Patent number: 11973776Abstract: An enterprise-wise means for determining monitoring requirements for technology resources, such as, software, hardware, firmware, network or the like and implementing the monitoring. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is implemented to determine monitoring requirements based on characteristics of the technology resource that is to be monitored. In this regard, the characteristics of the technology resource serve to define the problem(s), such as cyber threats and/or performance issues that the technology resource currently faces or will face in the future. By determining the monitoring requirements based on the technology resource's characteristics, including the technological environment, the invention serves to describe what needs to be monitored in terms of the problems that the technology resource currently faces or will face.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: John Howard Kling, Charles Edward Dudley

Patent number: 11941379Abstract: A system performs static program analysis with artifact reuse. The system identifies artifacts associated with the software program being analyzed. The system processes the identified artifacts for performing static program analysis and transmits either the artifacts or identifiers for the artifacts to a second processing device for performing program analysis. The second processing device receives the artifacts and uses the received identifiers to retrieve the artifacts from a networked storage system. The second device also retrieves stored summaries of previous program analysis from the networked storage system. The program analysis uses the retrieved artifacts to generate work units for static program analysis. The analysis is performed only for those work units that are determined to remain unchanged from previous static program analysis cycles.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Synopsys, Inc.Inventors: Marc-André Laverdière-Papineau, Kenneth Robert Block, Nebojsa Bozovic, Simon Fredrick Vicente Goldsmith, Charles-Henri Marie Jacques Gros, Thomas Henry Hildebrandt, Thierry M.

Publication number: 20240094889Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are provided for automatically generating an application overflow tool that is dynamically updated and arranged to provide improved access to popular or recently used applications. These systems and methods improve existing technologies by generating an overflow panel different from a task bar, such that the overflow panel provides access to most recently used applications that are not on the task bar. As such, ease of access to applications is improved to increase user efficiency. These systems also improve the way computers operate by leveraging existing GUI layouts to reduce computing resource consumption, such as memory, network latency, I/O, and the like, that would otherwise be required improve access to applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Charles Edward TAYLOR, Jr., Peter E.
