20110059863 | IN VIVO EVOLUTION OF HYDROGENASES USING A HYDROGEN-SENSING SYSTEM - Provided herein are methods for measuring H2 production by a hydrogenase. Also provided are methods for evolving a hydrogenase or hydrogen-sensing system by comparing the level of production of H2 by the hydrogenase to the level Of H2 produced by a wild-type hydrogenase cultured under the same conditions and selecting a microorganism with increased H2 production over the H2 production by a microorganism having a wild-type hydrogenase. Further provided herein are microorganisms and plasmids comprising a hupSL promoter coupled with a reporter gene. | 03-10-2011 |

20100275010 | Method of Authentication of Users in Data Processing Systems - A method of authentication of users in a data processing system is provided. The method includes a “Challenge” univocally associated with a user to be authenticated; processing the “Challenge” to generate an expected answer code, to be compared with an answer code that the user has to provide for authentication; encoding the generated “Challenge” for obtaining an image displayable through a display device; sending the image containing the “Challenge” to the user; displaying the image containing the “Challenge”; through a user device provided with an image-capturing device, optically capturing the displayed image; through the user device, processing the captured image for extracting from the captured image the “Challenge”, and subsequently processing the obtained “Challenge” for generating the answer code; receiving the answer code from the user and comparing it to the expected answer code; and, in case of positive comparison, authenticating the user. One among the actions of generating a “Challenge” and an expected answer code, and the action of processing the captured image that generates the answer code exploit secret information univocally associated with the user. | 10-28-2010 |
