Patent number: 11184379Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprising an analytic server, which automatically detects malicious electronic files. The analytic server receives electronic files, runs a file extraction module to recursively scan the electronic files, and extracts all of the embedded and linked electronic files. The analytic server runs an exploit scanner against the extracted electronic files, and extracts code included in the electronic files. The analytic server deobfuscates the extracted code and examines the deobfuscated code by applying a set of malicious behavior rules against the deobfuscated rules. The analytic server identifies potentially malicious electronic files based on the examination. The analytic server applies a set of whitelist rules on the potentially malicious electronic files to eliminate false alarms. The analytic server transmits alert notifications to an analyst regarding the malicious electronic files and updates the whitelist rules based on analyst's feedback.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventor: Joseph Andrew Kjar

Patent number: 11181879Abstract: A system and method that remotely monitors and controls proppant usage in a fracturing operation. The system and method allow operators to wirelessly monitor and control proppant storage units from inside a datavan through sensors and control mechanisms that interface with fracturing software to schedule the flow of the proppant. A sensor monitors the weight, container level, or volume of the proppant being used to keep the induced hydraulic fracture open. A serial to Ethernet converter converts this information and sends it wirelessly to a datavan. A user at the datavan controls the proppant usage through a display in the datavan of the storage units with the appropriate weight. The container monitoring software links with the fracturing software, providing real-time information about proppant usage so that the user can properly schedule proppant flow to the well through valves, conveyor belts, and other control mechanisms.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2019Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: U.S. Well Services, LLCInventors: Jared Oehring, Brandon N.

Publication number: 20210356621Abstract: A subterranean earth formation is evaluated by running a process with a logging tool residing in a borehole in the earth formation to collect shallow measurements of a property of the formation and deep measurements of the property of the formation. An inversion is performed on the shallow measurements to produce a group of possible formation models that fit the shallow measurements. A machine-learning algorithm is applied to estimate the shallow formation structure, using the group of possible formation models that fit the shallow measurements, to produce a shallow formation structure. An inversion is performed on the deep measurements to produce a group of possible formation models that fit the deep measurements. The shallow formation structure is expanded using the group of possible formation models that fit the deep measurements to produce a deep formation structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2018Publication date: November 18, 2021Applicant: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Hsu-Hsiang Wu, Weixin Dong

Publication number: 20210357443Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to methods and systems for generating a textual summary from a tabular data. During the textual summary generation using conventional end-to-end neural network-based techniques, a numeric data present in the tables is encoded via textual embeddings. However, the textual embeddings cannot reliably encode information about numeric concepts and relationships. The methods and systems generate the textual summary from the tabular data, by incorporating rank information for different records present in the tabular data. Then, a two-stage encoder-decoder network is used to learn correlations between the rank information and the probability of including the records based on the rank information, to obtain the textual summary generation model. The textual summary generation model identifies the content selection having the records present in the tables to be included in the textual summary and generates the textual summary from the identified content selection.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Applicant: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Mrinal RAWAT, Lovekesh VIG, Amit SANGROYA, Gautam SHROFF
