  • Patent number: 11036868
    Abstract: Techniques for performing auto-remediation on computer system vulnerabilities in source code are disclosed herein. An application source code representation is scanned to determine any security vulnerabilities and from those vulnerabilities, a set of security patch rules are generated that may be used to automatically remediate the vulnerabilities. One or more of the security patch rules is selected for verification and, once verified may be used to generate a security patch. The security patch may then be automatically applied to the source code representation to produce a patched representation of the application source code with the vulnerability at least partly remediated.

  • Patent number: 9956724
    Abstract: An insulated drinking vessel, e.g., a wine glass, and methods of making the same is disclosed. The vessel basically comprises a pre-molded inner vessel formed of a plastic material having a sidewall, a pre-molded outer vessel formed of a plastic material, and a ring. The ring is formed of a plastic material and is molded in-situ on a top portion of the inner vessel to cause portions of the plastic material of the inner vessel to melt and intermingle with the plastic material of the ring to form a non-superficial homogenous joint therebetween. The inner vessel is disposed within the outer vessel and the ring is welded to a top portion of the outer vessel. The ring forms the rim or lip of the insulated drinking vessel and that vessel includes an insulating air space between the sidewall portions of the inner and outer vessels.

  • Patent number: 9792443
    Abstract: Techniques for performing position analysis on a representation of an application source code are disclosed herein. An application source code is scanned to produce a representation of the application source code, start locations within the representation are determined, corresponding stop locations within the representation are determined, and a set of data impact locations within the representation are determined. The set of data impact locations are then used in a dataflow analysis to determine a position of high control of the data within the representation.

  • Patent number: 9771205
    Abstract: An insulated drinking vessel, e.g., a wine glass, and a method of making the same is disclosed. The drinking vessel basically comprises an outer vessel, an inner vessel and a ring. The inner and outer vessels each include a sidewall. The sidewalls are spaced apart. At least one of the outer vessel, the inner vessel and the ring are pre-molded to form an integral structure having a vestige of a molding gate used to mold the integral structure. At least one of the inner and outer vessels and the ring is molded in situ on the integral structure to cause portions thereof to melt and intermingle to form a non-superficial homogenous joint, with the ring forming the rim or lip of the insulated drinking vessel.

  • Publication number: 20160345763
    Abstract: An insulated vessel, e.g., a tumbler, and method of making the same is disclosed. The vessel basically comprises a pre-molded inner vessel formed of a plastic material having a sidewall is disposed within a pre-molded outer vessel formed of a plastic material having a sidewall to form a subassembly having an insulating air space between the sidewalls. A ring of plastic material is molded in-situ on top portions of the inner and outer vessels of the subassembly to cause portions of the plastic material of the inner and outer vessels to melt and intermingle with the plastic material of the ring to form a non-superficial homogenous joint. The ring forms the rim or lip of the insulated drinking vessel.
