Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for analyzing and remediating operational risks in production computing systems. A risk mitigation modeler of a server computing device receives risk input data from a plurality of data sources. The modeler selects a risk scenario to be applied to the input data from a plurality of risk scenarios. The modeler analyzes the input data using the selected risk scenario to identify one or more risks present in the input data. The modeler determines a risk remediation plan based upon the selected risk scenario if at least one of the identified risks meets or exceeds a risk tolerance associated with the selected scenario, where the remediation plan comprises instructions to change data elements based upon the identified risk. The modeler transmits the remediation plan to a target production computing system. The target system executes the risk remediation plan to remediate the identified risks.

Abstract: A systems and methods are described detect fraud in existing logs of raw data. There can be several disparate logs, each including data of disparate data types and generated by different and possibly unrelated software enterprise applications. The fraud management system aggregates and organizes the raw log data, archives the data in a manner that facilitates efficient access and processing of the data, allows for investigation of potentially fraudulent usage scenarios, and uses the results of the investigation to identify patterns of data that correspond to correspond to high risk usage scenarios and/or process steps. In subsequent processing, archived data can be compared against the identified patterns corresponding to high risk usage scenarios to detect matches, and the invention thereby automatically detects high risk usage scenarios and issues appropriate alerts and reports.

Abstract: A method for synthesizing an 18F-labeled probe. The method includes a step of eluting an amount of 18F with a first solvent which includes a predetermined amount of water and at least one organic solvent. In this step, the 18F elutes as an 18F solution. The method also includes a step of using the 18F solution to perform 18F-labeling in the presence of at least one labeling reagent and at least one phase transfer catalyst so as to generate the 18F-labeled probe. In the method, there is no step of drying the 18F starting from a time when the eluting step is performed and ending at a time when the 18F-labeling step is performed.

There can be several disparate logs, each including data of disparate data types and generated by different and possibly unrelated software enterprise applications. The fraud management system aggregates and organizes the raw log data, extends the raw data with reference data, archives the data in a manner that facilitates efficient access and processing of the data, allows for investigation of potentially fraudulent usage scenarios, and uses the results of the investigation to identify patterns of data that correspond to correspond to high risk usage scenarios and/or process steps. In subsequent processing, archived data can be compared against the identified patterns corresponding to high risk usage scenarios to detect matches, and the invention thereby automatically detects high risk usage scenarios and issues appropriate alerts and reports.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating content requests while maintaining content restrictions may include a proxy server configured to filter requested content based on specified content restrictions. The proxy server may initially retrieve the requested content from an external site using unrestricted access credentials. Upon receipt of the requested content, the proxy server may filter the content to remove and/or replace portions thereof that do not comply with content restrictions. In some arrangements, filtering parameters may be user and/or device-specific. Additionally or alternatively, the proxy server may subscribe to and/or use information streams or feeds to deliver content from requested sites to a user. By delivering information streams or feeds, the potential for user transmission of data to external sites may be reduced and/or eliminated.

Abstract: A method for generating a radiolabeled tracer. The method includes providing a phosphine molecule having at least one carbocyclic, aromatic, or pyrrolidinyl ring with an OH substitute. The OH of this phosphines molecule is then condensed with an acid to produce a phosphine ester. Staudinger ligation is then performed to generate the radiolabeled tracer by treating the phosphine ester with a radiolabeled azide having a PET radioisotope moiety.
