  • Publication number: 20230319079
    Abstract: A system is provided for detecting and remediating computing system breaches using computing network traffic monitoring. In particular, the system may identify one or more technology elements within a network as well as relationships between computing systems associated with said elements to determine a network topology. Based on the network topology, the system may use historical network traffic data associated with the technology elements in the network to generate predicted entry points and lateral pathways of a security breach that may take place within particular computing systems. Then, based on the technology elements affected as well as entry points and path traversals of the breach, the system may generate and/or implement one or more remediation steps to address existing and/or future breaches. In this way, the system may provide an intelligent method of augmenting the security of a computing network.

  • Patent number: 11752867
    Abstract: Revving an engine may be helpful in various contexts, such as when servicing the vehicle. For example, in some types of services, a cleaning agent may be introduced into the intake and surrounding regions of an engine, and the engine may be revved to reduce a likelihood that the cleaning agent might puddle. In some instances, a device can be positioned within a vehicle interior and can be used to automatically rev the vehicle engine by depressing on the vehicle throttle. In other examples, an engine revving device may send a signal to an electronic-controlled throttle actuator.

  • Publication number: 20230202826
    Abstract: A fluid exchanger may exchange a fluid (e.g., coolant) in a reservoir (e.g., vehicle radiator) by removing or withdrawing a first fluid (e.g., old, spent, used, etc.) and by introducing a second fluid (e.g., new, clean, etc.). For example, the fluid exchanger may use a negative pressure, suction, or vacuum to draw the first fluid from the reservoir, and subsequently, the second fluid may be transferred into the reservoir using a negative pressure held in the reservoir, a positive pressure applied to the second fluid, or a combination thereof. The fluid exchanger may also include a multi-purpose, hand-held nozzle that can change an operation of the fluid exchanger from a withdrawing mode to a dispensing mode.

  • Publication number: 20230179422
    Abstract: A comprehensive system for chain-of-custody for hardware devices and their components. Specifically, as the components, assemblies and the hardware device are manufactured and/or assembled, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are generated for each component, assembly and the overall hardware device that indicate that the component, assembly or hardware device is in a certified/verified good state (i.e., have not been tampered with). The NFTs are generated using measured authenticity characteristics (e.g., electro-magnetic, heat, weight, dimensions and the like) of a corresponding component, assembly or hardware device as at least a portion of the input to the hash algorithm. The NFTs are subsequently communicated to a distributed trust computing network at which the nodes converge to verify an authenticity and certifiable state of the NFT, and blocks of data are generated within distributed ledgers that store the verified NFT.

  • Publication number: 20230174971
    Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods for identifying, selecting, or culturing cells comprising a subject nucleic acid sequence of interest. Generally, a nucleic acid comprising a subject nucleic acid and a sequence encoding an enzyme molecule involved in biosynthesis of an amino acid is introduced into a cell. The cell is then grown on media lacking the amino acid, such that cells comprising the introduced nucleic acid are capable of growth. In some instances, the cell further comprises an inhibitor of the enzyme molecule to increase the stringency of the selection.

  • Publication number: 20230138797
    Abstract: A system for generating an identity-based Non-Fungible Token (NFT) that uses, as a least a portion of the input file, a verified identity of the user. Once generated, the identity-based NFT is stored within a distributed trust computing network, which provides for verifying the authenticity and unalerted state of the NFT. Subsequently, the identity-based NFT can be accessed via the distributed trust computing network to verify the identity of the user. Additionally, the NFT may use other verified data as a portion of the input file, such as verified identity of users having a familial relationship with the user, verified life events, and/or verified user preferences. Further, the NFT may include one or more markers that identify a familial relationship and are configured to link the NFT to other NFTs associated with the related users.

  • Publication number: 20230102889
    Abstract: A non-fungible token (NFT)-based platform is provided for validating the authenticity of software and providing software traceability on a device and/or user-level. Software is configured by the developer with logic that detects installation and, in some embodiments, change (i.e., upgrades, patches or the like) and, in response generates a non-fungible token (NFT) that is subsequently verified via a distributed trust computing network. The NFT may be linked to one or more of the device, the user(s), IP address(es), licensee, such that a distributed ledger storing the linked NFTs can be accessed to readily determine which devices the software is installed on and the users of the software.
