Title: Geological source-to-sink analysis and display system
Inventor: Benjamin Stephen Saunders
IPC: G06F30/00
Filed: 2018-03-19
Abstract: Analysis and display of source-to-sink information according to some aspects includes grouping target geochronological data and reference geochronological data into distinct population groups representing a reference population and target populations and characterizing subpopulations within the reference population and the target populations according a statistical attribute or statistical attributes. Subpopulations are compared within the reference population and the target populations based on the statistical attribute or attributes to determine correlations between the reference population and the target populations, and the results can be displayed in many different ways. As one example, results can be displayed using a present day geographic map as well as using a geodynamic plate tectonic model to show data points and their paleogeographic locations for the relevant geological time frame of investigation.

Title: A SIM fraud detection method and apparatus
Inventor: NICOLA PERO
IPC: H04W12/73
Filed: 2021-07-23
Abstract: A SIM fraud detection system stores a current list of monitored MSISDNs and maintains a set of historical check records by performing background checks by querying a mobile network probe to determine the IMSI and MCC/MNC associated with each monitored MSISDN at a point in time and including in historical check records stability flags that describe the relationship of the current record with others for the same MSISDN. The stability data provides an indication of legitimacy of an IMSI change. In real time, the system responds to on-demand checks by estimating the probability that a monitored MSISDN has been fraudulently associated with a mobile device by querying for a current IMSI, MCC and MNC for the MSISDN, using the information in the set of historical check records, including the frequency of similar checks that were or were not followed by a period of IMSI stability, to generate a probability of fraud, and adding an historical check record recording the on-demand check.

Title: Methods and compositions for editing nucleotide sequences
Inventor: DAVID R LIU
IPC: C12N15/11
Filed: 2020-03-19
Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for conducting prime editing of a target DNA molecule (e.g., a genome) that enables the incorporation of a nucleotide change and/or targeted mutagenesis. The nucleotide change can include a single- nucleotide change (e.g., any transition or any transversion), an insertion of one or more nucleotides, or a deletion of one or more nucleotides. More in particular, the disclosure provides fusion proteins comprising nucleic acid programmable DNA binding proteins (napDNAbp) and a polymerase (e.g., reverse transcriptase), which is guided to a specific DNA sequence by a modified guide RNA, named an PEgRNA. The PEgRNA has been altered (relative to a standard guide RNA) to comprise an extended portion that provides a DNA synthesis template sequence which encodes a single strand DNA flap, which is homologous to a strand of the targeted endogenous DNA sequence to be edited, but which contains the desired one or more nucleotide changes and which, following synthesis by the polymerase (e.g., reverse transcriptase), becomes incoporated into the target DNA molecule. Also disclosed herein are various methods that leverage prime editing, including treating trinucleotide repeat contraction diseases, installing targeted peptide tags, treating prion disease through the intallation of protection mutations, manipulating RNA-encoding genes for the installation of RNA tags for controlling the function and expression of RNA, using prime editing to construct sophisticated gene libraries, using prime editing to insert immunoepitopes into proteins, use of prime editing to insert inducible dimerization domains into protein targets, and delivery methods, among others.
