  • Patent number: 11533335
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for performing a layer-2 scan of one or more communication networks to collect detailed information regarding the components/devices attached to the networks at a particular location (e.g., metropolitan area, city, university campus, building, floor within a building, etc.), and using the collected detailed information to generate a device profile for each of the devices attached to the one or more communication networks at the particular location. A server computing device may use the generated device profiles to perform inventory control operations, wireless vendor integration operations and/or security operations. For example, the server may use the device profiles to determine whether a component/device attached to any of the networks is non-benign (e.g., improperly configured, running malware, operated by hacker, spoofing a server, dropping packets, etc.), and initiate a reactive or mitigating action (e.g., quarantine the device, etc.).

  • Patent number: 11519179
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for attaching an assembled wall module to a building structure, according to which a framing section, including a plurality of structural members and a first coupler connected to a first structural member of the plurality of structural members, is connected to the building structure. After connecting the framing section to the building structure, relative movement is permitted, via the first coupler, between the framing section and the building structure in a first direction. Before connecting the framing section to the building structure, a plurality of sheeting sections may be connected to the framing section. The framing section may further include a second coupler; in such instances, after connecting the framing section to the building structure, relative movement is permitted, via the second coupler, between the framing section and the building structure in a second direction, which second direction is the same as the first direction.

  • Patent number: 8738642
    Abstract: Data is combined from multiple independent data stores, and is then queried using a data correlation engine. Contemplated engines preferably keep track of previously run correlations, and then makes those correlations available to clinicians for their own use. For example, a preferred system might provide a listing of correlations run by other clinicians in a particular medical specialty, or a particular community, whether geographic or otherwise. In another example, a preferred system might provide a listing of correlations sorted by popularity, so that the most frequently accessed correlations appear near the top of the list. In any case a clinician could simply view the list, and check off which correlations he/she would like to have run for his/her practice, or practice community.
