  • Patent number: 12112355
    Abstract: A disclosed server system for dynamically generating and serving content for presentation across different channels can perform the following operations: receive a request from a client device for a subset of content elements, the request designating a desired channel for presenting content in a page, identify the subset having at least one content attribute that satisfies one or more subset creation criteria indicating a category identifier for a slot in a page template used for generating the page, dynamically generate the subset by: for each content element in the subset, dynamically adjusting presentation of the singular instance of the content element based on presentation requirements of the desired channel, the singular instance being commonly used across all device interface types, and serve the subset of the content elements to the client device, which includes the singular instances of the content elements dynamically adjusted for presentation in the desired channel.

  • Patent number: 11528611
    Abstract: Method and Systems for configuring, monitoring, updating and validating Internet of Things (IoT) software code and configuration using blockchain smart contract technology. The use of smart contracts for delivering software code and or configuration scripts to IoT devices is an enhanced cybersecurity solution meant to ensure the security and integrity of IoT devices. The use of smart contracts is also shown how it can be used for verifying the integrity of the IoT devices software code and or configuration is a proactive method of cybersecurity. The proactive cybersecurity method will prevent man in the middle attacks as well as preventing rogue devices from impacting other IoT devices or networks.

  • Patent number: 10494657
    Abstract: This invention relates to the in vitro production of cyclic peptides using cyanobacterial enzymes, such as patellamide biosynthesis enzymes. Linear peptide substrates are cyclized using an isolated cyanbacterial macrocyclase, such as PatG from Prochloron spp. Before cyclization, residues in the linear peptide substrates may be heterocyclized using isolated cyanbacterial heterocyclasses, such as PatD or TruD heterocyclase. Methods of the invention may be useful, for example, for the production of cyclic peptidyl molecules, including cyclotides, such as katalas, and cyanobactins, such as patellamides and telomestatins, for example for use in the development of therapeutics.

  • Patent number: 10212481
    Abstract: A method of displaying a home menu interface on a content viewing device, such as a television, is described. The interface is comprised of two components: a launcher and an accelerator. Each of these components include multiple tiles. One type of launcher tile represents a content source. The user can select this tile and enable a direct link to the content source application. Only after selecting the tile, does the content source application open. An accelerator is associated with a specific content source. An accelerator tile displays content previews or enables easy playback of content provided by the content source. The user can select an accelerator tile and enable a deep link to the content, taking the user straight to the content, bypassing a hierarchy of menu options.

  • Publication number: 20180179570
    Abstract: This invention relates to the in vitro production of cyclic peptides using cyanobacterial enzymes, such as patellamide biosynthesis enzymes. Linear peptide substrates are cyclized using an isolated cyanbacterial macrocyclase, such as PatG from Prochloron spp. Before cyclisation, residues in the linear peptide substrates may be heterocyclised using isolated cyanbacterial heterocyclasses, such as PatD or TruD heterocyclase. Methods of the invention may be useful, for example, for the production of cyclic peptidyl molecules, including cyclotides, such as katalas, and cyanobactins, such as patellamides and telomestatins, for example for use in the development of therapeutics.
