Abstract: Long interfering nucleic acid (iNA) duplexes, which are at least 30 nucleotides in length, which have at least one nick or nucleotide gap in the antisense or the sense strands or in both the sense and antisense strands. These long iNA duplexes do not induce an interferon response when transfected into mammalian cells. The antisense strands can target two separate mRNAs or two segments of one mRNA.

Abstract: What is described are macrocyclic compounds formed by reaction of a cyclic compound, which contains an amine, with an epoxide. The macrocyclic compound has the following structure: When substituents R and R? that are hydrophobic substituents, the macrocyclic compound functions as a lipid and is compatible with lipid systems, including liposomes and lipid particles. When present in certain lipid systems, the macrocyclic compound enhances the ability of the lipid system to facilitate delivery of therapeutic molecules to target cells in a mammalian subject.

Abstract: Provided are techniques for computing a task result. A processing data set of records is created, wherein each of the records contains data specific to a sub-task from a set of actual sub-tasks and contains a reference to data shared by the set of actual sub-tasks, and wherein a number of the records is equivalent to a number of the actual sub-tasks in the set of actual sub-tasks. With each mapper in a set of mappers, one of the records of the processing data set is received and an assigned sub-task is executed using the received one of the records to generate output. With a single reducer, the output from each mapper in the set of mappers is reduced to determine a task result.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for conducting work flows by an SIEM device to carry out a complex task automatically. According to one embodiment, an SIEM device may create a work flow that includes multiple security tasks that are performed by one or more security devices. When a security event is captured or the work flow is scheduled to be executed, the SIEM device starts the work flow by scheduling the security tasks defined in the work flow. The SIEM device then collects results of security tasks performed by the one or more security devices.

Abstract: In some examples, when a user requests a media device to play media data generated on a virtual machine or receive media data generated by the media device, the media data may be transmitted by sharing physical memory pages among different virtual machines and other virtual components.

Abstract: An electrical card connector (100) includes an insulative housing (1) defining a receiving space (10) along a front-and-rear direction thereof, a number of first contacts (211) and a number of second contacts (212) respectively retained in a front row and a rear row of the insulative housing, and a number of third contacts (221) retained in the rear row of the insulative housing. The first and second contacts constitute a first terminal group. The third and second contacts constitute a second terminal group. The first terminal group is adapted for engaging with a first card and the second terminal group is adapted for engaging with a second card.

Abstract: This disclosure provides compositions consisting of solid mixture of cationic lipids and a polynucleotide, wherein the cationic lipid molecules form a water-insoluble ionic complex with the polynucleotide. What is also described is an anhydrous mixture of the cationic lipids and the polynucleotide solubilized in an organic or polar aprotic solvent. The anhydrous compositions are useful in preparing therapeutic formulations and in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions. The compositions are useful for delivery of agents such as nucleic acid therapeutics to cells, tissues, organs, and subjects.

Abstract: Systems and methods for conducting correlation analysis for security events with assets attributes of a network by a SIEM device to enable more efficient reporting are provided. According to one embodiment, when a SIEM device obtains a security event, a risk level of the security event is calculated based on at least a correlation of the security event with one or more asset attributes of a network that is managed by the SIEM device. When the risk level meets a predetermined or configurable threshold, the SIEM device causes the security event to be reported to an administrator of the network.

Abstract: A security interface system creates plausible deniability, and consists of a security interface device having a port for a releasable connection to a PC and to a memory key containing an encrypted operating system, the interface device containing logic to decrypt the memory key and a plaintext bootloader, and a further port for a memory card containing a key. The key is entirely encrypted and appears as random data when inspected. The interface device may have a port(s) for a keyboard and mouse. An encryption and decryption method is described, for decrypting a ciphertext into one of two plaintexts by choice of a key, the choice of which plaintext depending on whether the secret is to be revealed or remain confidential.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for continuously preparing a water-soluble azo dye by coupling a nebulizer with a pipeline. According to the method, the nebulizer is coupled with a pipeline with an interception tower plate, atomized and mixed reaction liquid flow flows through the pipeline with the interception tower plate, and mixing and reacting are further enhanced through turbulent mixing on the tower plate, so that instant separation of reaction heat generated in an atomizing contact reaction from a reactant is achieved, and normal-temperature rapid continuous production of the water-soluble azo dye is achieved. Fog drops which are atomized by using the nebulizer have small particle diameter and large specific surface area, so that a diazo salt and a coupling component are sprayed separately, move face to face and can be fully contacted, and mixing and reacting speeds are increased.

Abstract: Photovoltaic devices conformally deposited on a nano-structured substrate having hills and valleys have corresponding hills and valleys in the device layers. We have found that disposing an insulator in the valleys of the device layers such that the top electrode of the device is insulated from the device layer valleys provides beneficial results. In particular, this insulator prevents electrical shorts that otherwise tend to occur in such devices.
