  • Patent number: 11962617
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for cross-channel network security with tiered adaptive mitigation operations. In this regard, the invention is structured for dynamic detection of security events associated with network devices and resources, and triggering real-time mitigation operations across a plurality of resource channels. The invention provides a novel method for employing activity data to construct and implement mitigation actions for de-escalating authorization tiers that are adapted to the specific attributes of the activity data, in order to prevent security exposure associated with the activity. Another aspect of the invention is directed to determining whether to continue the tiered adaptive mitigation actions and/or trigger a security proceed signal.

  • Publication number: 20240098158
    Abstract: A push notification mechanism at a mobile user device provides for automated limiting of the rate of production of push notification alerts (such as an audible alert or a vibratory alert) and/or push notifications responsive to the occurrence of chat events relevant to a chat application hosted by the user device. Some chat events automatically trigger suppression periods during which push notification alerts are prevented for subsequent chat events that satisfy predefined suppression criteria. Such push notification and/or alert limiting can be performed separately for separate users, chat groups, and/or chat event types.

  • Publication number: 20240080279
    Abstract: A network appliance receives a network packet and determines an application identifier for the network packet. Key specification fetching circuits in the processing stages of the network appliance's match-action pipelines can use the application identifiers to read key specifications. The key specifications are stored in memory and may be cached near the processing stages. Key construction circuits in the processing stages can use the key specifications to construct keys. The processing stages can process the network based on the keys because the keys may be used to obtain action indicators from match-action tables. As such, the processing stages can construct and use keys that may be dynamically defined by storing their key specifications in memory.

  • Patent number: 11914946
    Abstract: A document management system sends a distinct copy of a set of documents to each of a plurality of recipients in a bulk sending process, producing a batch of document sets. The document management system can facilitate the performance of a bulk action on the batch of document sets by a sending entity. Examples include a bulk corrective action, a bulk void action, a bulk re-send action, and a bulk download action. In addition, the document management system can identify document sets sent separately that are likely parts of a batch of document sets using one or more similarity criteria. The document management system can recommend that a sending entity combine the identified document sets into a batch of document sets, enabling the sending entity to perform bulk actions on the document sets.

  • Publication number: 20240060851
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for determining a core-to-ferrule offset of a ferrule for a fiber optic connector. A reference ferrule is physically aligned with a core imager by positioning the reference ferrule so that edges of the reference ferrule in a plurality of profile images are aligned with fiducial markers in the images. The reference ferrule is incrementally rotated about its longitudinal center access, a core image captured at each rotational angle, and a reference core-to-ferrule offset determined based on the core images. A test ferrule is physically aligned with the core imager by positioning the test ferrule so that edges of the test ferule are aligned with the edges of the reference ferrule in a plurality of profile images. The core-to-ferrule offset of the test ferrule is then determined based on an offset between the test and reference cores in a composite core image.
