  • Publication number: 20240146775
    Abstract: Templated document stream integration of checklist data includes loading different checklist templates for a generic endpoint in a computing infrastructure, each containing partially filed data and each corresponding to a different security policy hardening the generic endpoint from a cyberthreat. Specific endpoints are then selected in the computing infrastructure and, for each corresponding specific endpoint, a set of checklists generated, each checklist in the set deriving from a different checklist template and including the partially filled data of one of the different checklist templates. Further, remediation data stored in a data store of an enterprise application is merged into each one of the generated checklists in the set. Finally, the enterprise application is updated with respect to the corresponding one of the selected specific endpoints with the different checklists merging the partially filled data and the remediation data.

  • Patent number: 11961043
    Abstract: An inventory tracking system includes storage modules that hold one or more items. Each item is positionable at locations within the storage modules independent of physical characteristics of the item. Inventory monitoring modules are included to monitor storage modules for adding an item, retrieving an item, consuming of the item, returning an unused item, discarding at least a portion of a consumed item, or combinations thereof. Each act is used to determine information about items utilized in the act, including the location within the storage modules of the items. Each storage module updates a central inventory database about a location of the storage module, a revised inventory of the items stored within the storage modules, or both. The location of the storage modules, the revised inventory of the items stored within the storage modules, or both, is used to order a replenishment of the items held within the storage modules.

  • Publication number: 20240109378
    Abstract: A modular tire pressure leak detection system includes a tire that supports a vehicle and a sensor unit mounted on the tire. The sensor unit detects real-time tire parameters inside the tire and transmits the parameters to a processor. A plurality of modules are in electronic communication with the processor. The plurality of modules include a pre-processing module that receives the parameters and applies a set of operations to generate pressure time series data, a leak detection module that receives the pressure time series data and determines a leak rate of the tire, and a post-processing module that receives the leak rate of the tire and analyzes the leak rate of the tire with determinations from a plurality of conditions. A leak alert is issued by the post-processing module based upon the analysis of the leak rate of the tire and the determinations from the plurality of conditions.

  • Publication number: 20240113940
    Abstract: Historical data is collected from prior risk analysis for applications to be installed or already installed on computing devices. A risk profile is determined for new applications to be installed or already installed on the same and/or different computing devices. The risk profile is determined by comparing or correlating the historical data to data regarding the new applications (e.g., metadata such as package identifier, signer data, name, version). Various remediation actions are determined based on the risk profile.

  • Publication number: 20240089298
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for a method, system, and apparatus for processing content during scan and/or remediation processing. The method includes receiving a scan request or a remediation request. Content from a datastore referencing one or more controls as well as one or more of a compliance value, remediation value, and an ignore switch corresponding to each control is then loaded. If a scan request is received, the computing environment is scanned to determine all controls in the computing environment and the current setting of each. Thereafter, a subset of controls is determined, where the current setting of each control in the subset is out of compliance, the out of compliance state for each control is not to be ignored, and a remediation value for the corresponding control is listed in the loaded content. Thereafter, information regarding each control is determined, captured, and then stored.

  • Patent number: 11913685
    Abstract: Provided is a chiller and system that may be utilized in a supercritical fluid chromatography method, wherein a non-polar solvent may replace a portion or all of a polar solvent for the purpose of separating or extracting desired sample molecules from a combined sample/solvent stream. The system may reduce the amount of polar solvent necessary for chromatographic separation and/or extraction of desired samples. The system may incorporate a supercritical fluid chiller, a supercritical fluid pressure-equalizing vessel and a supercritical fluid cyclonic separator. The supercritical fluid chiller allows for efficient and consistent pumping of liquid-phase gases employing off-the-shelf HPLC pumps. The pressure equalizing vessel allows the use of off-the-shelf HPLC column cartridges. The system may further incorporate the use of one or more disposable cartridges containing silica gel or other suitable medium.

  • Patent number: 11886651
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are liquid-crystal display (LCD) touch screens that integrate the touch sensing elements with the display circuitry. The integration may take a variety of forms. Touch sensing elements can be completely implemented within the LCD stackup but outside the not between the color filter plate and the array plate. Alternatively, some touch sensing elements can be between the color filter and array plates with other touch sensing elements not between the plates. In another alternative, all touch sensing elements can be between the color filter and array plates. The latter alternative can include both conventional and in-plane-switching (IPS) LCDs. In some forms, one or more display structures can also have a touch sensing function. Techniques for manufacturing and operating such displays, as well as various devices embodying such displays are also disclosed.
