Abstract: An organization may maintain a platform that may support the generation and management of application architectures. The platform may provide a selection of architecture components for an application to a user, and the user may select one or more of the architecture components to generate a template or outline of an application. The platform may configure the selected architecture components, for example to integrate the selected architecture components together, and may provide the generated application to the user. The platform may configure the selection of architecture components to support security policies or other application management techniques for an application. For example, the platform may include or associate one or more tags with the architecture components that may allow management software to track one or more metrics of the application.

Abstract: A system and method for end-to-end transaction management, for example, for a structured finance market. The system and method digitizes and deconstructs complex interconnected transaction documents. The system creates transparency around the complexities of the transactions, generating significant efficiencies for existing market participants and enabling access to previously hidden and/or inaccessible data. In some embodiments, the platform supports a selected ecosystem (compared to specific use-cases within a market vertical) with a seamless integration of frameworks and schemas for the organization and structure of provisions, analytical tools extracting the required data, and the creation of metrics to informatively assess and calibrate the market. The system advantageously creates a digital language providing a tool, which will further enable the digitization of the finance ecosystem.

Abstract: The present invention relates to rapid, safe and accurate methods of preparing samples that comprise microbial or viral nucleic acids for amplification and which can be used to detect the presence of highly pathogenic viruses such as Ebola. The methods involve heating the sample in the presence of a reagent that comprises a solvent and a detergent. Reagents and compositions are also provided.

Abstract: A scalable monolithic sensor assembly, controller, and methods of making and installing same are disclosed. The sensor assembly includes a sensor head sized to fully traverse the diameter of the pipe such that its electrodes sample a voltage indicative of the entire pipe flow across its diameter. An improved stem design is included that decreases insertion force and increases lateral stability of the sensor head. An improved insertion device is disclosed that provide for independent axial insertion and rotation. An improved core is disclosed that minimizes interference of magnetic fields and reduces manufacturing costs. An improved controller is disclosed that improves sensitivity.

Abstract: Methods of inserting a sensor assembly into a flow pipe are disclosed. The methods may include fastening a preload nut into a hot tap housing, applying force to at least one handle connected to a stem to insert the sensor assembly into the flow pipe, and fastening a collar onto the stem. In one example, the collar is between the preload nut and the hot tap housing. And, in one example, the methods may include tightening the preload nut into the hot tap housing until the preload nut bottoms out at a hard stop.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and processes for the production of sugars and conversion products from biomass.

Abstract: The present invention relates to bio-secure means for the detection of pathogens and provides a bio-secure reaction vessel and methods of preparing a sample for PCR-based pathogen detection. The reaction vessel comprises a reaction chamber portion (1); a cap holder portion (2); and a cap (3). Two points of security, such as two O-ring seals (9, 10), are provided between the cap (3) and the reaction chamber portion (1). A first seal (9) may be located at a top of the cap holder portion (2) and a second seal (10) may be located at a base of the cap (10).
