Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to generation and use of a system that allows a payment service to read payment objects, onboard users, and detect fraud using data from the payment objects. The systems and methods may include receiving instructions to obtain images of a payment instrument and generating data representing those images, which may include a 3D model of the payment instrument. A comparison of the generated data and previously stored data may be performed and the results of this comparison may be utilized to determine a likelihood that a fraudulent event is occurring with respect to the payment instrument.

Abstract: The present invention provides for methods and compositions for identifying and detecting autoantigens. Candidate autoantigens are identified by obtaining a subject sample from which HLA-DR-presented peptides are collected and identified using mass spectometry, then synthesized and reacted with the same subject peripheral blood or effected tissue. In particular, the present invention provides for endothelial cell growth factor as a novel autoantigen biomarker for Lyme disease-associated arthritis.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing a circuit. In one embodiment, a tool generates path information based upon a netlist that describes the circuit. A synthesizer generates a nodal data structure responsive to the path information. A parser is operable to parse a nodal query to provide a tree structure such that each leaf of the tree structure comprises a segmented expression of the nodal query. A resolver accesses the nodal data structure and tree structure in order to generate a solution set that satisfies at least one of the segmented expressions.

Abstract: A modified trie table for indexing data and permitting fast access according to a search key in a digital device is present in a memory system. The table may include compressed table elements having a flags field having a compressed value. Each compressed table element has a plurality of KeyString fields to be compared against portions of a search key, and a plurality of pointers, where each pointer is associated with a KeyString field. The table may also has uncompressed table elements, the uncompressed table elements having a flags field having an uncompressed value. Each uncompressed table element has pointers, wherein a portion of the search key is used to select a pointer of the plurality of pointers when the table is searched.

Abstract: Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with reducing a bounding box for a net in a VLSI design of cells, where a cell may have two or more pins by which it can be connected to one or more other cells in the design, is described. One exemplary method may include receiving the design, producing an initial bounding box for a net in the design, and reducing the initial bounding box to a reduced bounding box.
