  • Patent number: 11811894
    Abstract: A computer-based method of reducing or limiting data transmissions from a computer to a remote network destination includes receiving an indication, at an agent on a computer, that a recent user activity has occurred at the computer. The indication typically includes data relevant to user context when the user activity occurred. The method further includes determining, with the agent, whether the data relevant to the user's context when the user activity occurred indicates that a change in user context relative to a user activity at the computer immediately prior to the recent user activity and conditioning a transmission of data relevant to the recent user activity from the computer to a remote network destination based on an outcome of the determination.

  • Patent number: 11775670
    Abstract: A system for preventing duplication of a computer source file to a destination file includes a user application accessed by a user of a computer. An agent application hosted by the computer registers for a notification of a user interface action with an operating system (OS) of the computer. The agent receives notice from the OS of the user interface action and determines if the user interface action is indicative of a data file duplication operation of a source file to a destination file location The Agent compares a property of the source file and a property of the destination file location to a blocking criteria, and blocks the user interface action from reaching the application.

  • Patent number: 11747966
    Abstract: A computer-based method includes: receiving an indication from a computer's operating system that a user has performed a first action that may have caused a context menu with a paste option to open on a screen of the computer, and subsequently receiving an indication from the computer's operating system that the user has performed a second action at the computer that may have amounted to a selection of the paste option on the context menu. In response to the indication from the computer's operating system that the user has performed the second action, the method includes determining if the second action by the user amounted to a selection of the paste option on the context menu and thereby cause a paste action to occur.

  • Publication number: 20220083646
    Abstract: A system and method monitors access of an external storage device connected to a target device. A notification of a connection of the external storage device to the target device is received, a notification of an external file access on the external storage device is received, and activity of a user on the target device is monitored to detect a user operation accessing a source file stored on the target device. Events are logged based upon the connection, the user operation, and the external file access. Two or more of the events are associated with a copy of the source file to the external connected storage device and the source file history. An alert regarding the association is forwarded to a monitor application in communication with the target device.

  • Publication number: 20220075870
    Abstract: A system monitors access to a computer file via a dynamically changeable nonĀ¬ heterogeneous collection load balanced across two hash tables. User activity is monitored on a target device to detect a user entered pattern including a wildcard character. A server in communication with the target device, receives the user entered pattern, selects one of the two hash tables, and calculates an index for a pattern for the selected hash table based on the user entered pattern. The index is used to access the selected hash table to receive a stored pattern. The hash tables each have a plurality of entries, and each entry includes a list of one or more patterns that have the same hash index but different pattern values sorted by length in characters from longest to shortest.

  • Patent number: 10576045
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI), particularly, fluoxetine and reboxetine, for treating obesity. Surprisingly, the inventor of the present invention discovered that use of especially low doses of the active compounds, particularly, at most 6 mg/day of reboxetine and at most 20 mg/day of fluoxetine, wherein the reboxetinerfluoxetine ratio is from about 1:4 to about 1:6, induces an effective weight loss in obese patients. Advantageously, the combinations of the present invention include very low doses of the active ingredients, thereby decreasing possible drug-drug interactions and adverse drug reaction.
