  • Publication number: 20230376467
    Abstract: A method of resolving an identity of an entity is disclosed. Entity data is ingested. Identity fragments observed in the entity data are recorded. All or a subset of identifiers that are connected across the identity fragments are discovered. A directed graph of the identity fragments is built. An entity profile is produced by applying a set of rules to the directed graph.

  • Publication number: 20090070463
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for performing preliminary cause-based classification of events in a computer or networked computer system. Methods are provided in which, based on an event message, cause-based preliminary classification of an associated event is performed. The result of the preliminary classification is used to facilitate subsequent cause-based analysis, such as root cause analysis, relating to the event. Methods are provided in which preliminary classification is performed using a database including a catalog associating event messages with appropriate preliminary classifications of events associated with the event messages.

  • Publication number: 20080233861
    Abstract: A fan shutter having one end attachable to an exhaust fan and the opposite inlet end having a pair of vertical doors that are biased to close when the fan is off and to open by the force of vacuum when the fan is on. The use of vertical doors prevents the accumulation of dust and dirt on the doors. The vertical doors pivot horizontally in a housing that may have any desired shape, including a tubular shape with a bell mouth. The tubular bell mouth shutter design further provides improved air flow characteristics and decreased stress on the exhaust fan, compared to conventional fan shutters.

  • Patent number: 6942015
    Abstract: A body heating/cooling apparatus includes a vest having a front panel and a back panel defining a cavity therebetween. A flexible, continuous channel is disposed in serpentine fashion throughout the cavity and has adjacent portions. An inlet and an outlet are provided for infusing a fluid into the channel and for withdrawing the fluid from the channel. The adjacent portions of the channel are placed in fluid communication by passageways extending between corresponding adjacent portions at locations intermediate the ends of the adjacent portions. The passageways are configured with respect to the corresponding adjacent portions such that substantially all of a fluid flowing through the corresponding adjacent portions normally bypasses the passageways.

  • Patent number: 5967225
    Abstract: A body heating/cooling apparatus comprising an enclosure (10) for raising or lowering the temperature of a fluid (22) prior to circulating the fluid (22) through a vest (55). The enclosure (10) has a first chamber (13) where the fluid (22) returning from the vest (55) is picked up by a pump (25) and recirculated through a second chamber (16). The vest (55) has an integrally formed channel (67) that passes through the vest (55) in serpentine fashion. The enclosure (10) may also be equipped with a module for also providing helmet cooling for racing car applications.
