Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for encoding a video stream which comprise encoding a plurality of frames of video acquired from different points of view, generating statistical values for the frames of video determined from values of pixels of the frames, generating, for each of the plurality of frames, a perceptual hash value based on statistical values of the frame and encoding a current frame comprising video acquired from a corresponding one of the different points of view using a previously encoded reference frame based on a similarity of perceptual hashes of the current frame and the previously encoded reference frame.

Abstract: An example method includes detecting, using sensors, packets throughout a datacenter. The sensors can then send packet logs to various collectors which can then identify and summarize data flows in the datacenter. The collectors can then send flow logs to an analytics module which can identify the status of the datacenter and detect an attack.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the treatment of a disease or disorder are disclosed.

Abstract: Certain embodiments are direct to a vaccine composition comprising an immunizing amount of an Ehrlichia sonicate, wherein the Ehrlichia sonicate elicits a protective physiologic response. In certain aspects the Ehrlichia is one or more of E. canis, E. chaffeensis, E. muris, E. ruminantium, E. ewingii, and E. ovis.

Abstract: Conventional dishes and plates do not induce adhesion of non-adherent eukaryotic cells and microorganisms. When animal/human cells are cultured in a Petri dish the adherent cells attach to the bottom of the dish, whereas the non-adherent cells float in the growing medium. Less than 50% of the microorganisms are culturable using conventional techniques. Currently there are no specialized dishes for culturing non-adherent cells or microorganisms. A method to induce adhesion of non-adherent eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells involves use of engravings on plastic or metal surfaces (Biosimulator). The engravings also induce proliferation of microorganisms. The non-adherent cells and microorganisms show polarity when cultured in the engraved plate. The polarity/pattern formation could be reversed with inhibitors specific for adhesion proteins.

Abstract: It is not understood what causes or influences pattern formation in cells during the development of an organism. When animal/human cells are cultured in a Petri dish the adherent cells attach to the bottom of the dish, whereas the non-adherent cells float in the growing medium. Currently there are no specialized dishes for culturing non-adherent cells. We now show that non-adherent cells could be induced to form distinct patterns when cultured in an etched plastic dish (Biosimulator). The non-adherent cells showed polarity when cultured in the etched plate. The polarity/pattern formation could be reversed with inhibitors specific for adhesion proteins. The phenomenon of pattern formation by non-adherent cells has wide applications in cell and developmental biology, diagnostics, microbiome research, biofluidics, drug discovery, industrial production of biological products, and also in biotechnology and bioengineering.

Abstract: The present invention provides an isolated and purified heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) peptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. The instant invention is also directed to a vaccine against Ehrlichia comprising a peptide homologous to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. The instant invention is also directed to an antibody directed against a peptide homologous to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. The instant invention is also directed to a method of determining whether a subject is infected with Ehrlichia, comprising the steps of: contacting a sample from a subject with the antibody described herein; and detecting a resulting antibody reaction, wherein a positive reaction indicates the subject is infected with Ehrlichia.
