  • Patent number: 10140472
    Abstract: An multi-level privacy evaluation technology is described for increasing the performance of applications or services that experience high volumes of queries for data with privacy attributes. The multi-level privacy evaluation technology evaluates data using a subset of privacy policy rules and privacy information determined for the data at a backend server and thereby reduces the volume of data that need to be filtered at a frontend server. The multi-level privacy evaluation technology first applies an initial privacy check on a large data set at the backend to authoritatively filter out any data that a viewing user is not permitted to view or access and return as results a smaller data set that the viewing user may be permitted to view or access. A full privacy check is then performed at the frontend on the smaller data set, resulting in reduction in the overall cost of performing privacy checks and reducing latency in displaying data to the viewing user.

  • Patent number: 10130994
    Abstract: A method for producing a substantially spherical metal powder is described. A particulate source metal includes a primary particulate and has an average starting particle size. The particulate source metal is optionally ball milled and mixed with a binder in a solvent to form a slurry. The slurry is granulated to form substantially spherical granules, wherein each granule comprises an agglomeration of particulate source metal in the binder. The granules are debinded at a debinding temperature to remove the binder from the granules forming debinded granules. The debinded granules are at least partially sintered at a sintering temperature such that particles within each granule fuse together to form partially or fully sintered solid granules. The granules can then be optionally recovered to form a substantially spherical metal powder.
