Abstract: Systems and methods for generation and use of vendor management platform architectures are disclosed. A compliance component may be utilized to receive user input data indicating supply contracts between a client and a vendor. The user input data may be utilized to determine insurable obligations associated with the supply contract and provide indications as to whether or not the vendor is compliant with the insurable obligation required by the supply contract. An exposure assessment component may be utilized to determine an exposure score associated with a client account and/or a vendor account based on various compliance factors, spending amounts, and/or properties associated with at least one of goods and/or services that a vendor will supply to a client.

Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to analyzing intellectual-property data according to provide various intellectual property related services to organizations. In particular implementations, information related to products and/or services may be obtained from a number of data sources. Additionally, information related to intellectual-property assets, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and know-how, may be obtained. In various situations, the intellectual-property assets may be mapped to respective products and/or services. The mappings between the products and/or services and intellectual-property assets may be used to provide intellectual property related services that correspond to the intellectual-property assets, such as valuation services, strategy-related services, or risk-related services.

Abstract: Pre-connected analyte sensors are provided. A pre-connected analyte sensor includes a sensor carrier attached to an analyte sensor. The sensor carrier includes a substrate configured for mechanical coupling of the sensor to testing, calibration, or wearable equipment. The sensor carrier also includes conductive contacts for electrically coupling sensor electrodes to the testing, calibration, or wearable equipment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for digital property authentication and management are disclosed. A document representing a trade secret may be requested to be registered with a trade secret registry. A document obfuscation value corresponding to the document may be generated and may be registered with a blockchain. A record of the registration may be generated for the trade secret registry. The registry may be searchable and/or offer functionality such as valuation, insurance provision, and/or verification, among other benefits and functionalities.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided methods, systems, mechanisms, techniques, and apparatuses for presentation of direct accessed storage under a logical drive model; for implementing a distributed architecture for cooperative NVM Data protection; data mirroring for consistent SSD latency; for boosting a controller’s performance and RAS with DIF support via concurrent RAID processing; for implementing arbitration and resource schemes of a doorbell mechanism, including doorbell arbitration for fairness and prevention of attack congestion; and for implementing multiple interrupt generation using a messaging unit and NTB in a controller through use of an interrupt coalescing scheme.

Abstract: A vessel for carrying an RV (recreational vehicle) through the water, thereby effectively converting the RV to a houseboat. The barge-like vessel includes ramps for loading and unloading an RV at a boat ramp. The barge is powered by the drive wheels of the RV, wherein the drive wheels are each resting on two rotatable cylinders similar to a dynamometer cradle. The wheels spin the cylinders which in turn rotate the propellers so that the speed is controlled by the speed at which the drive wheels turn. Direction is controlled by a knob on a fly-by-wire type device which in turn controls the rudder. An alternative directional control includes two turntables onto which the front wheels rest. One of the turntables is mechanically connected to the rudder so that the steering wheel controls the rudder. Ballast tanks are provided at each side of the front and back of the barge to keep the barge level.

Abstract: A method for managing message communications includes detecting a message comprising a plurality of intended recipients and automatically initiating a forum for response communications associated with the message. The method also includes detecting response communications associated with the message and posting the response communications to the forum.
