  • Publication number: 20240095346
    Abstract: A command line anomaly detection system can generate anomaly scores associated with command line entries, such that command line entries associated with the highest anomaly scores can be identified. The command line anomaly detection system can include a transformer model trained, via unsupervised machine learning, to determine meanings of components of individual command line entries. The command line anomaly detection system can also include an anomaly detection model trained, via unsupervised machine learning, to determine anomaly scores based on the meanings of components of individual command line entries determined by the transformer model.

  • Publication number: 20240070257
    Abstract: A method is implemented by a controller executed on at least one processor. The method provides pre-authorized access to a robotic process automation for a resource associated with a job. The method includes causing, by the controller, the robotic process automation to assume a user identity during an authentication flow to enable access by the robotic process automation to a resource. The method includes issuing, by the controller, tokens to the robotic process automation during the authentication flow. The method includes enabling, by the controller via the tokens, the identity service that governs the resource to participate in operations of the controller to provide the pre-authorized access to the robotic process automation.

  • Publication number: 20220017426
    Abstract: Primary leachate is used as a plant growth stimulant. A fermentation medium is fermented with a microbial culture in a bioreactor to produce a primary leachate comprising microorganisms derived from the microbial culture and/or naturally occurring microorganisms. The primary leachate is isolated from the bioreactor, diluted with water, and used to irrigate plants to reduce bacterial diversity and stimulate beneficial microorganisms in the rhizosphere around the plants. The fermentation medium may be organic waste, preferably food waste. A secondary leachate may also be used as a plant growth stimulant. The primary leachate is used to culture black soldier fly larvae with a substrate in a secondary processing bioreactor under suboptimal culture conditions, thereby producing secondary leachate. Melanin is extracted therefrom by acid precipitation.

  • Patent number: 10588331
    Abstract: Biological waste such as food, organic or other biologically-derived waste is converted into shelf-stable and health-safe invertebrate feed. The method for converting includes pre-treating waste by fragmenting, reducing microbial contaminants, optionally amending with components that optimize fermentation, inoculating with microorganisms and mixing. Fermentation takes place in a bioreactor and produces fermentation leachate and solid fermentate. In the post-treatment steps, the solid fermentate is separated from the fermentation leachate. The solid fermentate is ground, dewatered and milled. The solid fermentate can be used as an invertebrate feed with or without further processing.

  • Publication number: 20190161782
    Abstract: Melanin or inorganic fertilizers are produced from fermentation leachates or from low-cost nutrient-rich solutions. The method for producing the melanin or inorganic fertilizer comprises repetitive trophic cycling in the controlled conditions of primary and secondary bioreactors. Nutrients are cycled between microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and fungi and black soldier fly larvae, Hermetia illucens. Polysaccharides are partly converted into natural melanins or inorganic fertilizer, which are difficult to biodegrade and hence accumulate in the bioreactors. The method can employ, as a source of nutrients, leachates produced from food waste or from sugar-rich liquid waste of the food industry. These leachates can be used raw or can be augmented with low-cost sugar-rich solutions such as molasses, hydrolyzed cellulose or starch. The method is inexpensive and does not require the use of expensive chemically-defined culture media.

  • Publication number: 20190058193
    Abstract: A method for producing lithiated pyomelanin (LPM), sodiated pyomelanin (SPM) and potassiated pyomelanin (PPM) is provided. A method is also provided for improving the safety of lithium-ion (Li-ion), sodium-ion (Na-ion) and potassium-ion (K-ion) batteries. The method employs using LPM, SPM or PPM in the negative compartment (anode) of the batteries. These LPM Li-ion, SPM Na-ion and PPM K-ion batteries have decreased tendencies to overheat and/or explode.

  • Publication number: 20180360008
    Abstract: A method is provided for mass-rearing black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) to the mature larval stage just prior to the pre-pupal developmental stage. The BSFL biomass produced by the mass-rearing methods can be used for processing decayable biological or organic waste and converting it into protein meal for animal feeds and melanin or melanin-associated proteins.

  • Publication number: 20170361748
    Abstract: An assembly for adjusting a lumbar region of a seat frame. A support is provided for suspension in the frame and is movable between lumbar positions. An actuator having a chassis and a drive is attached to the support. A wire extends between a first end engaging the drive and a second end for attachment to the frame. First and second spaced guides are mounted to the support and slidably support the wire. An intermediate device supports the wire and has a mount for attachment to the frame. A conduit disposed about the wire has a first end coupled to the actuator and a second end mounted to the intermediate device such that movement of the drive moves the wire relative to the guides and the intermediate device so to move the first guide relative to the second wire end and the second guide relative to the intermediate device.

  • Patent number: 9514091
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer readable media for link aggregation using digests are described. In some implementations, the method can include obtaining information about each port in a group of one or more ports. The method can also include computing a digest corresponding to each port in the group of one or more ports, the digest being based on the information about the corresponding port. The method can further include determining whether each port in the group of one or more ports is suitable for aggregation in a link aggregation group by comparing the digest corresponding to each port with a digest of a port in the link aggregation group.
