    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for processing personally identifiable information (PII). The techniques may include accessing a log data storage that stores log data, wherein the log data is structured into multiple dimensions; isolating a partition of the log data in the log data storage, wherein the partition is associated with one dimension of the multiple dimensions and is associated with a first characterization of presence or absence of PII in the partition; processing, using a machine-learning (ML) based classifier and based on a model, the partition to generate a second characterization of presence or absence of PII in the partition; comparing the first characterization against the second characterization; and based on a result of the comparison, performing one or more actions.

  • Publication number: 20060150831
    Abstract: An electric food marinating apparatus capable of automatically marinating foods quicker and more effectively than traditional prior art methods by circulating chilled marinade in a closed loop circuit. A removable marinating vessel for containing food is adapted for continuous rotation about a vertical axis. The marinating vessel defines a generally open top and a bottom defining a strainer outlet in communication a marinade reservoir for receiving marinade in a closed loop flow path. An electric motor has an output shaft connected to the marinade reservoir to rotate the marinating vessel. A peristaltic pump housed within the base is configured with an inlet in fluid communication with the marinade reservoir and a spray outlet disposed proximal the top of the rotating marinating vessel.
