  • Patent number: 10502324
    Abstract: A valve has a housing defining an inlet and an outlet and a cavity therebetween which receives a valve seat. The valve seat defines a slot which receives a gate. The valve seat is sealingly engaged with the housing, the gate sealingly engages the valve seat and is movable within the slot between an open and a closed position using an actuator. An opening in the housing provides access to the cavity. The valve seat may be removed from the housing through the opening by attaching the valve seat to the gate, thereby attaching the valve seat to the actuator, and withdrawing the gate from the housing using the actuator.

  • Publication number: 20190358900
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for making an article with an additive manufacturing machine that includes a build platform (14) and an additive material dispensing nozzle (18) for controlled application of the additive material with respect to a location of the build platform. The method includes attaching a first part (24a) to the build platform. The first part includes a first mating surface that includes a protruding portion (34) and a recessed portion (32). A digital model of a second part that includes a second mating surface comprising recessed and protruding portions (39, 38) complementary to the first mating surface is inputted to the additive manufacturing machine. The nozzle dispenses and hardens an incremental quantity of a polymer material to the first mating surface according to the digital model, and successively-dispensed incremental quantities of polymer material are applied and hardened according to the digital model to produce the article including first and second parts.

  • Patent number: 10481998
    Abstract: Protecting sensitive information in connection with tracing an original execution of an entity. Embodiments include identifying that original information—which was accessed based on an original execution of one or more original executable instructions of the entity—comprises sensitive information. Based on the original information comprising the sensitive information, embodiments include performing one or both of (i) storing first trace data comprising alternative information—rather than the original information—into the trace, while ensuring that an execution path that was taken by the entity based on the original information is also taken during replay of the original execution of the entity using the trace; or (ii) storing second trace data into the trace that causes zero or more alternative executable instructions—rather than the one or more original executable instructions of the entity—to be executed during the replay of the original execution of the entity.

  • Patent number: 10462188
    Abstract: A computer network security system includes a central controller in communication with software-based endpoint agents operating on individual host computers. The endpoint agents monitor new connection requests to and from their respective hosts, comparing the connections to cached rules obtained from the controller, and holding new connections while escalating requests for applicable rules and/or directives to the controller in real-time when no applicable rules are available in their caches. The endpoint agents can be configured to present a pop-up dialog requesting enhanced authentication credentials from a user on a host in response to a connection request from a restricted network-based application. The pop-up dialog enables enhanced or two-factor authentication functionality to be overlaid on any networked application regardless of the application's inherent authentication capability.

  • Patent number: 10452529
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for cloud memory sizing are disclosed. An initial database memory allocation is determined for the provisioning of a database server instance. Periodically, sizes of key database tables of the database server instance are measured and an upper and a lower bound ratio are determined based on the key database table sizes and a buffer pool size. The upper and lower bound ratios are used to determine a desired memory allocation from which a report is generated including an interface for generating an instance move action for re-provisioning the database server instance with the desired memory allocation.
