  • Publication number: 20240083000
    Abstract: A genderless interface connector pull tool is used for removing a membrane from a genderless interface connector. The tool may include a clamp and a hand grip. The clamp is configured to clamp a genderless interface connector and may include a top clamp coupled with a bottom clamp, and a pair of rails located on a top surface of the top clamp. The hand grip may include a grip head which is formed with a hook and one or more openings. The hook is configured to engage with a tab of the genderless interface connector that is connected to a membrane. The one or more openings are dimensioned to fit with the pair of rails so that the hand grip can slide on the rails to pull the tab. Thus, the membrane connected to the tab can be removed from the genderless interface connector along the rails' direction.

  • Publication number: 20230004664
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to dynamically controlling access to linked content in electronic communications. A computing platform may receive, from a user computing device, a request for a uniform resource locator associated with an email message and may evaluate the request using one or more isolation criteria. Based on evaluating the request, the computing platform may identify that the request meets at least one isolation condition associated with the one or more isolation criteria. In response to identifying that the request meets the at least one isolation condition associated with the one or more isolation criteria, the computing platform may initiate a browser mirroring session with the user computing device to provide the user computing device with limited access to a resource corresponding to the uniform resource locator associated with the email message.
