Publication number: 20240126916Abstract: Methods, media, and systems are provided for centralized and decentralized protection of sensitive data. Sensitive data, for example, may include personal user data or data protected by data privacy regulations. A router may receive data from a user device. In an embodiment, the data may be received from an application that is managed by a Kubernetes cluster. In some embodiments, the application provides an active user interface that includes one or more sensitive fields for entering sensitive data. A machine learning model may be used to detect that the data being received by the router includes sensitive data. Additionally, the machine learning model may detect an entry of sensitive data at one or more sensitive fields on one or more active user interfaces. The machine learning model may be trained using a plurality of application programming interface requests. A masking technique may be applied to the sensitive data.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Phi Hoang Nguyen, Kevin Ka-Kin Lau

Publication number: 20230379224Abstract: A system, methods, and computer-readable media are provided herein for real-time “live” identification of connectivity issues with autonomous predictive solution provision via a diagnostic application supported by a machine-learning model. In aspects, live data in a targeted application is captured in an on-going manner and used by the diagnostic application to automatically identify connectivity issues. When connectivity issues are detected, the live data capture is pushed to the model so that the model can make a predictive classification of the error based on geospatial, temporal, and/or geospatial-temporal alignments in the data. Based on the classification, the model predicts a solution and the diagnostic application provides the solution to the user of the targeted application.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: T-MOBILE INNOVATIONS LLCInventors: Phi Hoang NGUYEN, Kevin Ka-Kin LAU

Patent number: 11044834Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing having a bottom surface and one or more mounting members that enable the housing to be mounted in a rack. The apparatus includes liquid cooling components mounted within the housing. The liquid cooling components include tubing within which a coolant may be communicated, and a heat exchange component that thermally couples a heat load within the housing to the coolant so that heat from the heat load is transferred to the coolant. The bottom surface of the housing defines a drain path. The heat exchange component is positioned in a downward direction of gravity relative to the heat load when the housing is mounted in the rack. In the event of a coolant leak, the coolant leak will occur beneath the heat load and the coolant will flow away from the heat load and exit the housing by use of the drain path.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2020Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Michael Chi Kin Lau, William F.
