  • Patent number: 11874931
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for dynamically generating linked security tests. The present invention may be configured to perform security tests on an application, generate, based on the results of the security tests, security test sequences that include at least one security test that the application failed, perform the security test sequences on the application, and, iteratively and until the application passes each security test sequence in an iteration, generate additional security test sequences. The present invention may be further configured to provide results of the security tests and security test sequences to one or more machine learning models to generate supplementary security test sequences and determine probabilities of the application failing the supplementary security test sequences.

  • 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: 11813147
    Abstract: An absorbent article is disclosed. The absorbent article includes a core and a chassis. One or more discrete bonding zones bond the core to the chassis, and one or more unbonded zones of the core are not bonded to the chassis, forming a floating core. The core is not elastically coupled with the chassis. A method of making the absorbent article may include selectively bonding the chassis to the core at discrete bonding zones.

  • 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: 11640247
    Abstract: A system and technique are provided for providing a service address space. The system includes a service co-processor provided with a service address space. The service co-processor is attached to a main processor where the main processor is provided with a main address space. The service co-processor creates and maintains an independent copy of the main address space in the form of the service address space. The service co-processor receives from the main processor a command packet, determines a clock value for initiating a service function designated by the command packet, and updates the service address space until reaching the clock value. The service co-processor then performs the service function at the clock value.

  • Publication number: 20220327218
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for dynamically performing linked security tests. The present invention may be configured to determine a fingerprint of an application, perform, in an order based on the fingerprint of the application, security test sequences on the application, parse responses of the application to the security test sequences to generate results of the security test sequences, and label, with the fingerprint, the results. The present invention may be further configured to provide, to one or more machine learning models, the labeled results to determine probabilities of applications having a same fingerprint as the fingerprint of the application failing the security test sequences, update, based on the probabilities of the applications failing the security test sequences, the order, and store, in a temporary persistent storage device and based on the updated order, the security test sequences.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11334466
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes identifying a bad fix to a software product, where the software product includes a plurality of parts, and where the bad fix presents an error into a first part. A plurality of fixes to the software product, including the bad fix, are representable by a dependency graph indicating dependencies among the plurality of fixes. The dependency graph is recursively traversed to identify a subset of fixes that are dependent on the bad fix, where each fix in the subset of fixes includes a respective set of parts, and to add a reference to a respective most recent version of each part of each fix in the subset of fixes to a parts datastore. A remedial part and each part referenced in the parts datastore are packaged into a remedial fix, where the remedial part includes a correction to the error in the first part.
