  • Patent number: 12189768
    Abstract: A computer security monitoring system and method are disclosed that feature, in one general aspect, monitoring on an ongoing basis for evidence of the presence of infected systems in one or more networks that are each associated with a monitored organizational entity possessing digital assets, continuously updating risk profiles for the entities based on information about intrusion features from the monitoring, aggregating risk scores for the entities, and electronically reporting the aggregated risk score to an end user. In another general aspect, a method is disclosed that includes acquiring and storing data relating to interactions with malware controllers over a public network, acquiring and storing a map of relationships between networks connected to the public network, extracting risk data from the stored interaction data and the stored relationship map by cross-referencing the acquired interaction data against the map of relationships, and issuing security alerts based the extracted risk data.

  • Patent number: 12120526
    Abstract: A system to identify a non-approved mobile device includes a scanner for mobile devices. The scanner may be deployed in a vehicle or in a building to detect the location of non-approved mobile devices therein. The scanner may receive RF transmissions from mobile devices located within the range of the scanner. Such mobile devices may be located within, outside, or proximal to the vehicle or building. Based on unique identifying signals, the scanner may classify the devices as approved, non-approved, or transient. The scanner may be in data communication with data storage capacities located within the scanner or accessible through wireless communication. Approved mobile devices may scan for transmissions within their environment and relay information to the scanner.

  • Publication number: 20240255218
    Abstract: A method for liquefying a CO2-rich gas flow containing at least 90 mol % of CO2 involves the following steps: compressing the CO2-rich gas flow, liquefying and separating in order to produce a first liquid flow at a first pressure MP and a first temperature T1. Extracting part of the first liquid flow at the first pressure and the first temperature by way of first product, supercooling part of the first liquid flow down to a temperature below the first temperature by indirect exchange of heat in a heat exchanger, expanding the liquid supercooled down to the second temperature T2 until it reaches a second pressure lower than the first pressure, the second pressure being equal to or greater than the equilibrium pressure of the expanded liquid, and extracting part of the expanded liquid by way of second product and evaporating another part of the liquid in the heat exchanger by exchange of heat with the part of the first flow in order to produce a vaporized liquid.

  • Publication number: 20240068744
    Abstract: In a method for liquefying a gas rich in carbon dioxide, the gas is compressed to a first pressure greater than its critical pressure in a compressor to form a compressed gas, the compressed gas is cooled through heat exchange with a refrigerant to a variable temperature to form a cooled compressed gas with a density between 370 and 900 kg/m3, the cooled compressed gas is cooled at supercritical pressure in a first heat exchanger to a temperature below the critical temperature, the gas cooled below the critical temperature is expanded to a second pressure between 45 and 60 bara to form a diphasic fluid which is separated in a phase separator to form a liquid and a gas, and a liquid portion originating from the phase separator provides cold to the first heat exchanger.
