Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are described to manage password security. An example apparatus includes a hardware processor to implement a transmission delay manager to invoke a provisional transmission block of a candidate password in response to detecting entry of the candidate password and a vault hash manager to determine hash values of a set of passwords of a list of passwords. The hardware processor further implements a parity verifier to compare the determined hash values to a hash value of the candidate password to determine a count of a number of instances the hash value of the candidate password matches one of the hash values and an alarm action engine to identify a service category type associated with the candidate password, the service category type associated with a threshold and release the provisional transmission block of the candidate password when the count satisfies the threshold.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a kit and methods for using the same. The kit includes a plate including at least one well, wherein the well includes a silver nitrate and a catalyst. The method includes providing a sample of synovial fluid to a well of a plate, wherein the well includes a silver nitrate and a catalyst and determining a presence of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals, wherein the presence of MSU crystals indicates that gout is detected in the sample.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to manage password security. An example apparatus includes means for invoking a provisional transmission block of a password associated with a user in response to detecting entry of the password, the password identified as new or changing and means for identifying a service category type associated with the password, the service category type associated with a threshold, the threshold determined by a security risk for the service category. The apparatus further includes means for retrieving a list of password hash values associated with previously used passwords associated with the user, means for comparing the list of password hash values to a hash of the password to determine a count of a number of times the hash value of the password matches a hash value on the list of password hash values.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to manage password security. An example apparatus includes a password field identifier to: monitor a computing device to detect entry of password information for web services, the password field identifier to identify when the password information for a first one of the web services is new or is changing. When the password information is new or is changing, capture the entered password associated with the first one of the web services. The example apparatus further includes a password linkage monitor to store a hash value of the captured password in a password vault and associate the stored hash value of the captured password with the first one of the web services.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for cross-silo query and data retrieval. A request to access a data object in a trusted database is received, wherein the request includes an enterprise-wide unique identifier of a data object or one or more metadata attribute value pairs. If the request comprises one or more metadata attribute value pairs, one or more enterprise-wide unique identifiers associated with the metadata attribute value pairs are identified. Using the enterprise-wide unique identifiers, metadata about the data object stored in one or more enterprise-level data stores or the trusted database is retrieved. The metadata about the data object is queried to identify related data objects in disparate trusted databases in the enterprise system. The data object and the related data objects are provided to the application.

Abstract: A single starting point configuration for a complex, configurable system, is determined by collecting machine-reported data from a configurable system; obtaining non-machine reported configuration information regarding said configurable system from one or more external document applications, merging the machine-reported data and the external document, and producing a proposed configuration starting point. A user may enter additional changes to the system configuration, thereby yielding a highly accurate starting point configuration. Prior to order fulfillment, the final system configuration, change order, and starting point configuration are verified to match and correlate.
