Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for implementing a single whitelisted ingress endpoint on both one-way and two-way Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections and performing load balancing. Both two-way TLS agent-based traffic and one-way TLS non-agent-based traffic is routed through a single whitelisted internet protocol (IP) endpoint. A TLS connection is transmitted from a network load balancer and to a platform gateway service that operates as a Server Name Indication (SNI) reverse proxy server. The platform gateway service separates out the one-way TLS non-agent-based traffic that is part of the TLS connection based on a TLS header of the TLS connection. The one-way TLS non-agent-based traffic is then selectively terminated on an elastic load balancer.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for stitching dual-camera images. The method includes collecting two images having overlapping photographic content; extracting and matching feature points of the two images; roughly aligning the two images by using a homography matrix; and accurately aligning the two images by using a least squares method to complete stitching the two images. Further disclosed is an apparatus corresponding to the method.

Abstract: Provided are an RNA library construction method and a specialized kit thereof. The method for preparing an RNA library includes the following steps: extracting RNA and performing fragmentation; adding a tail to 3? end; ligating an adaptor to 5? end and hybridizing with a DNA probe mixture; the DNA probe mixture is composed of several DNA probes that are reverse complementary to an RNA that is expected to be removed; removing RNA from the hybrid and removing DNA; performing reverse transcription and PCR amplification to obtain a library solution. The present invention combines polyA tailing and 5?end ligation. The RNA content in the system can be quickly increased by polyA tailing, thereby avoiding subsequent purification losses.
