Abstract: A platform for allowing large companies, such as enterprise companies, to effectively and automatically manage their workforce. The platform provides a single instance for workers and workforce suppliers to login and provide an access worker data. The platform allows an enterprise entity to access worker and workforce supplier data through a single application associated with the enterprise. An enterprise entity, workforce supplier, and workers may be linked together through a certified engagement. One or more standard or custom forms, tasks, and objects may be generated for each enterprise for use in one or more workflows for the enterprise. A generated workflow can automatically be performed, at least in part by communicating with workflow logic. The workflow logic may receive information requests and/or queries from the enterprise application, and route the requests and/or queries to a particular worker, administrator, or other appropriate destination in order to complete the workflow.

Abstract: A content-based authorization method is described, wherein the method is operable to validate that a user has access to certain content. By having access to the content, the system is able to decide that the user is authorized to access the content, and may perform operations or set access rights accordingly.

Abstract: A digital object for distribution from a provider to a content user and a method of distribution of such an object is disclosed. The digital object comprises content and a tag containing data that is derived algorithmically from the content and from a secret not known to the content user. The tag is constructed such that the content user can, upon receipt of a communication from a requestor purporting to have the authority of the provider, perform an exchange of information with the requestor, and by inspection of the exchanged information and of the tag, determine whether the requestor is in possession of the secret and choose to act upon or not act upon the communication accordingly. The tag may additionally include a value that defines an access category that specifies the extent to which the owner wishes the content to be distributed.

Abstract: The invention provides isolated nucleic acids and their encoded polypeptides that alter tocotrienol content in seeds. The invention further provides expression cassettes, host cells and transformed plants containing the nucleic acids. The present invention further provides methods for altering tocotrienol content in seeds.

Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding an isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic enzyme. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic enzyme, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic enzyme in a transformed host cell.

Abstract: This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a vitamin E biosynthtetic enzyme. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the vitamin E biosynthtetic enzyme, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the vitamin E biosynthtetic enzyme in a transformed host cell.

Abstract: Antisense expression of a stearoyl-ACP desaturase gene in sunflower results in more than a four-fold increase in seed stearate, and can enhance palmitate content as well. Thus, sunflower oil containing over 40 percent saturated fatty acids can be produced, which is desirable in the context of various products, such as coating fat, margarine, soap and shortening.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for increasing the level of preselected amino acids in seeds of plants, thereby enhancing the nutritional value of the seeds, by genetic modification. The present invention is particularly useful in increasing the methionine, lysine, and/or cysteine content in seeds of plants. Also provided, are isolated endogenous DNA molecules which encode soybean albumins. The present invention also provides an antibody which is capable of specifically binding to soybean albumins. The present invention further provides methods for isolating and purifying 2S albumins.
