Abstract: Disclosed herein is a sensors-as-a-service ecosystem. In use, the system includes functions for receiving first sensor data at a sensors as a service platform, where the first sensor data corresponds to a first level of capabilities for a first sensor. The system also receives a selection of a sensor upgrade for the first sensor and provisions enhanced sensor capabilities for the sensor upgrade based on the selection. Furthermore, the system sends a sensor update with the enhanced sensor capabilities from the sensors as a service platform to the first sensor. Finally, the system receives second sensor data from the first sensor at the sensors as a service platform, where the second sensor data corresponds to a second level of capabilities for the first sensor.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system uses multiscale modeling and optimization algorithms to design DNA nanostructures that self-assemble into a target structure, such as a tetrastack lattice. The system converts a target structure into a Boolean Satisfiability problem and models nanostructure units as “patchy” nanostructure models, where patches encode kinetic properties that affect how each nanostructure model connects with other nanostructure models. The system iteratively simulates self-assembly of a plurality of nanostructure models into a nanostructure assembly model, and compares the nanostructure assembly model with the target structure to determine a set of optimal parameters (such as patch type assignments) for the nanostructure units that reliably result in self-assembly into the target structure.

Abstract: Techniques for replacing an advertisement in a webpage from a website with another advertisement are disclosed. A response including the webpage is intercepted in a network device deployed in an in-line fashion, preferably at a data traffic point along a network. When it is determined that the webpage includes an advertisement that is replaceable, a preferable advertisement more correlated to the interests of a user is embedded in data packets to replace those for the original advertisement. Subsequently, the preferable advertisement is served when the webpage is displayed.
