Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for enforcing various rights and interests in connection with genetic material synthesis processes. In certain embodiments, the systems and methods disclosed herein may compare a genetic material a user would like to synthesize with a genetic material synthesis system with one or more managed genetic materials. If the genetic material is found to be similar to a managed genetic material (e.g., similar in genetic sequence, synthesizing process, molecular shape and/or structure, etc.), policy associated with the managed genetic material may be enforced in connection with synthesizing the genetic material.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a platform for integrating a variety of devices. The platform may provide a plurality of contact points configured to couple with one or more interfaces on a device and/or termination points of various connectors. Embodiments of the disclosed platform may facilitate construction and/or prototyping of chemical and/or biological analysis and/or diagnostic systems that include multiple devices. Further embodiments, allow for the management of various interconnected devices in accordance with one or more articulated policies.

Abstract: A system for publishing digital content is described which, in one embodiment, includes a beacon device associated with a first user configured to transmit identification information and information indicating its current position. A browsing device includes a display configured and adapted to display to a second user a representation of a local geographical area, and to selectively display to the second user content information associated with the first user, based at least in part on whether the location of the beacon device is within the local geographical area.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described that protect intellectual property rights in connection with 3-dimensional printing processes. In certain embodiments, an object a user would like to render with a 3-dimensional printing device may be compared with one or more managed objects having certain associated intellectual property rights. If the object is found to be similar to a managed object (e.g., similar in shape, function, composition, etc.), policy associated with the managed object may be enforced in connection with rendering the object. In this manner, intellectual property rights associated with the managed objects may be enforced.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for facilitating trusted handling of genomic and/or other bioinformatic information. Certain embodiments may facilitate policy-based governance of access to and/or use of bioinformatic information, improved interaction with and/or use of distributed bioinformatic information, parallelization of various processes involving bioinformatic information, and/or reduced user involvement in bioinformatic workflow processes, and/or the like. Further embodiments may provide for memoization processes that may persistently store final and/or intermediate results of computations performed using genomic data for use in connection with future computations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for governing derived electronic resources are provided. In one embodiment, a digital resource is associated with one or more rules and a set of one or more computations, wherein the rules correspond to one or more conditions for accessing the digital resource and the computations operate upon the digital resource in order to provide a specific view of the digital resource that differs from the digital resource.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for facilitating trusted handling of genomic and/or other sensitive information. Certain embodiments may use a virtualized execution environment to execute code and/or programs that wish to access and/or otherwise use genomic and/or other sensitive information. In some embodiments, data requests from the code and/or programs may be routed through a transparent data access proxy configured to transform requests and/or associated responses to protect the integrity of the genomic and/or other sensitive information.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for performing distributed computations over a data set potentially owned or controlled by many stakeholders, each of whom may set their own policies governing access to and/or other use of their individual data.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for facilitating trusted handling of genomic bioinformatics, and/or other sensitive information. Certain embodiments may facilitate policy-based governance of access to and/or use of information through enforced disclosure accounting processes. Among other things, embodiments of the disclosed systems and methods may mitigate the potential for various attacks, including reidentification attacks targeting particular individuals associated with information included in a genomic data set.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing a distributed computing task may use a plurality of distributed digital data resources. The distributed computing task may include dividing the computing task into sub-tasks for performance by a plurality of distributed worker nodes. The worker nodes may include a first worker node having at least partial access to a first digital data resource associated with a first set of rules corresponding to first conditions for accessing the first digital data resource and/or for computations operating on the first digital data resource. The worker nodes may include a second worker node having at least partial access to a second digital data resource associated with a second set of rules corresponding to second conditions for accessing the second digital data resource and/or for computations operating on the second digital data resource. The first conditions may differ from the second conditions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling accuracy of transmitted information are described. A package is assembled based on a numerical value, such as a measurement, and one or more policies associated with the sender. When the package is received by a receiver, it is unpacked to yield a second value representing the numerical value and having a reduced accuracy with respect to the first value. The accuracy reduction depends on policies associated with the receiver and/or the sender. Examples of numerical values in different applications include geo-location data, medical data, and financial data.
