed for a variety of user and application combinations, save on excess licensing, and/or facilitate the transition of users between on-premise applications and cloud based applications.

Abstract: Particular nucleoside 5?-phosphorothioate analogues, such as, adenosine or uridine 5?-di- or tri-phosphorothioate analogues in which at least one of the bridging oxygen atoms of the phosphorothioate is replaced by a group such as —CH2— or —CCl2—, and at least one of the non-bridging atoms or negatively-charged atoms of the phosphorothioate is either a sulfur atom or a sulfur ion can be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions. These compounds are useful for treatment of osteoarthritis/calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition disease.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a complementation SV40 packaging cell line for in-trans complementation of viral T-antigen (T-Ag). This cell line eliminates the generation of viable virus carrying the T-Ag gene, by reducing homologous recombination in packaging process of an SV40 vector, wherein said cell line is transformed with at least one expression cassette having minimal sequence identity to SV40 sequences comprised within said SV40 viral vector. The expression cassette of the invention comprises nucleic acid encoding SV40 T-Ag under the control of a heterologous promoter, heterologous termination signal; and optionally additional operably linked control elements and/or selectable markers. The invention further relates to methods for the preparation of packaging cell line, processes for production of a safe preparation of SV40 viral vectors and compositions comprising the same.

Abstract: A video compression system is provided. An encoder may encode video that is decoded by a decoder. The video may be made up of video frames. The decoder may generate approximated display frames for viewing on a display device based on corrected reference frames. The corrected reference frames at the decoder may be created based on approximated reference frames generated based on model state information and based on difference frames provided by the encoder. The encoder may create the difference frames by subtracting approximated reference frames from exact reference frames. The exact reference frames may be created based on a model of a three-dimensional virtual reality environment. The encoder may create the approximated reference frames based on corrected reference frames that are generated based on the difference reference frames.
