  • Patent number: 12536298
    Abstract: Systems and methods automating the process of application code vulnerability remediation. Implementations include building a repository of code revisions as software is checked for security vulnerabilities using or more software analysis tools. In certain implementations, historical code revisions are cataloged and stored in the repository. The revisions may be tokenized and utilized to detect and automatically remediate similar issues when new software packages are submitted to the system.

  • Patent number: 12518302
    Abstract: Aspects described provide systems and methods that relate generally to image analysis and, more specifically, identifying individual components and elements in an image. The systems and methods include a valuation application executing one or more application program interfaces (APIs) communicating with one or more websites via a network, where the user is prompted to enter information and/or take pictures or videos of their vehicle that they would like to sell. The valuation application utilizes a machine learning model to identify and value the various vehicle components within the images and videos. Based on the machine learning model, the valuation application identifies each component according to the images and videos and performs a search to determine the value of the components identified. The valuation application tabulates and summarizes the vehicle component resale values and resell information for the user to view.

  • Patent number: 12482311
    Abstract: Accident location data and present vehicle feature data may be obtained, wherein the accident location data indicates one or more locations associated with one or more vehicular accidents, and the present vehicle feature data indicates one or more sets of vehicle features. A set of prediction model parameters of a prediction model may be configured based on the accident location data and the present vehicle feature data for prediction of damage-reduction-related values associated with a set of available vehicle features. The prediction model may be used to determine one or more damage-reduction-related values based on first vehicle data indicating a first vehicle, a set of vehicle features available to the first vehicle, and a first geospatial location. A first set of features for the first vehicle may be generated based on the damage-reduction-related values.
