Abstract: A system includes a memory and processor. The memory stores code segment vulnerability findings that were generated through static application security testing (SAST). The processor generates a code fingerprint for each code segment, which corresponds to an abstract syntax tree that has been augmented by data flow information and flattened. The processor applies a machine learning clustering algorithm to group the code fingerprints into clusters of fingerprints that share one or more features. The processor additionally determines that both the fingerprint corresponding to the first source code segment and the fingerprint corresponding to a second source code segment belong to the same cluster. In response, the processor transmits an alert to a device of an administrator, identifying the second code segment as vulnerable to a real vulnerability, where a vulnerability finding for the first code segment has been classified as the real vulnerability through external review.

Abstract: A system includes a memory and processor. The memory stores code segment vulnerability findings that were generated through static application security testing (SAST). For a first code segment, a first vulnerability finding has been classified as a real vulnerability, and a second vulnerability finding has been classified as a false positive by external review. The processor generates a code fingerprint for each code segment, which corresponds to an abstract syntax tree that has been augmented by data flow information and flattened. The processor determines that the fingerprint for the first code segment matches the fingerprint for a second code segment and that the vulnerability findings for the first code segment match those for the second. In response, the processor automatically classifies a matching first vulnerability finding for the second code segment as the real vulnerability, and a matching second vulnerability finding for the second code segment as the false positive.

Abstract: There is disclosed a membrane formulation having high flux for forward osmosis applications. There is disclosed a forward osmosis filtration membrane having a salt rejection 99+% or greater, and comprising an asymmetric hydrophobic porous backing and cellulosic fibers. The membranes of the present invention find use in a variety of applications including osmotic-driven water purification and filtration, desalination of sea water, purification of contaminated aqueous waste streams, and the like. Specifically, there is disclosed a forward osmosis filtration membrane having a skin layer for salt rejection and a porous scaffold layer having a woven or non-woven mesh embedded within it.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process and device for Forward Osmosis (FO) Pressurized Device (FOPD) in general and one hydraulically coupled to a reverse osmosis (RO device for a FOPRO (Forward Osmosis Pressurized Reverse Osmosis). Specifically, there is disclosed a passive device (that is, not needed energy input) for using forward osmosis to generate significant hydraulic pressure that can be used to drive a reverse osmosis process, wherein the reverse osmosis process (not needed external energy to run pumps) can separate salt from salt water to generate potable water from water with high salt content (such as sea water, urine, sweat, brackish water and the like).

Abstract: There is disclosed a hydration bag for providing potable or even sterile water from contaminated water sources. Specifically, there is disclosed two embodiments of a passive membrane osmotic device. The first embodiment has an interior space sealed with one or two membrane walls, having an osmotic agent formulation within the interior space, and having direct osmotic concentration properties. The second embodiment has a sealable nutrient/osmotic agent chamber with a spiral wound membrane wrapped around the nutrient/osmotic agent chamber to form the membrane element, wherein the membrane element is located within a sealable dirty water compartment or within a dirty water source and wherein the membrane element communicates with a clean water compartment. More specifically, the osmotic agent or nutrient can be a partially dehydrated food source, a sugar, a medicine, or combinations thereof.
