Abstract: A service provider provides flexible access to services using an identity provider. The service provider is associated with a custom access policy used by the identity provider to authenticate access requests associated with client devices for services of the client system. The custom access policy describes a set of access levels corresponding to variable levels of access to services of the service provider. The identity provider authenticates access requests by client devices using one or more device signals from the client devices. In some embodiments, the identity provider determines a device trust score for the client device using the one or more device signals. The identity provider provides an authentication response to the client system based on the custom access policy. The client system uses the authentication response to determine an access level for the client device from the set of access levels described by the custom access policy.

Abstract: A multi-tenant system provides software-updating functionality that selectively updates tenant systems according to a number of different factors. In some embodiments, the factors include evaluation of “health metrics” that quantify how well tenant systems are functioning after an update of software components to the latest version, policies specified by either the tenants or the multi-tenant system (or both), and/or “kill switches” specified by the multi-tenant system that prevent updating, as some examples.

Abstract: A method including capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from air (e.g., atmosphere) in an absorber in which the air contacts a base (e.g., a hydroxide, such as potassium hydroxide KOH and/or sodium hydroxide (NaOH)) to produce a carbonate (e.g., potassium carbonate (K2CO3) and/or sodium carbonate (Na2CO3)); precipitating one or more (e.g., carbonate) salt from an aqueous solution comprising salt (a brine) to provide an aqueous solution comprising a chloride (e.g., potassium chloride (KCl) and/or sodium chloride (NaCl)); using electrochemical regeneration to convert the chloride to electrochemically regenerated product comprising the base (e.g., KOH and/or NaOH); and recycling at least a portion of the electrochemically regenerated product comprising the base to the capturing of the CO2 from the air. A system for carrying out the method is also provided.

Abstract: An organization uses an independent separate authentication system to authenticate users or the organization for access to resources of the organization. The organization also uses an MDM system independent both of the organization and of the authentication system to administer the client devices of the organization's users and to ensure that the client devices handle the resources of the organization in a secure manner. In order to allow the authentication system to consider MDM management status of a client device when authenticating a user, the authentication system and the organization cooperate to establish a mechanism whereby the authentication system can securely determine whether a particular client device requesting access to an organization resource is in fact managed by an MDM system.
