  • Patent number: 10163298
    Abstract: A wagering game system and its operations are described herein. In some embodiments, the operations can include detecting that one or more wearable computers are within a proximity range to a wagering game machine. In some examples, the operations further include determining one or more characteristics associated with the one or more wearable computers in response to the detecting that the one or more wearable computers are within the proximity range to the wagering game machine. In some examples, the operations further include providing a feature associated with a wagering game based on the one or more characteristics of the one or more wearable computers.

  • Publication number: 20180316691
    Abstract: An endpoint computer system monitors data relating to a plurality of events occurring within an operating environment of the endpoint computer system. The monitoring can include receiving and/or inferring the data using one or more sensors executing on the endpoint computer system. The endpoint computer system can store artifacts used in connection with the plurality of events in a vault maintained on such endpoint computer system. The endpoint computer system, in response to a trigger, identifies and retrieves metadata characterizing artifacts associated with the trigger from the vault. Such identified and retrieved metadata is then provided by the endpoint computer system to a remote server.

  • Publication number: 20180316708
    Abstract: Each of a plurality of endpoint computer systems monitors data relating to a plurality of events occurring within an operating environment of the corresponding endpoint computer system. The monitoring can include receiving and/or inferring the data using one or more sensors executing on the endpoint computer systems Thereafter, for each endpoint computer system, artifacts used in connection with the events are stored in a vault maintained on such endpoint computer system. A query is later received by at least a subset of the plurality of endpoint computer systems from a server. Such endpoint computer systems, in response, identify and retrieve artifacts within the corresponding vaults response to the query. Results responsive to the query including or characterizing the identified artifacts is then provided by the endpoint computer systems receiving the query to the server.

  • Publication number: 20180196942
    Abstract: A plurality of events associated with each of a plurality of computing nodes that form part of a network topology are monitored. The network topology includes antivirus tools to detect malicious software prior to it accessing one of the computing nodes. Thereafter, it is determined that, using at least one machine learning model, at least one of the events is indicative of malicious activity that has circumvented or bypassed the antivirus tools. Data is then provided that characterizes the determination. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20150180039
    Abstract: The claimed invention relates to a current collector product for one or more galvanic battery cells. Currently, the metal considered as current collector for the negative electrode is copper. Some of the disadvantages of copper are that it is a rare, heavy and expensive element. To alleviate at least some of the problems of the prior art battery cells, at least part of the current collector electrode supporting portion is composed of pure iron or an iron alloy with less than 10 percent by weight of impurities or alloying constituents. The claimed invention also relates to a galvanic, lithium or sodium, battery cell and to a method for producing a current collector product.

  • Patent number: 5303985
    Abstract: A structure for a housing for an axle assembly and method for manufacturing same is disclosed. The housing includes a tube which is formed by casting. The tube is cast having a brake flange, a spring seat, a shock absorber pad, and an outer end for mounting wheel bearings, all of which are integrally formed therewith. The tube is generally hollow and cylindrical in shape, but is formed having an outer circumferential surface which is generally circular in shape and an inner circumferential surface which is generally oval in shape. Thus, the wall thickness of the tube is not uniform about the circumference thereof. Rather, the wall thicknesses of the upper and lower portions of the tube are somewhat greater than the wall thicknesses of the side portions thereof. The wall thicknesses of the upper and lower portions of the tube are sized to accommodate vertically oriented loads induced therein which are generally larger than horizontally oriented loads which are normally encountered in use.

  • Patent number: 4789608
    Abstract: A pressure venting device for a battery casing includes two semi-circular concavities extending upwardly from the bottom surface of the casing, two oppositely disposed bridges interrupting the concavities and two weakening or score lines disposed laterally and offset from the bridges. Since the score lines are formed in a flat area of the bottom surface of the battery casing, venting will occur consistently at a predetermined pressure range.
