Peptide-based compounds containing four invariant cysteine residues which have been optionally oxidized to contain two intramolecular disulfide bonds, or modified forms where the cysteines are replaced are useful as preservatives and in preventing, treating, or ameliorating viral or microbial infection in animals and plants, and in inactivating endotoxin.
Using Camera Signatures From Uploaded Images To Authenticate Users Of An Online System

Facebook, Inc. - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382100
Abstract:
Users of an online system are authenticated based on signatures of cameras that were used to capture images uploaded to the online system. Users of an online system upload photos taken from their cameras. The online system extracts characteristic information about the camera that captured the photos. This information includes a mapping of faulty pixels, metadata included with the photos, a naming convention, and the like. The online system stores an association between the user and the camera. This association is used for authentication of the user. For authentication, the user is asked to upload new photos taken from the camera that the user used previously. The information extracted from the newly uploaded photos is matched against stored information of cameras used previously by the user. The user is successfully authenticated if the camera used for the newly uploaded photos matches a previously stored camera.
Associating Cameras With Users Of A Social Networking System

International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382100
Abstract:
Images uploaded by users of a social networking system are analyzed to determine signatures of cameras used to capture the images. A camera signature comprises features extracted from images that characterize the camera used for capturing the image, for example, faulty pixel positions in the camera and metadata available in files storing the images. Associations between users and cameras are inferred based on actions relating users with the cameras, for example, users uploading images, users being tagged in images captured with a camera, and the like. Associations between users of the social networking system related via cameras are inferred. These associations are used beneficially for the social networking system, for example, for recommending potential connections to a user, recommending events and groups to users, identifying multiple user accounts created by the same user, detecting fraudulent accounts, and determining affinity between users.

The present invention is directed to methods, assays and compositions for implementing such methods and assays for assessing efficacy of individual components in multi-component vaccines and for assessing efficacy of a vaccine against a pathogen. In one aspect, the method of assessing efficacy of a vaccine against a pathogen is a quick assay that tests for an activity correlated with efficacy such as binding in an ELISA rather than requiring the time and expense of an assay that detects actual bactericidal activity. In another aspect, the method for testing the efficacy of an individual component in a multi-component vaccine includes obtaining an immune sample from a subject inoculated with the multi-component vaccine; blocking the portion of the immune sample that recognizes the individual component such as by addition of the individual component, and testing the efficacy of the immune sample to respond to the pathogen.

AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P. - Atlanta GA AT&T MOBILITY II LLC - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
H04W 64/00
US Classification:
4554561
Abstract:
Determining levels of geographic redundancy among radios of a wireless radio network is described. The level of geographic redundancy for a radio can affect the determination of location information for a user equipment (UE) on the wireless radio network. The disclosed subject matter can be employed in conjunction with timed fingerprint location (TFL) technologies to facilitate selection of radios employed in determining time values for TFL location determination. Levels of geographic redundancy can be employed to rank or order radios of a wireless radio network so as to reduce the likelihood of using geographically redundant radios in location determination. Further, rules can be selected to adjust threshold values and equations employed in determining the levels of geographic redundancy. Moreover, rules can be selected to apply boundary conditions to reduce the number of determinations formed for a set of radios of the wireless radio network.
