  • Patent number: 11954229
    Abstract: A method for identity resolution and data enrichment is performed by at least one hardware processor and includes detecting at an account of a data provider, a shared data object that is shared by an account of a data consumer with the account of the data provider. An application executing at the account of the data consumer is enabled for an identity resolution process based on the detecting of the shared data object. A request for source data received from the application is detected at the account of the data provider. The source data is managed by the account of the data provider. The source data is communicated to the application executing at the account of the data consumer, based on a verification that the application is enabled for the identity resolution process. The identity resolution process is performed at the account of the data consumer using the source data.

  • Patent number: 11948029
    Abstract: A client device collects immunization data includes a type of immunization given to an individual and a date that the immunization was provided to the individual. The client device converts immunization data into a numeric string, where the numeric string as converted comprises an encrypted payload portion and a mode indicator portion. The client device generates a two-dimensional machine-readable identifier using the numeric string. A reader device reads the two-dimensional machine-readable identifier and accesses the numeric string. The reader device converts at least a portion of the numeric string comprising the immunization data into a predetermined format for importing into an electronic health record (EHR).

  • Patent number: 11934323
    Abstract: A symmetric key that is stored at a device may be received. A public key from a remote entity may also be received at the device. Furthermore, a derived key may be generated based on a one way function between the symmetric key that is stored at the device and the public key that is received from the remote entity. The derived key may be encrypted with the public key and transmitted to the remote entity. The encryption of the derived key with the public key may provide secure transmission of the derived key to an authorized remote entity with a private key that may be used to decrypt the encrypted derived key.

  • Patent number: 11899821
    Abstract: The system obtains information to send to the first user device and converts the information into a sequence of images, where one or more images in the sequence of images include the information, and a remainder of images in the sequence include a visual unrelated to the information. The number of the one or more images and the number of the remainder of images indicate a display frequency. The number of the remainder of images is greater than the number of the one or more images. The display frequency causes an observer to form a perception of the one or more images. The system sends the sequence to the first user device and causes the first user device to present on the display screen the sequence at the display frequency, which causes a garbling of a recording of the display screen associated with the first user device.

  • Patent number: 11831773
    Abstract: A system for database restoration across service regions. The system includes data storage and backup data storage in the first region. The system includes a frontend for the database service configured to receive, from a client, a request to restore a database to the first region from backups stored in another backup data storage in a second region and to receive an authentication token for the request from the client. The system also includes a backup restore manager service for the first region configured to send, to another backup restore manager service implemented in the second region, a credential request for a second region credential authorizing retrieval of the one or more other backups from the second region. The backup restore manager service sends a backup restore request to retrieve the backups from the other backup data storage and loads the backups to restore the database in the first region.

  • Patent number: 11811796
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for calculating a vulnerability score for a malicious threat based on Indicator of Compromise (IoC) metadata retrieved from a computing device or underlying network. Further, an Indicator of Compromise (IoC) Calculation (IoC-C) system is described that may monitor a client interaction on a computing device, and further identify IoC metadata that may relate to a malicious threat. The IoC-C system may further generate a vulnerability score that numerically quantifies a risk that the malicious threat poses to the computing device or underlying network. The vulnerability score may account for environmental criteria that mitigate an effect of the malicious threat. The IoC-C system may also generate a reporting data packet that includes an informational message identifying a potential risk posed by a malicious threat, or a response protocol that dynamically prevents, mitigates or quarantines an effect of the malicious threat on a computing device or underlying network.

  • Patent number: 11797512
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to a method and apparatus for storing data for a batch of manufactured items. The method comprises defining in a processor, using a lower limit identifier and an upper limit identifier, a range of unique item identifiers for the batch, wherein each manufactured item in the batch is allocated a unique item identifier falling within the range. The item identifiers are stored in allocated storage space. If an upper limit identifier is specified for each time interval, an amount of storage specified for all manufactured items during a production time period is calculated as a sum of a first product and a second product, the first product being a product of a production time and a size allocated to each upper limit identifier, and the second product being a product of the production time, a total number of manufactured items, and a percentage of unused identifiers.
