Abstract: A method and system for making a bone plug using cortical bone material. A patient jaw having insufficient bone at a surgical site may be scanned to provide a 3D image which may be used to design a virtual bone plug and to fabricate the bone plug for placement within the patient. The bone plug may be formed from cortical bone that can be reconstituted and demineralized or demineralized and milled to shape.

Abstract: A method includes collecting system calls and call parameters invoked by monitored applications for target computer systems. The system calls and call parameters are received from operating system kernels on the plurality of target computer systems. Sequences of systems calls and call parameters of the monitored applications are correlated among different target computer systems to deduce malicious activities. Remedial action(s) are performed in response to malicious activities being deduced as being malicious by the correlating. Another method includes determining that network activity at a specific time is deemed to be suspicious. Using IP addresses involved in the suspicious network activity, computer system(s) are determined that are sources of the suspicious network activity. Based on the specific time and the determined computer system(s), application(s) are determined that are executing on the determined computer system(s) that are causing the suspicious network activity.

Abstract: The invention features protected linker compounds which comprise at one terminus a protected amino group and at another other terminus a phosphorous activating group, such as a phosphoramidite group. These protected linker compounds are introduced chemically at the 5?-end of oligonucleotides for the purpose of preparing 5?-amino modified oligonucleotides. After deprotection, the thereby introduced amino group then allows further modification (e.g. attachment of dyes) or immobilization (on surfaces or beads) of the oligonucleotide. Specifically, the presented amino protecting group is designed to provide such protected linker compounds in a solid form, which facilitates efficient purification by precipitation or crystallization and aliquoting for distribution and storage.
