Publication number: 20240095442Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for automated document processing. A linked provider associated with a transaction record is identified. A submission template for the linked provider is then identified, the submission template specifying how to complete a submission using transaction data from the transaction record. Transaction data is then obtained from the transaction record. A submission is then completed based at least in part on the submission template and using the transaction data. Finally, the completed submission is then sent to a provider service associated with the linked provider.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Matthew Reid Baum, Joshua Block, Ashley Sjostrom Brailey, Diana Maria Dilorio, Zyad Gomaa, Timothy A. Osgood, Magdalena Selma

Patent number: 10979446Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for automated vulnerability chaining. A vulnerability chaining engine receives data indicating that a plurality of vulnerabilities are present in at least one host. The vulnerabilities are individually assigned a respective default risk score. The vulnerability chaining engine determines that an exploitation of a combination of the vulnerabilities would result in a greater risk score for the host(s) than indicated by the respective default risk scores based at least in part on respective vulnerability types associated with the individual vulnerabilities. A chained risk score that is higher than the respective default risk scores is assigned to the individual vulnerabilities.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2018Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joshua Eugene Stevens, Matthew Block, Dennis Wayne Kuntz

Patent number: 8006242Abstract: Identification of software configuration data. One or more binary files from a memory area in a computing device are identified. The binary files include information relating to execution of software. One or more strings from the identified binary files are extracted according to a rule. The rule defines requirements associated with the configuration data. A list of strings is generated from those extracted one or more strings, each of the strings in the generated list refers to configuration data in the memory area. The configuration data may be transferred to another machine, backed up, or used for informational purposes.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2005Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Matthew A. Block, Daniel Joseph Mastrian, Jr., Ovidiu G. Temereanca

Patent number: 7900202Abstract: Identification of software program data and configuration data. A set of installation data is identified from an installation log. A set of deduced data is determined based on the identified set of installation data, using various algorithms and heuristics. A set of program data is organized as a function of the starting and deduced data, said program data constituting all data belonging to the software. The software is applied from the source computing device to a destination computing device as a function of the organized set of program data such that the application process mimics the actions of the software's installer so that the software functions seamlessly on the destination computing device.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2005Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Matthew A. Block, Calin Negreanu, Ovidiu G. Temereanca, Nathan Cornillon

Patent number: 7835999Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for recognizing input gestures. A neural network is trained using example inputs and backpropagation to recognize specified input patterns. Input gesture data is representative of movements in contact on a multi-touch input display surface relative to one or more axes over time. Example inputs used for training the neural network to recognize a specified input pattern can be created from sampling input gesture data for example input gestures known to represent the specified input pattern. Trained neural networks can subsequently be used to recognize input gestures that are similar to known input gestures as the specified input pattern corresponding to the known input gestures.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2007Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Matthew Block
