  • Publication number: 20240106862
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for providing a virtual cloud workload protection platform. One method may include determining, by a device, whether a data stream is approved or unapproved; and transmitting, by the device, a fetch request to a renderer requesting a network resource requested by a protected client. Another method may include receiving, by a rendering device, a fetch request from a device requesting at least one network resource requested by a protected client; requesting, by the rendering device, the requested at least one requested resource; and rendering, by the rendering device, the at least one requested resource.

  • Publication number: 20230252991
    Abstract: Artificial assistant system notification techniques are described that overcome the challenges of conventional search techniques. In one example, a user profile is generated to describe aspects of products or services learned through natural language conversations between a user and an artificial assistant system. These aspects may include price as well as non-price aspects such as color, texture, material, and so forth. To learn the aspects, the artificial assistant system may leverage spoken utterances and text initiated by the user as well as learn the aspects from digital images output as part of the conversation. Once generated, the user profile is then usable by the artificial assistant system to assist in subsequent searches.

  • Publication number: 20110040219
    Abstract: An apparatus for massaging and aligning a spine is presented. The apparatus includes a base element, a pair of roller assemblies, a center roller assembly, a pair of hand bars, and a seat. The base element supports the apparatus along a surface. Each roller assembly includes an extendable arm and a plurality of rollers. The extendable arm is attached at one end to the base element so as to allow angular adjustment to the roller assembly with respect to the base element. The extendable arm is attached at a second end to the rollers so as to allow angular adjustment of the rollers with respect to the extendable arm. The center roller assembly is disposed between the roller assemblies and includes a second extendable arm and a pair of contoured rollers. The second extendable arm is attached at one end to the base element and at another end to the contoured rollers. The hand bars are attached to the second extendable arm and slide thereon so as to adjust the height of said bars.

  • Publication number: 20060293214
    Abstract: Aqueous dilutions of acidic ternary compositions having unusually synergistic antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella choleraesuis microorganisms are disclosed. The compositions encompass ternary component mixtures of an alpha-hydroxycarboxylic acid, a monohydric water soluble alkanol and an anionic tenside having a Ternary Ratio residing within a defined phase region wherein synergistic antimicrobial activity is observed; whereas mixtures outside of the defined phase region and those lacking any one of the components do not exhibit synergistic activity. Compositions, methods and articles employing the inventive ternary synergistic compositions, and their utility in sanitizing and disinfecting hard surfaces are described.
