Abstract: The present disclosure relates, inter alia, to perturbagens and methods, including ex vivo methods, for directing a change in the cell state of T cells, e.g., naïve T cells, effector T cells and exhausted T cells. The present disclosure also relates to methods for mitigating or preventing T cell exhaustion, including contacting cells with a perturbagen ex vivo. Further, the present disclosure relates to methods for treating diseases or disorders characterized by, e.g., production of exhausted T cells, production of abnormal number of exhausted T cells, or production of high number of T cells.

Abstract: Systems and methods for stream data encoding.

Abstract: Compositions and methods of phytopathogenic fungus control are provided, the compositions and methods include a first component of dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentrate having natural organic matter of defined composition, suitable for soil, foliar, and seed coating.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for use in reducing biotic stress in plants by providing recombinant DNA molecules encoding methkyletone thioesterase into the cells of a plant in order to achieve a reduction in infestation by nematodes, insects and other pests are described. The plant cells in some cases produce one or more of 2-nonanone, 2-undecanone, 2-tridecanone and 2-pentadecanone. Also described are methods for making transgenic plants that express the recombinant DNA molecule for use in protecting plants from pest infestations.

Abstract: This invention relates to the identification and characterization of specific cellular responses which are associated with tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) and tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR2). Selective modulation of these tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNFRs) Selective modulations of these responses may be useful in the promotion or inhibition of cell growth, for example, in the treatment of disease conditions, including cardiovascular and kidney diseases. Therapeutic methods employed selective TNFR1 and TNFR2 modulators are provided, along with screening methods for the identification of selective TNFR1 and TNFR2 modulators useful in such methods.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for presenting an event to a user while allowing a user to make a prediction during the event, allowing the user to choose different content while viewing the event, displaying the chosen content while also displaying the event in an intelligent manner and providing a jump bar to navigate between content and/or features.

Abstract: A system and method for establishing two-factor security using a mobile device comprising authorizing one or more transactions requests received by a server, identifying one or more credentials required before the transaction can be processed, transmitting the list of credentials and a request session ID to a mobile device that stores, or is linked to, one or more required credentials, and pushing (or authorizing a credentials server to push) such credentials to the server that received the request in order to permit the associated transaction and/or upgrade the prior session to a secured or “authorized” connection.

Abstract: The present application describes systems for water retrieval from the engine exhaust. This collected water can be used both for removing ethanol from ethanol-gasoline blends, and for use as a knock suppressant. The water that is removed from the exhaust can be used as the only source of water or in combination with water that is externally supplied. The present application also describes new means for removal of water from the exhaust that can be employed for applications. In some embodiments, an auto-heat exchanger is employed to recover water from the engine exhaust.

Abstract: A user directed advertisement network includes an ad server having a database for storing advertisements from one or more vendors, and a broker configured with software to receive and store claims including information of advertisement preferences of a principal, and based upon at last one claim to provide to the principal one or more advertisements stored on the ad server that relate to the preferences of the principal. An agent used by the principal and configured with software to provide the claims including the information of the advertisement preferences to the broker, and to receive the advertisements from the broker.

Abstract: A brokered information sharing system including a primary broker configured with software to store cards of a principal, to transmit the cards when requested by the principal, to authenticate the principal, and to provide a master authentication of the principal to at least one issuing party. A selector is used by the principal and is configured with software to provide authentication of the principal to the primary broker, and to request and receive cards from the primary broker.

Abstract: A computer security monitoring method and system includes receiving input data, wherein the input data includes user account data associated with a user's security-related interaction with a particular network, security-related local network data associated with the particular network, and security-related external network data regarding security threats at one or more independent, external networks. The input data is analyzed to generate at least one composite security status score, wherein the analyzing includes an analysis of the user account data based on previously stored data associated with the user account, and an analysis of the security-related local and external network data to adjust the composite security status score when the analysis of the security-related local and external network data indicates an increased security threat. The method and system may produce human-readable output including an alert associated with the at least one composite security status score.

Abstract: A method of indelibly marking a label (10) which includes a substrate (11) (which is transparent or translucent) and an adhesive layer (12). The method includes applying a marking (14) to the adhesive layer (12) such that the marking is visible through the substrate. The marking (14) can include part thereof in a mirror or reverse image of that which is to be visible through the substrate. The marking can be applied by ink-jet, hot-wax or laser marking (13).

Abstract: The pendulum bow sight is a sight apparatus for an archery bow that provides a luminescent sighting element disposed without the use of supporting pins in a field of view of an optic lens without obstructing the field of view used for sighting a target. The sight apparatus provides unobstructed viewing through a pendulum sight regardless of a bow elevation angle. The pendulum sight has a pivoting lens assembly, which is suspended by a supporting structure capable of being mounted to e.g., the riser of a bow. The bow sight lens assembly is freely rotatable about a pivot axis disposed across a region encompassed by the supporting structure. The pendulum bow sight provides independent horizontal and vertical adjustments of the sighting element for calibration that is good for up to thirty-five yards, and with any bow elevation angle.
