Abstract: The invention relates to detecting vulnerabilities in technology infrastructure environments. Data describing vulnerabilities detected in a technological environment of an enterprise is obtained. The vulnerability data is combined with data relating to servers, applications associated with the servers, and business functions associated with the applications, within the technological environment of the enterprise in order to create enriched data. The enriched data is enhanced using one or more of the following proceses: deduplicating records in the enriched data; modifying of a severity assigned to vulnerabilities based on one or more enterprise-infrastructure factors; archiving and purging of records included in the enriched data; consolidating IP addresses associated with the vulnerabilities; excepting records in the enriched data for vulnerabilities undergoing active remediation; and validating the enriched data. After the enriched data is enhanced, it may be sorted in accordance with one or more filters.

Abstract: The tubular threaded seal connector includes a coupling body for engaging a first pipe and a second pipe. A first coupling end is on the coupling body. A first chamfer is adjacent to the first coupling end.

Abstract: A system for use in a wellbore using a tubing string formed from a plurality of connected tubulars. The tubulars are connected by a tubular threaded seal connector. The tubular threaded seal connector includes a coupling body. A first seal engagement portion is formed on the coupling body adjacent to a first shoulder formed on a portion of the J-area, and second seal engagement portion is formed on the coupling body adjacent a second shoulder formed on another portion of the J-area.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing biometric digit data variously include scanning a digit in a transverse direction relative to an array of sensor elements, detecting the scanned digit and/or a predetermined characteristic of the scanned digit, outputting from individual sensor elements of the array of sensor elements respective continuous streams of biometric data associated with the scanned digit, discrete sampling the respective continuous streams of data, and reconstructing the discrete sampled data. The discrete sampled data may be directly reconstructed, e.g., in accordance with a reconstruction characteristic associated with detecting and/or discrete sampling the scanned digit, to form a biometric characteristic image associated with the digit. Optionally, the respective continuous streams of data may be stored for later discrete sampling, or discrete sampled data may be stored for later reconstruction to form a biometric characteristic image associated with the digit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of modular building systems. Embodiments of the invention include, a modular building system comprising planar sheets of material and moment connections, which are combined with tool-less or limited tool assembly mechanisms and can be used, for example, as spatial partitions, platforms, structural supports, or supports for articles. Specific embodiments of the invention provide structures having a seemingly homogenous, flowing ribbon structure.

Abstract: Provided herein is a method of making an integrated circuit device using copper metallization on 1-3 PZT composite. The method includes providing an overlay of electroplated immersion of gold (Au) to cover copper metal traces, the overlay preventing oxidation on 1:3 PZT composite with material. Also included is the formation of immersion Au nickel electrodes on the 1-3 PZT composite to achieve pad metallization for external connections.

Abstract: A method for teaching children to ski uses a wide torso encircling band and two pairs of reins of different length. At an early stage of learning, the instructor straddles the child and uses short reins to directly control the speed and direction of the child and the pair of ski slowly. At a later stage of learning, the instructor backs away from the child and uses the long reins to directly control the child's speed and indirectly control the child's direction.

Abstract: A monoski system includes a single ski having a conventional ski binding secured thereto and a boot receiver rearwardly of the ski binding. The boot receiver loosely receives the footwear of the skier and includes a boot supporting platform and a tapered section positioning the skier's rear boot in a forwardly inclined position. In one embodiment, the boot supporting platform is angularly adjustable about an upright axis to position the skier's rear boot at a small acute angle relative to the direction of intended travel. The inclination of the boot is adjustable by changing the tapered section.

Abstract: High temperature grease compositions comprise 80% to 94% by weight of a base fluid that is a dialkyl ester of hydrogenated dimer acids that contain less than 8% by weight of trimer acids, 0.2% to 6% by weight of an additive system that contains antioxidant, rust-inhibiting, metal-passivating, and load-bearing components, and 5% to 20% by weight of a thickener component that comprises an oleophilic surface-modified clay and a dispersant.
