  • Patent number: 11468101
    Abstract: Various implementations provide a Context-Rich Key (“CRK”) Framework for managing computing, networking, concepts, and context from human and system-of-systems perspectives. The CRK Framework provides an environment for defining and implementing interoperability models for collections of distributed applications and/or systems within a digital culture, and for managing concepts between digital cultures. In some implementations, a digital processing system receives a global request, e.g. for information related to a target concept. In some implementations, if the digital processing system has access to data relevant to the target concept, the digital processing system identifies an appropriate local object. In some implementations, the digital processing system then processes the global request to generate and initiate or run a local action. Upon initiation of the local action, local action results are generated.

  • Patent number: 11010674
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for implementing axiomatic control of an automorphic dynamical system. An automorphic system architecture for a dynamical system may apply ergodic techniques for axiomatically describing networked computing environments of vast dimensions comprised of a plurality of disparate information resources, processors, memory, storage, analog and digital sensors (as examples) and presenting this plurality of information sources as a singular automorphic resource through a time series. An example system may further implement dynamic axiomatic control and modification of operational parameters, without human intervention, incorporating data from a variety of sources and platforms and over multiple dimensions of context associated with those data.

  • Publication number: 20170220799
    Abstract: Various implementations provide a framework for behavior-based network management and monitoring. A behavior model including various expected behaviors, actions, and actors may be associated with a digital culture. Behavior within a digital culture that does not conform to the behavior model may be detected and categorized. When an abnormal behavior is categorized as malicious, a security protocol or procedure may be activated. In other cases, abnormal behavior may be categorized as benign. A CRK framework of concepts, actors, actions, etc. may provide a platform enabling implementation of behavior-based network management and monitoring.

  • Publication number: 20140318404
    Abstract: A long-range precision firearm cartridge case including a cylindrical body portion with a head end and an opposite end, the cylindrical body portion having a central aperture extending into the head end for receipt of a primer, and the cylindrical body portion having a cartridge extraction groove formed around the periphery of the body portion adjacent the head end. The case including a cylindrical neck portion and a frusto-conical shoulder portion integrally formed with the body portion and the neck portion. The shoulder portion tapers radially inwardly from the opposite end of the body portion to the cylindrical neck portion. The neck portion extends longitudinally from the shoulder portion to define a projectile receiving end. The frusto-conical shoulder portion is constructed to form a shoulder angle with a longitudinal axis of the body portion, the shoulder angle being greater than 30 degrees and no greater than ninety degrees.
