Abstract: The present disclosure provides alfalfa plants exhibiting broad spectrum resistance to Race 1, Race 2, and Race 5 anthracnose. Such plants may comprise novel introgressed genomic regions associated with disease resistance from Race 1, Race 2, and Race 5 anthracnose. In certain aspects, compositions, including novel polymorphic markers and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with a disease resistance phenotype are provided. Also provided are alfalfa varieties designated as C0416C4164 and H0415C4114. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants and derivatives of alfalfa varieties C0416C4164 and H0415C4114. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of alfalfa varieties C0416C4164 and H0415C4114, and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing alfalfa plants by crossing alfalfa variety C0416C4164 or H0415C4114 with itself or another alfalfa variety and plants produced by such methods.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to identity-based DNS-traffic routing and monitoring. A computing platform may establish, using an encrypted DNS process, a secure DNS session by executing an encrypted session handshake with a client device, which may include receiving a security certificate for the encrypted DNS process that identifies a user of the client device. The computing platform may receive an encrypted DNS query request comprising a request for an IP address for a specified domain name. The computing platform may determine, based on the security certificate, an identity of the user. The computing platform may determine, based on the identity of the user, a security policy indicating domain matching criteria and corresponding actions to take on matching domain names. The computing platform may determine a first action corresponding to the domain name, and may send, based on the first action, an encrypted DNS query response.

Abstract: Systems and methods that yield highly-accurate classification of acoustic and other non-image events, involving pre-processing data from one or more transducers and generating a visual representation of the source as well as associated features and processing, are disclosed. According to certain exemplary implementations herein, such pre-processing steps may be utilized in situations where 1) all impulsive acoustic events have many features in common due to their point source origin and impulsive nature, and/or 2) the error rates that are considered acceptable in general purpose image classification are much higher than the acceptable levels in automatic impulsive incident classification. Further, according to some aspects, the data may be pre-processed in various ways, such as to remove extraneous or irrelevant details and/or perform any required rotation, alignment, scaling, etc. tasks, such that these tasks do not need to be “learned” in a less direct and more expensive manner in the neural network.

Abstract: An electrical machine comprises a longitudinally movable device and an intermediate rotor. A first arrangement of magnets is disposed on a first surface of the longitudinally movable device, and a second arrangement of magnets is disposed on a first surface of the intermediate rotor. The longitudinally movable device is movable in a first direction. The intermediate rotor's first surface is held adjacent the first surface of the longitudinally movable device such that it cannot move in the first direction. The intermediate rotor is, however, rotatable about an axis and the arrangement of the first and second arrangements of magnets translates movement of the longitudinally movable device into rotation of the intermediate rotor about the axis.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions, methods, kits, and platforms for selectively activating and deactivating chimeric receptor effector cells using humanized chimeric receptor effector cell switches that comprise a humanized targeting moiety that binds CD19 on a target cell and a chimeric receptor interacting domain that binds to a chimeric receptor effector cell and/or chimeric receptor effector cell switches comprising optimized chimeric receptor interacting domains. Also disclosed are methods of treating disease and conditions with such chimeric receptor effector cells and chimeric receptor effector cell switches.

Abstract: The smart HVAC manifold system for servicing air conditioning systems is designed to dynamically manage the data acquisition process and to measure and calculate the performance indicators and output as the load conditions and or equipment operation change taking into account variables in the installation that can impact performance. Both visually and by a very specific data set the performance of the equipment and the installation can quickly be assessed and specific problems identified along with suggestions of typical faults or problems that may need addressed by the technician. The smart HVAC manifold system provides a means of quickly and electronically handling the manual data acquisition process which would include component and or system model and serial numbers, equipment location (GPS tagging), customer name, environmental conditions that effect performance and performance measurement (weather data and elevation), and supports photo, voice and text documentation.

Abstract: A magnetic drive has a prime mover, having a first magnet array on a first surface thereof, and a rotor, having a second magnet array on an outer surface thereof. The outer surface of the rotor is located adjacent to the first surface of the prime mover such that movement of the prime mover causes rotation of the rotor about an axis of rotation. A support member has a shaft for defining the axis of rotation of the rotor, and having a third magnet array, and the third magnet array cooperates with a fourth magnet array on the rotor to form a magnetic bearing to resist forces on the rotor acting along the axis of rotation thereof.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for generating a playlist. An application programming interface (API) receives a request to generate a playlist, where the request includes a set of rule-primitives. A playlist engine evaluator evaluates a rule corresponding to each rule-primitive in the set of rule-primitives across a catalog of media content, calculates a cost associated with each item in the catalog of media content, and generates a playlist based on the items of the catalog having the lowest costs.
