Patent number: 11220614Abstract: Barriers for improved vapor mitigation are contemplated, such barriers being formed as a cured latex-asphalt mixture applied to the metal surface of a metallized substrate. The latex-asphalt mixture, prior to curing, comprises an emulsion of an asphalt component, a latex component, and water. Such barriers may be seen to substantially mitigate diffusion of chemical contaminants across the barriers in the form of gas or liquids. Also contemplated are methods for forming such barriers, whether fabricated off-site for installation on site, fabricated in-situ.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2018Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: REGENESIS BIOREMEDIATION PRODUCTSInventors: Kristen A.

Patent number: 11198879Abstract: The present invention provides novel reagents and a cloning procedure based on homologous recombination for the site-directed cloning of a DNA fragment to a vector at designed site(s). The cloning reagents are made of mixture of extracts from at least two different cell types, preferably a mixture made of extracts from wild-type E. coli and S. cerevisiae. Due to the activity of the mixture of cell extracts, recombination occurs between the 3? and 5?-ends of the target DNA and at the ends of linearized vector, which facilitates in-frame construction of expression vectors.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2018Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: VIET NAM NATIONAL UNIVERSITY HO CHI MINH CITYInventors: Phuong Thao Thi Dang, My Trinh Thi Nguyen, Nghia Hieu Nguyen, Thuoc Linh Tran

Patent number: 11063925Abstract: Techniques are described for client registration for authorizing an aggregator service to access data on behalf of an application, through self-registration of an application client identifier and issuance of authorization token(s) based on the application client identifier. Implementations provide a technique for dynamic client registration that avoids the need for manual vetting and manual generation of the client credential grant. Additionally, the implementations described herein enforce domain values around the scope and/or purpose of the client grant. This allows for support of application providers through a single point of registration that supports multi-layer and channel. This also allows for support of a scalable authorization solution for any suitable number of clients. The dynamic client registration process adds an additional layer of security through the OAuth client grant and mutual authentication.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2020Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Alejandro Vera, Miguel Solís, Jr., Hieu Nguyen, Jason Paul Hendry, Nathan Mahoney, Debra Randall Casillas

Patent number: 11018867Abstract: Embodiments described herein disclose methods and systems for authorizing transactions received from client applications. The transaction request can include a first access token. After validating the first access token, the system can determine whether additional authentication is needed to authorize the transaction. If additional authentication is needed, the system can determine the authentication requirements. Once the additional authentication is received and verified, the system can generate a second access token and authorize the transaction by releasing the first access token.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2020Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (USAA)Inventors: Hoang Trung Vo, Hieu Nguyen

Publication number: 20210091942Abstract: There is provided a method of generating a secret key at a first node for data communication between the first node and a second node. The method includes obtaining a channel estimate of a communication channel between the first and second nodes; obtaining a time-frequency matrix associated with the communication channel based on a time-frequency transformation of the channel estimate; and producing the secret key based on the time-frequency matrix. There is also provided a corresponding key generator for generating a secret key.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2018Publication date: March 25, 2021Inventors: Duy Hieu Nguyen, Sumei Sun, Yong Dong Wu, Boon Shyang Lim

Publication number: 20210062200Abstract: This invention provides a recombinant Pichia pastoris strain which has been genetically modified for highly expressing pediocin PA-1 and secreting it into the medium so that the pediocin PA-1 can be easily collected and purified from the culture medium. In this invention, we also demonstrated that the obtained pediocin PA-1 had specific antimicrobial activities against Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 13932 and several other bacteria strains. Therefore, pediocin PA-1 produced from this recombinant Pichia pastoris strain has a great potential for the application in food preservation and pharmaceutical industry.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 1, 2019Publication date: March 4, 2021Applicant: VIET NAM NATIONAL UNIVERSITY HO CHI MINH CITYInventors: TRINH MY THI NGUYEN, THU ANH PHAM NGUYEN, THUOC LINH TRAN, NGHIA HIEU NGUYEN, THAO PHUONG THI DANG

Patent number: 10701534Abstract: In a vehicle-to-vehicle communication system, an intersection-located road side unit (RSU) having two omni-antennas applies spatial filtering to the antennas' RX signals to recover first and second overlapping basic safety messages (BSMs) concurrently transmitted by two intersection-approaching vehicles that have no direct line of sight (NLOS) between them. The RSU retransmits each BSM for receipt by the other vehicle using either an omnidirectional retransmission technique in which the two messages are sequentially transmitted using an omnidirectional beam-pattern, a directional retransmission technique in which the two messages are sequentially transmitted using directional beam-patterns, or an XOR retransmission technique in which the RSU applies an XOR operation to the two BSMs and transmits the resulting XOR message using an omnidirectional beam-pattern. A receiving vehicle can apply an XOR operation to the XOR message and a local copy of the first BSM message to recover the second BSM message.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Thanh Hieu Nguyen, Md Noor-A-Rahim, Yong Liang Guan, Hong Li
