  • Patent number: 11959090
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

  • Patent number: 11960832
    Abstract: Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other computer-implemented methods are used to identify various semantically important chunks in documents, automatically label them with appropriate datatypes and semantic roles, and use this enhanced information to assist authors and to support downstream processes. Chunk locations, datatypes, and semantic roles can often be automatically determined from what is here called “context”, to wit, the combination of their formatting, structure, and content; those of adjacent or nearby content; overall patterns of occurrence in a document, and similarities of all these things across documents (mainly but not exclusively among documents in the same document set).

  • Patent number: 11880679
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for supporting patching in a multi-tenant application server environment. The system can associate one or more partitions with a tenant, for use by that tenant, wherein a partition is a runtime and administrative subdivision or slice of a domain. A patching process can take advantage of high-availability features provided by an application server clustering environment, to apply patches in a controlled, rolling restart, which maintains a domain's ability to operate without interruption, or with zero downtime. The process can be used to automate complex or long running tasks, including preserving an unpatched or prior version of an application server, application, or other software component for possible rollback, or providing automatic reversion in the event of an unrecoverable error.

  • Publication number: 20230409364
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for universal naming convention (UNC) path redirection between a local desktop and a remote desktop. The method generally includes selecting, by a client device in an internal network, via an application running on a remote desktop in an external network, to open a UNC path for a resource located in the internal network. A firewall restricts the external network to access the resource located in the internal network. The method generally includes receiving, at the client device, from the remote desktop, via a virtual channel between the external network and the client device in the internal network, a message indicating to open the UNC path. The method generally includes opening, by the client device, via a local application of the client device, the UNC path to access the resource located in the internal network.

  • Patent number: 11558715
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting a signal propagation type. The method comprises: calculating a similarity value of a currently received pulse response and a reference pulse response when a certain positioning base station of a UWB positioning system currently receives a pulse response from a certain positioning tag, the similarity value indicating the degree of similarity between the currently received pulse response and the reference pulse response, wherein the reference pulse response is a pulse response previously received by the positioning base station from the positioning tag; and determining the current type of signal propagation between the positioning base station and the positioning tag on the basis of the similarity value. The method and apparatus can detect the type of signal propagation between the positioning base station and positioning tag of the UWB positioning system.
