  • Publication number: 20260058955
    Abstract: In some examples, systems and methods for presenting access information are provided. For example, a method includes: receiving an indication of an entity, the entity being associated with one or more resource entities and one or more access entities; determining one or more permission relationships and one or more member relationships associated with the entity; generating the access graph representing the one or more permission relationships and the one or more member relationships, the access graph including a first set of nodes representing the one or more resource entities and a second set of nodes representing the one or more access entities, the access graph further including a first set of edges representing the one or more permission relationships connected to the first set of nodes and a second set of edges representing the one or more member relationships connected to the second set of nodes.

  • Publication number: 20250371182
    Abstract: In some examples, systems and methods for checking data access are provided. For example, a method includes: receiving a checking request about a user, the checking request including a user identifier of the user and a resource indication of a resource; determining one or more components referenced by the resource; for each component of the one or more components referenced by the resource, determining permission information indicating whether the user access to at least a part of the one or more components; and determining permission information indicating whether the user is permitted to access the resource.

  • Publication number: 20250337747
    Abstract: In some examples, systems and methods for managing access control to one or more resources are provided. An example method includes receiving a permission request for a user to access the one or more resources, generating an access request based at least in part on the permission request, notifying one or more reviewers to review the access request, receiving an indication of the access request being approved, and automatically granting permission to the user to access the one or more resources.

  • Publication number: 20250335847
    Abstract: In some examples, systems and methods for managing task approvals are provided. An example method includes receiving a task identifier for a task that is requested to be approved, and one or more subtasks decomposed from the task, and generating a task request including a task request identifier. In some examples, the task request is associated with the task, the task request identifier corresponds to the task identifier, and each subtask of the one or more subtasks of the task corresponds to one or more approval policies. In some examples, the method further includes: determining, for each subtask of the one or more subtasks of the task, whether the one or more approval policies are satisfied, in response to determining that, for each subtask of the one or more subtasks of the task, the one or more approval policies are satisfied, approving the task, and outputting an indication of the approval.

  • Publication number: 20240249635
    Abstract: iFormative Feedback (iFF) is an electronic formative feedback acquisition and analytics system which leverages mobile technology, QR codes, and web-based dashboards to provide users with meaningful, real-time, 360-degree assessments of performance. iFF is designed to record the spirit of a user's observations without increasing the administrative burden of data entry, security, collation, interpretation, and dissemination. Through iFF, organizations can efficiently track individual performance through downstream (supervisor to supervisee) and upstream (supervisee to supervisor) analyses of standardized observations recorded in the system.

  • Patent number: 11858238
    Abstract: Methods for forming multi-layer substrates including top and bottom surface layers and a melt softened thermoplastic material layer between the exterior surface layers, where the thermoplastic material includes polyethylene or has a tan delta value of 0.2 to 0.4 within the temperature range of 100° F.-350° F. The 3 (or more) layers are assembled, and heated, melt softening the thermoplastic material, causing bonding of the thermoplastic layer to the exterior surface layers. A cleaning composition may be loaded onto the multi-layer substrate, where a fluid pathway through the melted thermoplastic material allows the cleaning composition to travel between the surface layers. Adhesion between the surface layers and the thermoplastic layer is provided by the thermoplastic material itself, which bonds to groups of fibers in the surface layers. The process does not require chemical adhesives, any processing water, drying, or the like, so as to be possible with low capital investment.

  • Patent number: 11826989
    Abstract: Multi-layer substrates comprising a top surface layer of pulp fibers, a bottom surface layer of pulp fibers, and a melted thermoplastic material layer between the pulp fiber layers, where the thermoplastic material comprises polyethylene or has a tan delta value of 0.2 to 0.4 within the temperature range of 100° F. to 350° F. The multi-layer substrate can include a cleaning composition loaded onto the multi-layer substrate, where a fluid pathway through the melted thermoplastic material allows the cleaning composition to travel from the top surface layer to the bottom surface layer. The multi-layer substrate may be void of chemical adhesives, where adhesion between the top surface layer and the thermoplastic layer, and between the bottom surface layer and the thermoplastic layer is instead provided by the thermoplastic material itself, which bonds to groups of fibers in the pulp fibers top and bottom surface layers that are in contact with the thermoplastic material as it melts.

  • Patent number: 10645967
    Abstract: Packaged aerated acidified food compositions (e.g., aerated dips, sauces, etc.) having a low density (e.g., 0.4 to 0.8 g/cm3) due to incorporation of gas bubbles (e.g., nitrogen or air) within an aerated matrix. In addition to the aerated matrix the composition further includes a relatively high fraction of oil (e.g., as an oil/water emulsion). The compositions are shelf-stable, so as to exhibit microbial stability and stability with respect to the aerated low density “whipped” texture, without requiring refrigeration. The composition includes the aerating gas (e.g., nitrogen or air), a protein (e.g., soy or dairy), a stabilizer (e.g., a hydrocolloid, a cyclodextrin, a monoglyceride, and/or a diglyceride), oil, water, an emulsifier, and a food grade acid. Flavors, spices, and other components may be included.

  • Publication number: 20180271134
    Abstract: Packaged emulsified food compositions (e.g., salad dressings including an oil/water emulsion) including a probiotic, which may be included therein, without requiring heating during packaging, and without requiring refrigeration for long term shelf stability. The probiotic may be sporeforming. In an embodiment the probiotic comprises spores which do not germinate until ingested by a consumer (e.g., such that the spores germinate in the intestinal tract of the consumer). The probiotic may comprise Bacillus coagulans spores, which may be added to the emulsion following addition of an acid. The salad dressing or other food composition advantageously can be cold packed, requiring no heating during manufacture, and no refrigeration after packaging, all while providing stability of 1 year or more.

  • Publication number: 20180192681
    Abstract: Packaged food compositions including but not limited to emulsified salad dressings (e.g., an oil/water emulsion) that contain calcium carbonate and phosphoric acid. Under conditions present in the salad dressing, the calcium carbonate reacts with the phosphoric acid to form surface modified calcium carbonate particles that dissolve over the shelf-life of the salad dressing to slowly release CO2 into the emulsion, resulting in a whipped, bodied texture for the salad dressing within the bottle or other container.
