  • Patent number: 11930016
    Abstract: A client application is specified by a target tenant and represented in an OAuth provider, along with a corresponding secret. A source tenant consents to permissions to be executed by the client application on a resource of the source tenant. A target service uses the secret to obtain an access token from an authorization server coupled to the source tenant and uses the access token to obtain access, specified by the permissions, to the resource served by a source service acting on behalf of the source tenant.

  • Patent number: 11726392
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for autofocusing cameras in a videophone are disclosed. A videophone system may include a camera having a lens, a lens actuator configured to move the lens, and an image sensor configured to capture images received through the lens. The videophone system may also include a distance sensor configured to determine an object of focus distance between the camera lens and the object of focus. The system includes memory for storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the camera lens to automatically focus on the object of focus. The processor includes a lookup table configured to correlate an object of focus distance determined by the distance sensor with a digital number that can be converted by a digital to analog converter to a power value sufficient to power lens actuator to move the lens to a predetermined focus position.

  • Publication number: 20230233544
    Abstract: Dysregulation of TAF1 function by various mechanisms can lead to disease in the central nervous system, such as the TAF1 Intellectual Disability (ID) Syndrome which currently has no therapeutic treatments. The present invention indicates that a novel T-type calcium channel enhancer, such as SAK3, has disease-modifying effects in animal models of TAF1 editing. In addition, the present invention provides insights into the molecular mechanism by which SAK3 exerts in pharmacologic effects. Moreover, the present findings imply that the T-Type voltage-gated calcium channels are novel molecular targets to develop therapeutics to treat TAF1 ID syndrome and that SAK3 is an attractive drug candidate to treat TAF1 associated neurologic disorders.

  • Publication number: 20230195857
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is system and method for use with software application development environments, for determining attribution associated with licensed software code. The system can receive as input an indication of a source application codebase for a software application, determine dependencies on third-party modules, libraries, or other software code, and output associated license attributions for that codebase. Optionally, the system can combine and/or de-duplicate multiple sets of attributions associated with a source application codebase, or generate a set of differences between two versions of attributions, to illustrate changes between the versions. In accordance with an embodiment, if the system detects potential licensing issues associated with the use of third-party modules, libraries, or other software code, then an appropriate notification can be generated.

  • Patent number: 11650984
    Abstract: A technique for using a caching layer for key-value storage in a database is described. In one example of the present disclosure, a system can receive, at an unsorted data structure of a caching layer, a key-value pair associated with a data object. The unsorted data structure can store a first plurality of key-value pairs. The system can receive one or more operations for updating the key-value pair in the caching layer. The system can determine the key-value pair is to be migrated to a sorted memory table based on a caching algorithm. The system can migrate the key-value pair to a sorted memory table configured to store a second plurality of key-value pairs that is larger than the first plurality of key-value pairs and sort the key-value pair with the second plurality of key-value pairs prior to storing the key-value pair in the sorted memory table.

  • Publication number: 20230024864
    Abstract: Power consumption can be reduced by selective memory chip hibernation. For example, a computing device can allocate first data associated with a first processing operation of a user device to a first chip of a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) of the user device. The computing device can allocate second data associated with a second processing operation of the user device to a second chip of the DRAM of the user device. The computing device can determine the first processing operation has been inactive for a predetermined period of time and migrate the first data from the first chip of the DRAM to a storage device of the user device. The computing device can hibernate the first chip of the DRAM while maintaining power to the second chip of the DRAM for continuing to perform the second processing operation.

  • Patent number: 11475147
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying a creation of a container within a system, selecting a security policy for the container, based on one or more attributes, identifying a key label associated with the security policy for the container, retrieving a data encryption key, utilizing the key label, and encrypting the container, utilizing the data encryption key. This may enable a highly granular level of automatic container-level security within the system that may be transparently implemented within the system, which may streamline container security and reduce an amount of stored data and processing necessary for implementing container security, and may thereby improve the performance of the system.

  • Patent number: 11429745
    Abstract: Client devices can send access request messages to resource management computers to request access to a resource. A data security hub can provide centralized routing between different client devices, resource management computers, and authentication data processing servers. The data security hub can reduce the risk of sensitive authentication information from leaking (e.g., due to a breach) by limiting the amount or types of authentication information distributed to the data processing servers. The data security hub can limited the authentication information being distributed based on its sensitivity, the trust level of the client device, and the security level of the requested resource. The data security hub can also evaluate the client devices and data processing servers to identify security breaches and can cancel or reroute access requests accordingly Thus, the data security hub can maintain resource security while better preserving the privacy of the client device's authentication information.

  • Publication number: 20220251663
    Abstract: Cancer is the second most common cause of death worldwide, identification of cancer-specific DNA methylation events released by tumors into blood can be used for cost-effective, minimally invasive diagnostics and monitoring of cancer. The present invention clinically tested a set of ten DNA methylation specific qPCR amplicons, designed to detect most common human carcinoma types, in cell free DNA extracted from plasma fraction of blood samples from healthy controls and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases. The DNA methylation biomarkers distinguish lung cancer cases from controls with high sensitivity and specificity (AUC=0.956), and furthermore, the signal from the markers depends on the tumor size and decreases after surgical resection of lung tumors. These observations indicate clinical value of these DNA methylation biomarkers for minimally invasive diagnostics and monitoring of NSCLC. It is predicted that these DNA methylation biomarkers will detect additional carcinoma types as well.

  • Patent number: 11334664
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method for determining whether a program has been modified. The method can include determining that a first instance of the program is loaded in main memory. The method can further include determining a starting memory location of the first instance of the program. A second instance of the program is loaded into main memory. The second instance of the program is loaded such that memory references in the second instance of the program are resolved as if the second instance were loaded at the starting memory location of the first instance of the program. The first instance of the program is compared with the second instance of the program.
