Abstract:
The present invention lies in developing a novel method for the preparation of oligonucleotide microarrays obviating the drawbacks to an extent, such as time consuming complex chemical reactions, preparation of modified supports/oligomer modifying reagents, use of activating/condensing reagent, low signal to noise ratio, poor immobilization and hybridization efficiencies, etc. Further, the prepared arrays can be used to detect single or multiple nucleotide mismatches using hybridization assay.
Abstract:
A unified session detail records of a multi-hop session is provided. The multi-hop session may be established through multiple nodes in a VoIP network. Each node may generate session detail records for the legs of the multi-hop session that are connected to the node. The nodes on the path of the multi-hop call may send the record to a single node to consolidate the session detail records of the legs of the multi-hop call in the single node so that the single node can provide unified session detail records of the multi-hop session. By providing unified session detail records, the user does not need to track down the nodes that are on the path of the multi-hop call to obtain the session detail records of the multi-hop session.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved, efficient and enantio-selective process for the synthesis of (4R, 6S)-4-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl tetrahydropyran-2-one, employing the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation and regiospecific nucleophilic hydride opening of the cyclic sulfite/sulfate as the key steps. The invention also resides in the intermediates used in the process.
Abstract:
A soft card provisioning application is instantiated on a device with wireless communications capabilities. A card number for a soft card desired to be provisioned on the device is obtained from a user of the device. An issuer identification number retrieved from the card number is communicated to a provisioning configuration server over an air interface. A provisioning issuer server network address is obtained from the provisioning configuration server based on the issuer identification number. Card issuer specific challenges are presented to the user, and the user's responses to the challenges are received. The challenge responses are communicated to the provisioning issuer server. Soft card image data and personalization data, where the personalization data includes personalized embossed and pre-printed data, are received from the provisioning issuer server over the air interface. The soft card is provisioned for use on the device based on the data received over the air interface.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for selecting and delivering an electronic value certificate to a mobile device are disclosed. According to one aspect, the method includes utilizing a certificate selection device to generate electronic certificate selection information and providing the electronic certificate selection information and associated recipient data to a merchant server. From the merchant server, electronic value certificate data derived from the certificate selection information is received. The method also includes establishing a communications link with a mobile device corresponding to the recipient data. The electronic value certificate data is provisioned on the mobile device over the communications link via over the air (OTA) communications.
Abstract:
According to one aspect of the subject matter described herein, a method for registering wireless smart devices for secure offline data transfer is provided. The method includes, for an application configured to execute on a wireless smart device and that requires access to information regarding an account that does not reside on the wireless smart device, register, at a server having access to the information regarding the account, a first wireless smart device has an account owner device (AOD) for operating in an online mode for obtaining the information regarding the account from the server and for operating in an offline mode for transferring the information regarding the account to at least one additional device via a secure offline data transfer using near field communications (NFC). The method further includes registering, at the server, at least one second wireless smart device as an account sharer device (ASD) for operating in an offline mode for receiving the information regarding the account from the first wireless smart device via the secure offline data transfer using NFC.

Abstract:
The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for virtual card transfer between near field communications (NFC)-enabled mobile devices. According to one aspect, a method for over-the-air (OTA) virtual card transfer between NFC-enabled mobile devices is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at an OTA provisioning server, a virtual card, from a sending mobile device, that is intended for a receiving mobile device. The virtual card is provisioned, over the air, to the receiving mobile device, where the virtual card is immediately presentable by the receiving mobile device at a point of sale terminal.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for over the air provisioning of soft cards on devices with wireless communications capabilities are disclosed. According to one method, a soft card provisioning application is instantiated on a device with wireless communications capabilities. A card number for a soft card desired to be provisioned on the device is obtained from a user of the device. The card number is communicated to a provisioning configuration server over an air interface. Card-issuer-specific challenges corresponding to the card number and a provisioning issuer server network address are obtained from the provisioning configuration server. The challenges are presented to the user, and the user's responses to the challenges are received. A connection is made to the provisioning issuer server corresponding to the network address. The challenge responses are communicated to the provisioning issuer server. Soft card personalization data for activating the soft card is received from the provisioning issuer server. The soft card is provisioned for use on the device based on the personalization data.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for dynamically controlling a PSTN network element from an IP network element using signaling are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method may include receiving a first SIP message from an IP application server. The first SIP message may identify a call event trigger associated with a subscriber to a circuit switched network. In response to receiving the first SIP message, a first SS7 message identifying the call event trigger and the subscriber may be generated and routed to a circuit switched network node. A second SS7 message may be received that indicates triggering of the call event corresponding to the trigger. A second SIP message indicating the call event may be routed to the IP application server. A third SIP message may be received that specifies a PSTN call control function.
