  • Patent number: 12261844
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to computer science, data science, application architecture, and computer data security. More specifically, techniques for credential and authentication management in scalable data networks is described, including, but not limited to, multiplexed data exchanges in a scalable data network. For example, a method may include receiving a subset of requests to access a data network. The requests each may originate from an associated computing device having a source identifier. The method also may include data to cause modification of data representing presentation of a hosted page via the data network, monitoring data traffic from the data network and managing actions initiated via a request based on the data traffic. Optionally, data traffic received via an aggregation port may be filtered to origination of a request associated with a source identifier.

  • Patent number: 12259354
    Abstract: A sensor may include a sensing element retained within a storage compartment filled with a storage medium, which may also be used as a calibration medium. The sensing element can include a sensing surface located away from the distal end of the sensing element, such that an inactive section of the sensing element can cooperate with a sealing member such as an O-ring to form part of the seal retaining the storage/calibration medium. The sensing element can be extended and retracted from the storage compartment to expose the sensing surface to a process medium, while preserving the storage medium within the storage compartment for post-measurement validation.

  • Patent number: 12261888
    Abstract: A system and method for authorization policy validation. A validator takes as input an authorization policy to be analyzed and a schema that specifies entity types and their attributes, types of entity parents in an entity hierarchy, and which entity types can be used with which actions. The validator checks that the policy conforms to the schema. If the check passes, then the policy is guaranteed to be free of both type errors and attribute access errors for any input that conforms to the schema.

  • Publication number: 20250086095
    Abstract: A machine learning model is trained from characteristics of code changes and characteristics of tests to generate an output indicative of a likely test result of running a corresponding test on a code change. One or more machine learning models may be trained for a specific code repository and based on developer feedback. When a code change is generated by a developer to code in a code repository, a machine learning model is selected based on the repository and characteristics or features of the code change are extracted and input to the machine learning model. The machine learning model generates a model output indicative of the likely test results of running each of a plurality of different tests on the code change. The model output indicates how likely it is that each of the plurality of different tests will fail. Based on the model output, a test selection system selects a subset of the plurality of different tests that should be run against the code changes.
