  • Patent number: 10601839
    Abstract: Accessing a security enabled application may require certain access privileges that are not readily available or associated with the application at the time a user is seeking access via a login operation. In operation, an access attempt to a security enabled application may include identifying user credentials associated with the access attempt, generating a query based on the user credentials to identify whether the user credentials are associated with a predetermined group membership. A response to the query may be received that includes group information corresponding to the user and the group information may be compared to a set of predetermined rules to determine whether the group information includes privilege rules used to grant access to the access attempt.

  • Patent number: 10487264
    Abstract: A pyrolysis apparatus reduces feedstock to gaseous energy sources and recyclable solids by moving feedstock through a processing unit via a feedstock transport mechanism that has sections that move the feedstock at respectively different rates through a retort within the processing unit. The feedstock transport mechanism may be an auger with a variable flighting pitch along its shaft. The pyrolysis apparatus may be modular in that processing units may be added and subtracted as necessary for any given installation. A restriction device squeezes ambient air out of the feedstock prior to entry into the pyrolysis apparatus retort.

  • Patent number: 10378841
    Abstract: The invention is an improvement to a typical firearm drum magazine cartridge feeding system. The improvement provides firearm drum magazine feeding systems with features that work together in tandem to actuate a typical firearm bolt catch. The firearm bolt catch is a common feature in many firearms with the purpose of halting the forward momentum of a firearm bolt. By actuating the firearm bolt catch, a firearm operator is aware that a drum magazine is empty of firearm cartridges. The advantage of this improvement is twofold. First, a firearm enthusiast or soldier utilizing a drum magazine with this improvement will enjoy the benefit of not taking an additional step to pull back a firearm bolt before reloading, and any person will enjoy the added safety benefit of knowing when a firearm is unloaded and safe to handle.

  • Patent number: 10313285
    Abstract: A system, method, and program for the processing of large amounts of email based on user-configurable criteria in close to real-time. The invention enables filtering of all journaled emails in an organization for the duration of a regulatory proceeding, or for audit purposes, thus greatly reducing the manual effort required to produce a targeted set of emails. The journaling feature copies all unique emails coming through the distributed email server farm to a smaller set of email mailboxes. The filtering application could run as a batch operation on each of those “journaling” mailboxes at periodic intervals or could run interactively. The user-defined filter criteria are applied to the emails filling up the “journaling” mailboxes, and matches are separated from the non-matches for analysis. The invention can be executed on offline data, such as personal message stores or individual compound message files.
