  • Publication number: 20200059479
    Abstract: The invention relates to a resource landscape system that allows users to identify issues with elements within the organization and implement changes to the elements utilizing a relational database that utilizes nodes for defining the elements and relationships between the elements. The resource landscape system and applications therein provide a holistic inventory of resources, threat vectors, controls, metrics, policies, rules, and/or the like. The resource landscape system may be implemented through one or more interfaces that allows users to view cross-references of the elements, identify the priority of the elements using the crossed-references, and/or identify element issues in the elements of the organization that could results in threats to the organization. Moreover, the invention allows for receiving changes to one or more of the elements and automatically updating the cross-references of the elements, the priority of the elements, and/or the element issues.

  • Publication number: 20200058034
    Abstract: Threats may be determined for events in isolation, however, many threats are not identified and/or realized without the occurrence of two or more events. The invention allows for identifying, prioritizing, and remitting the threats that may occur as a result of the combination of events. The invention utilizes the creation of a threat framework, which is populated with events that are defined by event characteristics using an N-tuple. Each event may have an event threat magnitude, as well as an event threat vector that illustrates the severity and likelihood of the event threat and the alignment of the threat event with related threats, and which can be used to determine an event threat assessment for the combination of events. The one or more threat frameworks may be represented by plotting the events in a dimensional Cartesian space illustrating the event threat magnitude and event threat vector.

  • Patent number: 10478568
    Abstract: A needle safety device has an outer tube within which a syringe barrel is slideably receivable. A collar in the outer tube is moveable relative thereto and rotatably attachable to the distal end of the barrel. A force member biases the outer tube in a distal direction. A track is formed in the inner surface of the outer tube. A pin extending radially outwardly from the collar slidingly engages the track. In a staging position, the barrel is inspectable. In a pre-injection position, the cannula extends a first length beyond the outer tube. In a full-insertion position, the cannula extends a second length greater than the first length beyond the outer tube. In a locked position, the cannula is entirely within the outer tube.

  • Publication number: 20190336692
    Abstract: An apparatus for presenting an application status of a medical device that has a unused state and a used state. The apparatus includes a label having an electrochromic element. The label is at least partially disposed on an exterior surface of the medical device and is configured to display a predetermined feature in response to an electric current. A power source is disposed in or on the medical device for providing the electric current. A switch is configured to selectively connect or disconnect the label and the power source to one another for controlling the application of the electric current to the electrochromic element in response to actuation of the medical device from the unused state to the used state. The label may be scanned by a scan device that may connect to a medical organization for communicating information between the scan device and the medical organization.

  • Publication number: 20190341136
    Abstract: A method of detecting and/or tracking use of a drug delivery device is disclosed. The drug delivery device includes a machine readable code and a visual indicator, and has pre-use and used states, such that use of the drug delivery device triggers a transition from the pre-use to the used state. The visual indicator has a first state when the drug delivery device is in the pre-use state and a different second state when the drug delivery device is in the used state. The method includes enabling a user device having an image sensor to capture an image of the drug delivery device, determining, by the user device processor from the captured image, whether the visual indicator of the drug delivery device is in the second state, and obtaining, by the processor, information from the machine readable code when the visual indicator is determined to be in the second state.

  • Publication number: 20190328976
    Abstract: A combination accessory finger flange and pharmaceutical syringe system including a needle safety shield having a safety-shield outer tube the proximal end of which forms a coupling ring, has a base portion with diametrically-opposed finger flanges that extend radially outwardly therefrom and a central opening dimensioned to receive the safety-shield outer tube. Diametrically-opposed, radially outwardly extending coupling-ring flanges are received and retained in diametrically-opposed receptacles on a top surface of the base-portion adjacent the central opening when the safety-shield outer tube is in the central opening, the coupling-ring flanges are in contact with the top surface of the base-portion and the coupling ring is rotated in a first rotational direction relative to the base portion.

  • Publication number: 20190325056
    Abstract: The invention provides an interconnected graph database system, method and computer program product structured for identifying and remediating conflicts in resource deployment. In some embodiments, the present invention is configured to identify a source node of a plurality of first nodes of a first graph database system. The source node is typically associated with a first information technology operational activity. In addition, the present invention is configured for determining a lateral relationship between the source node of the first graph database system and a target node of a plurality of second nodes of a second graph database system. Moreover, the present invention is configured for determining that the lateral relationship between the source node and the target node comprises a conflict, and in response, blocking initiation of the first information technology operational activity.

  • Publication number: 20190065178
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for indicator regression and modeling for implementing system changes to improve control effectiveness. The system is typically configured for presenting, prompting for and receiving a selection from a list of controls from a user, via a control effectiveness application user interface on a user device. The system is also for receiving two or more consideration indicators from the user device, via the control effectiveness application user interface forming a consideration set; applying a regression algorithm on the consideration set of indicators; reducing a number of the subset of the consideration set of indicators based on a threshold correlation or a threshold number; finalizing the final equation with the number of the subset, each having a corresponding coefficient; and, in response to finalizing the final equation, automatically performing an action configured to improve effectiveness of the control based on the final equation.

  • Publication number: 20190065967
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for predicting one or more events and mitigating the impact of the one or more events. The system is typically configured for presenting a list of exposures to a user via an event prediction application user interface, prompting the user to select an exposure from the list of exposures, receiving a selection of the exposure and at least one option from the user device, determining type of the exposure based on the at least one option, determining one or more distribution models based on the type of the exposure, estimating occurrence of the one or more events associated with the exposure using at least one distribution model from the one or more distribution models, and in response to estimating the occurrence of the one or more events, triggering one or more automated counter measures.
