  • Patent number: 12229255
    Abstract: A system for performing code security scan includes a non-transitory computer readable medium and a processor. The non-transitory computer readable medium stores a plurality of identifiers each identifying a software security analysis tool of one of several categories, including SAST, DAST and OSA tools. The processor receives an identification of code to be scanned. The processor selects at least two identifiers from the plurality of identifiers. The at least two identifiers identify at least two select software security analysis tools for execution on the identified code. The processor receives an execution result from each select software security analysis tool after performing execution on the identified code. The processor aggregates the execution result from each select software security analysis tool. A user interface displays an aggregation of the execution result from each select software security analysis tool.

  • Patent number: 11113406
    Abstract: A system for performing de-duplication of findings includes a non-transitory computer readable medium and a processor. The non-transitory computer readable medium stores normalized findings of application code performed by at least one software security analysis tool. Each normalized finding is identifiable by a fingerprint. The processor receives a first finding in a first vendor-provided format from a first software security analysis tool that performs a scan of application code. The processor receives a second finding in a second vendor-provided format from a second software security analysis tool. The processor normalizes the findings to a standardized taxonomy. The processor determines a first fingerprint and a second fingerprint that respectively identify the normalized first and second findings.

  • Patent number: 10970263
    Abstract: The computer system and method described herein attempt to address the deficiencies by analyzing all relevant data points for each test and control location collectively determine outliers and then exclude the individual outlier data points from the data when analyzing an initiative during a relevant test period. Rather than exclude outliers at the site level, the particular time increment having the outlier data can be extracted and the site can remain in the analysis.

  • Patent number: 10613691
    Abstract: A downhole apparatus including a tubular body, first and second ports in a wall of the body, and a fluid pressure-responsive valve arrangement having a locked first configuration associated with a first pressure in which the first port is open and the second port is closed, an unlocked second configuration associated with a second pressure higher than the first pressure in which the first port is open and the second port is closed, and a third configuration associated with a third pressure lower than the second pressure in which the second port is open and the first port is closed.

  • Patent number: 10428631
    Abstract: A method is for use with subterranean formations, such as oil and/or gas reservoirs. In some examples (e.g., production examples), the method improves the production from that formation. Some of the examples of the method describe selecting both an exertive force (e.g., a pressure) to apply at a wellbore, but together with a drawdown pressure at the wellbore to modify operations (e.g., improve production) at that subterranean formation. The selection of one or both of the exertive force and drawdown pressure may be based on the downhole environment at that wellbore, which can include the porosity and/or permeability of a near-wellbore formation radially surrounding a wellbore. The exertive force and drawdown pressure may be specifically selected to modify the porosity and/or permeability of the near-wellbore formation.

  • Patent number: 10337297
    Abstract: A method of injecting fluid into a formation, comprises exerting a mechanical force on a wall of a bore extending through a formation to modify the permeability of the formation; and injecting fluid into the modified formation. The mechanical force is exerted through inflation of at least one pressure deformable member mounted on a base member with a retaining ring.
