Abstract: Embodiments are provided herein for applying adaptive encryption in checkpoint recovery of a file transfer. An embodiment includes establishing a first connection between a first node and a second node, generating a first ciphertext object at the second node by encrypting first input data received from the first node based, at least in part, on an encryption algorithm and an input block, and storing the first ciphertext object in an output file. The embodiment further includes, subsequent to a communication failure via the first connection, establishing a second connection between the first node and the second node, obtaining a last block stored in the output file, and generating a second ciphertext object by encrypting second input data received from the first node based, at least in part, on the encryption algorithm and the last block. More specific embodiments include storing a current file offset based on detecting the communication failure.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to user authentication based on biometric passwords. In some embodiments, a client device receives, from a user, user input that includes one or more character-values and one or more biometric readings provided in a particular sequence. The client device may then generate a biometric password based on the user input. In some embodiments, generating the biometric password includes generating a biometric value for each of the one or more biometric readings and combining the one or more character values and the biometric values in an order that corresponds to the particular sequence to generate the biometric password. The client device may then send, to a server system, an authentication request to authenticate the user to a service, where the authentication request includes the biometric password.

Abstract: This disclosure concerns compositions and methods for promoting transcription of a nucleotide sequence in a plant or plant cell, employing a minimal core promoter element from a Arabidopsis thaliana Ubiquitin-10 gene promoter or Cassava Vein Mosaic Virus promoter, and the full-length nucleotide sequence elements from a Cassava Vein Mosaic Virus promoter. Some embodiments relate to a synthetic CsVMV bi-directional promoter that functions in plants to promote transcription of two operably linked nucleotide sequences.

Abstract: The subject invention provides totipotent, chlorophyllous, cell cultures of maize. In addition, the methods of producing such cultures are applicable to other related species, including cereals such as rice, oats, barley, and heat. The subject cultures are valuable for herbicide studies, studies for enhancing photosynthesis, and genetic manipulation, such as plastid transformation. The methods of the subject invention are capable of providing high percentages of totipotent cells. These cells are capable of sustained cell division and are competent for regeneration over long periods; they provide high-quality target tissue for nuclear and organelle transformation. The invention also describes methods for the introduction of heterologous DNA into the chloroplast genome. The present invention also provides methods, vectors, and gene constructs for enhancing expression of a recombinant nucleic acid sequence in transgenic plants and plant tissues.

Abstract: Disclosed is a set of functional components (tiles), consisting in part of subgate elements, which, by their design, facilitate the creation of dense integrated circuits, without forfeiting the capability of modifying the functionality of individual tiles by late mask programming techniques. Overall densities approaching those obtained with hand-crafted, custom designs can be obtained in part because such components are designed to be tiled throughout a storage logic array, permitting the creation of orthogonal logic gates as well as individual gates (and more complex functions) the functionality of which is distributed horizontally, vertically and even in a zigzag fashion. Moreover, the transition time from prototype to high volume manufacturing is reduced significantly due to the ease with which even complex functions can be repaired and enhanced.
