Abstract: Search management systems and methods that cryptographically-secure search indices, search queries, and associated document records while in-use by cloud-based search software without requiring modification to the cloud-based search core software. The search proxy resides between a cloud-based vendor application and the cloud-based search software. The search proxy uses key-based deterministic cryptographic tokenization to irreversibly cryptographically-secure plaintext words from document records for indexing and plaintext keywords from search queries for search and retrieval. The search proxy separately uses key-based encryption on the document record's pre-tokenized plaintext words, adding the encrypted data as a separate field to the document record. This encrypted field is stored as part of the document by the search service.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to an apparatus for filling a central open space in a jar. The apparatus includes a base, an indexing station including a magazine, a blade, and a first actuator, a filling station including cartridges, and a second actuator. The magazine is rotatably mounted to the base. The platform of the cutting station is configured to receive a whole cucumber at a loading area and is incrementally indexed to reposition the whole cucumber from the loading area to a cutting area above the blade. The first actuator is configured to urge the whole cucumber through the blade and cut the whole cucumber into spears. The spears drop into and are held by one of the cartridges. The second actuator is configure to push at least one of the spears out from the cartridge into the central open space of the jar.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for post-emergence selective weed control in turf sites by applying an herbicidal composition comprising sulfentrazone and quinclorac to a locus where weeds are present.

Abstract: Disclosed is an orthogonal access control system based on cryptographic operations provided by multi-hop proxy re-encryption (PRE) that strictly enforces only authorized access to data by groups of users, scalable to large numbers of users. Scalable delegation of decryption authority can be shared with a plurality of members of a group whether those members be users or devices, and members of a group can further create sub groups and delegate decryption authority to those members, whether users or devices. Members are granted access via generation of transform keys, and membership or access can be revoked merely be deleting the transform key—no elimination of the encrypted data, regardless of its storage location, is needed.
