Abstract: Digital fingerprints include data indicative of interior features or structures of an object. The physical object may be rigid or malleable. The digital fingerprints may also include data indicative of features on an exterior surface of the object. Digital fingerprints may uniquely identify an object with respect to other objects, even with respect to other objects of a same type or class of objects. The technology may be relatively invariant to changes in scale, rotation, affine, homography, perspective, and illumination as between a reference digital fingerprint and a later acquired or generated digital fingerprint. Digital fingerprints may be used to authenticate an object as being a second instance or appearance of a previously digitally fingerprinted object.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel methods of increasing the abiotic environmental stress tolerance of a plant, to methods of improving the quality and/or yield of a plant crop, to methods of application of a cyclopropene such as 1-MCP to a plant, and to crops produced using said methods.

Abstract: Novel compositions and methods for the post-harvest treatment of crops are disclosed and described. In one example, a composition includes a fungicidally-active compound, an ether solvent, and a filler. In many embodiments, the composition is ready-to-fog.

Abstract: A method of identifying a cache line of a cache memory (180) for replacement, is disclosed. Each cache line in the cache memory has a stored sequence number and a stored transaction data stream identifying label. A request (e.g., 400) associated with a label identifying a transaction data stream is received. The label corresponds to the stored transaction data stream identifying label of the cache line. The stored sequence number of the cache line is compared with a response sequence number. The response sequence number is associated with the stored transaction data stream identifying label of the cache line. The cache line is identified for replacement based on the comparison.

Abstract: An IPsec processor for performing IPsec processing of traffic packets is disclosed. The IPsec processor comprises a network processing module (500) and a hardware co-processing module (502) coupled to the network processing module (500) via an interface, the co-processing module (500) comprising a policy check processor (525), and a packet transform processor (526). The network processing module (500) is adapted for communicating a part of a packet to the policy check processor (525) via the interface, and if IPsec processing of the packet is required, communicating the packet to the packet transform processor (526) via the interface, and scheduling the IPsec processed said packet, received from the packet transform processor (526) via the interface, for forwarding.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling weeds in turfgrass, which comprises applying to the turfgrass, the locus thereof or seeds thereof a herbicidally effective amount of 4-Hydroxy-3-[2-(2-methoxyethoxymethyl)-6-trifluoromethylpyridine-3-carbonyl]-bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-en-2-one or a composition which contains said compound.

Abstract: An arbitrator (24) is disclosed for reordering access requests (25) to a memory system (150) to reduce memory system conflicts. The arbitrator comprises a transaction buffer (203) for buffering the access requests (25), an output counter (207) for counting access requests issued by the arbitrator (24), a mapping table (211) for mapping at least the output counter (207) to the access requests (25) in the transaction buffer (203), and a reordering unit (225) for dynamically re-ordering entries in the mapping table (211) such that the mapping points to the access requests (25) in an issue order wherein memory system conflicts are reduced.
