Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods of generating a complete and accurate geometrically optimized environment. Stereo pair images depicting an environment are selected from a plurality of images to generate a Digital Surface Model (DSM). Characteristics of objects in the environment are determined and identified. The geometry of the objects may be determined and fit with polygons and textured facades. By determining the objects, the geometry, and the material from original satellite imagery and from a DSM created from the matching stereo pair point clouds, a complete and accurate geometrically optimized environment is created.

Abstract: Various embodiments comprise systems and methods to generate privacy audit reports for web applications. In some examples a computing system comprises a data extraction component, a risk assessment component, and an exposure component. The data extraction component crawls a web application and identifies data, data exposure points, and security policies implemented by the web application. The risk assessment component generates a risk score for the web application based on the amount data, the data sensitivity, the amount and type of data exposure points, and the security policies. The risk assessment component generates the privacy audit report for the web application. The privacy audit report comprises the risk score, an inventory of data types, an inventory of the data exposure points, and a graphical representation of historical risk scores. The exposure component transfers the privacy audit report for delivery to an operator of the web application.

Abstract: Techniques to facilitate automatic insertion of security policies for web applications are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, security configuration information for a web application is received. A web request for a web resource is received and processed to determine an HTTP security header for insertion into a web response to the web request based on properties of the web request. The web response is intercepted and the HTTP security header is inserted into the web response to generate a modified web response. The web response is processed to determine a security enhancement to apply to the web resource based on the security configuration information. The security enhancement is applied to the web resource to generate a modified web resource. The modified web response and the modified web resource are provided to a client application in response to the web request for the web resource.

Abstract: Techniques to facilitate protection of web application components are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a plurality of web resources associated with a web applications is received. The plurality of web resources is processed to generate individual generalized code templates for each of the web resources by removing data constants and code formatting elements from the web resources. A set of the individual generalized code templates for each of the web resources is stored in a probabilistic data structure. A security web module comprising the probabilistic data structure having the set of the individual generalized code templates for each of the web resources stored therein is deployed to protect the web application.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for isolating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC). More particularly, the present invention discloses methods for isolating endothelial progenitor cells that exhibit self-renewal and differentiation capacity. The isolated cellular population of the present invention is useful in a wide range of clinical and research setting including inter alia, the in vitro or in vivo generation of endothelial cells and the therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of a range of conditions via the administration of these cells. Also facilitated is the isolation of endothelial progenitor cells for research purposes such as in vitro based screening systems for testing the therapeutic impact and/or toxicity of potential treatment or culture regimes to which these cells may be exposed to. The present invention also discloses methods for isolating mesenchymal stem cells, in particular mesenchymal stem cells of fetal and/or maternal origin.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method for generating mesenchymal stem cells from pluripotent cells, the method comprising (i) differentiating a population of pluripotent stem cells in the presence of an inhibitor of endogenous activin and TGF-? signalling and (ii) passaging the cells differentiated in step (i) in the presence of a mesenchymal stem cell medium for a time and under conditions sufficient to produce mesenchymal stem cells. The present invention also relates to mesenchymal stem cells produced by the methods of the present invention and uses thereof.

Abstract: The invention provides antibody which can bind to an antigen present in a heme-containing cell and to which a fluorophore with an emission wavelength of between 420 nm and 500 nm is bound. The antibody of the invention can bind to an antigen of interest in a heme-containing cell and, due to the fluorophore, the binding interaction can be visualized. This facilitates the use of fluorescent labels for immunophenotyping of red blood cells and, in particular, fetal red blood cells within a blood sample from a pregnant female. It also facilitates simultaneous use of immunophenotyping and fluorescence-based nucleic acid analytical techniques such as FISH. Genotype and phenotype can be detected at the same time.
