Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising methyl jasmonate and a polysiloxane polyether for increasing the content of glucosinolates in adult plants of the genus Brassica, for example, broccoli. By means of foliar application of the composition on adult plants having a developed cuticle, a significant increase is achieved in the concentrations of glucosinolates (mainly glucoraphanin and neoglucobrassicin), in the floret of the plants, without degrading the organoleptic properties thereof.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided for authenticating API messages using PKI-based authentication techniques. A client system can generate a private/public key pair associated with the client system and sign an API message using the private key of the private/public key pair and a PKI-based cryptographic algorithm, before sending the signed API message to a server system. The server system (e.g., operated by a service provider) can authenticate the incoming signed API message using a proxy authenticator located in less trusted zone (e.g., a perimeter network) of the server system. In particular, the proxy authenticator can be configured to verify the signature of the signed API message using the public key corresponding to the private key and the same cryptographic algorithm. The authenticated API message can then be forwarded to a more trusted zone (e.g., an internal network) of the server system for further processing.

Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to a method for load balancing. In one or more embodiments, the method selects a server from a plurality of servers to process a communication from a host. Network details for the server and the host are saved during a control session to set up the communication. Then, the method stores the network details in a rule in a data plane and relays media traffic between the host and the server for a media session for the communication using the network details in the rule in the data plane.

Abstract: Techniques for securely generating and using a “fingerprint” for authentication. A server computer receives a first data set from a user device (including a first fuzzy hash of first user data on the user device). The server computer generates a first fingerprint value based on the first data set. The server computer detects an event corresponding to a user in association with the user device. The server computer identifies a baseline fingerprint value (generated based on a baseline fuzzy hash of user data on the user device). The server computer compares the first fingerprint value to the baseline fingerprint value to generate a similarity score. The server computer may determine that the similarity score exceeds a threshold value but does not represent an exact match, and, based on the similarity score, authenticate the user and update the baseline fingerprint value based on the first fingerprint value.

Abstract: A method of making a circuitized substrate in which conductors are formed in such a manner that selected ones of the conductors include solder while others do not and are thus adapted for receiving a different form of connection (e.g., wire-bond) than the solder covered conductors. In one embodiment, the solder may be applied in molten form by immersing the substrate within a bath of the solder while in another the solder may be deposited using a screening procedure.

Abstract: A method and system senses the attitude of an accelerating object by measuring acceleration with accelerometers in three orthogonal axes and measuring angular rate with angular rate sensors disposed about each such axis to compute attitude of the object accurately relative to a vertical axis. A processor updates a quaternion representation of attitude based upon the angular rate of the object, and a corrective rate signal is determined from level frame acceleration as a reference for a Kalman filter in calculating the attitude of the object. When velocity or airspeed is available from an external source, an aiding algorithm is employed to provide accurate attitude representations throughout all flight regimes.
