  • Publication number: 20240134341
    Abstract: The present application relates to systems and methods for obtaining real-time abrasion data. An example computer-implemented method could include receiving, at a computing device, sensor data from one or more sensors. The one or more sensors are disposed in proximity to an abrasive product or a workpiece associated with the abrasive product. The one or more sensors are configured to collect abrasion operational data associated with an abrasive operation involving the abrasive product or the workpiece. The computer-implemented method could further include training, based on the sensor data, a machine learning system to determine product specific information of the abrasive product and/or workpiece specific information. The computer-implemented method could also include providing the trained machine learning system using the computing device.

  • Patent number: 10609127
    Abstract: A system for providing an isolated testing model for testing the disaster recovery capabilities of a streamlined backup network backing up a primary network. The primary network provides one or more users access to critical data and critical services. The system is configured to be switched between a production mode and a test mode. When the system is in the test mode, the primary network and the streamlined backup network form a live production environment and the streamlined backup network provides the one or more users access to the critical data and the critical services in the event the primary network is unable to do so. When the system is in the test mode, the streamlined backup network is removed from the live production environment by physically and logically isolating the streamlined backup network from the primary network.

  • Patent number: 10574539
    Abstract: A data store may contain data describing systems associated with an enterprise. The data store may contain electronic records, each containing a record identifier and a set of record characteristic values, including a service tier goal. A compliance score may be automatically calculated based on an assessment of record characteristic values, the service tier goal, and at least a system availability value, an incident response time value, and an incident restoration time value. A remediation recommendation may be generated, including steps that, when performed, will result in the selected system meeting the service tier goal. An indication representing the remediation recommendation may then be transmitted in connection with an interactive user interface display.
