Abstract: A computer-implemented method for management of an application on an enterprise network which accesses external networks via a web proxy. The method comprises obtaining enriched metadata concerning an application executed on the enterprise network, the enriched metadata including at least source code information and ownership information, identifying application traffic on the enterprise network based on proxy log data, source IP and destination URL, generating an access control list (ACL) based on the enriched metadata and identified application traffic, the ACL including a source address of the application and a list of allowed destination addresses, converting the ACL into a proxy policy that can be processed by a web proxy to permit access by the application to the destination addresses in the ACL, and establishing data communication between the application and an external network based on the proxy policy.

Abstract: In some embodiments, reducing usage of cache memory in connection with user queries may be facilitated. In some embodiments, in connection with a first query, (i) a first set of results received during a user session and (ii) a first output generated from the first set of results are stored in a session cache associated with the user session. In response to determining that a second query parameter of a second query corresponds to a first query parameter of the first query but fails to satisfy a match criterion: a cache lookup is performed on the session cache to retrieve a matching result subset of the first set of results, in lieu of retrieving the first output generated from the first set of results, where the matching result subset does not include a result corresponding to the first query parameter. A second output is then generated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for male fertility analysis may include: loading an aliquot of a male fertility sample into a chamber of an analysis system via an inlet, the chamber having an opening covered over by a porous membrane and a concave bottom opposite the opening; introducing media so that the membrane acts as a migration path for motile sperm; removing the media and a motile portion of the aliquot from the system into a container; sealing the container; and transporting the sealed container and a remainder of the male fertility sample to a testing facility. The testing facility may: determine a first concentration of the portion of the sample from the first container; determine a second concentration of the remainder; and estimate a percentage of total motile sperm for the sample based on the first concentration, the second concentration, and a predetermined relationship between portions and remainders of samples.

Abstract: Described herein are a system and techniques for conducting transactions upon receiving a biometric sample from a user. In some embodiments, a security device obtains a biometric sample from a user. The security device then provides the biometric sample, or a biometric template derived therefrom, to a service provider, which is able to identify and authenticate the user based on the biometric sample. The service provider then obtains access credential and/or supplemental information for the user and provides it to the security device. The security device is then capable of completing a transaction using the received access credential data. In some embodiments, this may involve generating a cryptogram to be used in the transaction.

Abstract: The method includes receiving, by a server computer from a first user device, transfer data regarding a receiver operating a second user device. The server computer can transmit a verification request message to a wallet aggregator computer. The server computer can then receive a verification response message from the wallet aggregator, the verification response message including an account identifier of the receiver. The server computer can then transmit a confirmation request message to the first user device and receive a confirmation response message. The server computer can then send a transaction message including the receiver's account identifier.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improvements to multifactor authentication (MFA) techniques are described herein. The improved and enhanced MFA techniques can leverage user interaction data to predict an entity-issued user-specific identification document that an authorized user of an authorized user account is most likely to carry on their person. Upon a request to access an authorized user account being received, the improved and enhanced MFA techniques can request that the user capture, in real-time, an image depicting the predicted identification document. Using additional artificial intelligence, a determination may be made as to whether the image depicts a real instance of the entity-issued user-specific identification document. This determination may result in access to the authorized user account being provided or denied.

Abstract: Accurate onset detection helps in fine-tuning training regimens. However, the chaotic nature of raw EMG signals, contaminated with noise and interference from various sources, often complicates the task of accurate onset/offset detection. For the same reason, existing signal processing systems struggle to perform the onset and offset detection effectively, which in turn affects end applications. Embodiments disclosed herein provide a method and system for signal elevation based muscle activity detection. The system performs the signal elevation to highlight and detect onset and offset regions in a signal being processed. Further, based on the determined onset and offset regions, a muscle potential activity of the subject is determined.

Abstract: A tubing retrievable safety valve assembly and related methods are disclosed herein. The assembly includes a primary flapper, a secondary flapper, a flow tube, and a protective sleeve. The flow tube is shiftable between a downhole position that holds the primary flapper in an open position and an uphole position that allows the primary flapper to move to a closed position. The protective sleeve, when positioned in an uphole position, holds the secondary flapper valve in an open position. The protective sleeve is shiftable to a downhole position to allow the secondary flapper to move to a closed position, for example, upon failure of the primary flapper.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and method for securely communicating sensitive information on a client device that receives sensitive information. An application running on the client device determines a positive enablement status of a screen reader on the client device and determines a negative connection status of the client device to an audio device.

The client device generates another prompt to input a passcode via the client device based on the persistence of the negative connection status. The system includes a terminal device or online platform, the client device, and a server coupled to the client device and the terminal device or the online platform.
