  • Patent number: 12147558
    Abstract: A database system includes a persistent storage system, a memory storing metadata defining a tenant object and a plurality of database artifacts, a first instance of the tenant object, the first instance associated with a first plurality of the database artifacts including first data associated with the first instance of the tenant object, and a second instance of the tenant object, the second instance associated with a second plurality of the database artifacts including second data associated with the second instance of the tenant object. A processing unit is to execute program code of a database instance to cause the database system to encrypt the first data associated with the first instance of the tenant object using a first public encryption key and store the encrypted first data in the persistent storage system, and encrypt the second data associated with the second instance of the tenant object using a second public encryption key and store the encrypted second data in the persistent storage system.

  • Patent number: 12105724
    Abstract: A data intake and query system receives raw machine via an internet protocol (IP) such as the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). The system has configurable global settings for the received raw machine data that determine properties such as the metadata that is associated with raw machine data. Each event is associated with a token, which is also configurable and provides settings such as metadata settings for the raw machine data. The raw machine data is stored as events based on the metadata. Electronic devices that generate raw machine data may transmit the raw machine data to the data intake and query system within HTTP messages. The HTTP messages may also include settings such as metadata for the raw machine data. The raw machine data is stored as events based on the global metadata settings, token metadata settings, and HTTP message metadata settings.

  • Publication number: 20230047813
    Abstract: A method for processing a high pigment loaded cosmetic composition may provide a pre-dispersion phase, a grind phase, and a full extender phase. The method of processing the cosmetic composition may fully saturate and disperse solid particulates of at least 35% by weight of the cosmetic composition. The method for processing the cosmetic composition may provide a high color payoff in a single swipe or application. Further, the method for processing the cosmetic composition may reduce feathering and bleeding even with a high pigment load.

  • Patent number: 9166976
    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a method and system for automating workflow. The method and system includes receiving data from a portable identification key communicatively coupled to a processing device to initiate automation processes. The profile information comprised in the data is accessed, the profile information including an identification of a user associated with the portable identification key. The method and system further includes retrieving one or more instructions and parameters associated with the identified user by the processing device to initiate an automated workflow session, and initiating the automated workflow session according to the one or more instructions and parameters.
