Patent number: 10574658Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a memory, storing processor-executable instructions, blacklist terms, and credential dump records, and a processor. The processor receives repository data from targeted remote repositories and stores the repository data as a potential credential dump in the memory when the repository data includes a credential dump attribute. The processor stores the potential credential dump as a probable credential dump when the potential credential dump does not include a blacklist term, in which case the processor also detects a format and delimiter of the probable credential dump. Based on the format and delimiter, pairs of usernames and associated passwords are identified and hashed. If a percentage of the hashes not associated with the credential dump records exceeds a predetermined threshold, the probable credential dump is deemed authentic.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Lookingglass Cyber Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Steven Weinstein, Jason Lewis, Douglas Parker

Patent number: 10187430Abstract: In some implementations, a network daemon can manage access to a mobile device's network interface. The network daemon (e.g., network connection managing process) can monitor the condition of the mobile device's network connection on one or more interfaces. The network daemon can monitor many conditions on the mobile device. The network daemon can receive background networking requests from network clients (e.g., processes, applications) that specify criteria for initiating a network connection. The network daemon can then smartly manage network connections taking into account network conditions, mobile device conditions and/or client criteria received in the client request. This can help reduce battery life impact, memory usage, likelihood of call drops, data usage cost, and load on network operators.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2013Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Amit K. Vyas, Joshua V. Graessley, John Iarocci, Darren Litzinger, Andrew C. Lam, Ray Ling Chang, Steven Douglas Parker, Justin Wood, Matthew Scott Klahn, Daniel B. Pollack

Patent number: 9238618Abstract: Processes for the production of polyols from sources such as dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) make use of a two-stage reaction scheme. In the first stage, the proteinaceous starting material is reacted with an aminating agent, such as diethanolamine (DEOA), to generate amino-amides and amides. These products are then reacted with an alkoxylating agent, preferably a substituted or unsubstituted epoxide to yield polyols. These polyols may be further reacted with isocyanates to give low-cost rigid polyurethane foams. In alternate forms, lignin may be directly converted to polyols by reaction with an alkoxylating agent, optionally followed by reaction with an isocyanate to produce polyurethanes.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2014Date of Patent: January 19, 2016Assignees: MGPI Processing, Inc., Pittsburg State UniversityInventors: Sukh Bassi, Michael Douglas Parker, Mihail Ionescu, Zoran Petrovic
