  • Patent number: 12265637
    Abstract: The exemplary embodiments provide an improved approach to preventing exfiltration through email messages. The exemplary embodiments process outbound email messages to determine whether an outbound email message contains sensitive subject matter based on contextual information. The determination may be made based at least in part on the context reflected in the contextual information. In the exemplary embodiments, the determination of whether an outbound email message contains sensitive subject matter that should not be exfiltrated may be based at least in part on analysis performed by a trained neural network model.

  • Patent number: 12254386
    Abstract: Logic may adjust communications between customers. Logic may cluster customers into a first group associated with a first subset of synonyms and a second group associated with a second subset of the synonyms. Logic may associate a first tag with the first group and with each of the synonyms of the first subset. Logic may associate a second tag with the second group and with each of the synonyms of the second subset. Logic may associate one or more models with pairs of the groups. A first pair may comprise the first group and the second group. The first model associated with the first pair may adjust words in communications between the first group and the second group, based on the synonyms associated with the first pair, by replacement of words in a communication between customers of the first subset and customers of the second subset.

  • Patent number: 12248932
    Abstract: In the disclosed transaction processing system, a system and method are described that increase the ease of access and use of different currency networks by consumers using customizable transaction devices. The customizable transaction devices may be re-programmed prior to or during a currency transaction in accordance with the consensus protocol of the currency network associated with the currency transaction. The currency network further includes one or more host devices, each of which include an interface configured to communicate with a transaction device for the purposes of re-programming a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) of the transaction device according to one or more currency network consensus protocols. Optimizing the performance of transaction devices for proof-of-work or other consensus protocol processing decreases the latency associated with validating currency network transactions, thereby increasing the suitability of cryptocurrency for retail transactions.

    Abstract: A combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a combustor shell extending along a shell axis. The combustor shell includes a shell wall extending around the shell axis and a meter panel connected to an upstream end of the shell wall. The shell wall and the meter panel together define a combustion space therebetween. The combustor assembly further includes: a tile disposed within the combustor shell and including a tile flange portion extending radially with respect to the shell axis; a heatshield connected to the meter panel and extending at least radially towards the tile; a fastener connecting the tile flange portion to the meter panel; and a compartment thermally shielded from the combustion space. Either the heatshield and the tile together form the compartment or the tile alone forms the compartment. The fastener is spaced apart from the combustion space and at least partially disposed within the compartment.

  • Publication number: 20240100496
    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a riser may be operated by a method including repeatedly heating and cooling a riser between an operational temperature and a non-operational temperature. When the riser is heated from a non-operational temperature to an operational temperature, the riser undergoes thermal expansion. When the riser is cooled from an operational temperature to a non-operational temperature, the riser undergoes thermal contraction. The riser undergoes irreversible growth over repeated heating and cooling cycles, and the length of a lower section of an upper riser portion is sized to accommodate the irreversible growth from cycled thermal expansion of the riser.

  • Publication number: 20240034700
    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, olefins may be produced by contacting a hydrocarbon feed stream with a particulate solid in a reaction vessel. The reaction vessel may be connected to a riser. The riser may extend through a riser port of an outer shell of a particulate solid separation section such that the riser may comprise an interior riser segment and an exterior riser segment. The particulate solid separation section may include a gas outlet port, a riser port, and a particulate solid outlet port. The particulate solid separation section may house a gas/solids separation device and a solid particulate collection area. The riser port may be positioned on a sidewall of the outer shell such that it is not located on a central vertical axis of the particulate solid separation section. The particulate solid may be separated from an olefin-containing product stream in the gas/solids separation device.
