Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to process regular expressions. In at least one embodiment, a regular expression that includes at least one zero-length assert is refactored and processed as an equivalent plurality of regular expressions that do not contain zero-length asserts.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for selectively providing live sporting event video at sports gaming devices may include decrypting a first encrypted video signal is decrypted into a first decrypted video signal that includes a first encoded video stream of a first live sporting event. The first encoded video stream may be decoded into a first decoded video stream that includes a first video of the first live sporting event, which may be displayed by a display device along with first wager information to facilitate a user placing a wager on the first live sporting event. In response to receiving an instruction to display a second video of a second live sporting event, a second encrypted video signal may be decrypted into a second decrypted video signal that includes a second encoded video stream of the second live sporting event. The second encoded video stream may be decoded into a second decoded video stream that includes the second video of the second live sporting event.

Abstract: A network device comprises processing circuitry configured to: receive a plurality of data chunks from at least one source; form a composite data chunk from at least first and second data chunks of the plurality of data chunks; process the composite data chunk to identify a match between a first pattern of characters within the composite data chunk and a stored pattern of characters; and validate or invalidate the match based on metadata of the composite data chunk.

Abstract: A proton-exchange membrane includes a polymer matrix, polymer fibers, or a combination thereof. The proton-exchange membrane also includes a proton-conducting material distributed on the polymer matrix, on the polymer fibers, in the polymer fibers, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A system and method for tracking the creation and evolution of a digital file, the system and method includes determining at a collector agent, a change to the digital file, retrieving metadata about the digital file, applying at least one tokenizing algorithm to calculate a plurality of tokens, performing w-shingling operations on the contents of the digital file, calculating a hash of the digital file, assembling a fingerprint, the fingerprint being a unique identifier of the digital file and based at least in part on the plurality of tokens, the hash, and the metadata results.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device for the removal of biological and chemical contaminants from an air current The apparatus comprises a) a housing that defines an interior chamber, the housing having an inlet and an outlet; b) one or more ultraviolet emitting light sources positioned within the interior chamber; and c) one or more baffles providing resistance to airflow, wherein air enters the chamber through the inlet, travels through the inner chamber, and exits via the outlet. In addition, the apparatus includes a photocatalyst.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for sintering particles using a sintering aid. The sintering aid can be brought into contact with a plurality of particles to be sintered such that a mixture of the particles and the sintering aid is provided. The mixture of particles and the sintering aid is heated and at least part of the sintering aid is vaporized. Sintering of the particles to form a sintered component followed by cooling of the sintered component can complete the process, or in the alternative, a subsequent heating step or steps can be included whereby additional vaporization of the sintering aid can occur.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for joining materials. The process can include providing a first component with a first joint face and a second component with a second joint face. The first component, second component, and bonding layer can be assembled such that the first joint face is oppositely disposed from the second joint face with the bonding layer located at least partially therebetween. Heat can be applied to the first joint face and the second joint face with the bonding layer therebetween. In this manner, wetting and possibly slight dissolving of the first joint face and the second joint face can be afforded, with at least part of the bonding layer being vaporized. In addition, the first joint face can come into intimate contact with the second joint face and form a bond interface, with the first component being bonded to the second component across the bond interface.

Abstract: A method of presenting password information to a user, the method comprising: receiving a password; determining the number of unique character sets utilized in the password; and displaying the number of unique character sets that are contained within the password.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that establishes a secure connection with a peer. During operation, the system obtains an identity for the peer. Next, the system looks up the identity for the peer in a local store, which contains identities for trusted peers. If this lookup fails, the system asks a user if the peer can be trusted. If the user indicates that the peer can be trusted, the system establishes a secure connection with the peer.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention is directed to a method and diluent for stabilizing biomolecules, comprising Tris and a polyhydroxy carbohydrate selected from the group consisting of mannitol and trehalose. The diluent may optionally include casein added as a background blocking protein. The diluent may optionally include sodium azide as an anti-microbial agent. Mannitol and/or trehalose are particularly useful embodiments of polyhydroxy carbohydrates.
