Patent number: 11736508Abstract: A system and method for managing the security health of a network devices interconnected with each other in a service provided in an entity. The security health of the networked device is evaluated by determining a cyber risk score for the entity having a plurality of devices. A first set of data from individual network devices and a second set of data including risk data from an external data source are collected by a data collector. The collected data is normalized into a format which can be further correlated by a correlation engine. The correlating step enables to determine cyber risk scores for the individual network devices. The cyber risk score for the entity may further be determined by aggregating the individual cyber risk scores of the individual network devices. The risk scores are displayed by a web-based user interface which is enabled by an application programming interface.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: JOHNSON CONTROLS TYCO IP HOLDINGS LLPInventors: William M.

Patent number: 10984145Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed that, in an embodiment, receive first input from a user of a candidate formulation recipe, and second input from the user of target properties and target property constraints. The system inputs the first input into a machine learning model, the model having been trained using historical training data, each element of the historical training data corresponding to a known formulation having a known feature representation, each known formulation having associated properties and statistical representations of each feature of the known formulation that form the known feature representation. The system receives as output from the model a predicted property of a candidate formulation derived using the first input and the likelihood that the candidate formulation satisfies the target property constraints using the second input. The system generates for display to the user a predicted likelihood that the predicted property satisfies the second input.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2020Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: CITRINE INFORMATICS, INC.Inventors: Maxwell Lipford Hutchinson, Edward Soo Kim, Ryan Michael Latture, Sean Phillip Paradiso, Julia Black Ling

Patent number: 10519332Abstract: The invention describes the use of a water-based energy curable inkjet ink or coating composition comprising one or more synthetic rheology modifiers, one or more energy curable resins, one or more tertiary amines, and water. The viscosity of the water-based energy curable inkjet ink or coating compositions is fine tuned to the requirements of the print head through the use of a synthetic thickener. The extremely low levels required of this type of material are particularly advantageous because they then have little if any impact on the physical properties of the dried and UV cured ink. Surprisingly, the use of s synthetic thickener at these low levels gives Newtonian character inks.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2016Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Sun Chemical CorporationInventors: Shaun Lawrence Herlihy, Sean Phillip Francis Mayers
