  • Patent number: 10432658
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for causing an action to be performed in response to a network communication, such as a malicious network communication. In accordance with some embodiments, a first network communication sent from a client device is received, and a protocol used in the first network communication is determined. Once the protocol is determined, the protocol may be implemented to enable a second network communication with the client device. An action to be performed based at least in part on the protocol may be identified, and an instruction may be sent to the client device in the second network communication.

  • Patent number: 10360208
    Abstract: A method is provided for process reconstruction, including extracting system type attributes and associated system identification attributes from pieces of data, each system type attribute containing information identifying the type of system that generated the data, and each system identification attribute containing information identifying the system that generated the data; extracting a process identification attribute from the pieces of data that identifies the pieces of data as belonging to a process instance; determining a hierarchy of functions based on a grouping operation, the hierarchy being based on the system type attributes and the system identification attributes; generating a configuration file for applying reconstruction methods that is set to selectively apply each of the reconstruction methods based on the hierarchy of functions and a mapping table that pairs the system type attributes and the reconstruction methods; and applying the reconstruction methods to the pieces of data according to

  • Publication number: 20070254849
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2) inhibitors and methods of their use in the treatment of cardiac conditions. In general, the RyR2 inhibitors of the present invention assist in the normalization of intracellular calcium homeostasis. In certain embodiments, the RyR2 inhibitors are store-overload-induced Ca2+ release (SOICR) inhibitors that minimally inhibit or do not inhibit Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR), thereby providing beneficial effects in cardiac therapy.
