Abstract: The present invention is directed to a cup having a sidewall with transparent and graphic areas that display at least one image in a composite form when a second identical cup is stacked within the first cup in a specific orientation. The sidewall has at least two sections, each extending vertically from an upper portion to a lower portion of the sidewall. The first section includes at least one graphic area with a corresponding transparent area positioned adjacent to and above the graphic area. The second section includes at least one graphic area. The graphic area in the first section consists of a lower part of an image and the graphic area in the second section includes an upper part of the image. The transparent area is sized and shaped to match that of the graphic area in the second section and is positioned at a higher location along the sidewall than that of the graphic area of the second section.

Abstract: In order to facilitate the entity resolution and entity activity tracking and indexing, systems and methods include receiving first source records from a first database and second source records from a record database. A candidate set of second source records is determined by a heuristic search in the set of second source records. A candidate pair feature vector associated with each candidate pair of first and second source records is generated. An entity matching machine learning model predicts matching first source records for each candidate second source record based on the respective candidate pair feature vector. An aggregate quantity associated with the matching first source records is aggregated from a quantity associated with each first source record, and a quantity index for each candidate second source record is determined based the aggregate quantities. Each quantity index is displayed to a user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for aggregating and indexing a patient operational longitudinal record and extracting statistics therefrom. In one example, a system for storing and indexing entries in a patient operational longitudinal record may include at least one memory storing instructions and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: receive a health update from an authenticated device; map the health update to a health record; apply at least one stored rule to the health update and the health record to determine additional operational data; index and store the health update and the additional operational data in association with the health record; and allow access to the health record based on an associated security protocol.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed which can provide an orchestrated response to a cybersecurity threat. This orchestrated response may be based upon, at least in part, a reputation score. Threat model(s) may be received that identify cybersecurity threat(s). An indication of observations, false positives, and/or page views for the threat may be obtained. Data feeds may be received including known good data feeds, known bad data feeds, and enrichment data feeds. The data feeds may provide information about one or more indicators of compromise (IOC). For each IOC, a weighted criticality score may be determined. The weighted criticality score may be mapped to a corresponding point value. An aggregated score may be determined based upon at least the corresponding point value. A reputation score may be computed, and in some configurations, provided to a user.

Abstract: Images related to one or more attacks to a service provider system may be analyzed to improve the security of the service provider system. Each of the images may be segmented into multiple segments. Each of the segments is analyzed independently to determine whether the segment includes obfuscated data and if so, which one of the data obfuscation techniques was used to generate the obfuscated data. Additional information regarding the obfuscated data may be derived from other segments that include unobfuscated data and from the metadata of the image. A data restoration algorithm may be configured accordingly to restore the obfuscated data. The restored data, as well as a context derived for the image, may be used to adjust one or more security parameters of the service provider system to improve the security of the service provider system.

Abstract: Methods and systems for fictitious account generation on detection of account takeover conditions are described. A login attempt may be detected and determined to indicate fraud, such as when the login attempt is accompanied by many failed login attempts or is from an untrusted or known malicious endpoint. A fictitious account may be generated, which may include falsified account data and may limit account functionality to prevent unauthorized and fraudulent use of the account. The computing device that performs the login attempt may be routed and permitted to log in to the fictitious account, where the service provider or another computing entity may then monitor activity and usage of the fictitious account by the potentially malicious party. The fictitious account may be maintained so that other actors using the account may access the account and their activity also monitored.

Abstract: Systems and methods to clamp an impeller on a shaft in a centrifugal compressor. The embodiments as disclosed herein may include clamping individual impeller independently to the shaft, which may reduce the tolerance stack-up effect of a plurality of impellers. The impeller can be clamped to the shaft by positioning, for example, a relatively stiff support (e.g. a shaft locknut) on a front side of the impeller. The impeller can also be clamped to the shaft by a relatively flexible support to compensate for e.g. thermal expansion/contraction of the impeller. The embodiments as disclosed herein are particularly suitable for a multi-stage impeller.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are concerned with a method for producing a binder resin composition, from which a toner having excellent low-temperature fusing property, heat-resistant storage stability, durability, and image density is obtained, a binder resin composition, and a toner for development of electrostatic images including the binder resin composition. Embodiments according to the present invention are concerned with the following [1] to [3].

Abstract: A thermoforming apparatus is described herein. The apparatus may include a pressure mechanism, a thermal device, a plurality of individually actuatable pins, and/or a pin actuation mechanism. The pressure mechanism may create a force against a die surface. The thermal device may change a thermal state of a material forced by the pressure mechanism against the die surface. The plurality of individually actuatable pins may form the die surface. The pin actuation mechanism may be connected to the plurality of actuatable pins and/or may actuate the pins. This apparatus improves on prior solutions in many ways. For example, embodiments of the thermoforming apparatus may require significantly less time between different molds than previous thermoforming machines and 3D printers.

Abstract: A wheel assembly for an automotive vehicle is described herein. The assembly includes a cylindrical rim, a tire around the rim, two spoke assemblies, a wheel hub, a brake assembly, and a mounting arm. The rim is symmetrical, and has a first flange on a first side of the rim and a second flange on a second side of the rim. The tire is disposed around the rim. The first spoke assembly is coupled to the first flange and has a hub-mounting structure at its center. The second spoke assembly is coupled to the second flange and has an opening at its center. The wheel hub and brake assembly are disposed inside the rim between the first and second spoke assemblies, coupled to the hub-mounting structure.
