Abstract: A method for generating representative Key:Value pairs of cyber event or cyber asset behavior and de-duplicating multiple alerts associated with a cyber event or cyber asset behavior. The Key:Value pairs comprise a hash value representative of the cyber event or cyber asset behavior and an asset identifier. The Key:Value pairs provides a security operations center a queryable identifier to easily track the behavior of an asset and determine the number of cyber event observations in a predetermined time period.

Abstract: An interlock component for a software system may comprise an input for receiving an interaction request for a first system component and system data, a processor arranged to assess the interaction request and the system data relative to predefined system logic rules to determine if the interaction request satisfies the system logic rules, and an output arranged to output the interaction request to the first system component if the system logic rules are satisfied.

Abstract: Examples include aggregating logs, where each of the logs is associated with a workflow instance. Each log includes information indicative of an event occurring during the workflow instance. Further, examples include assigning, based on user intent of the workflow instance, a workflow name to each log, where the user intent is indicative of an outcome of execution of the workflow instance and assigning an instance identifier to each log, where the instance identifier corresponds to the workflow instance. Further, identifying a subset of the plurality of logs having an identical workflow name and an identical instance identifier, associating a tracking identifier to the subset, and creating an index of processed logs, wherein each processed log in the index includes the tracking identifier. Further, analyzing the index of processed logs based on a set of rules and identifying, based on the analysis, an error in execution of each the workflow instance.

Abstract: A gameplay system for providing interactivity based on a piece of merchandise or other object held or worn by a player. The system includes an object identification assembly, which may be a modified computer vision system, that operates to sense, for a gameplay participant, the presence and identity of a particular augmenting object such as themed merchandise worn or held by a rider of a theme park ride. The sensing may be performed by detecting an on-and-off pattern of light emitted from the object. In response, the gameplay system selects or modifies the interactive features of gameplay associated with the participant based on the identified augmenting object. For example, the interactive features are selected from memory by the gameplay system controller to match a character associated with the augmenting object during any interactive gameplay. This allows the gameplay participant to choose their abilities or powers for gameplay.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to form venting pathways in pressure sensitive adhesives for laminate stacks are disclosed. An example method includes forming a laminate stack including a gas permeable nonwoven layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer has a first surface and a second surface located opposite the first surface. The first surface contacts the gas permeable nonwoven layer. The method further includes processing the laminate stack by reducing a ductility of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer such that venting pathways are formed in the pressure sensitive adhesive layer in response to a mechanical strain applied to the pressure sensitive adhesive layer via a trapped gas. The venting pathways extend through a thickness of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer to enable the trapped gas to pass through the pressure sensitive adhesive layer from the second surface to the first surface.
