  • Patent number: 11556666
    Abstract: A method for automated data access management can include creating a project that manages data access to data sources by a plurality of users, wherein each user has user attributes indicating data access policies for the data sources. The method can also include performing project equalization for the project, wherein the project equalization determines a set of user attributes shared by the users. Additionally, the method can include modifying the user attributes of each user for the project, wherein the user attributes of each user are modified to conform to the set of user attributes determined by the project equalization, and detecting a query to retrieve data from the data source. The method can include modifying the query to produce a modified query by applying the modified user attributes associated with the project to the query and retrieving the data from the data source based on the modified query.

  • Patent number: 11511848
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a blade lock comprising a fold lock adapted to prevent folding of a rotor blade in a fold-lock position and to allow folding of the rotor blade in a pitch-lock position. The blade lock further comprises a pitch lock adapted to allow pitch movement of a rotor blade in a fold-lock position and to prevent pitch movement of the rotor blade in the pitch-lock position. A spring-loaded link pivotally connects both the fold lock and the pitch lock and is adapted to provide passive, overcenter locking in the fold-lock position. An actuator is coupled to the pitch lock and is adapted to move the pitch lock and the fold lock between the fold-lock and pitch-lock positions.

  • Publication number: 20220252197
    Abstract: Apparatuses, devices, systems, and methods are described that provide fluid flow connectors. An example fluid flow connector includes a first connector body that defines a first inner bore and a first plurality of outer bores. The example connector further includes a second connector body that defines a second inner bore and a second plurality of outer bores. In an operational configuration in which the first connector body is attached to the second connector body, the first inner bore mates with the second inner bore to form a first fluid channel, and each of the first plurality of outer bores mate with a respective one of the second plurality of outer bores to form a second fluid channel. The example connector further includes a sealing mechanism that, in the operational configuration, seals the first fluid channel from the second fluid channel and seal the second fluid channel from an external environment of the fluid flow connector.
