  • Publication number: 20240320030
    Abstract: A determination is made whether a requested transaction of a certain type or class is available (i.e., suitable for execution or queueing) within a processing environment. In the case that a transaction of the certain type or class is not available, the request to be rejected is enabled, thus avoiding queuing of the requested transaction. Embodiments may thus provide a mechanism to protect a processing environment by avoiding the overhead of creating and removing specific transactions of the certain type or class.

  • Patent number: 12073422
    Abstract: Web-based opinion survey method, apparatus, and computer-readable media operable to cause propositional function responses to be provided to a survey server from a client device. The propositional functions are P(x), where P and x are the predicate and subject. Each P(x) is evaluated in the client device for subjects, each with a different x. Preferably, the client device displays the subjects within a Web Single Page Application (SPA) running on the client device. Preferably, the SPA displays a nonnumerical scale, the granularity of which is directly proportional to the number of pixels spanned by the scale. For each P(x), the client device displays labeled markers along the scale, to provide an indication of a level of agreement with the expressed P(x). For each P(x) subject, the client expresses an opinion on a position on the scale, whereby a pixel position corresponds to a rating for the selected subject.

  • Patent number: 11824900
    Abstract: Artificial intelligence (“AI”) apparatus and methods are provided for hardening security of software applications. Under the conventional approaches, additional manual investment implementing security policies does not yield proportional increases in combating cyber security threats. Using manual approaches, it is increasingly difficult to consistently apply multiple policies covering different software applications or versions. This results in increased risk and technical debt. Over time, these undesirable consequences exacerbate the likelihood of inadvertently introducing an adverse policy omission or change. As the scale of software application deployed across and organization increases, it becomes even more difficult to ensure that security policies tracked and consistently applied. This may result in ineffective, contradictory or duplicative configuration requirements.

  • Patent number: 11765165
    Abstract: Enhancement of web browser extension analysis capabilities, such as security application analysis, is realized by encapsulating the extension with a wrapper function that defines entry and exits points within the source code of the extension. By wrapping the web browser extension in a function that defines entry and exit points, the present invention enables the use of commercial SAST tools/engines and any other application which desires to analyze the web browser extension and/or extract data therefrom. The web browser extension is programmatically analyzed to identify the entry and exit points and, in response, the wrapper function is generated that defines the entry and exits points and the web browser extension is encapsulated with the wrapper function.

  • Patent number: 11437903
    Abstract: Described herein are latching devices where relative speed of movement between members is in part controlled or reduced via eddy current formation and in part controlled or relative motion stopped via a latch arrangement. Various embodiments are described, one being use of a conductive member; at least one magnetic field and a latch member that, prior to latching, moves independently to the at least one conductive member. A kinematic relationship exists between the conductive member and at least one magnetic field that enables the conductive member to move at a different speed relative to the magnetic field on application of an energizing force, thereby inducing an eddy current drag force by relative movement of the conductive member in the magnetic field. The eddy current drag force resulting causes movement of the conductive member causing the conductive member to engage the latch member thereby halting movement between the at least one conductive member and the at least one latch member.
