  • Patent number: 10229445
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing structured descriptions of entries are described. For example, a machine receives a textual description of an entry representing an item. The textual description represents the item being submitted by a user, and received from a client device associated with the user by a network-based system. The entry, after creation, corresponds to a listing of the item at the network-based system. The machine generates a structured description of the entry based on the textual description of the entry. The structured description includes a name-value pair derived from the textual description submitted by the user. The machine receives an edited version of the structured description based on causing a display of the structured description in a user interface of the client device. The machine stores the edited version of the structured description in a record of a database.

  • Publication number: 20180318356
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides inventive cosmetic/dermatological formulations and/or preparations that include mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and also provides associated methods for repairing, rejuvenating and/or augmenting skin tissue. The formulations and/or preparations include MSCs that are formulated into creams, lotions, and the like. In one aspect, the MSCs are obtained autogenously. In another aspect, the MSCs are obtained from allogeneic sources. In another aspect, the MSCs may be minimally manipulated. In another aspect, the MSCs may be derived from bone marrow or adipose tissue. In another aspect, the MSCs can be utilized from bone marrow concentrate (BMC) or from adipose stromal vascular fraction (SVF). In another aspect, the MSCs can also be utilized after cell expansion. The associated methods comprise topical application of the cosmetic/dermatological formulations and/or preparations onto skin tissue, resulting in repairing, rejuvenating, and/or augmenting the skin tissue.

  • Publication number: 20180264043
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an inventive method of treating deteriorated skin tissue in the face or selected areas of the body, wherein the skin tissue has deteriorated due to aging and/or other factors, by injecting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into these areas, resulting in improving and/or restoring the affected areas. In one aspect, the MSCs are obtained autogenously. In another aspect, the MSCs are minimally manipulated. In yet another aspect, treatment of the skin tissue is carried out using bone marrow concentrate that contains the MSCs. A platelet rich plasma (PRP) may be added to a bone marrow concentrate containing MSCs.

  • Patent number: 10003610
    Abstract: An incident response system and method for tracking data security incidents in enterprise networks is disclosed. An Incident Manager application (IM) stores incident objects and incident artifacts (IAs) created in response to the incidents, where the incident objects include the information for the incident and the IAs are associated with data resources (e.g. IP addresses and malware hashes) identified within the incident objects. In response to creation of the IAs, the IM issues queries against one or more external threat intelligence sources (TISs) to obtain information associated with the IAs and augments the IAs with the obtained information. In examples, the IM can identify known threats by comparing the contents of IAs against TIS(s) of known threats, and can identify potential trends by correlating the created incident objects and augmented IAs for an incident with incident objects and IAs stored for other incidents.

  • Patent number: 9980984
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an inventive method of treating inflammation that is associated with osteoarthritis of the knee joint by injecting mesenchymal stem cells into the symptomatic knee. In one aspect, the mesenchymal stem cells are obtained autogenously. In another aspect, the mesenchymal stem cells are injected below the degenerated medial tibial plateau of the knee joint, resulting in reduction of the inflammation and alleviation of the symptoms of the osteoarthritis.

  • Publication number: 20180045343
    Abstract: It has been unexpected found that the fluid resistance of hoses can be greatly enhanced by adding a chlorinated paraffin to a chlorinated polyethylene elastomer or a chlorosulfonated polyethylene elastomer which is used as the tubular inner core layer of the hose. Hoses made using this approach offer the advantage of having improved resistance to modern automotive fluids, provide a longer service life, and better reliability without compromising flexural characteristics or burst strength. Such hoses are comprised of (1) an elastomeric tubular inner core layer defining a lumen, (2) a friction layer, and (3) an elastomeric cover, wherein the elastomeric tubular inner core layer is comprised of (i) a chlorinated elastomer selected from the group consisting of epichlorohydrin, polychloroprene, chlorinated polyethylene and chlorosulfonated polyethylene, (ii) 1 phr to 50 phr of a chlorinated paraffin, and (iii) 30 phr to 120 phr of carbon black.

  • Patent number: 9894810
    Abstract: In one example, a data center may be built in modular components that may be pre-manufactured and separately deployable. Each modular component may provide functionality such as server capacity, cooling capacity, fire protection, resistance to electrical failure. Some components may be added to the data center by connecting them to the center's utility spine, and others may be added by connecting them to other components. The spine itself may be a modular component, so that spine capacity can be expanded or contracted by adding or removing spine modules. The various components may implement functions that are part of standards for various levels of reliability for data centers. Thus, the reliability level that a data center meets may be increased or decreased to fit the circumstances by adding or removing components.

  • Publication number: 20170366582
    Abstract: A system and method for responding to incidents in an enterprise network is disclosed. The system tracks incidents by creating, in an incident Manager, incident objects for each incident. Each incident object includes details for the incidents, also known as incident characteristics. The system also creates one or more indicators of compromise (IOCs) associated with the incident characteristics for each incident. When processing a new incident or an update to an incident, the system compares IOCs associated with the incident object for the incident being processed to stored IOCs for other incidents to determine if other incidents are related to the incident being processed. In embodiments, the system can then generate tasks for responding to new incidents based on incident characteristics of and IOCs associated with the new incidents, and can regenerate tasks for responding to incidents based on updates to incident characteristics of and IOCs associated with the incidents.
