Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for self-describing configurations of cloud-based applications for data security providers monitoring communications between a client device and the applications. An application programming interface (API) can be provided that allows the data security provider to inspect entity objects used by the cloud-based application. Data entities can be marked to have protected fields. A token identifier can be generated by the data security provider and sent to the cloud-based application. The cloud-based application can insert the token identifier in communications between the application and a client device allowing the data security provider to protect sensitive data associated with the protected fields.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for supporting sharing the same table for protected and non-protected data columns. Different data object can be defined on the same database table. A discriminate flag can be defined to identify the data object to which a particular row belongs. The discriminate flag can be built into the data object so that rows belong to the data object are picked up during a query. Data protection can then be configured at the data object level so that rows that belong to the data object are subject to protection such as encryption or tokenization.

Abstract: Techniques for ranking members based on an influence score are described. For example, an influence score process can access, from a database in an online social network, member data of a first member in response to receiving a ranking request of the first member. Additionally, a contribution factor for each first-degree connection of the first member can be determined. A centrality score for the first member can be determined based on the contribution factor for each first-degree connection of the first member. Moreover, an expertise score for the first member can be determined based on the member data of the first member. Furthermore, an influence score of the first member can be calculated based on the centrality score and the expertise score. Subsequently, a user interface is configured to cause a presentation, on a display of a device, of the ranking of the first member based on the influence score.

Abstract: A conductive layer for a thin film transistor (TFT) array panel includes a multi-layered portion defining a source electrode and a drain electrode of a TFT device, and includes a first sub-layer, a second sub-layer, a third sub-layer, and at least one additional sub-layer. The third and the first sub-layers include indium and zinc oxide materials. An indium to zinc content ratio in the first sub-layer is greater than that in the third sub-layer. An indium to zinc content ratio in the additional sub-layer is formulated between that in the first and the third sub-layers. The content ratio differentiation between the first and the third sub-layers affects a lateral etch profile associated with a gap generated in the second conductive layer between the source and the drain electrodes, where the associated gap width in the third sub-layer is wider than that that in the first sub-layer.

Abstract: Many of the current IMS standards and enriched services were originally designed for the individual subscribers that are serviced by the wireless network. However, the IMS standards do not fully address the problem of providing the IMS enriched services and features to business PBX customers or wholesale customers that do not directly register to the IMS network. The present invention discloses a method for providing IMS enriched services and features to business PBX customers or wholesale customers through the use of a static provisioning and registration method.

Abstract: Efficient processing and/or routing of emergency calls in an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) for VoIP (Voice over IP) subscribers can be enabled. In one aspect, an E911 profile is generated, for example, by an application server, for each VoIP subscriber based in part on current location information associated with the subscriber, such as, the subscriber's IP address. The E911 profile is pushed to the HSS (Home Subscriber Server) of the IMS. The E911 profile can then be stored in the HSS and can be queried by an E-CSCF (Emergency Call Session Control Function) during emergency call processing. Moreover, when an emergency call is received from the subscriber, the E-CSCF can retrieve the E911 profile associated with the subscriber from the HSS and route the call to an appropriate PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) based on an analysis of the information in the E911 profile.
