Abstract: Shuffling data stored in columnar tables improves data storage security, particularly when used in conjunction with other security operations, such as tokenization and cryptography. A data table is accessed, and pointer values of at least one column of the accessed table are shuffled, generating a protected table. An index table mapping index values to the shuffled pointer values is generated, allowing a user with access to both the protected table and the index table to generate the original table. Without both tables, users are only able to see either the shuffled data or the index values. Example shuffling methods include, but are not limited to, random shuffling, grouped shuffling, sorting by column value, and sorting by index value.

Abstract: Structured data, such as email addresses, social security numbers, and the like is accessed for encoding. A set of encoding rules including one or more encoding actions and/or encoding components corresponding to each of one or more structured data components is accessed. The set of encoding rules can include one or more encoding actions and/or one or more encoding components corresponding to each of one or more structured data components. Encoding actions can include tokenization, encryption, data masking, data modification, and the like. The one or more components of the structured data are encoded based on the accessed set of encoding rules. The encoded structured data is stored, processed, or outputted to an external entity.

Abstract: Techniques and systems are described that enable improved gesture discernment from input devices, as well as simplified modeling and processing of gestures by application software layers. Given data (e.g., about movements, actions, or events) gathered from input devices, techniques and systems allow gestures to be discerned and inferred more formally and reliably, and processed more easily by an application layer. A gesture interpreter is provided that, in response to receiving an activation input data from an input device, instantiates a high-level Petri Net instance, executes the high-level Petri Net instance, and returns, to an application layer, an outcome gesture indicative of a terminal node in a path of the high-level Petri Net instance being traversed during the execution of the high-level Petri Net instance.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for restricting various operations in a file system based on security contexts. An object security context including permissible roles and defining a set of access permissions associated with each of the permissible roles is assigned to a file system object. A user security context is assigned to a user based on authentication information from the user, and the user security context identifies a user role for the user. An executable security context is assigned to an executable program. When the user has launched the executable program, a process is created and assigned the user security context and the executable security context. Responsive to the process attempting to access the file system object, at least one of the user security context and executable security context is verified against the object security context to determine if the attempted access should be allowed.

Abstract: METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A NUT BY THE PROGRESSIVE PRESS FORGING OF A LAMINAR METAL SHEET AND RESULTING NUT, in which said method comprises the steps of: producing a piece with a supporting washer, a dome and an emergent hexagonal part by press forging starting from a laminar metal sheet of material of suitable thickness, said piece being of uniform thickness; and creating a threaded internal cylinder by progressive press forging of the interior of said hexagonal emergent part, displacing material laterally from the central zones of said faces to the zones of the angles, heat treating the piece obtained, treatment intended to provide the piece with greater strength, especially a yield strength Rp 0.2% of approximately 1200 MPa and a tensile strength Rm of approximately 1400 MPa.

Abstract: COMPENSATION NUT, of the type used to perform fixing together of two parts which may be joined together at a slightly variable distance while maintaining said distance separating them, used for example in motor vehicles in order to fix the supports of dashboards to the vehicle structure, said nut being formed by a combination of a top part, one or more intermediate nuts and a base clip or nut, which are provided with threads which allow mutual mating thereof and mutual retraction or extension thereof by means of a single screwing operation, said threads each being provided with stops which limit relative displacement thereof.

Abstract: A QUICK FASTENING DEVICE FOR PANELS, of the type containing two elements that interact with one another by virtue of the moving parts thereof and which is used to provide an anchoring point for the fastening of an application to the hole in a panel, being formed from a clip and a pin, said clip incorporating tabs descending downwards from the base, and having elastic ability in order to move closer toward the center of said clip through the sliding action of elbows or hooks on said tabs, acting on the inclined profile of cavities provided in said pin.

Abstract: A REMOVABLE AND REUSABLE QUICK NUT, of the type used to fasten panels and/or accessories thereto, principally in the automobile industry, wherein on said nut, originating from a planar base, emerge individual opposite compression tabs that rise and fold toward an inner zone of the nut and that, by means of another fold, invert their direction in order on the outside to return to the height of the base, forming joining surfaces; from said surfaces there originate individual lugs or fins that, by means of successive folds, converge toward the inner zone of the nut in a position designed to engage with the screw thread of the screw for fastening the nut.

Abstract: Financial regulations can require the storing of transaction date information when conducting financial transactions. To improve the security of storing such information, date information can be tokenized prior to storage. Client devices used in conducting and processing transactions can access date information rules and token tables for use in tokenizing date information. The client device can also require and use starting date when tokenizing date information. To tokenize the date information, a client device can convert the date information into an integer, for instance based on a number of days from a starting date, and can use the date integer as an input to one or more token tables. The token tables output a tokenized date integer, which can be converted into a tokenized date using a second starting date. The tokenized date can then be stored for subsequent access.
