Abstract: A system comprises a server system including at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to receive a request to generate a digital secured document, generate a unique identifier of the digital secured document, and embed a plurality of security data in at least one of the one or more defined areas of the digital secured document. The plurality of security data includes a scannable code. The scannable code has embedded therein an encrypted message that, when decrypted by the server system, validates an authenticity of the digital secured document. The at least one processor is also configured to mint the digital secured document on a blockchain, including generate metadata on the blockchain associated with the digital secured document, and store the metadata and one or more images associated with the digital secured document permanently with an on-chain permaweb protocol.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides customizable enucleated erythroid cells or enucleated cells that can be engineered to include, on their surface, a loadable exogenous antigen-presenting polypeptide, wherein the loadable exogenous antigen-presenting polypeptide comprises one or more amino acid substitutions. In some embodiments, the one or more amino acid substitutions stabilize the loadable exogenous antigen-presenting polypeptide on the cell surface. In some embodiments, the loadable exogenous antigen-presenting polypeptide is stabilized on the cell surface in the absence of a polypeptide bound to the loadable exogenous antigen-presenting polypeptide. In some embodiments, the loadable exogenous antigen-presenting polypeptide comprises an exogenous displaceable polypeptide bound to the loadable exogenous antigen-presenting polypeptide. In some embodiments, the loadable exogenous antigen-presenting polypeptide is stabilized on the cell surface upon release of the displaceable polypeptide.

Abstract: Generally speaking, systems, methods and media for detection and network reconfiguration upon changes in dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) IP addresses are disclosed. Embodiments of a method may include setting a renew time and a rebind time of a DHCP configuration and establishing an IP address with a first DHCP server. Embodiments may also include, after passage of the renew time, transmitting a renew request to the first DHCP server at its IP address and, in response to failure to receive an acknowledgement message from the first DHCP server, determining if the first DHCP server IP address is still valid. Embodiments may also include, in response to determining that the first DHCP server IP address is not still valid, retrieving a second, different DHCP server IP address from a network change event signal and configuring a network adapter based on the second DHCP server IP address.

Abstract: An implantable infection shield and system for drug delivery in vascular tissue includes a relatively non-biodegradable porous linked fibrous biomaterial which controls and directs cell growth and angiogenesis from adjacent vascular tissue into the implant. Infection shield embodiments stimulate cell growth and angiogenesis from adjacent vascular tissue which effectively blocks passage of pathogenic microorganisms along percutaneously implanted objects. In embodiments for drug delivery, a reservoir of the same biomaterial may contain either (1) a cell culture system enclosed within a porous sealable interior chamber or (2) a biodegradable matrix in which one or more drugs are dispersed. After implantation of a reservoir of the first embodiment in an organism, cultured cells obtain food and oxygen via diffusion in tissue fluid through the porous walls of the interior chamber, while metabolic products, including drugs, diffuse away from the cell culture in an analogous manner.

Abstract: A wire grid polarizer may be fabricated by forming plurality of substantially-straight metallic lines of predetermined periodicity ? on a thin film substrate A plurality of substantially straight nanometer-scale periodic surface relief structures is created on a surface of the substrate. The periodic surface relief structures cover a region greater than about 4 centimeters in length and greater than about 4 centimeters in width, wherein the periodicity ? is between about 10 nanometers and about 500 nanometers. One or more layers of material are formed on the periodic relief structures. The one or more layers include one or more conductor materials that form the plurality of substantially straight metallic lines over a region of the substrate greater than about 4 centimeters in length and greater than about 4 centimeters in width.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed for managing an application's persistent data across multiple different release versions of the application. A format for a memory area is defined wherein the persistent data will be stored according to a first release version of the application. The format is organized to permit the application running at different release versions to access the memory area. The memory area is accessed using the application that is running at a second release version. The memory area is divided into individually accessible sections. The format includes a template file for each section for each release version.

Abstract: The present invention provides a contextual editor for an expert system. The editor leads the operator through a series of screens which designate classes of information, logical nodes, and the interrelation of the nodes. The screens are so arranged that they prevent the operator from providing classes or nodes with logically insufficient information. At the end of each definition the screen automatically shows a logical tree which graphically illustrates the logical interconnection between the nodes.The editor provided by the present invention provides the knowledge base developer with a guided knowledge entry system that modifies its behavior based on the context of the knowledge structures being entered. This approach not only facilitates the creation of the rules base knowledge, but also frequently prevents the user from entering invalid values or logic structures. Also, the guided editing approach allows the developer to learn and use the system much more quickly, thus becoming productive much sooner.

Abstract: The subject invention provides a means for the immunological detection of an entire class of microorganisms in clinical samples. The detection is accomplished by reaction of the clinical sample iwth a class-specific immunological reagent. This reagent is an antiserum either monoclonal or polyclonal in nature, and the detection is based upon reaction of the antiserum with an antigenic determinant which is shared among all members of the detectable class of microorganisms. The presence of the resulting immunological reaction product (e.g. the antigen-antibody complex) may be detected by well-known immunological detection-systems.
