Abstract: A hoist rope connector for a rope shovel includes a link extending between a first end and a second end. A rope attachment member is positioned adjacent the first end and configured to engage a hoist rope. A spherical coupling is positioned adjacent the second end and configured to be coupled to a dipper. The spherical coupling permits rotational movement between the second end and the dipper in multiple directions.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a requestor, a request for an on-demand identity product in relation to an identity of a consumer, the request comprising personally identifying information (PII) of the consumer. The method also includes executing, using the PII, a partial registration of the consumer for the on-demand identity product, the partial registration omitting satisfaction of at least one security requirement. The method additionally includes determining whether delayed authentication is enabled for the on-demand identity product. Moreover, the method includes, responsive to a determination that delayed authentication is enabled for the on-demand identity product: conditionally suspending the at least one security requirement; initiating provision of the on-demand identity product to the requestor; and restricting the requestor' s access to determined sensitive data resulting from the initiated provision at least until the at least one security requirement is satisfied.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a requestor, a request for an on-demand product. The method further includes determining an eligibility token format applicable to the request, wherein the eligibility token format comprises a plurality of partial segments of identifying information. The method also includes prompting the requestor to provide a plurality of partial-segment values corresponding to the plurality of partial segments. In addition, the method includes receiving the plurality of partial-segment values in response to the prompting. Moreover, the method includes generating an eligibility token from the plurality of partial-segment values. The method also includes determining the requestor's eligibility for the on-demand product based, at least in part, on a lookup of the eligibility token in an eligibility token repository. The eligibility token repository includes a plurality of eligibility tokens of the eligibility token format.

Abstract: An instrumentation analysis system processes data streams received from servers executing instrumented software. The system determines a set of servers that satisfy a given criteria, for example, a set of servers with high resource utilization. The set of servers may be determined by the system based on triggers or specified by a user. The system analyzes properties of servers to determine a property that characterizes the set of servers. The property characterizing the servers is provided to users via a user interface or alerts for further analysis, for example, to analyze the cause of high resource utilization.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes enrolling a potential enrollee for an identity-monitoring service. The enrolling includes acquiring personally-identifying information (PII) and capturing a voiceprint. Following successful completion of the enrolling, the potential enrollee is an enrollee. The method further includes, responsive to an identified suspicious event related to the PII, creating an identity alert, establishing voice communication with an individual purporting to be the enrollee, and performing voice-biometric verification of the individual. The voice-biometric verification includes comparing one or more spoken utterances with the voiceprint. Following successful completion of the voice-biometric verification, the individual is a verified enrollee. In addition, the method includes authorizing delivery of the identity alert to the verified enrollee.
