Abstract: A method of making a colorimeter colour standard, including determining print parameters required to achieve a desired colour for the colour standard, printing the desired colour on a colour-receiving face of a first transparent piece using the determined print parameters and permanently affixing the printed first piece to a second transparent piece such that the colour-receiving face of the first transparent piece and a joining face of the second transparent piece are positioned at the interface between the first transparent piece and the second transparent piece.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, in a computer including a processor and memory, message reporting data indicating source addresses associated with email messages received by at least one receiving organization. Each source address specifies a sender of a selected one of the email messages. In the computer, outbound providers associated with the source addresses are identified. In the computer, the source addresses are classified based on the identified outbound providers. In the computer, the source addresses are aggregated based on the classification. In the computer, a report is generated including the aggregated source addresses.

Abstract: Systems and methods for use in scheduling processes for execution on one or more data processors. A centralized governor module manages scheduling processes requesting access to one or more data processors. Each process is associated with a project and each project is allocated a computing budget. Once a process has been scheduled, a cost for that scheduling is subtracted from the associated projects computing budget. Each process is also associated with a specific process agent that, when requested by the governor module, provides the necessary data and parameters for the process. The governor module can thus implement multiple scheduling algorithms based on changing conditions and on optimizing changing loss functions. A log module logs all data relating to the scheduling as well as the costs, execution time, and utilization of the various data processors. The data in the logs can thus be used for analyzing the effectiveness of various scheduling algorithms.

Abstract: A system for processing DMARC report data includes a computer configured to collect and process DMARC reports and store aggregated data from the DMARC reports for a domain in a database schema. The computer is configured to store the aggregated data by aggregating a selected number of primary group values, subaggregating by a selected number of group values, linking aggregate sources to forensic sources to find matches, looking up records, and storing configuration issues. The computer is configured to display a user interface that allows for end users to understand DMARC report data and provide administration ability to review and manage Outbound Email Sources.

Abstract: There is described a computer-implemented method for proactively increasing a satisfaction of a customer, comprising: receiving information about a given customer; identifying patterns of disruptive events associated with a risk factor; using the information about the given customer, associating the given customer to a given one of the identified patterns; determining a given action configured for increasing the satisfaction of the given customer, the given action being determined based on the given one of the identified patterns, the given action being one of an action to be performed and a proposed action of which a performance is to be inhibited; and outputting the action.

Abstract: A platform and methods to collect, process, aggregate, display, and trigger or signal actions for DMARC report data to improve the way computers operate with respect to email. The platform includes the following functionalities: (a) A DMARC report ingestion mechanism to collect and process DMARC reports; (b) A database schema to store aggregated data from DMARC reports for a domain; (c) A user interface that allows for end users to understand DMARC report data; (d) Administration ability to review and manage Outbound Email Sources; (e) A method to automatically adjust DMARC and SPF records based on DMARC data; and (f) A method to elicit and generate threat sources and signatures.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and a method of searching for information in a database using a query. In the method, it comprises the steps of: disambiguating the query to identify keyword senses associated with the query; disambiguating information in the database according to the keyword senses; indexing the information in the database according to the keyword senses; expanding the keyword senses to include relevant semantic synonyms for the keyword senses to create a list of expanded keyword senses; searching the database to find relevant information for the query using the expanded keyword senses; and providing search results of the included information containing the keyword senses and other semantically related words senses. The system comprises modules which disambiguate queries and information and indexes the information in a database of word senses.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for processing natural language text utilizing disambiguation components to identify a disambiguated sense for the text. For the method, it comprises applying a selection of the components to the text to identify a local disambiguated sense for the text. Each component provides a local disambiguated sense of the text with a confidence score and a probability score. The disambiguated sense is determined utilizing a selection of local disambiguated senses. The invention also relates to a system and method for generating sense-tagged text.
