Abstract: This invention discloses a system and methods for defeating a so-called man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. An electronic instruction to collect specified distinctive identifiers from a local/mobile computing device seeking access to a first network website, is generated by said first network website and that electronic instruction is assigned a unique onetime identification token. Said electronic instruction with said unique onetime identification token is transmitted by said first network website to said local/mobile computing device. Said unique onetime identification token is also maintained in a database of unique onetime identification tokens resident on said first network website. In addition, said unique onetime identification token is sent to a secondary network website, where it is also stored in a database of unique onetime identification tokens. Said unique onetime identification token may also contain a time expiration value which defines the validity period for said unique transaction identifier.

A method for controlling the electric submersible pump during the transient power interruption includes connecting a variable speed drive to a power source, charging one or more rechargeable batteries within the power backup, and connecting the power backup to the variable speed drive. The method continues with the steps of operating the motor with the variable speed drive, detecting a disruption in AC power from the power source to the variable speed drive, and applying power from the power backup to the variable speed drive to operate the motor during the transient interruption in electrical power.

Abstract: An approach for altering alter training data and training process associated with a neural network to emulate environmental noise and operational instrument error by using the concepts of shots to sample within a squeezed space model, wherein shots are an uncertainty index that is the average of all shots from a sampling, is disclosed. The approach leverages a squeeze theorem to create a squeezed space model based on the regression of the upper and lower bound associated with the environmental noise and instrument error. The approach calculates an average noise index based on the squeezed space model, wherein the index is used to alter the training data and process.

Abstract: The present invention describes the creation and use of a hybrid password used to gain access to a password protected online website. The hybrid password is a method whereby an online website, acting as a portal for access to password-protected websites, programmatically generates and stores a base password in the online website portal. A base password is then combined with a secondary password or PIN that is generated by the account owner and known only to the account owner. Together the base password and account owner's PIN form the hybrid password, and becomes the complete password required to provide access to said password protected website. The account owner's password or PIN is not stored in the online website portal and is known only to said account owner.
