Publication number: 20240114058Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for providing recommendations for sets of security operations for improving security of documents created or executed within an online document system. A supplier entity may select sets of security operations to be performed for a request provided to a signing entity. The online document system computes an aggregate measure of security for the selected sets of security operations and compares it to a threshold measure of security. If the aggregate measure is less than the threshold measure, the online document system uses a machine-learned model to identify additional sets of security operations that when added, results in an updated aggregate measure of security greater than the threshold. The additional sets of security operations are presented to the supplier entity for inclusion within a security operation workflow in combination with the selected sets of security operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Darren Hon Kit Louie, Blake Thomas Walsh, Reid B. Maker, Mark Groves, Anunay Kumar, Michael Elliot Brickman, Joshua D. Wise

Patent number: 11915604Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a training lab that can be used as a teaching platform for individuals to learn electronic maintenance, such as transformer maintenance. The training lab can be either stationary or mobile, or can switch between the two modes. Modified transformers, or other equipment, can be incorporated into the lab to improve training.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: QUANTA ASSOCIATES, L.P.Inventors: Alan Drew, Aaron Howell, Mark Groves, Aaron Marshall Jenkins, Phil Carrillo

Patent number: 11891282Abstract: A device, system and method are used for hoisting and lowering a load. The device has a front plate that may be displaced to reveal a sheave. The device also has a friction accessory. The friction accessory is arranged to create friction between a rope and the device when a load is suspended from the device using the rope and where the device is secured to a support structure. The system may be prepared by an operator, having ascended to an elevated location, and further allows the operator to lower the load from the elevated location prior to descending.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2023Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: GRID MANUFACTURING CORPORATIONInventor: Mark Groves

Patent number: 11797532Abstract: Systems and methods provide a platform of at least partially pre-defined panel templates that a user can select and manipulate to customize the visualization of data of interest within an interactive dashboard. Each panel template may be defined by a developer in advance to include a set of inputs, a query, and a visualization. Users may select pre-defined panel templates for inclusion in the dashboard, and then when the dashboard is actually displayed, use the set of inputs of a particular panel to specify criteria that may further define the corresponding query and/or the visualization of data produced by executing the query. An electronic dashboard is provided having a combination of available panel templates that may be selected and arranged according to a desired page layout or design. One or more reusable panel templates may be provided to a user of an enterprise application for data analysis and visualization.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: SPLUNK INC.Inventors: Michael Joseph Papale, Mark A.

Patent number: 11573949Abstract: Resolving conflicting changes to structured data files. A method includes for a structured data file which has both a generic structure and dialects built on top of the generic structure, for which conflicting changes have been made, and where an original version of the structured data, a first version of the structured data and a second version of the structured data exist, determining a dialect of the structured data. The method further includes, based on the determined dialect performing at least one of merge or diff operations on the original version of the structured data, the first version of the structured data and the second version of the structured data.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2021Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: David Charles Kilian, Louisa Rose Millott, Gareth Alun Jones, Andrew Craig Bragdon, Yu Xiao, Arun Mathew Abraham, Kevin J.
