Abstract: A method and system for generating data indicative of a relationship representation in a digital environment operating on a user device using a system. A controller receives a request for relationship data associated with given data item in a plurality of data items and obtains at least one other data item of the plurality of data items based on the relationship data associated with the given data item. The controller generates data indicative of the relationship representation, the data indicative of the relationship representation having variable dimensions on a display of the user device. The data includes data representing a first portion comprising a representation of at least the given data item, a second portion comprising a representation of the at least one other data item of the plurality of data items, and an indication of the relationship between the given data item and the at least one other data item of the plurality of data items.

Abstract: Mycobacterial antigens, such as MAP and M. bovis antigens, are described. The antigens can be used in subunit compositions to elicit immune responses in order to prevent and/or control mycobacterial infections, as well as in diagnostics in order to detect mammals infected with mycobacteria.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to peptides and more specifically to anti-biofilm and/or immunomodulatory peptides.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for distributing linear and interactive virtual reality (“VR”) video content. The VR content may be distributed by streaming over varying consumer network connections such as Wi-Fi, LTE Wireless Radio, or wired network connections. Bandwidth and latency may vary from network-user to network-user and may also vary widely during the playback of the VR content as other network users vary their bandwidth usage. Apparatus and methods are provided for ingesting, managing, composing, tracking, and experiencing VR content. Apparatus and methods are provided for reducing bandwidth and computational overhead associated with streaming VR content to a viewing device.

Abstract: A payee (300A) sends a financial document (335) such as an invoice to a payer (1A) via a payment adviser service (2001, 3001). The payer (1A) sends a financial document (45) such as an advice of payment to the payment adviser service (2001, 3001) and instructions for payment (80) to a payment clearance system (100). The payment clearance system sends to the payee (300A) information on where to access the financial document (45) by including it in the payee's bank statement (315).

Abstract: Methods and compositions for enhancing an immune response to a selected antigen are described. The methods are useful for the treatment and prevention of microbial infections, such as infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. The methods and compositions include host defense peptides, polyphosphazenes and immunostimulatory sequences to enhance the immune response to a coadministered antigen.

Abstract: A wireless user device, in radio communication with a first access point of one or more networks with which it could communicate via at least one of a plurality of access points, sends a network selection request to the first access point. If the network wishes to initiate a response from another access point in the same or another network, the first access point forwards the network selection request to one or more neighboring access points, in the same or another network. If any of the neighboring access points is able to communicate with the user device, that neighboring access point sends a response directly to the wireless user device and the wireless user device chooses the most suitable network from the responses sent.

Abstract: A panel for use in a foundation or above-grade may be made with studs for strength, and for attachment to an interior wall. The composite panel has two outer facing sheets, and a core. Studs are provided on one of the outer facing sheets. The manufacturing process involves forming the panel on a mold by laying down a gel coat (optional), a lower facing sheet (used instead of, or with, the gel coat), the core piece(s), and the top facing layer. This can be done by a lamination process, or preferably is done by laying down fibrous material for the facing sheet(s) and vacuum-infusing it with resin, and curing the panel. The core pieces may either be pre-made, or (if infusion is used) may themselves be made in this process, by infusing them with the resin as well. The studs are preferably of galvanized steel and are secured by means of an adhesive.

Abstract: A system categorizes one or more objects based at least in part upon one or more characteristics associated therewith. A first classifier includes a rule set to determine if each of the one or more objects meets or exceeds a quality threshold. A second classifier, orthogonal to the first classifier, includes a rule set to determine if each of the one or more objects meets or exceeds a quality threshold. In one embodiment, the quality threshold associated with the first classifier and the quality threshold associated with the second classifier are less than a predetermined target threshold. The result for each object of the first classifier is compared to the result of the second classifier. The object is categorized if the result of the first classifier and the result of the second classifier match. The object is uncategorized if the result of the first classifier does not match the result of the second classifier.

Abstract: There is described a method of processing data packets in a data stream in a communication system. In the method, a plurality of data packets from the data stream are analyzed in order to generate profile data which indicates how one or more parts of each of the plurality of data packets varies from data packet to data packet. The profile data is then made available so that a data packet compression scheme that accords with the profile data can be implemented on data packets in the communication system.

Abstract: A method of determining availability of a connection between a wireless local area network and a home network of a mobile user device prior to initiating connection or authentication comprises selecting a network device; and sending a probe signaling message comprising a user device to the selected network device. The network device uses this home identifier data to formulate a signaling message that it sends towards the appropriate home network to contract a home authentication server. An indication to the user device of the result of the attempt is returned.

Abstract: A Web-based management engine is provided. The engine includes a Web page generator that generates Web pages based upon data relating to procedural steps for management of the at least one aspect of the behavior of the network entity. The engine also includes an interfacing component arranged to communicate data between a Web server and an SNMP agent in accordance with a predetermined data structure so as to manage the at least one aspect of the behavior of the network entity. Such a Web-based management engine obviates the complex to generate and inflexible template Web pages of known Web-based management systems.
