Abstract: The present invention relates to the production of a non-transgenic plant resistant or tolerant to a herbicide of the phosphoniorethylglycine family, e.g., glyphosate. The present invention also relates to the use of a recombinagenic oligonucleobase to make a desired mutation in the chromosomal or episomal sequences of a plant in the gene encoding for 5-enol pyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). The mutated protein, which substantially maintains the catalytic activity of the wild-type protein, allows for increased resistance or tolerance of the plant to a herbicide of the phophonomethylglycine family, and allows for the substantially normal growth or development of the plant, its organs, tissues or cells as compared to the wild-type plant irrespective of the presence or absence of the herbicide.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for embedding and importing content prediction instructions. Content prediction instructions are customized. The content prediction instruction is part of content prediction logic. The prediction instruction is embedded in a document in response to receiving a user selection to embed the prediction instruction.

Abstract: Systems, methods and media for authenticating a user based on user-browser interaction are disclosed. Embodiments of a method may include, during an e-commerce session with a user, receiving a request for an action from the user and determining whether the requested action requires additional authentication. Embodiments may also include requesting analysis of user-browser interaction for the session, receiving a pattern matching score for the session, and performing an action based on the pattern matching score and the requested action. The pattern matching score may provide an indication of a comparison between the user's interaction with a browser during the session and a user-browser interaction profile for the user. The performed action may include completing an e-commerce transaction, accessing or modifying information, changing a password, requesting additional information, denying the requested action, or other action.

Abstract: Systems, methods and media for detecting fraudulent behavior during an Internet commerce session are disclosed. Embodiments of a method may include establishing an e-commerce session with a user and requesting fraud detection analysis of user-browser interaction during the e-commerce session. Embodiments may also include receiving fraud detection results for the e-commerce session, where the fraud detection results may provide an indication of a comparison between the user's interaction with a browser during the e-commerce session and known fraudulent behavior. Embodiments may also include performing an action based on the fraud detection results. Determining the fraud detection results may include determining user-browser interaction data associated with the session and comparing the user-browser interaction data to known fraudulent human or automated program behavior.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for providing an in-context response to an instant message. One or more instant messaging chat conversations are displayed to a user. When a determination is made that the user has selected a turn in the chat conversation, a response input area is provided to the user, wherein the response input area is used to receive a response from the user to the selected turn. A link is created between the response and the selected turn. The response is sent to one or more participants in the chat conversation. At any point, the response input area may be minimized to a visual response indicator, wherein the visual response indicator is placed in proximity to the selected turn to indicate that the selected turn has an associated response. When a chat participant selects the visual response indicator, the linked response is displayed to the participant.

Abstract: A system and method for notifying emergency responders, family, and other contact parties of an urgent vehicle condition such as a breakdown or crash, by using a short-range wireless communicator mounted on the vehicle to employ a peer-to-peer communications capability to find and co-opt a nearby long-range communication device, such as a Bluetooth enabled phone, which is not mounted on the vehicle, such as a passer's-by telephone. The invention obtains authorization from the co-opted device to use it as a forwarding proxy, and transmits a notification message to one or more parties, such as emergency dispatchers, family members, etc., via the short-range link to the co-opted device, which then transmits the message to the recipient via the long-range network, such as via a telephone network.
