Abstract: Disclosed are a method and computer system for quantifying identity risk associated with an agent's request for access to online resources using valid credentials of an authorized user. The likelihood that the agent is the authorized user is computed using access request data, historical access data for the authorized user, and identity risk signal data collected from open source intelligence (OSINT) and other external identity risk data sources. The likelihood may be based on the distance between the current digital fingerprint, which in an embodiment is a high-dimensional vector comprising identity risk signal data, and a similar historical digital fingerprint for the authorized user, or, alternatively, the deviation from mean between a current weighted risk score comprising the identity risk signal data and the historical weighted risk scores for the authorized use.

Abstract: A hydraulic brake assembly (12) includes a housing (24) having first and second side-by-side bores (30), each defining a respective master cylinder assembly. Each master cylinder assembly includes a master cylinder piston (32) slidably movable by actuation of a respective brake pedal (18a, 18b) to and between an active position and an inactive position. A spool (74) slidably disposed within a piston bore (70) of the master cylinder piston (32) is operable in a first mode to direct hydraulic fluid from a quick-fill chamber (62) to a master cylinder chamber (50) at a first pressure upon initial movement of the master cylinder piston (32) from the inactive position toward the active position. The spool (74) is operable in a second mode to direct hydraulic fluid from the quick-fill chamber (62) to a tank (20) when pressure in the master cylinder chamber (50) reaches a predefined threshold.

Abstract: A machine for automatic water to biker with The bike rider only has to lean in to an extended small hose that is attached to the front and center of the bike, then can still focus on riding while depressing the button and the water will be pumped into his mouth, and water spayed on his face if he so desires a cooling of water instead of a drink.

Abstract: A hydraulic brake valve comprising a body, a passageway defined in the body, an inlet to the passageway, an outlet from the passageway and a movable valve member in the passageway, the valve member is movable between a first position blocking the passageway to prevent communication between the inlet and the outlet, and a second position opening the passageway to allow communication between the inlet and the outlet in response to a pressure differential exceeding a predetermined value. The valve member remains in its second position once it has been moved to its second position.
