  • Publication number: 20240086569
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for identifying unauthorized use of a user's authentication credentials to an electronic network based on non-public data access. The present invention is configured to receive a verified access attempt at a first time for a user account; receive an unverified access attempt at a second time for the user account; determine the unverified access attempt is a credential sharing event for the user account; determine the user account is an internal account; determine an unverified user associated with the unverified access attempt is an external user; receive unverified account access logs associated with the unverified access attempt, the unverified account access logs comprising access to non-public data; and generate an unverified data access interface component to configure a graphical user interface of a device associated with a manager of the system.

  • Publication number: 20240089256
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for verifying authentication credentials in an electronic network. The present invention is configured to receive a first IP address associated with a first access attempt; determine a first geolocation data based on the first IP address; receive a second IP address associated with a second access attempt; determine a second geolocation data based on the second IP address; determine a geolocation variance between the first and the second geolocation data; determine, based on the geolocation variance, an indication of potential movement between the access attempts; apply, based on the indication of potential movement, a verification machine learning model to the account identifier; generate, by the verification machine learning model, a privacy score; and generate, based on the privacy score, an alert user interface component to configure a GUI of a device associated with the user of the account.

  • Patent number: 11846936
    Abstract: A method for automatically collecting and analyzing data from a plurality of industrial equipment includes automatically establishing communication between sensor nodes of the plurality of equipment and a walk-in device in response to the walk-in device entering a data collection area in a facility associated with the plurality of electrical equipment. The method also includes determining if the walk-in device is an authorized device to collect data from the plurality of industrial equipment and, in response to determining the walk-in device is an authorized device, automatically collecting select data from the plurality of industrial equipment on the walk-in device. The collected data is processed and one or more actions are performed based on the collected data.

  • Patent number: 11818002
    Abstract: A wireless sensor preferably has a case which is intrinsically safe and has no exposed parts which can become not intrinsically safe due to the passage of time or through contact with chemicals typically encountered in a location where the wireless sensor is used. It preferably has no integral visual display other than lights, and it preferably includes at least one signal light. The sensor preferably includes a wireless transceiver for allowing remote read and remote control of the sensor. The sensor preferably includes piezoelectric pressure detectors for allowing a user to locally interact with the sensor by pressing on the case. Data can be automatically harvested from the sensors by a portable electronic data-retrieving device which is usually geographically remote from the sensors when the portable electronic data-retrieving device and the sensors are in range of a wireless system which allows them to communicate when they are geographically proximate each other.

  • Patent number: 11376617
    Abstract: A spray device includes a bottle portion, a sleeve, and an engine. The engine includes a spring that when compressed pressurizes a chamber containing a dispensable amount of fluid from the bottle portion. The sleeve and the engine are configured to be torquable onto the bottle without compressing the spring. Rotation of the sleeve relative to the bottle by a user pressurizes a chamber containing fluid from the bottle. Auditory and/or tactile feedback is provided to the user during rotation of the sleeve thereby allowing the user to select an amount of the fluid to be dispensed. The engine includes a main spring that when compressed pressurizes a chamber containing a dispensable amount of fluid from the bottle. The spring is enclosed between a cup and a cap, which have been fused together.

  • Patent number: 9357006
    Abstract: A mobile application platform enables a user of a mobile device to manage Personalized Offline Web Applications (POW Apps) on a variety of devices. A Virtual Directory (VD) technology that is multi-source capable permits the POW code and content to be variably localized (Developer/User controls POW content/code stored on the user's device). The end user enters login information into a mobile application that is using the engine of the mobile application platform and receives POW code and content individually configured to the end user. A content manager or publisher controls what aspects of the POW application are stored locally and what aspects are kept on the server. When content is requested that is not stored locally, the content is either downloaded and opened locally or accessed on the web server like in the case of a streaming video or audio. After viewing any portion of the video or audio file, the user can decide to download the entire video or audio for offline use.
