Abstract: A method for shuffle-less reclustering of clustered tables includes receiving a first and second group of clustered data blocks sorted by a clustering key value. A range of clustering key values of one or more the data blocks in the second group overlaps with the range of clustering key values of a data block in the first group. The method also includes generating split points for partitioning the first and second groups of clustered data blocks into a third group. The method also includes partitioning using the split points, the first and second groups into the third group. Each data block in the third group includes a range of clustering key values that do not overlap with any other data block in the third group. Each split point defines an upper limit or lower limit for the range of clustering key values a data block in the third group.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to alphanumeric codes that can be used to display and retrieve information. Specifically disclosed herein is a method that includes displaying a visual display that has (i) a four-character alphanumeric code, where the first and third characters are alphabetical letters and the second and fourth characters are numerical digits, and (ii) one or more products or services associated with the code, generating, by at least one processor, a graphical user interface (GUI) that prompts a user to enter the code, transmitting, by the at least one processor, the GUI to the user, receiving, by the at least one processor, the code, retrieving, by the at least one processor, information from a database relating to the one or more products or services, and transmitting, by the at least one processor, the information to the user.

Abstract: The present invention includes a drone system and kit with a modular hold. The drone, or its hold, can low-mount antennae such that the drone system lands on the antennae (or booms dimensioned to be similar thereto). Because the holds are dimensionally similar, multiple holds can be prepared, each with their own specific electronic payload, for a quick change that results in efficient utilization of proceeds.

Abstract: A method for increasing validity of digital signatures comprising: receiving a request from a browser to have a user apply a digital signature to a document; verifying that the document complies with a predefined ruleset (e.g., prescribing font colors); presenting the user with the document on a user-computer interface in such a way that the document's entire content is completely reviewable by the user only if the document complies with the predefined ruleset; upon receiving instruction from the user to sign the document, generating a digital signature according to Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) public key infrastructure (PKI) that protects the document in its entirety, as presented to the user in the previous step; enabling the user to perform one or more of printing, sharing, and saving the digitally-signed document in a memory store; and sending the digitally-signed document with the newly-generated signature to the browser.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media are disclosed for detecting vulnerabilities in real-time during execution of a process or an application. In one example, a device may have one or more memories storing computer-readable instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to obtain real-time process information associated with a process executing in an endpoint. The device can then determine package information for a package associated with the process based on the process information. The device can then identify at least one vulnerability associated with the package information using a database of vulnerabilities stored on a backend component of the network. The backend component may have a database of vulnerabilities for packages.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media for discovering policy scopes within an enterprise network and managing network policies for discovered policy scopes. In one aspect, a method includes identifying one or more communities of devices in an enterprise network; defining, from the one or more communities of devices, policy scopes in the enterprise network; generating a hierarchical representation of the policy scopes; identifying, based on the hierarchical representation of the policy scopes, one or more policies governing traffic flow between devices associated with each of the policy scopes; and managing application of the one or more policies at the devices.

Abstract: A method for producing a metal bladed element of a turbine engine, in particular of an aircraft, includes steps of producing the bladed element, depositing a coating made of wear-proof material on at least one portion of the bladed element and verifying, preferably visually, the conformity of the bladed element. Verifying the conformity of the bladed element includes implementing a verification element on the bladed element. The bladed element is configured according to a conformity threshold value to conceal a non-conformity of the coating, if the non-conformity has at least one dimension less than the threshold value, and to show at least one portion of this non-conformity if the at least one dimension is greater than the threshold value.

Abstract: Techniques to facilitate protection of web application components are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a plurality of web resources associated with a web applications is received. The plurality of web resources is processed to generate individual generalized code templates for each of the web resources by removing data constants and code formatting elements from the web resources. A set of the individual generalized code templates for each of the web resources is stored in a probabilistic data structure. A security web module comprising the probabilistic data structure having the set of the individual generalized code templates for each of the web resources stored therein is deployed to protect the web application.
