Abstract: A biometric authentication system comprising headwear comprising a plurality of biosensors each configured to sample muscle activity so as to obtain a respective time-varying signal; a data store for storing a data set representing characteristic muscle activity for one or more users; and a processor configured to process the time-varying signals from the biosensors in dependence on the stored data set so as to determine a correspondence between a time-varying signal and characteristic muscle activity of one of the one or more users, and in dependence on the determined correspondence, authenticate the time-varying signals as being associated with that user.

Abstract: A method and system for creating a levelling surface for use in levelling a substantially uneven ground surface, optimised for a single plane, row cropping, or dryland cropping with no rows (a surface for row cropping will typically optimise the surface with a defined water flow direction and a surface for dryland cropping will typically optimise the surface to allow water flow in any direction). Terrain data is collected, at least one constraint corresponding to desired surface characteristics is inputted, and a data transformation engine is operated, wherein the data transformation engine optimises the terrain data for at least one terrain variable, generates an optimised terrain model that substantially complies with the at least one constraint, and outputs a levelling surface. The levelling surface may be outputted to a three-dimensional controller for land-levelling machinery which could then shift the soil from the existing terrain to match the levelling surface.

Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for developing data-driven software, which references coded values. Coded values may include resource identifiers such as icons, bitmaps, localized strings, menus, screens, and sounds. According to certain aspects of the present invention, a build process is presented that creates a robust way for data to refer to coded values using XML together with document type entity definitions (DTD entity values). According to certain aspects of the present invention, systems and methods are presented for assuring data integrity in the data-driven software.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method of retarding, reducing or otherwise inhibiting viral functional activity and, more particularly, to a method of reducing, retarding or otherwise inhibiting viral functional activity by down-regulating Vpu ion channel functional activity. Even more particularly, the present invention provides a method of treating HIV infection or AIDS by inhibiting Vpu ion channel mediated HIV replication.
