  • Patent number: 12265629
    Abstract: A vulnerability with respect to an image file in a continuous integration (CI) pipeline can be suppressed according to some aspects described herein. For example, a processor can receive an alert for the vulnerability with the CI pipeline being able to block deployment of the image file in response to the alert. Based on the alert, the processor can determine that the vulnerability of the image file is deferrable. After determining that the vulnerability is deferrable, the processor can automatically adjust a status of the vulnerability from an observed state to a deferred state. The CI pipeline can allow the deployment of the image file based on the status of the vulnerability being in the deferred state. The processor can deploy the image file in the CI pipeline after adjusting the status of the vulnerability to the deferred state.

  • Publication number: 20250027586
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the inventive subject matter are directed to components that are used to form lengths of conduit. Such a system can include a male component and a female component, where the male component has a male conical tapered surface on a threaded end and the female component comprises a female conical tapered surface on a threaded end. A B nut can be slid over the male component so a sleeve can be screwed onto the threaded end of the male component, and the B nut can then screw onto the threaded end of the female component, thereby pulling on the sleeve to bring the male component and the female component toward each other. Systems of the inventive subject matter are made from non-metal materials such as machinable ceramics, plastics, polymers, and the like.

  • Publication number: 20250011246
    Abstract: A fluidic module includes a monolithic closed-porosity ceramic body that has a first region and a second region with the first region disposed between the second region. The first and second regions are configured to differ from one another with respect to a common attribute of a ceramic material of the ceramic body. The common attribute can differ by forming the first and second regions from ceramic particles that differ with respect their particle sizes. The fluidic module further includes a tortuous fluid passage that extends through the ceramic body. The fluid passage is surrounded by the first region such that the fluid passage is separated entirely from the second region at least within a planar region of the ceramic body. The fluid passage has an interior surface with a surface roughness of less than or equal to 5 ?m Ra. A method for forming the fluidic module is disclosed.
