  • Patent number: 11381592
    Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for automatic collection, analysis and reporting of data relating to a cybersecurity threat. The method may comprise the steps of: presenting an interface through which an executable can be configured and automatically generated; transmitting the executable to a client to enable the client to execute the executable on client systems to automatically collect forensic data; receiving from the client an encrypted data package that includes the forensic data; using a forensic toolset to automatically analyze the forensic data; presenting an option to select one or more of at least two types of output reports designed for different types of readers; inputting the analysis files into an automatic report generator to automatically generate the types of output reports selected by the client; and sending the output reports selected by the client to the client.

  • Patent number: 11379945
    Abstract: In a graphics processing unit (GPU), receiving an input image comprising an array of pixels. Each pixel having a gray scale value from a range of N grayscale values. For each particular input patch of pixels of a set of input patches partitioning the input image and in parallel for each particular grayscale value the range, counting the number of pixels in the particular input patch having the particular grayscale value. In parallel for each particular input patch of pixels of a set of input patches partitioning the input image, creating an output image patch as an ordered sequence of N pixels, with the color value of the nth pixel in each corresponding output patch representing the count of pixels in the particular input patch having the nth grayscale value. Combining the output image patches into a single composite output image of N pixels, the pixel value of the nth pixel in the single composite output image corresponding to the count of pixels in the input image having the nth grayscale value.

  • Publication number: 20220196292
    Abstract: A building management system (BMS) gateway comprises a BMS router and a water heater hub configured to be communicatively coupled to a plurality of water heaters. The BMS router facilitates communication of status and control data between a BMS and the water heaters connected to the water heater hub. Connecting multiple water heaters to a single BMS gateway provides simplified installation and networking requirements. For installations with more water heaters than are able to be coupled to the water heater hub, additional BMS gateways may be installed. Local controls for water heaters managed by the BMS are typically disabled or overwritten by the BMS to prevent changes to settings. A local BMS user interface (UI) is configured to connect with the BMS gateway(s) and facilitate secure access, display, and/or adjustment of water heater status and control data for the plurality of water heaters connected to the BMS gateway(s).

  • Patent number: 11327969
    Abstract: Techniques for managing database workloads using similarity measures based on queries executed are described. Classical techniques from information retrieval are applied to the domain of database workload management. Specifically, the technique of using document term vectors to compute similarity measures are applied using the conceptual mapping of SQL workloads as “documents” composed of SQL queries as “terms.” The techniques include generating two or more sets of workloads with each workload representing a set of queries executed on at least one database. Based on the sets of workloads, workload term vectors are calculated that represent the set of queries executed on the database. Then, based on the calculated workload vectors, a similarity score is generated between the two or more sets of workloads.

  • Publication number: 20220132720
    Abstract: A tillage implement has a frame connectable to a towing vehicle and at least two transverse rows of secondary tillage tools mounted on the frame, the at least two transverse rows comprising a row of main rollers mounted on the frame rearward of all other rows of the at least two transverse rows. The implement also has a transverse row of auxiliary rollers mounted rearward of the row of main rollers, the transverse row of auxiliary rollers independently pivotable vertically about a transverse pivot axis. The implement has at least one ground-engaging wheel. Independent pivoting of the row of auxiliary rollers allows an operator to increase tillage/field finish on the go or as needed.

  • Publication number: 20220120525
    Abstract: An example grip safety interlock can include a lower receiver with a trigger assembly, a safety selector having a detent channel, a grip having an internal recess, an extended detent pin having a detent point and an interference abutment surface, a grip safety lever having an interference ledge, and a lever bias spring positioned within the grip, extending between the grip and the grip safety lever. The grip safety lever can be positioned to pivot within the internal recess of the grip, and the extended detent pin can extend within the grip such that the detent point contacts the detent channel of the safety selector. The lever bias spring can push the grip safety lever to a first pivot position such that the interference ledge of the grip safety lever abuts the interference abutment surface of the extended detent pin to prevent movement and rotation of the safety selector.

  • Patent number: 11308085
    Abstract: One or more assignments (e.g., one or more maps) can be used for assigning data to processing units of a database system with multiple processing. In other words, assignments can be provided as a more effective solution for assigning data to the processing units of database systems that can operate with multiple processing units. Generally, an assignment can be used to assign data to the processing units for processing, virtually in any desired manner (e.g., virtually any desired function). By way of example, maps can associate data to containers (e.g., buckets) and associate the containers to processing units of database system with multiple processing units.
