  • SINGLE SIGN-ON FOR UNMANAGED MOBILE DEVICES
    Publication number: 20160366122
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for providing a single sign-on experience for mobile devices that may or may not be managed. A service provider receives an access request from a first client application executed in a client device. The service provider causes the first client application, using a redirection response that redirects the access request to an identity provider, to request an authentication token from a second client application executed in the client device. The service provider receives the authentication token from the first client application. The service provider then authenticates the first client application in response to verifying the authentication token.

  • SINGLE SIGN-ON FOR MANAGED MOBILE DEVICES
    Publication number: 20160366120
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for single-sign on by way of managed mobile devices. For example, an identity provider service can receive a request for an identity assertion from an application executed in a client device. The identity provider service can then detect a platform associated with the client device. A response to the request can be sent based at least in part on the platform, where the response requests authentication by a management credential. Data generated by the management credential is received from the client device, and the management credential is determined to be valid for the identity assertion. The identity assertion is then sent to the client device in response to determining that the management credential is valid for the identity assertion.

  • SINGLE SIGN-ON FOR UNMANAGED MOBILE DEVICES
    Publication number: 20160366119
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for providing a single sign-on experience for mobile applications that may or may not be managed. A first application executed in a client device sends an access request to a service provider. The first application receives a redirection response from the service provider that redirects the first application to an identity provider. The first application then receives a further redirection response from the identity provider that causes the first application to request an identity assertion from a second application executed in the client device. The first application receives the identity assertion from the second application. The first authentication then authenticates with the service provider using the identity assertion.

  • LOCALE AWARE PLATFORM
    Publication number: 20160357581
    Abstract: Handling locale information on a computing platform in a cloud computing environment. An application pushed by a cloud client is received by a computing platform, in response to receiving a request from a user to execute the application. Locale information associated with the application and the user is retrieved by the computing platform. A script is created and executed by the computing platform to configure a locale of an operating system, and that identifies and installs applications upon which the pushed application depends for execution. A runtime environment, the pushed application, and the applications upon which the pushed application depends for execution in the runtime environment are booted by the computing platform. The pushed application is then executed by the computing platform in the runtime environment.

    Patent number: 9459250
    Abstract: The invention relates to compounds that specifically bind a T1R1/T1R3 or T1R2/T1R3 receptor or fragments or sub-units thereof. The present invention also relates to the use of hetero-oligomeric and chimeric taste receptors comprising T1R1/T1R3 and T1R2/T1R3 in assays to identify compounds that respectively respond to umami taste stimuli and sweet taste stimuli. Further, the invention relates to the constitutive of cell lines that stably or transiently co-express a combination of T1R1 and T1R3; or T1R2 and T1R3; under constitutive or inducible conditions. The use of these cells lines in cell-based assays to identify umami and sweet taste modulatory compounds is also provided, particularly high throughput screening assays that detect receptor activity by use of fluorometric imaging.

  • Providing services to multiple tenants of an application
    Patent number: 9420034
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for providing a service to multiple tenants of an application. Responsive to receiving from a client of a tenant a request, a tenant context of the tenant is bound to the request. With respect to an access to an isolation point of the application in the request, the access to the isolation point is redirected to a partition based on the tenant context bound to the request. The partition may be pre-established for the tenant with respect to the application. Hence, it is possible to provide a multi-tenant solution in a convenient, fast, and cost-effective way, and, in turn, to achieve resource sharing to a greater extent and enhance the resource efficiency.

  • T1R HETERO-OLIGOMERIC TASTE RECEPTORS AND CELL LINES THAT EXPRESS SAID RECEPTORS AND USE THEREOF FOR IDENTIFICATION OF TASTE COMPOUNDS
    Publication number: 20160178616
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the discovery that the T1R receptors assemble to form functional taste receptors. Particularly, it has been discovered that co-expression of T1R1 and T1R3 results in a taste receptor that responds to umami taste stimuli, including monosodium glutamate. Also, it has been discovered that co-expression of the T1R2 and T1R3 receptors results in a taste receptor that responds to sweet taste stimuli including naturally occurring and artificial sweeteners. Also the present invention relates to the use of hetero-oligomeric taste receptors comprising T1R1/T1R3 and T1R2/T1R3 in assays to identify compounds that respectively respond to umami taste stimuli and sweet taste stimuli.

  • Nested independent virtual private networks with shared rekey and consistency services
    Patent number: 9374340
    Abstract: First and second nested virtual private networks share a common rekey service. A first key server generates first cryptographic keys and policies for use by gateways of the VPN to encrypt and decrypt data packets. The key server establishes a connection with a second key server to generate second cryptographic keys and policies independently of the first key server for use by encryption units of a second VPN that is nested with and operates independently of the first VPN. The first key server refreshes the first cryptographic keys in the first VPN gateways using a common rekey service, and cooperates with the second key server to refresh the second cryptographic keys in the second VPN encryption units using the common rekey service.
