Abstract: A process for production of galacto-oligosaccharides is provided. The process for production of galacto-oligosaccharides includes growing Sporobolomyces singularis in a fermentation medium, harvesting the said microbes from the fermentation medium, inoculating the said microbes with lactose solution in a reactor and incubating in an aerobic condition to convert lactose into galacto-oligosaccharides. The process also includes separating the galacto-oligosaccharides from the microbes; filtering thus obtained galacto-oligosaccharides; and optionally making the powder form of galacto-oligosaccharides. The process for producing galacto-oligosaccharides provides high yield and high purity.

Abstract: An example chatbot generation platform may receive a request to generate a chatbot; determine a chatbot template for the chatbot based on the request; obtain custom chatbot information according to the chatbot template; generate a chatbot corpus for the chatbot using the custom chatbot information and the chatbot template; generate a set of question and answer (QnA) pairs based on the chatbot corpus; configure a language analysis model for the chatbot; build the chatbot according to the set of QnA pairs and the language analysis model; and deploy the chatbot to a chatbot host platform for operation. The chatbot may be built to engage in an interaction with a user via the chatbot host platform, use the language analysis model to select one or more QnA pairs from the set of QnA pairs during the interaction, and train the language analysis model based on the interaction.

Abstract: A method for securing a networked computer system executing an application includes identifying a vulnerable computer resource in the networked computer system, determining all computer resources in the networked computer system that are accessible from, or are accessed by, the vulnerable computer resource, and prioritizing implementation of a remediation action to secure the vulnerable computer resource if a vulnerability path extends from the vulnerable computer resource to a critical computer resource that contains sensitive information. The remediation action to secure the vulnerable computer resource is a safe remediation action that does not impact availability of the application executing on the networked computer system.

Abstract: A multilayer belt structure that can be used for creping or structuring a cellulosic web in a tissue making process. The multilayer belt structure allows for the formation of various shaped and sized openings in the top surface of the belt, while still providing a structure having the strength, durability, and flexibility required for tissue making processes.

Abstract: A security document has a security substrate, a security device and a structural weakness element, wherein the security device is coupled to the security substrate, wherein the structural weakness element is integrated with at least one of the security substrate or the security device, the structural weakness element defining an anti-harvesting area and a bulk area, and wherein the anti-harvesting area has one or more of structural fidelity or optical fidelity with the bulk area.

Abstract: A watermark sheet made up of a substrate layer with opposing water and fiber surfaces, a pattern of at least two watermark indicia, and a set of apertures extending from the water surface toward the fiber surface of the substrate layer, is provided. The pattern of at least two watermark indicia is distributed over a continuous area of the fiber surface. The inventive watermark sheet provides watermarks of improved quality. Also provided is a watermark sleeve made up of a cylinder mold and the inventive watermark sheet wrapped around and affixed to an outer diametric surface of the cylinder mold. In addition, methods of manufacturing the watermark sheet, the watermark sleeve, a watermarked paper and a high security document are provided, as well as products resulting from these methods of manufacture.

Abstract: This patent document describes, among other things, methods and systems for determining which if any page resources a server might push to a client (using, e.g., an HTTP 2.0 server push mechanism). The approaches described herein improve web page load times by pushing page resources that a client is likely to need to render the base page, while reducing wasteful server pushes of resources that the client is unlikely to request from the server because, for example, they are already cached at the client.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for reducing a quantity of data sent carrier aggregation (CA) related capability reporting by a UE operating in a cell using full dimension multiple-input multiple-output (FD-MIMO) techniques. In an exemplary method, a base station obtains a relative weight of baseband processing for a component carrier (CC) configured for full-dimension multiple-input multiple-output (FD-MIMO) communications for a user equipment (UE); determines, based on the relative weight, to enable FD-MIMO downlink (DL) transmissions to the UE via the CC; and transmits an FD-MIMO transmission via the CC to the UE.

Abstract: A technique that addresses the problem of a TCP connection's throughput being very vulnerable to early losses implements a pair of controls around ssthresh. A first control is a loss forgiveness mechanism that applies to the first n-loss events by the TCP connection. Generally, this mechanism prevents new TCP connections from ending slow-start and becoming conservative on window growth too early (which would otherwise occur due to the early losses). The second control is a self-decay mechanism that is applied beyond the first n-losses that are handled by the first control. This mechanism decouples of ssthresh drop from cwnd and is thus useful in arresting otherwise steep ssthresh drops. The self-decay mechanism also enables TCP to enter/continue to be slow-start even after fast-recovery from a loss event.

Abstract: A computerized method and system for organizing meet-ups based on transaction information are provided. Example embodiments may include receiving a selection of a geographic area from a first user and displaying a map of the geographic area including one or more item symbols.

Abstract: A sheet material having a security device applied over a paper machine made or ‘soft-edged’ through-hole and a method for preparing such a sheet material is provided. The through-hole(s) is formed in a forming fibrous web before it becomes sufficiently consolidated and then the security device is applied onto the fibrous web and preferably over the through-hole(s) at or near a couch roll or similar tool of a paper machine when the fibrous web constitutes a sufficiently consolidated, fully formed wet web. Moreover, papers made in accordance with the inventive method, when subjected to the Circulation Simulation Test, showed minimal damage at the paper/security device interface. Further, the surface-applied security devices showed acceptable levels of intaglio ink adhesion, and the papers had higher cross-direction (CD) tensile strength and much less show-through on opposing sides thereof.
