Patent number: 11757918Abstract: Systems and methods for mitigating cybersecurity threats are provided. A system for mitigating cybersecurity threats may be configured to identify, based on a model of a system, future states, wherein the model depicts a plurality of states for the system and a plurality of capabilities enabling transitions between the plurality of states. Identifying future states may be based on a current state of the system, and the future states may comprise an undesirable state. The system may determine, based on the model of the system, whether the undesirable state is a reachable state, wherein the determination is based on capabilities possessed by an insider entity. In accordance with a determination that the undesirable state is a reachable state, the system may modify a capability possessed by the insider entity, wherein modifying the capability prevents the insider entity from causing the system to transition to the undesirable state.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: NOBLIS, INC.Inventor: Michael Clifford

Patent number: 10209044Abstract: Shot shells with enhanced performance due to inclusion of an absorber between the shot wad and the shot payload. The absorber reduces the pressure within a shot gun's chamber during firing of the shell, such as by absorbing energy generated during the firing process, and may thereafter return some of the energy to the pellets as the absorber and pellets are propelled along the fireman's barrel. Accordingly, the absorber enables a shot shell to generate shot payload velocities that are greater than would be achieved without the absorber, typically at a lower internal chamber pressure. In some embodiments, the absorber has (1) a Young's Modulus of less than 2,000 psi (137.9 bar), (2) a compressive strength of at least 100 psi (6.9 bar) and/or less than 10,000 psi (689.5 bar), and/or (3) a tensile strength of at least 145 psi (10 bar) and/or less than 10,000 psi (689.5 bar).Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2018Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: Environ-Metal, Inc.Inventors: Michael Clifford Sorensen, Ralph Nauman
