  • Patent number: 11907243
    Abstract: Systems and methods for validating and reconciliating data with a core reconciliation (recon) device. The core recon device may be configured to receive data from various data stores from various different independent systems. The core recon device may be configured to facilitate users such as agents or brokers to perform cross-platform data queries from all the data stores from all the independent systems. In embodiments, the core recon device may be configured to receive all the cross-platform queried data and then validate and reconcile all the received data into a single processor assignment queue. In the embodiments, the core recon device may be used by the user to identify any particular type of desired discrepancies from all the queried data. In the embodiments, the core recon device may then be used by the user to respectively work towards verifying and rectifying the identified discrepancies stored within the processor assignment queue.

  • Patent number: 11861562
    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to a method of matching job-seekers and employers in real-time with low required effort by the job-seekers and employers. A system-wide taxonomy is used in matching job-seekers and employers, thereby reducing the time for the recruiting process. Employers create a job position, and specify the relative importance of traits associated with the job position. Job-seekers answer profile questions (e.g. work experience), and the system uses the taxonomy to generate a list of job-seeker skills based on the answers to these questions. A list of job-seekers is then generated for the job position based on a mapping of the available job-seekers' skills and the employer rankings of the job position traits. A number of additional factors, like job seekers' in-app engagement, are used to further sort and filter the list of job-seekers.

  • Patent number: 11586710
    Abstract: Methods for protecting software licensing information via a trusted platform module (TPM) are performed by systems and devices. When a licensing server is unreachable, a license is generated for a software application by a licensing manager. The license is generated via a secure register of the TPM using an asymmetric key, specific to the software application and policy-tied to the secure register, to generate a signature of a hashed license file for the software application. The asymmetric key is stored, mapped to the license file, and used for subsequent license validation. A licensing manager validation command is provided to validate the license using the key, as applied to the hash, to verify the signature and checking validity of the time stamp. Time stamp expiration or alteration of the license are determined to provoke invalidation indications for the validating application.

  • Patent number: 11514308
    Abstract: A machine learning apparatus calculates second values, based on first values each assigned to one variable value of each term in relation to a neuron in a layer following an input layer of a neural network, where the second values are assigned to variable-value combination patterns in relation to each following-layer neuron. Each second value is represented by a product of first values each assigned to a variable value included in the combination pattern in relation to the following-layer neuron. The apparatus then applies the second values as weights each to a numerical value when it is entered to the corresponding following-layer neuron, to calculate an output value of the neural network with the numerical values arranged in an input order. The apparatus updates reference values in a reference pattern and the first values based on input error that the output value exhibits with respect to training data.

  • Patent number: 11036896
    Abstract: A computer-aided design system enables physical articles to be customized via printing or embroidering and enables digital content to be customized and electronically shared. A user interface may be generated that includes an image of a model of an article of manufacture and user customizable design areas that are graphically indicated on the image corresponding to the model. A design area selection may be received. In response to an add design element instruction and design element specification, the specified design element is rendered in the selected design area on the model image. Customization permissions associated with the selected design area are accessed, and using the customization permissions, a first set of design element edit tools are selected and rendered. User edits to the design element may be received and rendered in real time. Manufacturing instructions may be transmitted to a printing system.

  • Patent number: 10887278
    Abstract: Taking a zero-configuration approach, a domain name discovery system utilizes, in an iterative process, WHOIS data and infrastructure data for a seed domain to automatically discover domain names having registration and/or infrastructure details that match those of the seed domain. Registration information such as a registered email address associated with a domain name discovered through WHOIS data matching or infrastructure data matching is utilized in a reverse lookup for domain names having infrastructure or WHOIS registered information that fully matches the information associated with the domain name discovered through the iterative process. Domain names discovered through WHOIS data matching, infrastructure data matching, and reverse lookup can be presented through a user interface on a client device communicatively connected to the domain name discovery system over a network. The domain name discovery can be performed periodically or in near real time responsive to receiving a new seed domain.

    Abstract: System and method permit patent mapping. A method may comprise maintaining a database of patent portfolios and a database of patents with each patent stored in the database of patents associated with one or more patent portfolios stored in the database of patent portfolios. A target subject matter to be mapped is identified and a search query associated with the target subject matter is received. Search results are generated to define a first patent portfolio in the database with the search results including one or more patent claims associated with the search query. The one or more patent claims are mapped to a patent concept.

  • Patent number: 10855523
    Abstract: A component tracking system includes a plurality of devices that each include a device component monitoring subsystem that monitors for and records the addition and/or removal of device components to/from that device. A device component manager system that is coupled to each of the plurality of devices identifies, via a recording by a first device monitoring subsystem in a first device included in the plurality of devices, the removal of a first device component from the first device. The device component manager system then determines, via a recording by a second device component monitoring subsystem in a second device included in the plurality of devices, that the first device component has been added to the second device within a time period and, in response, the device component manager device prevents a removed first device component alarm.
