  • Patent number: 12632585
    Abstract: Various embodiments include systems and methods to implement a security platform providing query transformations and layered filtering. Security data associated with a client deployment of assets may be determined and analyzed for identifying security vulnerabilities. The security platform may support an application programming interface that provides a flexible query format that allows multiple layers of filtering logic at various layers of a frontend query. The filtering logic may be translated into a backend query format used to retrieve security data specified by the frontend query.

  • Publication number: 20260134396
    Abstract: The disclosed systems, methods, and media for connecting contractors to employers can receive, from a contractor user device, contractor registration data; query state license databases to verify the contractor registration data; query background check databases to determine if any criminal record data exists for a first contractor; receive, from an employer user device, first job position data; receive, from the contractor user device, a request to search for jobs within a first geographical region; in response, receive, from the contractor user device, a request to be hired for the first job position; compare the contractor registration data with the first job position data; in response, send, to the employer user device, a request to hire the first contractor for the first job position; receive, from the employer user device, an acceptance of the request; and in response, initiating payment of at least one insurance premium.

  • Publication number: 20150234813
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and associated components for the enhanced categorization, accessing and display of information stored in a computer database. The invention provides databases that comprise information components or content that is annotated with descriptive reference components or tags in order to provide a semantic reference to the content. Use of semantic categorization provides databases and the information contained within them to have greater dimensionality and richness which translates to richer queries and query results.

  • Publication number: 20140124070
    Abstract: The present invention provides an underground tank having a vessel assembly and a generally spaced access assembly. That is, the access assembly includes a fuel line, a withdrawal line, and a dome assembly. The fuel line and the withdrawal line have a first end disposed outside the vessel assembly and a second end disposed adjacent to or within the vessel assembly. The first end extends upwardly from the vessel assembly toward the ground surface. The dome assembly is coupled adjacent to the fuel line and withdrawal line first end. As such, the vessel assembly may be buried at any depth as the fuel lines and withdrawal lines may have any length.

  • Publication number: 20050194462
    Abstract: An electronically controlled fuel injector includes a reduced part count and complexity over similar fuel injectors without a substantial reduction in performance capabilities. This is accomplished by using a one-piece needle that is hydraulically balanced and biased toward a closed position with a spring positioned in the needle control chamber. Although subtle, this injector has some ability to control the fuel pressure when the needle valve is opening and closing by adjusting a relative timing of a pressure control valve opening relative to a needle control chamber, using separate electrical actuators. The invention is particularly applicable to fuel injectors that cycle through high and low pressure states during and between injection events, respectively. Cam actuated fuel injectors being particularly well suited.
