  • Patent number: 11630867
    Abstract: A machine learning model repeatedly scans data exhaust for workstations (for which there are retention requirements regarding data exhaust) over a period of time. The machine learning model analyzes the respective data exhaust and the retention requirements to determine respective data exhaust logging parameters for each workstation. The machine learning model monitors respective data exhaust activity for each workstation over a subsequent period of time. An instance is identified in which logging activity of data exhaust for an identified workstation fails the retention requirements. An ameliorative action designed to satisfy the respective retention requirements for the identified workstation is executed.

  • Patent number: 11600165
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for re-notifying a user about a previous notification is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes determining a baseline notification rate of the user. The computer-implemented method further includes determining whether the user's current notification rate exceeds a predetermined threshold with respect to the baseline notification rate. The computer-implemented method further includes determining, in response to the user's current notification rate exceeding the predetermined threshold, whether renotification of a notification is required. The computer-implemented method further includes re-notifying, in response to determining that renotification of the notification is required, the user about the notification.

  • Patent number: 11453125
    Abstract: A method for providing active fall prevention assistance to a user. The method includes one or more computer processors mapping a work area where a user performs a plan of tasks. The method further includes determining a safety configuration related to the user and the task. The method further includes instructing an autonomous device to attach a first tether between a first anchor point and a safety harness secured to the user. The method further includes analyzing real-time images of the work area and the user while the user performs the task. The method further includes determining that the user is at risk of falling. The method further includes responding to determining that the user is at risk of falling by instructing the autonomous device to attach a second tether between a second anchor point and the safety harness secured to the user.

  • Patent number: 11240228
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for performing a validation of authentication credentials from a user. The method includes one or more processors receiving authentication credentials input in an authentication session, the authentication credentials including a username and a password. The method further includes one or more processors generating a hash of the password of the received authentication credentials. In response to determining that the received authentication credentials are not valid, the method further includes one or more processors determining whether the generated hash of the password matches a stored hash associated with the username of the received authentication credentials.
