  • Patent number: 11429714
    Abstract: A method of operating a privacy management system for managing personal data includes receiving a first input indicative of a first user activity in accessing personal data stored within a memory element. The method also includes creating an activity model based on the first input. The activity model is indicative of typical activity in accessing personal data stored in the memory element. The method further includes receiving a second input indicative of a second user activity in accessing personal data stored within the memory element. Also, the method includes recognizing, according to the activity model, the second user activity as being anomalous to the typical activity in accessing personal data stored in the memory element. Moreover, the method includes generating, as a result of recognizing the second user activity as being anomalous, a command that causes at least one of the client devices to perform an anomaly corrective action.

  • Patent number: 8827194
    Abstract: A fluorescent bulb compactor and mercury vapor recovery system that allows for the safe collection and disposal of crushed or broken fluorescent lamps, while recovering substantially 100% of the hazardous mercury vapors contained within the lamps. A fluorescent lamp is inserted within a drum and broken into fragments by one or more blades, with the fragment falling to the bottom of the drum. The mercury vapors that are emitted from the broken fluorescent lamps are forced out of the drum by negative positive pressure created by a vacuum/filter assembly. Once through the filter assembly, which includes a HEPA filter and activated carbon filter, the gases are permitted to escape into the environment virtually 100% free of mercury toxins.
