Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for implementing dynamic network channel switching for secure communication. The present invention is configured to receive, from a first user input device, a resource transfer request via a first communication channel; determine, using a secure channel monitoring engine, that the first communication channel does not meet one or more preset channel requirements for secure communication; determine a second communication channel associated with a second user input device, wherein the second user input device is within a preset geographic radius of the first user input device, wherein the second user input device is associated with the resource distribution platform; trigger, via the second communication channel, the second user input device to establish a communication link with the first user input device to form an alternate communication channel; and execute, via the alternate communication channel, the resource transfer request.

Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for dynamic communication channel switching based on preconfigured network security protocols.

Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for the parallel testing of multiple data processing channels. The present invention may be configured to generate a data packet, send the data packet to a processing channel for processing at a send time, receive the processed data from the processing channel at a return time, determine the percent accuracy for the processed data from the processing channel, and record the send time, return time, and percent accuracy in an analytics system. The present invention may also be configured to determine the security of the processing channel and record the security in the analytics system.

A bridge frame having connecting elements extends through the upper plates and the lower plates to hold the upper plates in the upper plate stack and to hold the lower plates in the lower plate stack.

Abstract: A heat sink assembly includes a plate stack including fin plates and spacer plates with bottom edges forming a compliant thermal interface configured to interface with an electrical component. Upper edges of the fin plates are located above the spacer plates to form airflow channels between the fin plates. The heat sink assembly includes a support frame supporting the fin plates and the spacer plates in the plate stack. The support frame includes a spring support member engaging a spring element to locate the spring element relative to the support frame. The spring element engages the fin plates and the spacer plates to bias the fin plates and the spacer plates in a first biasing direction generally toward the electrical component to press the bottom edges of the fin plates and the spacer plates against the electrical component.

Abstract: The invention relates to an engineered outer domain (eOD) of HIV gp120 and mutants thereof and methods of making and using the same. The mutant eODs may be advantageous for the elicitation of CD4-binding site (CD4bs)-directed broadly-neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) and/or improve binding to mature VRC01 and/or improve binding to germline VRC01 and the germlines of other VH1-2 derived broadly-neutralizing antibodies. The mutant eODs may also include glycan-masking mutations on eOD. The present invention also includes fusions of eOD to various protein multimers to enhance immunogenicity as well as the design of cocktails of different eODs that represent the full diversity of HIV sequences within the VRC01 epitope and surroundings.
