  • Patent number: 9977920
    Abstract: Data privacy is provided in a computer network using a security inference control processor of a network device in the computer network which receives a query from a user device through a network interface circuit. In response to the query, a query result data set is generated based on information in a database stored in a non-volatile data storage device. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) exposure risk associated with the query result data set is determined based on an evaluation of combining the query result data set with an exposure storage log that includes result data sets from past queries associated with the user. Based on the PII exposure risk, the query result data set is provided to the user, so as to refrain from providing the query result data set if the PII exposure risk is greater than a risk threshold. Related methods, devices, and computer program products are provided.

  • Patent number: 9881304
    Abstract: An API transaction risk assessment equipment is disclosed that receives an API transaction request through a data network from an application processed by a source node, and generates a risk assessment score based on context information that characterizes the API transaction request. The risk assessment score indicates a level of trustworthiness of the API transaction request for processing by an application on a destination node. The API transaction risk assessment equipment then controls deliverability of the API transaction request through the data network to the destination node for processing based on the risk assessment score. Corresponding methods by API transaction risk assessment equipment are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9851749
    Abstract: A magnetic hinge system includes a first member and a second member moveably coupled together by a hinge. The hinge includes a flexible base connected to each of the first member and the second member, and a plurality of magnetic elements extending from the flexible base. The magnetic elements are configured to be moved into first relative positions that result in the magnetic forces between the magnetic elements holding the magnetic elements in a first stable orientation to provide the first member and the second member in a first configuration. The magnetic elements are also configured to be moved into second relative positions that result in the magnetic forces between the magnetic elements holding the magnetic elements in a second stable orientation to provide the first member and the second member in a second configuration that is different than the first configuration.

  • Publication number: 20170004740
    Abstract: A self-laminating rotating cable marker label is constructed of a transparent film having a first adhesive area, an adhesive-free smooth area, and a second adhesive area. A print-on area forms one side of the transparent film, the print-on area adapted to receive indicia identifying the cable about which the marker label is applied. A perforation extends across the transparent film providing a line of separation of the transparent film. When wrapped around a cable, the second adhesive area overlies the print-on area such that the cable identifying indicia is visible through the transparent second adhesive area. As the transparent film is wrapped around the cable, the first adhesive area adheres to the cable. The remainder of the transparent film is rotated, breaking the perforation, whereby the smooth area of the film in contact with the cable provides smooth rotation of the label around the cable.

  • Patent number: 9462011
    Abstract: A method includes receiving an application programming interface (API) request from a source computer application that is directed to a destination computer application. An attack response message that is configured to trigger operation of a defined action by the source computer application is sent to the source computer application. Deliverability of the API request to the destination computer application is controlled based on whether the attack response message triggered operation of the defined action. Related operations by API request risk assessment systems are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9462044
    Abstract: A secure protocol for registering a user, device and application with a computing device, such as a server, is provided. The protocol uses a single sign-on or registration request that enables multiple applications executing on single mobile computing device to access server resources' without each application separately registering with the server. After registration, a server is able to determine which user is using which application on which computing device whenever a request is sent from a device to the server. This type of registration enables fine grained access control to protected resources, such as information and/or services, of the server.
