  • Publication number: 20250238502
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to dynamic message analysis using machine learning. A computing platform may apply a security scoring process to an endpoint relationship to compute a weighted security score for the endpoint relationship. Subsequently, the computing platform may determine a weighted grade for the endpoint relationship based on the weighted security score for the endpoint relationship. Based on identifying that the weighted grade exceeds a predetermined threshold, the computing platform may tag the endpoint relationship as compromised. Subsequently, the computing platform may monitor an electronic messaging server to detect messages corresponding to the compromised endpoint relationship.

  • Publication number: 20220330745
    Abstract: A beverage forming method and system arranged to allow a user to adjust a volume and flow rate of liquid provided to a brew chamber so that a dispensed beverage is suitable for mixing with ice, e.g., to form an iced coffee beverage. In some cases, a user may provide input indicating that an iced beverage should be dispensed during a beverage dispensing operation. For example, after a dispensing operation is started to dispense a beverage having a particular volume, a user can adjust the beverage volume to be smaller and suitable for mixing with ice.

  • Publication number: 20200292301
    Abstract: A glass product stress evaluation system is provided. The glass product stress evaluation system includes a background light source to selectively transmit light of different wavelengths and illuminates a glass product. An imaging device is mounted in proximity to the glass product and develops digitally encoded representations of internal annealing stresses formed within the glass product. The imaging device converts the digitally encoded internal stress representations into digital signals. A plurality of optical devices provides a converging view of the glass product. A plurality of filters is mounted in proximity to the plurality of optical devices and selectively transmits light of different wavelengths to the optical devices, thereby transforming detected imaged stresses in the glass product into visible colors. A processing unit receives the digital images from the imaging device and converts the digital images into visible images. The digital images can be classified into annealing grades.

  • Publication number: 20190031364
    Abstract: A fuelling method is described which comprises the steps of dispensing an initial quantity of fuel to a fuel tank, waiting for a predetermined settling period for the fuel dispensed to the fuel tank to homogenise and settle, after the predetermined settling period has elapsed, taking a fuel quantity reading using a fuel gauge associated with the fuel tank, calculating a differential volume of fuel between the fuel gauge reading and a desired final fuel quantity, and dispensing to the fuel tank a volume of fuel substantially equivalent to the differential volume using a dispensing apparatus including a fuel volume meter.

  • Publication number: 20160240340
    Abstract: An electric current responsive circuit breaker device includes a housing formed from electrically insulating material and the housing has an internal compartment and an open end. The circuit breaker further includes a thermostatic snap-action blade and first and second electrically conductive contacts such that the first contact has a stationary position disposed within the internal compartment and the second contact is disposed on the thermostatic snap-action blade. Further, the first and second contacts are coupled such that electric current flows through the contacts when the temperature of the thermostatic snap-action blade is below a threshold level, and the thermostatic snap-action blade bends to uncouple the second contact from the first contact when the temperature of the thermostatic snap-action blade is at or above the threshold level so that electric current does not flow through the first and second contacts after the first and second contacts are uncoupled.

  • Publication number: 20120255502
    Abstract: A method of treatment and a package that is designed to accomplish this. The package provides the pet owner with a pack containing individual doses of topically applied medications pre-packaged with an oral taste treat. The topically applied medication contains at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient selected from the group of chemical families comprising phenylpyrazoles, macrocyclic lactones, neonicotinoids, synthetic pyrethroids, insect growth regulators, amidines, semicarbazones, spinosyns, octadepsipeptides, and pyrazinoisoquinolines, or any combination thereof.
