  • Publication number: 20240414174
    Abstract: An asynchronous stream of security events is added to a data lake for enterprise security by identifying groups of related events related to a security threat, and creating rules to fold these related events into a single security event along with metadata. The folding rules may then be applied to security events in the event stream to compress data in the data lake and improve detection efficiency.

  • Patent number: 12138174
    Abstract: A surgical implant for total wrist replacement (TWR) includes a carpal portion and a radial portion to fully encompass both sides of the articulated joint defining wrist movement. The carpal portion is defined by a unitary structure that defines a fused form of the scaphoid, lunate and triquetrum, and bears against the radial portion for permitting articulated motion. The radial portion replaces a distal portion of the natural radius adjacent the wrist, and has the form of a “T” to combine a bearing surface with a stem adapted for implantation in the natural radius. The stem engages a receptacle or bore formed in a truncated end of the natural radius. Both the radial portion and the carpal portion patient-specific members are formed from image scans of the patient's own skeletal structures, and incorporate inverted, contralateral images of healthy structure based on an assessment of deformation in the replaced joint.

  • Patent number: 12132746
    Abstract: A threat management facility receives data from a variety of sources such as compute instances within an enterprise network, cloud service providers supporting the enterprise network, and third-party data providers such as geolocation services. In order to facilitate prompt notification of potential risks, the threat management facility may incrementally update data for use in threat assessments as the data becomes available from these different sources, and create suitable alerts or notifications whenever the currently accumulated data provides an indication of threat meeting a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 12128414
    Abstract: An automated method for performing an assay of the present disclosure can be performed in a microfluidic device that is a lateral flow device having numerous features to ensure correct operation of the device under gravity, such as vent pockets for enabling the flow of sample fluid from one chamber to the next when the vent pocket is unsealed. Each chamber can have a reagent recess proximal to an inlet end of the chamber. A reagent pellet formed in a reagent recess can be effectively mixed with a sample as the sample flows into the chamber. A flexible circuit with patterned metallic electrical components disposed on a heat stable material can be in direct contact with fluid in the chambers and has resistive heating elements aligned with, for example, a chamber for performing an amplification reaction.

  • Patent number: 12101334
    Abstract: A threat management system stores an attack matrix characterizing tactics and techniques, and provides threat detection based on patterns of traversal of the attack matrix. Where the threat management system provides a data lake of security events and a query interface for using the data lake to investigate security issues, useful inferences may also be drawn by comparing query activity in the query interface with the patterns of traversal of the attack matrix, such as by using a malicious pattern of traversal to identify a concurrent chain of queries indicative of a threat, or by presenting separate threat scores to an analyst based on query activity and patterns of traversal.
