Patent number: 11959831Abstract: Detecting a leak from a site in a sealed system with a source of pressurized gas which is capable of passing through the site, a composition of matter which adheres to the surfaces of the system and which is capable of showing the presence of the gas escaping from the site. The method includes: injecting gas into the system to a pressure in excess of the surrounding pressure, and covering the external surface with the composition to identify the location of the site by the interaction of the escaping gas with the composition. The composition is foam that includes a surfactant which forms a least one bubble in the presence of escaping gas and an indicator which changes color in the presence of the escaping gas. The leak is an opening down to at least the size of a hole 0.001? in diameter. A gas detector may also be used.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Automotive Test Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Bernie C. Thompson, Steven G. Thoma, Kenneth D. Ley

Publication number: 20240112115Abstract: In a threat management platform, a number of endpoints log events in an event data recorder. A local agent filters this data and feeds a filtered data stream to a central threat management facility. The central threat management facility can locally or globally tune filtering by local agents based on the current data stream, and can query local event data recorders for additional information where necessary or helpful in threat detection or forensic analysis. The central threat management facility also stores and deploys a number of security tools such as a web-based user interface supported by machine learning models to identify potential threats requiring human intervention and other models to provide human-readable context for evaluating potential threats.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Beata Ladnai, Mark D.

Publication number: 20240069961Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for individually deploying batch functions in a cluster computing environment. A batch function system may receive a scheduled batch job for execution at a particular timing. Rather than deploying the corresponding batch functions as a bundled monolith, the batch function system may individually deploy corresponding batch functions. To individually deploy the batch functions, the batch function system may use a verticle data structure for defining a batch job. The batch function system may then execute a batch function corresponding to the batch job on a cluster computing platform by deploying the batch function to a pod executing on computing nodes. Upon individual completion of execution, the batch function system may release the pod and/or computing nodes to make the computing resources available. The batch function system may also preserve and pass data between pods executing batch functions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.Inventors: Edward K. SAMSON, Anuj GOYAL, Michael D. WIRSIG, Brandon Michael Thomas Bradley
