Abstract: Provided are delivery immunostimulatory bacteria that have enhanced colonization of tumors, the tumor microenvironment and/or tumor-resident immune cells, and enhanced anti-tumor activity. The immunostimulatory bacteria are modified by deletion of genes encoding the flagella, or by modification of the genes so that functional flagella are not produced, and/or are modified by deletion of pagP or modification of pagP to produce inactive PagP product. As a result, the immunostimulatory bacteria are flagellin? and/or pagP?. The immunostimulatory bacteria optionally have additional genomic modifications so that the bacteria are adenosine or purine auxotrophs. The bacteria optionally are one or more of asd?, purI?, and msbB?.

Abstract: One variation of a method for modeling a human body includes: driving a sensor block along a path above a platform occupied by a user and recording a sequence of depth images and color images, via the sensor block, at each capture position in a sequence of capture positions along the path; compiling the set of depth images into a low-density 3D model of the user and a high-density 3D model of the user; extracting a set of color patches, from the sequence of color images, corresponding to discrete regions on a surface of the low-density 3D model of the user; projecting the set of color patches onto the surface of the low-density 3D model to generate a 3D color model of the user; and extracting a value of a dimension, projected from the low-density 3D color model onto the high-density 3D model, from the high-density 3D model.

Abstract: A method and associated circuits protect data stored in a secure data circuit of a telecommunication device equipped with a near-field communication (NFC) router, a microcontroller, and the secure data circuit. In the method, each message received with the NFC router is parsed to retrieve a communication pipe identifier and an instruction code. The communication pipe identifier and the instruction code are compared to corresponding information in a filter table. Instruction codes of particular messages that attempt to modify a communication pipe by reassigning one end of the communication pipe from the port of the NFC router to a different circuit are acted upon. These messages are blocked from reaching the secure data circuit when the instruction code is not authorized in the filter table, and these messages are permitted when the instruction code is authorized in the filter table.
