Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose how to remove spilled data from an unauthorized system and/or service in a cloud service. Some embodiments allow a user to remove spilled data in a secure fashion without involving an administrator. Spilled data resides in a data structure backed by allocated storage locations. The system presents a user interface allowing a user to enter information that allows identification of the allocated storage locations. The spilled data is removed from the data structure leaving whitespace in the allocated storage locations where remnants of the spilled data can reside. The system creates a copy of the data structure, removing the whitespace. The system connects the copy of the data structure in place of the original data structure. The original allocated storage locations are then overwritten in a secure manner to remove any remnants of the spilled data.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present technology provides a the method comprises the steps of: Converting B-spline networks to T-splines, Converting NURBS into T-spline surfaces, Adding control points to local regions, Scaling or optimizing weights across the mesh, and merging between NURBS and T-spline surfaces. The technology overcame some of the issues with implementing simultaneous multiple surface design methodology when dealing with groups of lenses and reflectors, by improving seed patch junction continuity, elimination of ripples and holes, and precisely adding control points where required. In at least one embodiment of the technology, the t-splines topology allowed for refined control over the optical surface. Control points were reduced by conversion of a NURBS into a T-spline. T-splines were used to produce new loft lenses which were further refined and merged to spline patches.

Abstract: A method for screening for a Tobiano genotype includes obtaining a nucleic acid from an equine animal, and analyzing the nucleic acid for the presence of an inversion in a chromosome ECA3q which is indicative of the genotype for Tobiano. The method includes detecting at least one of a telomeric breakpoint of an inverted ECA3q chromosome and/or a centromeric breakpoint of an inverted ECA3q chromosome. In one embodiment, the nucleic acid may be analyzed by the steps of hybridizing the group of probes or primers having the sequences set forth herein in SEQ ID NO:8, SEQ ID NO: 9, and SEQ ID NO: 10, or sequences complementary thereto, and preparing an amplification product. A 209 bp nucleic acid amplification product (SEQ ID NO:11) indicates the presence of the inversion.

Abstract: An anchor for a branch wellbore liner. In a described embodiment, a system is used to anchor between an upper portion of a window formed through a sidewall of a first tubular string and an upper end of a second tubular string extending outwardly from the window. The system includes a first anchoring device at the upper portion of the window, and a second anchoring device at the upper end of the second tubular string. The first and second anchoring devices are operative to secure the upper end of the second tubular string to the upper portion of the window.
