Abstract: Systems and methods for differential dynamic memory scanning include, responsive to execution of a program, performing a baseline memory scan of the program; storing data associated with a plurality of memory regions of the program based on the baseline memory scan; performing one or more subsequent memory scans of the program during execution of the program to determine if one or more of the plurality of memory regions incurred a modification; and monitoring one or more altered memory regions based thereon.

Abstract: A key management service (KMS) in a cloud computing environment has an internal vault for cryptographic operations by an internal cryptographic key within the cloud environment and a proxy key vault communicatively coupled to an external key manager (EKM) that stores an external cryptographic key. The KMS uses a provider-agnostic application program interface (API) that permits the cloud service customer to use the same interface request and format for cryptographic operation requests regardless of whether the request is for an operation directed to an internal vault or to an external vault and regardless of the particular vendor of the external key management service operating on the external hardware device.

Abstract: An identity service in a cloud environment is communicatively coupled to a proxy key vault in the cloud environment and to an external key manager (EKM) located outside of the cloud environment. The identity service receives a token request for a communication credential from the proxy key vault and verifies the request based on a client credential associated with the proxy key vault. The identity service generates the client credential and signs the communication credential with a private key associated with the EKM. The identify service transmits the signed communication credential to the proxy key vault. The communication credential can be used to substantiate cryptographic operation requests to the EKM.

Abstract: Methods and algorithms for a multiplexed single detection channel amplification process and quantification of generated amplicons is presented. Various mathematical approaches for quantifying and verifying the amplicons in a reaction are presented. Usage of such methods and approaches allow upgrading of existing single and multiple channel instruments for further multiplexing capabilities.

Abstract: A computing system is provided, including one or more processors configured to provide a social media platform configured to serve a content feed to a user. The processor is further configured to generate user content interaction information by detecting user interactions with the content feed and provide a recommendation engine that selects content items for display in the content feed based on the generated user content interaction information. The processor is further configured to receive a refresh request to refresh the recommendation engine and refresh the recommendation engine at least in part by masking or resetting the user content interaction information upon receiving the refresh request. After the refresh, the processor is further configured to generate, via the recommendation engine, post-refresh content items based on the masked or reset user content interaction information, and transmit the post-refresh content items to the user device for display in the content feed.

Abstract: A disposable thrombectomy maceration and aspiration system for macerating and aspirating thrombus or other obstructive material in a lumen of a vascular graft or vessel. The system includes three major components: a disposable integrated aspiration pump and fluid collection device for generating aspiration vacuum pressure and collecting macerated particulate, a disposable integrated thrombectomy and aspiration apparatus removably coupled to the device configured to macerate the thrombus with a motor powered maceration wire while including an aspiration pathway for aspirating the macerated particulate into the device, and a catheter removably coupled to the apparatus and covering a portion of the maceration wire for insertion into the patient to the thrombus site. The catheter is of sufficient size to allow the macerated particulate to be aspirated from a distal opening through the catheter and apparatus before being deposited into the fluid collection compartment of the device.

Abstract: Integration of semiconductor tool maintenance operations on mobile devices to allow technicians to more accurately perform semiconductor tool maintenance and to allow more accurate analysis of data to improve maintenance procedures to be more repeatable, consistent, and efficient. Remote control of maintenance operations for the semiconductor tool via a portable electronic device decreases the time required to service semiconductor tools and thus increase throughput.

Abstract: The present disclosure tracks purchases and rewards for users of credit cards, debit cards or other trackable accounts. When a user is ready to purchase an item, such as an item at a retail store, a terminal at the store contacts a system for information concerning credit cards, debit cards and other accounts of the person. Information at the store discloses the category of the item and the price. The system then calculates potential rewards to the user, depending on the card or other account used to pay for the item. The user or the clerk at the store can then select a card or other account to pay for the item, e.g., a credit card or an account of the user with the store or seller of the item. A similar method can be used when purchasing on line, obtaining the price and checking for rewards.

Abstract: A method for providing a savings opportunity includes receiving an authorization request for a user transaction by a first remote computer. By analyzing, at the first remote computer, the authorization request, it can be determined if the currency being used during the transaction is different from the preferred currency (as indicated by a user profile). If there is a difference, a savings opportunity indication for the foreign transaction is generated. The savings opportunity indication may be transmitted to a second remote computer where a savings opportunity from a database of savings opportunities is matched to the user. Then, at least one of the user and the merchant is notified by the second remote computer of the savings opportunity. Alternatively, the matched savings opportunity is returned to the first remote computer for transmittal to at least one of the user and the merchant along with an authorization of the transaction.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for maintaining an interconnected network of platforms via a securities offering application. The interconnected network of platforms may comprise a master platform and at least one sub-platform. Each platform may be used to access or facilitate an offering for a plurality of securities over a network, thereby allowing issuing entities to raise capital. A first investment organization may syndicate a deal to a second investment organization. The securities offering application may further maintain a plurality of collaboration components accessible by the users to communicate across the interconnected network of platforms.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for providing users with saving opportunities of interest. The method includes developing a predictive model of user purchase behavior, evaluating a plurality of available savings opportunities from a savings opportunity data base using the model of user purchase behavior, selecting from the plurality of savings opportunities one with the highest likelihood of acceptance and communicating the selected savings opportunity to the user.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of classifying financial transactions by usage patterns of a user. The method includes analyzing metadata extracted from the information associated with financial transactions in accordance with at least one business rule. Where the analysis includes sequentially analyzing the metadata using a constant-time lookup data structure, a Radix tree, a Lucene tree and fuzzy logic methods, until a unique identifier is found that is associated with the metadata. The metadata with the unique identifier is then added to the constant-time lookup data structure to update the constant-time lookup data structure. The transaction data is then classified based on the unique identifier.
