Abstract: Methods and systems for isolating a high purity starch stream are provided. The methods provide an initial treatment step in advance of traditional grinding or fractionation operations (such as dry milling or wet milling operations) that facilitate separation of starch from other components of starch-based grains, for example facilitate separation of soft endosperm from other components of corn kernels including hard endosperm. The systems include a first treatment system for separating a high purity starch stream from other components of the grain stream, wherein the system can be configured as a bolt on for traditional milling operations such as wet milling and dry milling operations.

Abstract: A system for auditing authorized key files associated with secure shell (SSH) servers is disclosed. In an example, the system may include a purpose-built SSH audit server. The SSH audit server may be configured to receive an authorized key file and a list of users. The SSH audit sever may generate and provide unique registration codes for each of the users in the list. The SSH audit server may associate particular users with particular public keys as each of the users accesses the SSH audit server using a public key and inputs a registration code.

Abstract: A method for making a coating composition by mixing one or more latex polymers and an aliphatic epoxy resin system having an epoxy equivalent weight less than 1000 and being distinct from the one or more latex polymers to provide an aqueous first component, and providing a second component having reactive groups that can react with the one or more epoxy resins. A mixture of the first and second components provides a film-forming curable coating composition that may be used on substrates including cement, cement fiberboard, wood, metal, plastic, ceramic, glass and composites.
