  • Patent number: 12464022
    Abstract: Security compliance may be facilitated for multiple endpoints associated with a network. Multiple batch endpoint assessments may be performed. Each batch endpoint assessment of the multiple batch endpoint assessments may include receiving multiple status indicators associated with at least a subset of endpoints of the multiple endpoints. For each batch endpoint assessment of the multiple batch endpoint assessments, a status may be assigned to each endpoint of the multiple endpoints based on the plurality of status indicators. A state may be generated for each endpoint of the multiple endpoints based on the statuses assigned to the multiple endpoints.

  • Publication number: 20250238407
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to deduplication operations in a storage system. An example includes selecting a comparison window in a first manifest of a deduplication storage system, where the comparison window comprises multiple data units and includes a corrupt string. The example also includes identifying multiple manifests, determining match scores for the manifests based on matching against the comparison window, and identifying multiple repair strings based on the match scores. The example also includes recording the corrupt string and the multiple repair strings in a first entry of a repair string data structure, and repairing the corrupt string in the first manifest using at least one of the multiple repair strings.

  • Publication number: 20250077356
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to deduplication operations in a storage system. An example includes identifying a corrupt data unit included in a first snapshot; identifying a first manifest that references the corrupt data unit; identifying, based on the first manifest, a first container index that indexes the corrupt data unit; determining, based on the first container index, a set of candidate manifests; identifying, in the set of candidate manifests, a second manifest having a highest match score with respect to a first portion of the first manifest; and in response to a determination that the identified second manifest having the highest match score does not reference the corrupt data unit, replacing in the first manifest a reference to a corrupt data unit with a reference to a non-corrupt data unit referenced in the identified second manifest.

  • Patent number: 12028204
    Abstract: A method of identification and remediation of a mass event in a managed network. The method includes receiving a first report of an event occurring at a first endpoint of the managed network. In response, a first action is performed. The first action being initiated based on a repeating event trigger not being triggered. The method includes receiving a second report of the event occurring at a second endpoint. In response, the method includes determining whether a threshold that triggers the repeating event trigger is exceeded. The threshold being indicative of a mass event in the managed network. Responsive to the threshold being exceeded, the method includes triggering the repeating event trigger and performing a second automated resolution action in the managed network. The second action being different from the first action. Responsive to the threshold not being exceeded, the method includes performing the first action at the second endpoint.

  • Publication number: 20200332999
    Abstract: A high turn down ratio flare tip assembly, that allows for both low and high flowrate and pressure flows using a single flare. The flare assembly comprising a nozzle tube connected to the waste stream fuel inlet at one end. The other end of the flare tip assembly providing a seat for a conical structure with flow through orifices/ports that allow the waste stream to flow therethrough during low pressure operation. The conical structure connected to one end of a connecting rod, the connecting rod extending longitudinally downward through the nozzle tube and connected to a spring assembly. The flare tip assembly is designed to allow low flow and pressure to pass through the cone orifices, and during high flow and pressure operation, the cone is unseated from the nozzle tube, allowing the waste stream to flow therethrough. The flare tip assembly also includes a slotted/holed shroud that allows for smokeless combustion of the waste stream during high flow and pressure conditions.
