Patent number: 11968218Abstract: Disclosed is a system for customizing protections provided to different application programming interfaces (“APIs”) and different functions of an API based on different API context and user context associated with the different APIs and the different functions of each API. The system receives a particular API, determines API context for proper usage of one or more functions of the particular API, and determines user context associated with endpoints properly accessing the one or more functions. The system generates a model for differentiating between proper and improper use of the one or more functions based on contextual relationships between different combinations of the API context and the user context. The system monitors usage of the one or more functions based on the model, and performs an action that is associated with the model in response to the usage violating the contextual relationships for the one or more functions.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Impart Security Inc.Inventors: Jonathan DiVincenzo, Marc Harrison, Brian Joe

Patent number: 10087301Abstract: A method for the controlled removal of water from devulcanized rubber, comprising steps of contacting the devulcanized rubber with a solvent, dissolving the water out of the devulcanized rubber and into solution without removing other components in the rubber such as polymer, separating the devulcanized rubber from the solvent, and drying the devulcanized rubber. By controlling the amount of water that is in the solvent-solution, and/or the amount of time the devulcanized rubber is in contact with the solvent solution the amount of water that is removed can be controlled. By controlling the amount of water that is removed the rheology/viscosity (e.g. G? and G?) of the devulcanized rubber can be controlled.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2016Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: RUBRECO INC.Inventors: Brian Harrison, Hurdon A.

Patent number: 9901890Abstract: A dual vessel reactor and a method of carrying out a reaction using a dual vessel reactor are provided using a non-condensable gas to substantially isolate the inner vessel from the outer vessel during the reaction and limit the heating of the outer vessel when steam from the inner vessel condenses on the interior surface of the outer vessel. By limiting the heating of the outer vessel through the condensation of the steam or other vapor from the inner vessel, the operating temperature of the outer vessel is kept below an upper threshold of the operating temperature of a seal used to seal the door in the outer vessel.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2016Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: RUBRECO INC.Inventors: Brian Harrison, Hurdon Hooper

Publication number: 20170076240Abstract: A control circuit for a retail sales facility presents via an active display a plurality of leaderboards that correspond to a variety of different associate-level performance statistics. These statistics can include, but are not limited to, the number of products that a given associate picks as part of moving products from a stock area to the retail sales product display area (over, for example, a given amount of time) and/or an aggregated monetary value of products that are so picked, a number of products that are so picked exclusively from a particular area of the product stock area, a number of manually-created requirements to so move products, and/or a number of products that are placed for storage in the product stock area itself. Such statistics can represent any time period of choice including, for example, a particular work shift such as a current work shift.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2016Publication date: March 16, 2017Inventors: Zulfiqar A.

Patent number: 9272266Abstract: A supported palladium-gold catalyst is produced under mild conditions using a commonly available base, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or sodium carbonate (Na2CO3). In this method, support materials and a base solution are mixed together and the temperature of the mixture is increased to a temperature above room temperature. Then, palladium salt and gold salt are added to the mixture while maintaining the pH of the mixture to be greater than 7.0 and keeping the mixture at a temperature above room temperature. This is followed by cooling the mixture while adding acetic acid to maintain the pH of the mixture to be within a desired pH range, filtering out the supported palladium-gold particles, washing with a pH buffer solution and calcining.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2013Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: WGCH Technology LimitedInventors: Xianghong Hao, Ramesh Sharma, Geoffrey McCool, Brian Harrison, Dietmar Wahl
