Abstract: Provided here are methods of using a mutated patatin-like phospholipase II? (“pPLAII?,” renamed here MATRILINEAL) to induce haploid induction in plants, cloning a pPLAII? to induce haploid induction in plants, and genetically engineering a plant to contain a mutated pPLAII?. Also provided are methods of applying topical and spray chemicals, lipids, and RNAi molecules to plants during pollination in order to induce haploid production. Further provided are methods of chemically treating plants during pollination to induce haploids while also reducing embryo abortion and increasing seed set.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed are directed to a computing system that performs steps to forensically isolate a compromised storage resource (e.g., bucket) of a production cloud computing and storage environment. In response to detecting an unauthorized access to resources (e.g., objects) stored in storage resource of the production cloud computing and storage environment, the computing system deploys a forensic isolation application that freezes the compromised storage resource so that a forensic analysis can be performed, duplicates the compromised storage resource's resources, and stores the duplicate resources as forensically isolated resources in a storage device outside of the production cloud computing and storage environment. The forensic isolation application then stores the duplicate resources as operational resources. Subsequently, the forensic isolation application reroutes authorized requests for the frozen resource to the operational copy of the frozen resource.

Abstract: Dual-side unfolding building modules are described that allow buildings with greater design flexibility, and particularly, large and open work or living spaces while allowing interesting roof designs such as butterfly type roofs. The building modules fold compactly for transport. The building modules can be prefabricated with interior and exterior finishing material thereby reducing the time required for finishing at the building site.

Abstract: A system and method for providing identifying numbers for virtual circuits and virtual paths in a network is described. The system and method make use of a predetermined group of identifying numbers such that each number corresponds to a particular communication type and port.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that involve a player to a significant degree with an advertisement and its accompanying product or service. One setting of the system and method may be a network application that is adjunct to an online simulation such as an MMO game. The system and method may be implemented in either or both, or in video games that are embodied in just one of these. The system and method provide a convenient way to tie advertising to game content. By use of advertisements, the user (through the player character) can become aware of and can access in-game items, player character attribute modifications, and rewards. Such advertisements may be banner advertisements or any other type of advertising. By taking advantage of the offers presented in the advertisements, a user of the network application may obtain items for their own use or for that of a corresponding MMO character.

Abstract: A method for generating a personal health record for a patient includes: providing a plurality of medical claim objects that are stored in a first format, the medical claim objects including medical claim codes indicative of medical claim events; and translating the medical claim objects from the first format into a second format to generate personal health record data. The personal health record can also include patient or practitioner entered data. The personal health record is portable and may be owned by the patient. Access to the personal health record can be given by a patient to a practitioner to the extent desired. The portable personal health record is stored in standard codes so that medical information, advertisements, queries, and the like can be readily translated to various reader levels to facilitate clear communication at the reader's education level and language.

Abstract: An FM broadcasting system is disclosed for transmitting a data signal simultaneously with an auxiliary audio program on the same subcarriers of an FM transmission channel. The main program is transmitted on the FM transmission channel carrier and the auxiliary audio program, which may be background music, is transmitted on the subcarriers in a conventional manner. According to the present invention, the data signal, which is added to the auxiliary audio program, is a binary digital information signal. This binary digital information signal is used to generate a signal which modulates the phase and amplitude of a data reference signal. The resulting phase transition of the modulated data reference signal represents the binary value of the binary digital information signal. The amplitude of the modulated data reference signal then is adjusted in an automatic gain control amplifier relative to the amplitude of a corresponding frequency range of the auxiliary audio program.
