20080212471 | Data Transmission - Audio-visual data is provided to a network-connected terminal. First audio-visual data containing first information encoded at a first data rate and second audio-visual data containing first information encoded at a second data rate that is more than the first data rate are received. The first audio-visual data is provided to the network-connected terminal. A condition is identified to the effect that the amount of data being sent to the terminal is less than the available bandwidth. The difference between the data rates of the first and second audio-visual data is calculated, additional data packets are sent to the terminal to determine whether the available bandwidth is large enough to provide the first audio-visual data to the terminal; and if it is determined that the available bandwidth is large enough, provision of the first audio-visual data to the terminal is stopped and the second audio-visual data is provided instead. | 09-04-2008 |

20100261161 | Method for determining the specific growth rate of a distinct cell population within a non-homogeneous system - The present invention provides a method for measuring the specific rate of ribosome synthesis for a distinct cell population, such as a distinct microbial population. For an actively growing (or non-growing) culture, the specific rate of ribosome synthesis is identical to the specific growth rate of the culture. With the method of the invention, researchers will be able to measure the specific growth rate of distinct cell populations in mixed cultures, such as biological reactor systems or environmental samples. In addition, the method of the invention provides the ability to identify members of a distinct cell population that are rapidly growing. | 10-14-2010 |
20110151455 | Fish-ribosyn for antibiotic susceptibility testing - The subject invention concerns materials and methods for evaluating the susceptibility of bacterial cells to an antibiotic or other antimicrobial compound or agent. In one embodiment, a sample comprising a microbial population is exposed to an antibiotic of interest. The sample is then processed using FISH-RiboSyn methods to determine the specific growth rate of the antibiotic-exposed microbes as compared to an untreated control. The subject invention also concerns materials and methods for determining the most suitable and/or effective antibacterial treatment for a person or animal having a bacterial infection. | 06-23-2011 |
20110212443 | Method for determining the specific growth rate of distinct microbial populations in a non-homogeneous system - The present invention pertains to a molecular biology-based method and kit for measuring the specific growth rate (or cell doubling time) of distinct microbial populations. The method and kit can be used to analyze mixed culture samples that have been exposed to chloramphenicol or other protein synthesis inhibitors for defined times. In a preferred embodiment, the method of the invention (also referred to herein as FISH-RiboSyn) is an in situ method that utilizes fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with probes that target: (1) the 5′ or 3′ end of precursor 16S rRNA; or (2) the interior region of both precursor 16S rRNA and mature 16S rRNA. Images can be captured for a defined exposure time and the average fluorescent intensity for individual cells can be determined. The rate of increase of the whole cell fluorescent intensity is used to determine the specific growth rate. The method of the invention can be attractive for rapidly measuring the specific growth rate (or cell doubling time) of distinct microbial populations within a mixed culture in industries such as environmental systems (water and wastewater treatment systems), bioremediation (optimization of conditions for microbial growth), public health (identification of rapidly growing infectious microbes), and homeland security (identification of rapidly growing bioterrorism agents). | 09-01-2011 |

20120124651 | SECURE AND EFFICIENT AUTHENTICATION USING PLUG-IN HARDWARE COMPATIBLE WITH DESKTOPS, LAPTOPS AND/OR SMART MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICES SUCH AS IPHONES - A portable apparatus is removably and communicatively connectable to a network device to communicate authentication or authorization credentials of a user in connection with the user logging into or entering into a transaction with a network site. The apparatus includes a communications port to connect and disconnect the apparatus to and from the network device and to establish a communication link with the network device when connected thereto. A processor receives a secure message from the network security server via the port. The message has a PIN for authenticating the user to the network site, and is readable only by the apparatus. The processor either transfers, via the port, the received PIN to an application associated with the network site that is executing on the network device or causes the apparatus to display the received PIN for manual transfer to the application associated with the network site. | 05-17-2012 |
20130333006 | ENTERPRISE TRIGGERED 2CHK ASSOCIATION - A method of operating a security server to securely transact business between a user and an enterprise via a network includes receiving, at the security server from an enterprise with which the user is currently connected via the network, a request of the enterprise to activate a secure communications channel over the network between the user and the security server. The request includes contact information for contacting the user via other than the network. The security server, in response, transmits an activation code for delivery to the user via other than the network and in a manner corresponding to the received contact information. The security server receives, from the user via the network, an activation code and compares the received activation code with the transmitted activation code to validate the received activation code. The secure communications channel is then activated based on the validation of the received activation code. | 12-12-2013 |
20130333008 | ENHANCED 2CHK AUTHENTICATION SECURITY WITH QUERY TRANSACTIONS - A security server receives a request of a user to activate a secure communications channel over the network and, in response, transmits an activation code for delivery to the user via another network. The security server receives an activation code from the user network device via the network, compares the received activation code with the transmitted activation code to validate the received activation code, and activates the secure communications channel based on the validation. The security server next receives a query including a question for the user from an enterprise represented on the network, transmits the received enterprise query to the user network device via the secure communications channel, and receives, from the user network device via the secure communications channel, a user answer to the transmitted enterprise query. The security server then transmits the received user answer to the enterprise to further authenticate the user to the enterprise. | 12-12-2013 |
