  • Patent number: 12244635
    Abstract: A method includes scanning a plurality of hosts in a network to obtain risk information of each instance of vulnerability associated with each host during a period, calculating a vulnerability risk score (VRS) for each instance of the vulnerability based on the associated risk information, determining a number of vulnerabilities associated with each of the plurality of hosts during the period, obtaining a criticality score of each of the plurality of hosts, obtaining for each host, a representative VRS based at least in part on the VRS for each instance of vulnerability associated with the host, calculating a host risk score (HRS) for each host based on the representative VRS, the number of vulnerabilities and the criticality score of the host, calculating a network risk score (NRS) for the network based on the HRSs, and facilitating a security action based on the HRS for each host and the NRS.

  • Patent number: 8429866
    Abstract: A modular system for cladding exterior walls of a structure and insulating the structure walls provides thermally isolated vertical girders secured to a structural wall. The thermally isolated vertical girders positionally maintain insulation adjacent the structure and provide a means for mounting exterior wall cladding to the structure. Planar wall panels carrying exterior wall cladding elements mount directly or indirectly to the vertical girders. Corner elements, carrying exterior corner cladding elements interconnect with the underlying system and visually appear to interconnect with adjacent edge portions of the planar wall panels.

  • Patent number: 7961081
    Abstract: A system and apparatus for detecting unauthorized movement of a moveable object where the system includes a GPS receiver, cellular modulator, processor, pager modem, sensor and two-way pager. When the system is coupled to a moveable object and is armed via the pager, the sensor is monitored by the processor to determine when a possible theft of the moveable object may be occurring. In an embodiment, the sensor is a multiple axis accelerometer. In one embodiment the accelerometer is a two axes accelerometer where the sensor detects small movements of the object is two axes. When the sensor is triggered, the processor pages the two-way pager. The processor also determines the system's location via the GPS receiver. The processor generates a message including the system's location and unique system identifier. The processor transmits the message to a monitoring center via a cellular network (and the cellular modulator).
