  • Patent number: 10270774
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for electronic credential and analytics integrations are described. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving, by a restricted access system and from a client device, a request for access to the restricted access system for a user. The actions further include transmitting a request to authenticate the user. The actions further include receiving, by the restricted access system and from the credential management system, challenge data. The actions further include transmitting the challenge data. The actions further include receiving a token indicating that the credential management system authenticated the user based on the user interacting with a representation of the challenge data that was provided to the client device. The actions further include in response to receiving the token, opening a session between the client device and the restricted access system.

  • Patent number: 8984274
    Abstract: In one implementation, actions may include generating a first key for encryption of data and a second key for encryption of connection parameters. The connection parameters may enable the client device to establish a connection to an update server. Further actions may include encrypting the connection parameters using the second key and providing the first key and the second key to the update server. Additional actions may include storing the first key on the client device, receiving, at the client device, a notification of an update that includes the second key, decrypting the encrypted connection parameters using the received second key, and connecting to the update server using the decrypted connection parameters. Actions may further include providing a request for the update to the update server, receiving data encrypted using the first key in response, and decrypting the encrypted data using the first key.

  • Patent number: 7415438
    Abstract: A system for a personal intelligence network provides informational and transactional data. Data distribution servers provide e-mail and other messages of topical interest to a subset of the subscribers. The content may be generated by an On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) based channel database system, and the output may also be communicated to individuals via spreadsheet programs data, pager, telephone, mobile phone, fax, personal digital assistants, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) e-mail and other formats, including a workbook file attachment. Reports generated may enable a subscriber to act upon the content within the report, thereby providing an interactive component to the report. Subscriber actions or inaction to the report and content may be obtained and analyzed, including analysis in connection with the other informational and transactional data.

  • Patent number: 5702745
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing shelf-stable, ready-to-eat rice products. The method involves coating pregelatinized rice grains with an emulsifier. A food acid and glucono-delta-lactone are then added to the coated rice to lower the pH to 4.6 or less. The rice is then thermally treated at a temperature and for a time sufficient for sterilization. The resulting products have the same or superior texture, appearance, and flavor when compared to other commercially produced, shelf-stable, ready-to-each rice products.
