  • Patent number: 11901050
    Abstract: Methods and systems for determining whether a software application that is executable by an electronic device is compliant under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) are provided. A software application is accessed over a network. A programmed computer processor is used to determine whether said software application, upon execution, is at or above an (i) access control threshold, (ii) audit control threshold, (iii) data integrity threshold, (iv) authentication threshold, and (v) transmission security threshold, which thresholds are minimum thresholds for HIPAA compliance. Additionally, a determination that said software application is HIPAA compliant is made if said software application, upon execution, is at or above (i) said access control threshold, (ii) audit control threshold, (iii) data integrity threshold, (iv) authentication threshold, and (v) transmission security threshold. Further, a determination as to whether said software application is HIPAA compliant is output.

  • Publication number: 20240047155
    Abstract: The technology provides a system for controlling illumination of a luminous keyboard. A non-transitory storage medium stores a trained machine learning model for identifying a user sentiment. A processor receives at least one keyboard input entered by the user. The processor processes the keyboard input using the trained machine learning model to identify a sentiment or behavior of the user. The processor determines an illumination profile for the keyboard based on the identified user sentiment or behavior. The keyboard illuminates according to the illumination profile.

  • Publication number: 20240037317
    Abstract: A document production system may construct a document from fragments based on a theme associated with the document. The theme may contain section(s), each section having an access control list (ACL) associated therewith. The ACL may specify role-based user group(s) and permission(s) for the role-based user group(s). The system may evaluate rules applicable to the document. At least one rule may pertain to the ACL(s). The evaluation may include, at least in part, utilizing user login information received over a network from a client device. In constructing the document, the system may assemble the document in accordance with the rules and utilizing the fragments and meta information that describes the document. The system may render the document thus assembled utilizing the ACL, generate a view of the document, and communicate the view of the document over the network to the client device for presentation on the client device.

  • Publication number: 20240039800
    Abstract: Disclosed communication flow modeling solution is significantly streamlined in a user friendly way to shield users from the technical complexities usually required. At design time, an orchestration flow modeling application receives user instruction to open or create a communication flow modeling project. Per configuration specific to an enterprise associated with the user, a custom drag-and-drop communication flow modeling environment with a canvas and modeling entities is provided. Responsive to the user dragging and dropping a set of modeling entities from the menu onto the communication flow modeling canvas and drawing connections between them, the orchestration flow modeling application logically connects the modeling entities to form a valid communication flow and stores it in a database. The communication flow undergoes an approval process. Once approved, it is activated for execution by an orchestration server.

  • Patent number: 11876801
    Abstract: Methods and systems for establishing a chain of relationships are disclosed. An identity verification platform receives a first request for registration comprising an identification of a first user, identification of an entity, and a relationship between the first user and the entity; verifies the identity of the first user and the relationship between the first user and the entity; and verifies that the entity is legitimate. Once a relationship between a first individual, invited by the first user, and the entity is confirmed, the platform creates a custom badge representing the relationship between the first individual and the entity for display on the entity's website. The platform receives an identification of a selection by an end user of the custom badge and, responsive to receiving the identification of the selection, renders, on a domain controlled by the identity verification platform, a verification that the relationship between the first individual and the entity is valid.

  • Publication number: 20240014571
    Abstract: Dielectric inserts providing positional support for components of antenna arrays. An antenna array includes a radiating element configured to receive or transmit an electromagnetic signal and an alignment horn attached to the radiating element, wherein the alignment horn comprises a detent end. The antenna array is such that the radiating element and the alignment horn are manufactured together as a single element by a three-dimensional printing process such that manufacturing the single element does not require a separate joining process for joining separate components.

  • Publication number: 20230421603
    Abstract: Embodiments provide system and methods for a DDoS service using a mix of mitigation systems (also called scrubbing centers) and non-mitigation systems. The non-mitigation systems are less expensive and thus can be placed at or near a customer's network resource (e.g., a computer, cluster of computers, or entire network). Under normal conditions, traffic for a customer's resource can go through a mitigation system or a non-mitigation system. When an attack is detected, traffic that would have otherwise gone through a non-mitigation system is re-routed to a mitigation system. Thus, the non-mitigation systems can be used to reduce latency and provide more efficient access to the customer's network resource during normal conditions. Since the non-mitigation servers are not equipped to respond to an attack, the non-mitigation systems are not used during an attack, thereby still providing protection to the customer network resource using the mitigation systems.

  • Patent number: 11856018
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for managing routes of data traffic within a network. The management may be performed via a graphical user interface that interacts with a Web server to update a configuration file. The configuration file can be converted to router management commands by a network management device (e.g., a BGP speaker). The commands can then be sent to border routers for controlling network traffic. Embodiments are also provided for capturing and logging routing updates made in a network.
