  • Patent number: 11599644
    Abstract: Systems and methods for preventing vulnerable software assets from being deployed by modifying the underlying source code in such a way that a build of the software asset will fail. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a system for securing software artifacts in a repository comprises a repository interface communicably coupleable to a software repository to retrieve an original artifact usable for building a software asset, and to replace the original artifact in the software repository with a modified artifact. A security scanner is configured to initiate a security scan of the original artifact and produce an output indicating the presence of a security vulnerability in the original artifact. An encoder is configured to reversibly modify the original artifact to produce the modified artifact, the modified artifact unusable for building the software asset.

  • Patent number: 11262724
    Abstract: The low profile of the flexible tooling system disclosed allows for flexible tooling to be added to nearly all CNC machines with an accommodating z-axis height and allows easier relocation of the system from one CNC machine to another. The system includes one or more pods, each of the pods of the system replacing the function of four independent actuators of earlier systems but operating with a shared mechanical frame. Arranging the mechanism into groups of four allows for greater density of part support spacing, minimizes cable requirements, and allows for air, vacuum, and vacuum sensor requirements be localized on each pod. The pods allow for part supports to be spaced as close as 6? in the x and y axis. An increased variable position assembly density allows for greater flexibility to hold complicated parts.

  • Patent number: 10662933
    Abstract: A floating coil configuration for a compressor of a closed cycle cryogenic cooler, the coil configuration comprises a coil having a positive end and a negative end and first and second springs concentrically located within the coil, each spring having a first end and a second end. The positive end of the coil is coupled to the first end of the first spring and the negative end of the coil is coupled to the second end of the second spring. The second end of the first spring is electrically coupled to the first end of the second spring such that the first and second springs define an electrical path across the coil.

  • Publication number: 20180182000
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in facilitating donation transactions to payment accounts. One exemplary method includes soliciting, by a computing device, a selection of a charity for a donation transaction, via an application programming interface (API), at a network-based interface affiliated with an issuer, in response to a donate input from a user authenticated to the network-based interface, and soliciting, by the computing device, a donation detail for the donation transaction, via the API, from the user. The method also includes, in response to the selection of the charity and the donation detail, identifying, by the computing device, in a user data structure, the payment account associated with the user and the issuer. And, the method further includes compiling an authorization request for the donation transaction based on the identified payment account and transmitting the authorization request to the issuer.

  • Patent number: 8985274
    Abstract: A mobile platform has a separate and independent linear actuator pivotally connected near each opposite end of the platform where there is a contact limit switch that when triggered by contact with the side of a flatbed, stops movement of the actuator, and thus stops movement of the platform, toward the side of the flatbed. Because each of the two actuators is pivotally connected to its respective end of the platform and moves independently of the other, each end of the platform can stop moving toward the flatbed before or after, depending on how the flatbed is misaligned, the other end of the platform stops moving toward the flatbed. In this way the platform self-aligns to the alignment of the flatbed and avoids the need to reposition a flatbed that is not precisely aligned parallel to the central axis of the loading bay.
