  • Publication number: 20220239484
    Abstract: Managing client access token requests is provided. It is determined whether a current time interval between a last allowed access token request matches a regular access token request interval for a client. In response to determining that the current time interval does match the regular access token request interval for the client, a current access token request is allowed. An access token is generated for the client to access a protected resource hosted by a resource server based on allowing the current access token request. The access token is issued to the client via a network.

  • Patent number: 11095668
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for managing transactions, including receiving a first transaction request directed to an account of a first web application. Additionally, initiating, by a rate-limiting engine, a rate-limiting process in response to the first transaction request. The techniques further include obtaining a rate-limiting identifier, where the rate limiting identifier uniquely identifies the first web application, and where the rate-limiting identifier identifies an account owner. The techniques further include determining an alternate notification method exists for the account owner and sending a verification request to the account owner, where the verification request is sent using the alternate notification method. The techniques further include receiving a response to the verification request, performing a risk assessment, and adjusting a first security parameter in response to the risk assessment.

  • Patent number: 11092594
    Abstract: A method for performing a multiplexed diagnostic assay, such as for two or more different targets in a sample, is described. One embodiment comprised contacting the sample with two or more specific binding moieties that bind specifically to two or more different targets. The two or more specific binding moieties are conjugated to different haptens, and at least one of the haptens is an oxazole, a pyrazole, a thiazole, a nitroaryl compound other than dinitrophenyl, a benzofurazan, a triterpene, a urea, athiourea, a rotenoid, a coumarin, a cyclolignan, a heterobiaryl, an azo aryl, or a benzodiazepine. The sample is contacted with two or more different anti-hapten antibodies that can be detected separately. The two or more different anti-hapten antibodies may be conjugated to different detectable labels.

  • Publication number: 20210180899
    Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to methods and apparatus for firearm safety mechanisms, visual safety indicators, and related techniques. A firearm includes a handle with one or more sensors disposed at least partially within a surface of the handle. The firearm also includes a trigger that is actuatable to fire the firearm, and a safety mechanism that has a first position that blocks actuation of the trigger and a second position that does not block the trigger. The firearm further includes at least one processor configured to receive data from the one or more sensors, process the received data to determine whether the data is indicative of sufficient contact of the operator's hand with the one or more sensors, and upon determining the data is indicative of sufficient contact, transmitting a signal to the safety mechanism to change the safety mechanism from the first position to the second position.

  • Publication number: 20210147032
    Abstract: A bicycle frame is discussed having a battery fully contained within a down tube of the bicycle frame. The battery may be inserted into or removed from the down tube via a through opening through a bottom bracket housing of the bicycle frame. Weakness in the bottom bracket housing due to the through opening may be compensated for, fully or partially, by utilizing a bottom bracket bearing assembly that has a structural component, or structural component assembly, that extends completely through the bottom bracket housing and removably couples to the bottom bracket housing.

  • Patent number: 10771392
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method include a rate-limiting server. The server receives a request from a client and uses an early stage process to search for a rate-limiting token bucket (TB) using metadata associated with the request. Responsive to finding the TB using the first metadata, a response operation is performed. Responsive to not finding the TB using the first metadata, a late stage process is used to search for the rate-limiting TB using server-side session data associated with the request. Responsive to not finding the TB using the session data, the TB is created and associated with at least two search indexes comprising the first metadata associated with the request and the session data. Finally, the response operation is performed that comprises transmitting a determined response to the client.
