Abstract: A method for optimized routing of service based interface (SBI) request messages to remote network function (NF) repository functions (NRFs) using indirect communications via a service communication proxy (SCP) includes, at an SCP including at least one processor, receiving an SBI request message. The method further includes forwarding the SBI request message to a remote NRF. The method further includes determining that the remote NRF is unable to process the SBI request message, and, in response to determining that the remote NRF is unable, identifying a georedundant mate of the remote NRF. The method further includes forwarding the SBI request message to the georedundant mate NRF of the remote NRF that is unable to process the SBI request message.

Abstract: A method for automatic configuration and use of Category 1 message filtering rules includes, at a network function (NF), subscribing, with an NF repository function (NRF), to receive notification of NF profile changes. The method further includes receiving, from the NRF and as a result of the subscribing, notification of an NF profile change. The method further includes automatically configuring, based on the notification of the NF profile change, at least one Category 1 message filtering rule implemented. The method further includes using the at least one Category 1 message filtering rule to filter service based interface (SBI) messages.

Abstract: Nucleic acid memory strands encoding digital data using a sequence of a homopolymer tracts of repeated nucleotides provides a cheaper and faster alternative to conventional digital DNA storage techniques. The use of homopolymer tracts allows for lower fidelity, high throughput sequencing techniques such as nanopore sequencing to read data encoded in the memory strands. Specialized synthesis techniques allow for synthesis of long memory strands capable of encoding large volumes of data despite the reduced data density afforded by homopolymer tracts as compared to conventional single nucleotide sequences.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for forming a flex-column includes a three-sided column having a triangular cross-sectional shape, an open first end, an open second end, and three corners, each one of the three sides including a flex line dividing each of the three sides into two portions, at least one perforation along an edge of each one of the two portions wherein the edge of each one of the two portions coincides with one of the three corners and at least one non-perforation along an edge of each one of the two portions.

Abstract: An extensible frame adapted to receive and maintain a rectilinear container applied upon an interior ledge extensible frame. Two or more orthogonally aligned sensor assemblies are provided to measure deflection of panels forming the container when a static or dynamic load is applied upon an uppermost panel. Each sensor assembly outputs a signal corresponding to a deflection of a panel induced by the load applied upon the uppermost panel. Signals output from the sensor assemblies are received and processed by an output processing unit in either a human cognizable or machine readable format. The amount deflection measured by the sensor assemblies corresponds to an amount of bulge of a panel when a defined load is applied.
