  • Publication number: 20210360001
    Abstract: Technologies are shown for near-duplicate detection where a message is received and a fingerprint generated for some or all of its content. A distance metric is determined between the received message fingerprint and fingerprints for a cluster of other messages. If the message fingerprint matches a fingerprint in a cluster, then the received message is added to the matching cluster. A risk value associated with the matching cluster can be determined. If the risk value is greater than a risk threshold, the received message fingerprint can be added to a risk list or an alert, notification or block indication can be generated. A fingerprint can be determined for an inquiry message and, if the inquiry message fingerprint matches a fingerprint in the risk list, then an alert can be generated. The distance metric between fingerprints correlates to a similarity between the message content corresponding to the fingerprints.

  • Patent number: 11077422
    Abstract: Composite particles contain a natural stone or aggregate core and a coating of two or more sorbent layers collectively containing at least two distinct kinds of sorbent materials effective for sorbing two distinct contaminants. One or both sorbent layers may be mixed with a water-absorbent, swellable clay that, upon contact with water, causes spalling or disintegration of the coating layer to release the sorptive material into a body of water such as a pond, ditch, stream, or riverbed. Additional swellable or protective layers may also be present. The composite particles are deployed into a pond, ditch, river, or streambed where the core of natural stone remains in the riverbed. The sorptive materials of the two different sorbent layers sorb and fix a wide range of contaminants, including both the heavy and light-weight hydrocarbons, from the water, and settle as a fine sediment. The sediment with sorbed contaminants is then removed by means such as hydraulic collectors or dredging.
