Abstract: One or more systems, devices, computer program products and/or computer implemented methods of use provided herein relate to a process of monitoring the effect of forcible actions over a normalized feature set. A system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executed the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components can comprise an input component that can receive one or more forcible actions as input from a user that correspond to an identified anomaly instance of a cluster, an evaluation component that can evaluate an effect of the one or more forcible actions executed over time on the system, and a notification component that can notify the user that a true-positive detection threshold has been reached for a cluster such that true-positives are not detected in the cluster.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing risk assessment activities and preparing attained risk data for display on one or more user interfaces. In one implementation, a method may include the step of detecting one or more cybersecurity risk factors associated with an organization to determine a risk posture of the organization. The method may further include the step of attaining one or more remediation recommendations for enabling a person associated with the organization to select one or more actions for mitigating the one or more cybersecurity risk factors and improving the risk posture of the organization. Then, the method is configured to communicate display information to a user device associated with the organization, the display information including at least the one or more cybersecurity risk factors and the one or more remediation recommendations to be exhibited on a Graphical User Interface (GUI) of the user device.

Abstract: A system and method to store and retrieve energy includes a heat source or an energy consumer thermally connected to a fluid. The fluid is transported through a first well fluidically connected to a second well. A slot is sawed into a rock below the earth's surface and a cable and tubing connect the first well to the second well. The cable and the tubing are partially encapsulated by casing, wherein the cable stores heat. A plurality of materials is filled into the slot. A first hole is disposed beneath a first rig and surrounds the first well. A second hole is disposed beneath a second rig and surrounds the second well. The first hole and the second hole are configured to be vertical or slanted.

Abstract: An approach is provided that receives a change request from a requestor. The change request includes metadata regarding the change, one or more changes, and one or more change assumptions corresponding to at least one of the changes. The change request is stored in a data store of pending requests. One or more systems are identified that correspond to each of the change assumptions. The identified systems are automatically queried with queries that correspond to the change assumptions. Query responses in response to the querying are received from the identified systems. The validity of each of the change assumptions is determined based on the received query responses. If the change assumptions are valid, then the changes included in the change request are processed. On the other hand, if at least one of the change assumptions is invalid, then the change request is rejected.

Abstract: A method, device, and system for conducting communication over one or more communication networks. The method comprises determining a number, A, of simultaneously receivable communication paths at a receiving device; and selecting, based on A, a version of data for reception from a plurality of available versions.

Abstract: A method of conducting communication over one or more communication networks without making any change to the communication network infrastructure, the method comprising: selectively establishing L?2 communication paths between first and second devices, each communication path comprising one or more communication channels of one of the communication networks; splitting a communication data stream from the first device into at least L sub-streams; transmitting the sub-streams via the L communication paths; and combining the sub-streams for processing at the second device.

Abstract: A closure includes a plastic shell having a base wall and a skirt with at least one internal thread segment for threaded engagement with at least one external thread segment on a container neck finish. A stopper, preferably of natural or synthetic cork, is secured to the base wall within the skirt and has an outer surface for sliding fit within the inside diameter of the container neck finish. An annular seal is disposed on the base wall surrounding the stopper within the skirt for sealing engagement with an end surface of the container neck finish. The closure can readily be removed from the container neck finish by unthreading the closure shell and pulling the plug from the container neck finish. The sliding fit between the external surface of the stopper and the inside diameter of the neck finish is sufficiently tight to provide a popping sound as the closure is removed from the neck finish.

Abstract: A dispenser package for dispensing dual viscous products which are separately retained within the package and merged at a dispensing nozzle. The dispensing package comprises a container having a compressible portion and a hanger and pouch assembly of plastic material suspended in the container. The hanger has an upper portion with a pair of openings. A flexible film pouch having an opening is bonded in each opening in the hanger and has portions bonded to the hanger. The hanger has lower portions comprising of spaced flexible walls associated with each pouch. The head assembly includes a one-way valve associated with each opening in the hanger and a portion which maintains the viscous products from each of the pouches separate until they pass from a nozzle on the head assembly to the exterior when the compressible portion of the container is squeezed.

Abstract: A squeeze dispenser package comprising a container having a compressible portion and a hanger and pouch assembly of plastic material, suspended in the container. The hanger has an upper portion having an opening and a flexible film pouch having an opening is bonded to the opening in the hanger and has portions thereof bonded to the hanger. The hanger has a lower flexible portion comprising spaced flexible walls. In one form, a removable head is mounted on the container and overlies the hanger and pouch assembly. The head includes a nozzle having an opening overlying the opening in the pouch and an atmospheric valve is provided for equalizing the pressure after the compressible portion of the container has been released and the hanger and pouch assembly returns to its original position.

Abstract: A dispenser package for viscous products comprising a container, a hanger and pouch assembly of plastic material suspended in the container and a head including a pumping mechanism mounted on the container. The head includes a chamber with a first one way valve adjacent an opening in the hanger and pouch assembly and a second one way valve adjacent an outlet of the pumping mechanism.

Abstract: A dispensing package (14, 114, 214) which is made up of a reusable pumping head portion (16, 116, 216) and a body portion (18, 118, 218) to which the head portion is removably attached. The pumping action is initiated by the reciprocation of an annular, reciprocable dosing piston (30, 130, 230) which may be a part of the body portion (30, 130) or a part of the head portion (230). The reciprocation of the dosing piston is initiated by the arcuate movement of a pumping lever (40) that is carried by the head portion. The pumping lever is biased by a spring (46) to return to its original position at the conclusion of a pumping cycle. Striping can be accomplished by providing the dosing piston with a spout (32, 232') that extends downwardly therefrom, the spout having a circumferential series of spaced apart apertures (32d, 232d') extending therethrough above a lower bottom tip portion (32b, 232b') thereof.
