  • Patent number: 11165791
    Abstract: Generally discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for computer or other network device security. A method can include identifying a profile associated with event data regarding an operation performed on a cloud resource, determining whether the event data is associated with anomalous customer interaction with the cloud resource, in response to determining the event data is associated with anomalous customer interaction, identifying whether another cloud resource of the cloud resources with a lower granularity profile that is associated with the profile of the cloud resource has previously been determined to be a target of an anomalous operation, and providing a single alert to a client device indicating the anomalous behavior on the cloud resource in response to determining both the event data is associated with anomalous customer interaction and the another cloud resource is determined to be the target of the anomalous operation.

  • Patent number: 11160213
    Abstract: A baler includes a housing forming a baling chamber. The baling chamber has an inlet that defines an inlet width perpendicular to a central longitudinal axis of the baler. A pre-cutter is disposed forward of the inlet along the central longitudinal axis and includes a cutter width perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis. The cutter width is substantially less than the inlet width. A crop distributor is disposed between the pre-cutter and the inlet and conveys the crop material from the pre-cutter to the inlet. A pick-up head is disposed forward of the pre-cutter and lifts the crop material from the ground and conveys it to the pre-cutter.

  • Publication number: 20210331329
    Abstract: Systems and method for forming a stable silo face in bulk material are disclosed. Particularly, systems and methods for forming a negative rake angle in a silo face of bulk silage are disclosed. Rotation of an articulated arm (e.g., raising and lowering), altering a length of the articulated arm (e.g., extension or retraction), and movement of a machine relative to the silo face (towards and away from) may be automatically controlled to form the negative rake angle. Different implementations contemplate automated control of all or fewer than all of these operations.
