International Classification:

C12Q001/28

US Classification:

435/028000

Abstract:

An enzymatic assay for chlorite, chlorate and perchlorate determination based on horseradish peroxidase, chlorate reductase, or nitrate reductase and a reacting dye was developed. The assay is quick and simple requiring less than 30 min; is cheap costing less than $0.05 per sample; uses standard laboratory equipment; is sensitive to a lower limit of 0.4 micromolar and linear up to 6.0 millimolar; is highly reproducible and interference free. The application of this assay to chlorite analysis in treated water will significantly reduce one of the major costs associated with the use of chlorine dioxide as a disinfectant and improve the drinking water quality.

International Classification:

C02F 11/02

US Classification:

204665, 204666

Abstract:

The present invention provides a system for remediation of a xenobiotic in a liquid. The system comprises: a first chamber having a first port and a second port, a first electrode in the first chamber, a second electrode is in electrical communication with the first electrode and with a voltage source, wherein the first electrode is an anode and the second electrode is a cathode or the first electrode is a cathode and the second electrode is an anode. The system uses an electric current to provide an electron acceptor or electron donor for a microorganism capable of remediating the xenobiotic.

Abstract:

The present invention relates to methods, compositions and systems for detecting perchlorate in a sample. Compositions useful for detecting perchlorate in a sample include those comprising a perchlorate reductase, a reductant and an electron shuttle. In an exemplary embodiment, the composition comprises perchlorate reductase from , reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and N-methylphenazinium methylsulfate. The present invention also provides for methods of using the compositions disclosed herein, as well as systems thereof. In some exemplary embodiments, the methods comprise a concentration step, in which, for example, the sample is contacted with a cationic solid phase extraction column. Employing this step provides certain advantages such as a lowered detection limit and the removal of contaminants.

Abstract:

A metric value is determined for each event in a set of events that characterizes a computational communication or object. For example, a metric value could include a length of a URL or agent string in the event. A subset criterion is generated, such that metric values within the subset are relatively separated from a population's center (e.g., within a distribution tail). Application of the criterion to metric values produces a subset. A representation of the subset is presented in an interactive dashboard. The representation can include unique values in the subset and counts of corresponding event occurrences. Clients can select particular elements in the representation to cause more detail to be presented with respect to individual events corresponding to specific values in the subset. Thus, clients can use their knowledge system operations and observance of value frequencies and underlying events to identify anomalous metric values and potential security threats.

International Classification:

G06F 16/25

Abstract:

A field extraction template simplifies the creation of field extraction rules by providing a user with a set of field names commonly assigned to a certain type of data, as well as guidance on how to extract values for those fields. These field extraction rules, in turn, facilitate access to certain “chunks” of the data, or to information derived from those chunks, through named fields. A field extraction template comprises at least a set of field names and ordering data for the field names. The ordering data indicates index positions that are associated with at least some of the field names. A delimiter is specified for splitting data items into arrays of chunks. The chunk of a data item that belongs to a given field name is the chunk whose position within the item's array of chunks is equivalent to the index position associated with the given field name.
