  • Publication number: 20250045426
    Abstract: A computerized method analyzes permissions and identifies permission insights. A group of event records is obtained from a data source and a subgroup of event records associated with a user is identified in the obtained group of event records. The identified subgroup of event records is mapped to a group of required permissions using a permission hierarchy and a group of granted permissions of the user are identified. It is determined that the group of granted permissions of the user differs from the group of required permissions to which the subgroup of event records is mapped using the permission hierarchy. A permission insight action is performed based on determining that the group of granted permissions of the user differs from the group of required permissions. Thus, the method enables comprehensive analysis of permissions using data from multiple data sources to generate a single set of possible permission issues or insights.

  • Publication number: 20240002994
    Abstract: A metallic material with a first microstructure is coated in a bath with a coating to form a coated metallic material. The coating has a liquidus temperature and the bath has an operating temperature that is higher than the liquidus temperature. The first microstructure of the metallic material is altered by the application of the coating to an alternative microstructure. The coating includes a dopant which acts as a temperature reducing agent.

  • Publication number: 20210180172
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a coated substrate material. The substrate can be a steel alloy and the microstructure in the steel alloy can be altered with a low temperature coating process. The present invention also relates to a method to coat the substrate at the low temperature. The present invention also relates to a coating wherein the melting temperature of the coating is reduced with a dopant compared to the melting temperature without the dopant. The present invention also relates to a method to make the coating with the dopant.

  • Publication number: 20160312323
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of medium manganese steels for hot stamping to produce ultra high strength steel blanks with improved residual ductility of hot formed steels (as compared to boron-added steels such as 22MnB5 grade). The medium manganese steel sheets require much lower processing temperatures (<700° C. vs. >900° C.) prior to forming operation, allowing reduction of energy consumption during manufacturing.

  • Publication number: 20060011274
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing steel with retained austenite. In one embodiment, the process comprises the steps of heating a steel alloy to produce austenite, quenching the steel to produce martensite, and carbon partitioning to transfer carbon from the martensite to the austenite.

  • Patent number: 4204673
    Abstract: Exercising devices include rotatable treads and arm supports for using both the arms and the legs, and some of the exercising devices, particularly of the treadmill type having continuous treads, are for the exercise of the legs in a walking manner and position, but in a static condition. All of the treadmill exercisers have a unitary frame having two treadmills with two continuous treads, one for each foot, and may have corresponding, separate, coordinated hand or arm exercising functions due to moveable hand braces.

  • Patent number: 4027975
    Abstract: A scanning monochromator or spectrometer having a reflecting grating whose curvature in the meridian plane is equal to the curvature of a circle upon which the source, detecting means and grating lie and whose lines are ruled with a frequency which varies systematically and directly in proportion to the distance of the lines from a point of origin on the track as determined by the geometry of the equipment, and gratings therefor.
