Abstract: A vapor delivery system and method is provided that includes a number of features. In one embodiment, a method comprises inserting a vapor delivery needle into tissue of a patient, activating a flow of vapor from a vapor generator through vapor delivery ports of the vapor delivery needle to cause condensed liquid to exit vapor delivery ports of the vapor delivery needle, generating vapor in the vapor generator, delivering a dose of vapor through the vapor delivery ports of the vapor delivery needle into the tissue, and after the dose of vapor is delivered, re-activating the flow of vapor from the vapor generator through the vapor delivery ports of the vapor delivery needle to prevent a vacuum from forming in the vapor delivery needle.

Abstract: A method for producing a tandem sub for a perforating gun system includes positioning an electrically conductive signal bar in a central passage of a tubular housing of the tandem sub, and injecting a mold material into an annulus formed between an outer surface of the signal bar and an inner surface of the tubular housing that sealably adheres to both the signal bar and the tubular housing.

Abstract: A method for presenting pre-approved and pre-underwritten offers to a customer may include: receiving targeting criteria based on at least one of current accounts with the financial institution, assets, creditworthiness, and credit risk for an offer for a financial product; identifying a target population of customers for the offer by applying the targeting criteria to a population of customers; reviewing each customer in the target population for underwriting for the financial product based on inferred income for each customer and accounts that each customer has with the financial institution, wherein the underwriting is performed before the financial product is offered; determining a channel to present the offer to one of the customers that passed underwriting; communicating the offer to the customer over the selected channel; and providing an accepted offer to a fulfilment engine, wherein the fulfilment engine initiates an account opening for the financial product.

Abstract: A system and method for implementing a graph database to analyze and monitor a status of an enterprise computer network is provided. In one example, a plurality of sensors can be inputted into sensor interface in which all of the data associated with the sensors in converted into a common data format. The data can be parsed into a data model that contains nodes and edges in order to generate a graph database model that can allow a network analyst to analyze the real-time status of a computer network. The graph database model can include multiple layers including an infrastructure layer, a cyber threats layer, a cyber posture layer, and a mission readiness layer. The graph database model can also be queried by a user using a domain-specific query language, so as to provide a user-friendly syntax in generating queries.

Abstract: A data processing system for processing data related to incoming interactions. The data processing system comprises a first configuration object defining a set of metrics; a second configuration object defining a number of aggregation primitives, by analyzing requirements of the set of metrics; a first processing unit adapted for receiving data related to incoming interactions, and adapted for real time calculation of at least one aggregation primitive based on this data taking into account the second configuration object; a data storage element for storing the calculated at least one aggregation primitive without storing raw data related to the incoming interactions; a second processing unit adapted for calculating one or more metrics based on the stored at least one aggregation primitive taking into account the first and the second configuration object.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a safety level of a network vulnerable to attack from at least one origin to at least one target are described. Machines, components, and vulnerabilities in a network may be associated to one another. Degrees of similarity among the vulnerabilities may be determined and subsets of vulnerabilities may be grouped based on their determined degrees of similarity to one another. This data may be used to generate an attack graph describing exploitation of vulnerabilities and grouped vulnerabilities and defining vulnerability exploit condition relationships between at least one origin and at least one target. The attack graph may be analyzed using a k-zero day metric function to determine a safety level.
