Abstract: An approach is provided for a maritime cyber risk assessment profiling tool. The tool accesses a risk profile for one or more maritime vessels, wherein the risk profile includes a plurality of attack vectors targeting a plurality of systems associated with the one or more maritime vessels, and wherein each of the plurality of attack vectors is associated with a quantified risk value. The tool retrieves a risk update from a dynamic risk data source. The tool updates the risk profile based on the risk update, including a first attack vector. The tool causes display of a risk assessment for the one or more maritime vessels based on the updated risk profile, wherein the risk assessment includes risk values assigned for a particular set of the plurality of systems including a risk value that changed based on the update to the first attack vector.

Abstract: A computer-implemented process and apparatus for storing, accessing, and comparing genetic profiles in a form suitable for amateur human analysis is provided. The process includes imputing and storing data that represent individual genetic profiles which have been created using conventional genetic analysis processes. The process and apparatus allow remote consumer access via the internet to genetic profiles owned by consumer which can then be compared against other genetic profiles according to a genetic profile comparison process selected from several available processes. The resulting output of the process is a summary of the genetic profile comparison which answers the question posed by the consumer.

Abstract: Connecting a load device to a power supply is described. A connection to a load device is detected on a communication link, where the load device is in a first power state. In response to detecting the connection to the load device, a bias power source is enabled to supply bias power on the communication link to the load device. Power information of the load device is received over the communication link. Power is supplied to the load device, based on the power information, to place the load device in a second power state.
