  • 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.

  • Patent number: 10640336
    Abstract: A system for handling and storage of beverage containers in a storage space includes a support structure, a hoist motor operably connected to the support structure and movable via the support structure along both a length of the storage space and a width of the storage space, and a lift member operably connected to the hoist motor to secure a first end of a beverage container in an upright position to the hoist motor to lift and move the beverage container from a first location to a second location via operation of the hoist motor and movement of the hoist motor along the support structure.

  • Patent number: 10323877
    Abstract: Handling and storage of beer kegs in walk-in coolers used in the food/beverage industry. The invention utilizes a track system with an electric hoist to lift and stack kegs anywhere within the defined beer cooler. The invention is designed to optimize the keg storage footprint and better organize keg rotation. With the optional digital scale, the end user can take the guess work out of calculating partial kegs for precise inventory control.

  • Patent number: 6234747
    Abstract: A compressor casing is configured to surround blade tips in a compressor stage. The casing includes stall grooves with adjoining lands defining respective local gaps with the blade tips. At least one of the lands is offset to locally increase a corresponding one of the gaps larger than the nominal gap for the casing to reduce tip rubbing thereat.

  • Patent number: 5141395
    Abstract: A stator vane liner assembly includes seal keys supported in slots in the ends of vane liner segments in an engine casing. Stationary vanes supported in the liner segments for directing an engine airflow are urged against the keys by the engine airflow gas loads. The seal keys engage the ends of adjacent vane liners for sealing, and prevent further motion of the vanes with respect to the liner segments due to the engine airflow gas loads. Secondary seal means can be slidably captured between the seal key and vane liner segment to prevent axial and radial leakage around the seal key. The liner assembly reduces leakage of engine airflow and helps to isolate the engine casing from the thermal effects of leakage of engine airflow.
