Patent number: 11971870Abstract: Systems and methods for generating tables using data associated with records. For example, a system may store the data associated with the record in one or more databases. The system may then generate tables associated with fields of the record, where the tables indicate updates and/or changes to the fields. For instance, when changes are made to a field of the record, the system may update the table to indicate the changes, times at which the changes occurred, identifiers of users that made the changes, reasons for the changes, and/or so forth. The system may further update a version of the record when updates and/or changes are made to the fields. Furthermore, the system may update the tables to indicate versions of the record when the updates and/or changes occurred to the fields.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Clover HealthInventors: Joey P.

Patent number: 11965150Abstract: A method is provided for vaporized hydrogen peroxide cleaning of a chamber. The method includes altering a temperature of air in the chamber from an initial temperature to a sterilization temperature over a first time period. The method also includes injecting vaporized hydrogen peroxide into air in the chamber to alter a relative humidity of hydrogen peroxide vapor in the chamber to a sterilization level over the first time period. The method also includes maintaining the temperature at the sterilization temperature and the relative humidity at the sterilization level over a second time period. The method also includes reducing the relative humidity from the sterilization level to a safe level over a third time period. In one embodiment, the method is provided for vaporized hydrogen peroxide cleaning of an interior chamber of an incubation container. In other embodiments, the incubation chamber featured in the method is provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: CARON PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, INC.Inventors: Milton Ford Baker, Jr., Dale C.

Publication number: 20240121235Abstract: A computing device comprising a secure browser extension for a web browser monitors for satisfaction of one or more operating conditions to identify whether one or more unauthorized applications are intercepting web browser communications. Based on satisfaction of at least one operating condition, the secure browser extension of the computing device sends an HTTPS request to a known service via the web browser. The secure browser extension receives an HTTPS response to the HTTPS request via the web browser. The secure browser extension determines whether the certificate included in the HTTPS response is trusted by the secure browser extension. Based on determining the certificate is not trusted, the secure browser extension terminates the web browser session and generates a notification for display at the computing device that indicates web browser communications are compromised.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Andrew Paul Montgomery, Sanjay Bhanu, Stuart David Ford, Ricardo Varanda

Patent number: 11750595Abstract: Systems for credential evaluation and control are provided. In some examples, a request to access data via a website may be received. The request may include a username. A browser extension embedded in the web browser used to request the data via the website may be triggered and one or more credential evaluation functions may be executed. An event record associated with the request to access data may be generated. The event record may be analyzed to determine a designation associated with the website and a designation associated with user credentials provided with the request to access the data. The designation of the website and the designation of the credentials may be compared to determine whether the designations match. If so, access to the requested data may be provided. If not, one or more mitigating actions may be identified and executed.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Stuart David Ford, Ricardo Varanda, Andrew Paul Montgomery, Sanjay Bhanu

Patent number: 11687614Abstract: A computing device comprising a secure browser extension for a web browser monitors for satisfaction of one or more operating conditions to identify whether one or more unauthorized applications are installed on the computing device. Based on satisfaction of at least one operating condition, the secure browser extension of the computing device sends an HTTP request to a known service via the web browser. The secure browser extension receives a response to the HTTP request via the web browser. The secure browser extension determines whether the received response is an HTTP response (e.g., from an unauthorized application) or a non-HTTP response (e.g., from the known service). Based on determining the received response is an HTTP response, the secure browser extension terminates the web browser session and generates a notification for display at the computing device that indicates web browser communications are compromised.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2022Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Andrew Paul Montgomery, Stuart David Ford, Ricardo Varanda

Publication number: 20220309817Abstract: Systems and methods for generating document content using data analysis. For example, a system may store data representing one or more documents, where a document is associated with a type of user and fields. The system may send the data representing the document to an electronic device. Additionally, the system may receive, from the electronic device, data representing information input into the document. Using the information, the system may select various fields for the document and send, to the electronic device, data representing the fields. Furthermore, the system may analyze the information to determine a score associated with the document. If the score does not satisfy a threshold score, the system may continue to select fields using the information and send, to the electronic device, data representing the fields. However, if the score satisfies the threshold score, the system may determine that the document is complete.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Inventors: David Ford Flerlage, Joey P.

Publication number: 20220255970Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to deploying and maintaining a trust store to dynamically manage web browser extensions on end user computing devices. In some embodiments, an end user computing device may receive a user request to access resources located outside of the enterprise computing infrastructure. The end user computing device may extract and collect user attributes, system attributes, and request attributes from the user request, and deliver the attributes to an enterprise computing platform. The enterprise computing platform may evaluate the attributes to generate a trust score and rules. The enterprise computing platform may deliver the trust score and the rules to the web browser extension associated with the end user computing device. The web browser extension may analyze the trust score using the rules generated by the enterprise computing platform to either grant or deny the user request.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2021Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventors: Stuart David Ford, Andrew Paul Montgomery, Sanjay Bhanu, Ricardo Varanda
