  • Patent number: 12197399
    Abstract: Disclosed below are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems for managing and classifying assets in an information technology (“IT”) environment using a tag-based approach. The disclosed tag-based classification techniques can be implemented through a graphical user interface. Embodiments of the disclosed tag-based classification techniques can be used to allow a user to easily and quickly select and perform actions on groups of one or more assets (e.g., monitor policies, perform upgrades, etc.). For example, the tag-based classification techniques can automatically classify assets into “tag sets” (or “tagged sets”) based on node properties or user-selected criteria or conditions (e.g., criteria or conditions that are established in a user-created tagging profile or rule). The tagged assets can then be further filtered to identify even deeper relationships between the assets.

  • Publication number: 20220266197
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of preferentially sorbing, from a target mixture, one or more target substance(s) over one or more non-target substance(s). In particular, porous organic cages (POCs) may be deployed in the quantum sieving of mixtures of hydrogen isotopes to selectively sorb heavy hydrogen isotopes (e.g. diatomic deuterium) over lighter isotopes (diatomic protium).

  • Publication number: 20180276254
    Abstract: Disclosed below are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems for managing and classifying assets in an information technology (“IF”) environment using a tag-based approach. The disclosed tag-based classification techniques can be implemented through a graphical user interface. Embodiments of the disclosed tag-based classification techniques can be used to allow a user to easily and quickly select, and perform actions on groups of one or more assets (e.g., monitor policies, perform upgrades, etc.). For example, the tag-based classification techniques can automatically classify assets into “tag sets” (or “tagged sets”) based on node properties or user-selected criteria or conditions (e.g., criteria or conditions that are established in a user-created tagging profile or rule).
