  • Publication number: 20240149841
    Abstract: A collapsible snow paddle. The paddle includes an elongated handle, a rotatable coupling affixed to one end of the handle, and a generally planar snow remover, the rotatable coupling affixed to a rear surface of the remover so that the remover may be collapsed against the handle for storage and extended transverse to the handle for use. The snow remover may have a scraper edge inclined at an angle relative to the surface of the snow remover for scraping ice and a relatively soft capped edge for removing snow.

  • Patent number: 11902327
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of evaluating a result of enforcement of access control policies instead of enforcing the access control policies. For instance, a result of enforcement of an access control policy with regard to sign-in processes is evaluated instead of enforcing the access control policy with regard to the sign-in processes. The evaluation includes monitoring access requests that are received during the sign-in processes. Each access request requests access to a resource. The evaluation further includes comparing attributes of each access request against the access control policy that specifies criteria that are to be satisfied as a prerequisite to granting access to the resource to which access is requested by the respective access request. Metadata associated with the sign-in processes is generated instead of enforcing the access control policy with regard to the sign-in processes.

  • Publication number: 20240005347
    Abstract: A system including a processor may filter a population to identify a group having members, and deliver, over an electronic network, a survey to members of the group to determine value preferences and value gaps. The survey may be made according to a set of paired comparisons or other related techniques. The system may generate vectors according to the determined value preferences and value gaps for members of the group, which may have lengths equal to numbers of determined values for the members. The system may cluster members of the group into segments by calculating patterns of differences between generated vectors. Results of this process enable the creation of a predictive model to estimate segment membership, which can be used in the generation of a promotion for display corresponding to a clustered segment, and deliver the promotion to a client device associated for display.

  • Patent number: 11726904
    Abstract: A transient input/output in progress state is established during processing of an input/output testcase by a test infrastructure in a computing environment. The method includes obtaining the input/output testcase for an object having one or more pages, and processing the input/output testcase by the test infrastructure. Processing the input/output testcase by the test infrastructure includes, for a page of the object, generating a delay in the processing of the input/output testcase for the page of the object. The delay opens a transient input/output in progress state during which one or more concurrent test operations are to reference the page of the object.

  • Patent number: 11659009
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples, are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums for identifying security vulnerabilities across a plurality of access control policies. An administrator of the computing resource may be alerted to these vulnerabilities to allow the administrator to craft a policy, or modify an existing policy, to close these security gaps. In other examples, the system may automatically suggest and/or apply a modification to an existing policy or a new access control policy that closes the security gaps. The vulnerabilities may be determined based upon a comparison of the access control policy criteria in the previously set access control policies and a set of possible values of access control signals to determine access scenarios that are not covered by the access control policies.

  • Publication number: 20220343922
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of selectively authenticating a user using voice recognition and random representations. A credential that is received from an entity is compared to a reference credential associated with a user. The random representations are caused to be displayed to the entity based at least in part on the credential corresponding to the reference credential. Each random representation has a random entropy. A representation of speech of the entity is analyzed to determine whether a voice characterized by the speech corresponds to a voice profile that characterizes a voice of the user and to determine whether the speech includes a verbal identification of each random representation. The user is selectively authenticated based at least in part on whether the voice corresponds to the voice profile and further based at least in part on whether the speech includes the verbal identification of each random representation.

  • Publication number: 20220307288
    Abstract: The COMBINATION DEADBOLT LOCK COVER is a cover that goes over the deadbolt to keep lock-pickers from gaining access to the deadbolt lock of a dwelling. It consists of two components. The first component is the cover that you place the outside locking mechanism of your deadbolt inside and secure it to the hole on your dwelling door that the deadbolt originally goes. Once you screw your deadbolt lock with the COMBINATION DEADBOLT LOCK COVER securely covering your deadbolt lock then you slide the second part of the COMBINATION DEADBOLT LOCK COVER which is a DROPDOWN PLATE into a prefabricated slot to render the deadbolt lock of your dwelling completely un-accessible. The DROPDOWN PLATE has a hole in it in which you can slide a combination lock or a standard lock into making the deadbolt lock on your dwelling door un-seen and un-accessible.

  • Patent number: 11446915
    Abstract: An improved method for manufacturing a continuous self-healing barrier film is provided. The method includes slot-die coating opposing sides of a separator substrate with a curing agent slurry and a curable resin slurry using a single-sided coating line or a tandem coating line. The method also includes sequentially interleaving inner and outer protective layers via a continuous roll-to-roll process to create a multi-layered barrier film. The barrier film can optionally be formed into a barrier envelope, and an insulating core material can be inserted into the barrier envelope to define an enclosure. Evacuating and sealing the enclosure along a perimeter of the barrier envelop forms a self-healing vacuum insulation panel with excellent properties for use as a building material and in refrigeration systems, for example. The barrier film can alternatively be used in the manufacture of tires, roofing, cargo containers, food packaging, and pharmaceutical packaging, for example.
