  • Publication number: 20180183829
    Abstract: Improved RDAP systems, RDAP services, and RDAP methods identify users and clients and keep track of their RDAP activities. The RDAP systems, services, and methods analyze the activities of a user (or a client) and detect or determine whether or not the user is engaging in undesirable, malicious, or otherwise abnormal activities. If so, the RDAP systems, services, and methods take action to reduce, eliminate, or otherwise mitigate the undesirable, malicious, or abnormal activities of the user.

  • Publication number: 20170255982
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems and methods for allowing a single representation of a trigger for payment across different environments using machine readable codes. A machine readable code may be encoded with a URL and information about a product to which the machine readable code is attached. A first electronic device may be able to scan and decode the machine readable code into first recognizable product information using a complaint application. The compliant application may populate a first form on the first electronic device for a first transaction with the recognizable product information without having to access a server. A non-compliant application on a second electronic device will launch a browser using the URL and provide the unrecognizable product information to the server for decoding. The server will decode the unrecognizable product information into a second recognizable product information that may be used to populate a second form for a second transaction.

  • Patent number: 9705893
    Abstract: Methods and systems for verifying whether a submission of a request is likely from a human user or an automated program are described. A request may be received from a user device. A human challenge-response test adapted for displaying on the user device is displayed on the user device. Upon viewing the human challenge-response test, the user enters the user's solution to the human challenge-response test on the user device. A response hash value is created based on the user's solution. The response hash value is sent to a computing device for verification.

  • Publication number: 20160304104
    Abstract: A system for inspecting railroad rail using phased array ultrasonic technology measures the time of flight of ultrasonic signals at locations across the rail head to determine the wear profile of the rail. The rail wear profile is then used to adjust the focal laws of the phased array ultrasonic probes to dynamically compensate for changes in the rail profile as the inspection vehicle moves along the rails.

  • Publication number: 20160305915
    Abstract: A system for inspecting railroad rail using phased array ultrasonic technology includes both high-speed and high-resolution inspection modes that obviate the need for an operator to dismount the truck to perform detail inspection. In high-speed inspection mode, the phased array probes operate at fixed angles with respect to the rail to identify potential rail defects as the vehicle moves along the track. The vehicle can then return to the location of a potential rail defect and switch to a high-resolution inspection mode in which the phased array probes sweep over a range of beam angles at the location of a potential rail defect.

  • Patent number: 9325725
    Abstract: Network traffic is monitored to detect attempted inter-network communications, including attempts by devices internal to the network to communicate with resources external to the network and attempts by devices external to the network to establish VPN sessions with resources internal to the network. Upon detecting an attempted inter-network communication, the device responsible for initiating such communication is identified. Then, it is determined whether the identified device is running a valid protection agent. If so, the attempted inter-network communication is permitted. If not, the attempted inter-network communication is blocked in compliance with a network security policy and the identified device is prompted to download and install a protection agent from a designated storage location, or to activate a previously installed protection device. The prompt may include a hyperlink for initiating download of the protection agent.
