  • Patent number: 10679141
    Abstract: An identity and access management IAM system is augmented to provide for supervised, iterative machine learning (ML), preferably with a user-generated training set for classification. The training set may include various types of data, including characteristics or attributes of the account types, the users, or the like. A goal of the initial ML training, which may include one or multiple passes, is to enable the machine to identify specific characteristics or attributes that provide a good classification result, with the resulting classifications then applied within the IAM system. In particular, the output of the ML system may be used by the IAM system for enforcing rights associated with the identified accounts, managing accounts, and so forth.

  • Publication number: 20200115057
    Abstract: A cart bay for an aircraft galley structure includes a housing defined by interior surfaces and capable of housing one or more removable galley carts in a secured position. Chilled air is introduced into the cart bay through a plenum of inlet to maintain perishable contents of the galley cart at a safe temperature. The side walls of the cart bay include rubstrip assemblies for guiding the galley carts in and out of the bay, absorbing impact and noise. The rubstrip assemblies may include a corrugated carrier layer behind a solid rubstrip; the corrugated carrier layer includes apertures for controlling and directing the flow of chilled air along the side walls to maximize the exterior surfaces of the galley carts reachable by the chilled air, separating the galley carts from the side walls and allowing chilled air to reach the side exterior surfaces of the galley carts via the apertures.

  • Publication number: 20190362595
    Abstract: An electronic gaming machine includes a memory device, and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory device. When executed, the instructions cause the processor to at least present a wagering game, and determine a game state of the wagering game, where the game state is one of a plurality of possible game states of the wagering game. The instructions also cause the processor to determine a game state identifier associated with the game state and register the game state identifier with a player account of a player of the wagering game to enable restoration of the wagering game to the game state using the player account.

  • Publication number: 20190316425
    Abstract: A carrier system may be used to position a wireline tool within a wellbore. The system includes a wireline tool carrier disposed on the end of a coiled tubing string. The wireline carrier tool includes a tubular member and stabilizers which secure the wireline tool within an internal passageway of the tubular member. The internal passageway defines a fluid flow path which facilitates fluid communication between the coiled tubing string and any device or wellbore portion below the wireline tool carrier. As the system is advanced within the wellbore fluid is conveyed around the wireline tool through the fluid flow path to remove obstructions that would otherwise inhibit the placement of the wireline tool within a deviated wellbore. Fluid conveyed through the system and around the wireline tool may also be used to perform various well stimulation and intervention functions.

  • Publication number: 20190296972
    Abstract: One or more nodes on a network can perform network discovery operations to obtain information regarding network configuration parameters for the nodes on the network. The network configuration data can be compared and used to determine if there are mismatches between the various node's configurations. A mismatch can indicate that a node is misconfigured, which can result in significant degradation in performance of the node or of the network system as a whole. The network configuration data can be used to automatically resolve errors in configuration or to provide reports on potential errors in configuration. Additionally, the network configuration data that is discovered by a node can be used to establish an initial configuration for the node.

  • Patent number: 10425120
    Abstract: A signal isolation control apparatus for controlling duplexing of signals to be transmitted through and received from an antenna. The apparatus includes a transmitter chain tap input for coupling to a transmitter chain. An auxiliary transmitter chain is operably coupled to the transmitter chain tap input for processing a transitory signal tapped from the transmitter chain, the auxiliary transmitter chain including an adaptive filter unit and a balance node output for operably coupling to a balance node of a hybrid junction. The adaptive filter unit has a signal leakage monitoring input for operably coupling to an output node of the hybrid junction. The auxiliary transmitter chain is arranged to process the tapped transitory signal in order to generate and apply an isolation signal at the balance node output for maximizing isolation of an output node of the hybrid junction from an input node of the hybrid junction.
