Abstract: An embodiment of a system is disclosed in which a computer system may receive a sequence of failed login attempts to access a user account, and assess a risk level associated with the sequence of failed login attempts. The risk level may be assessed based on a plurality of characteristics of the sequence of failed login attempts. Based on the assessed risk level, the computer system may select a lockout policy that includes a lockout period. The computer system may determine that a lockout threshold, corresponding to a number of failed login attempts, has been reached. In response to determining that the lockout threshold has been reached, the computer system may prevent further login attempts during the lockout period. In addition, the computer system may permit subsequent login attempts after the lockout period has ended.

Abstract: A method includes receiving at a computing system empirical data related to one or more information technology entities. The method further includes receiving at the computing system one or more user experience indicators, the user experience indicators indicative of a user's experience using a computer application. The method further includes correlating by the computing system the empirical data with the one or more user experience indicators to determine a quality of service delivered to a user for a plurality of time periods. The method further includes determining by the computing system, based on the correlation, whether one or more issues with one of the one or more information technology entities are related to the quality of service delivered to the user.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of obtaining immunogenic proteins from genomic sequences including Neisseria, including the amino acid sequences and the corresponding nucleotide sequences, as well as the genomic sequence of Neisseria meningitidis B. The proteins so obtained are useful antigens for vaccines, immunogenic compositions, and/or diagnostics.

Abstract: Multiple-component integral-structure dual-test sterility indicator, method of assembling physical components, selected spores, and chemical constituents in solution, within the indicator and arranged to enable dual-evaluations of bacterial-lethality of a dry-goods load, resulting from exposure to a selected saturated-steam sterilizing cycle. The chemical constituents are formulated to chemically produce reaction-product, which is quantitatively responsive to the combined effect of cycle steam temperature and time of exposure at that temperature, for providing a promptly-available spectroscopic evaluation of bacterial-lethality. Absorption of narrow-band selected visible-light wavelength by reaction-product, if any, of chemical-constituent solution, is used to quantitatively measure that combined-effect exposure.

Abstract: A fold open display box for storing and displaying objects such as toys comprises a transparent display window or a mesh screen and a fold open case. The window may be made of plastic or cellophane paper. Additional windows, with a protective transparent material covering each of the windows, located on other sides of the fold open display box may allow a full 360 degrees view of an object in the box.
