Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for dispatching requests to service instances based on data storage boundaries. A request specifying an identity is received and dispatched to a service instance of a data storage boundary, where each data storage boundary is defined by a regulation or policy restricting data storage of specific types of data to computing devices within a specified boundary. A feedback response, specifying a target location, is received from the service instance in response to determining that the service instance cannot access the data because the data is associated with a different data storage boundary. A dynamic dispatch rule specifying the identity and the target location is generated and a subsequent request specifying the identity is processed by executing this dynamic dispatch rule to dispatch the subsequent request directly to a service instance associated with the target location.

Abstract: A computer processor may extract identity information from a document. The identity information may include at least one custodian identity attribute. After extracting the identity information, the computer processor may determine that the identity information is associated with a specific custodian. The computer processor may then search for the custodian identity attribute in a custodian directory to determine whether the custodian directory contains an entry for the custodian. If the custodian is not in the custodian directory, the computer processor may create a new entry in the custodian directory for the custodian and store the extracted identity information in the new entry.

A stop arrangement limits a deflection path of the damper mass relative to the damper mass carrier, and the lubricant distributor has a lubricant feed that leads from the lubricant collector to a constructional unit requiring intensive lubrication.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for user authentication using a cryptographically secured register. An authentication request for authenticating the user is received. The user is authenticated using a root identity of the user. A successful authentication requires receiving a credential assigned to a root identifier of the root identity of the user. An authentication context of the requested authentication is identified. One of the one or more delegated identities assigned to the root identity of the user and assigned to the identified authentication context is identified. In response to a successful authentication of the user, an authentication token is issued confirming the successful user authentication and identifying the successfully authenticated user by the delegated identifier of the identified delegated identity.

Abstract: Providing access to media data shared by multiple users. A predefined edge weight is assigned to each edge of a linked data structure based on a dependency category of the edge. A first access rating value is assigned to each node. A rating residue value is calculated as the difference between the two first access rating values of the nodes connected by each edge. The data structure is traversed from a seed node, and for each edge traversed, calculating a second access rating value using an edge weight value and the first access rating value. Repeating until the rating residue values meet a predefined convergence criterion. The nodes having access rating values meeting a predefined data removal criterion are selected from the nodes of the linked data structure. The data entities corresponding to the selected nodes are then removed.
