  • Publication number: 20230362165
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for identifying accounts having shared credentials. In some implementations, a content management system can collect user login context data when a user logs in to or accesses a user account of the content management system. For example, the content management system can collect client device data, client application data, internet protocol (IP) address data, and/or other data from the user's device when the user logs in to the user account. The content management system can analyze the login context data to determine patterns that indicate that the user account login credentials are being shared among multiple users.

  • Patent number: 11552523
    Abstract: Electrical generators having one or more conformal support and cooling devices for use in supporting and cooling rotating elements of the generator are disclosed herein. An electrical generator includes a housing, a shaft disposed axially through the housing, a rotor assembly including a plurality of poles that are disposed within the housing and mounted on the shaft, a support wedge disposed between two of the plurality of poles. The conformal support and cooling device includes an internal cooling channel in a helical configuration or a V-shape configuration that extends from a first length-wise end of the support and cooling device to a second length-wise end of the support and cooling device. Additive manufacturing processes are employed to fabricate the conformal support and cooling device.

  • Patent number: 11374413
    Abstract: A battery pack charger system includes one or more charging ports for charging one or more removable battery packs. A set of indicators may be arranged on a housing, with a subset of the set of indicators being associated with each charging port. Each subset of indicators may output an indication of a state of charge of a battery pack received in an associated charging port of the charger system. A first indication may indicate that the battery pack is charging. A second indication may indicate that the battery pack has achieved a preset level of charge. A third indication may indicate that the battery pack has achieved a substantially full level of charge.

  • Publication number: 20200108077
    Abstract: An oral composition that delivers a dose of an active ingredient, e.g., gymnemic acid (GA), directly to the sweetness taste receptors of an oral cavity, which blocks the sense of sweetness and thereby produces appetite control. The oral composition contains a sweet-suppressing agent as an active ingredient (e.g., GA), a sweetening agent (e.g., inulin), and a flavor (e.g., spearmint or cinnamon). The oral composition can include an appetite-suppressing agent (e.g., chromium.) The sweet-suppressing agent can interact with taste receptors in an oral cavity of a consumer to temporarily suppress the taste of sweetness. The sweetening agent can decrease the bitterness taste of the sweet-suppressing agent. The oral composition can be in any dosage form, e.g., an orally disintegrating tablet, an orally dispersible tablet, a troche, a candy, a jelly, a gum, an edible film or a strip, a wafer, a drop, an oral spray, a liquid, or powder.

  • Patent number: 10104044
    Abstract: Techniques for coercing users to encrypt synchronized content stored at their personal computing devices. In some aspects, one or more computing devices receive, from a personal computing device, an indication of whether data stored in at least a portion of a storage device of the personal computing device is protected by disk encryption. In response to determining, based on the indication, that the portion of the storage device is not protected by encryption, synchronization data for synchronizing a copy of one or more synchronized content items stored in the portion of the storage device with another copy of the synchronized content items stored at one or more server computing devices is withheld from the personal computing device until disk encryption on the personal computing device is enabled so as to coerce the user to enable disk encryption on the personal computing device.

  • Patent number: 9961053
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for detecting compromised credentials. In some implementations, a content management system can receive information identifying compromised login credentials (e.g., account identifier, password, etc.) from a third party server. The login credentials can be represented by a first hash value generated using a hashing algorithm. When a user logs in to the content management system the user can provide the user's account identifier and password for the content management system. The content management system can generate a second hash value from the user-supplied password using the same hashing algorithm used for the compromised login credentials. The content management system can determine whether the second hash value matches the first hash value and prompt the user to provide a new password for the user's content management system account when the second hash value matches the first hash value.

  • Publication number: 20180107891
    Abstract: A method and system (10) for mitigating fuel theft relating to refueling or recharging a vehicle by capturing an image of a unique vehicle identification marker (14), such as a an alphanumeric vehicle registration plate, comparing one or more features of the image with a record containing features from a number of images of previously captured unique vehicle identification markers, and providing an alert if the features of the unique vehicle identification marker match features of at least one of the number of unique vehicle identification markers in the record. A request (26) for payment for fuel can be required before fuel delivery is enabled or a debt payment request can be provided if fuel has been delivered but not paid for within a period of time.

  • Patent number: 9860255
    Abstract: Shareable content item links with use restrictions. In one embodiment, for example, a method comprises: receiving, from a client computing device used by an authenticated link submitter, a first request to access a server-stored content item at a shareable link; wherein the link submitter is authenticated according to a first authentication factor; responsive to receiving the first request, prompting the link submitter to enter/submit a second authentication factor; and providing access to the server-stored content item at the shareable link responsive to receiving the second authentication factor from the link submitter.
