Abstract: A system for basing drones is described. A network of geographically diverse hangars provides storage and charging locations as well as backhaul communications infrastructure and video monitoring. As drones are needed, a central command point tasks an available drone, which may or may not already be located in proximity to a target. If additional drones are needed, drones can be flown to the area of interest and continuous coverage provided by charging drones while an active drone is conducting the mission, then rotating charged drones into the active mission. Structures for the hangars, the overall system, and methods of operation are described.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for parallel or sequential transgene stacking in plants to produce plants with selected phenotypes.

Abstract: A method of gene editing or gene stacking within a FAD3 loci by cleaving, in a site directed manner, a location in a FAD3 gene in a cell, to generate a break in the FAD3 gene and then ligating into the break a nucleic acid molecule associated with one or more traits of interest is disclosed.

Abstract: An Engineered Transgene Integration Platform (ETIP) is described that can be inserted randomly or at targeted locations in plant genomes to facilitate rapid selection and detection of a GOI that is perfectly targeted (both the 5? and 3? ends) at the ETIP genomic location. One element in the subject disclosure is the introduction of specific double stranded breaks within the ETIP. In some embodiments, an ETIP is described using zinc finger nuclease binding sites, but may utilize other targeting technologies such as meganucleases, CRISPRs, TALs, or leucine zippers. Also described are compositions of, and methods for producing, transgenic plants wherein the donor or payload DNA expresses one or more products of an exogenous nucleic acid sequence (e.g. protein or RNA) that has been stably-integrated into an ETIP in a plant cell. In embodiments, the ETIP facilitates testing of gene candidates and plant expression vectors from ideation through Development phases.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program embodiments are disclosed for managing network configuration and operational state data in a data network. In an embodiment, a data schema defined in a data modeling language may be received. The data schema may contain one or more data nodes describing network configuration and operational state data. The data schema may then be translated to a data definition for a serializable data structure. The data definition may be compiled into a first binding for a first programming language and a second binding for a second programming language. The first and second bindings may include accessors for accessing data of the serializable data structure.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a network access service. An embodiment operates by receiving a request for a network access service of a collective, the request including one or more operations to be performed by the network access service, in which the collective comprises sectors and is a first level of a multi-tier hierarchy for distributing the network access service across a plurality of virtual machines; distributing the one or more operations to the sectors of the collective, in which each of the sectors comprises a set of configurable resources related to a physical topology of the sector; and transmitting results of the one or more operations performed by at least some of the configurable resources.

Abstract: System, method, and computer product embodiments for providing a distributed input/output (I/O) architecture for network functions virtualization. A first load balancer includes an I/O interface for receiving a packet from a network. The first load balancer constructs a flow key using portions of the packet. The flow key is hashed to generate a bucket value. Then, the first load balancer locates a second load balancer for processing the packet by looking up the bucket value from a lookup table stored on the first load balancer. Finally, the first load balancer forwards at least one of the packet, the flow key, or metadata associated with the packet to the second load balancer causing the second load balancer to perform a flow key lookup to determine an application server for processing the packet.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing the state of resources shared among a plurality of network nodes. in an embodiment, a transaction may first be received from a transaction provider. The transaction may target one or more data objects within a communications network. The transaction may be distributed to a first set of data store nodes and network nodes that subscribe to at least one of the targeted data objects. Each data store node may store a plurality of data objects within the network. The transaction may then be distributed hierarchically to a second set of data store nodes and network nodes by the first set of nodes. The transaction may include one or more subtransactions, and the transaction may not complete until each subtransaction completes.
