  • Publication number: 20230396685
    Abstract: Systems and methods for periodically modifying data privacy elements are provided. The systems and methods may identify a set of data privacy elements. A data privacy element can characterizes a feature of a computing device and can be detectable by a network host. A first artificial profile can be generated by modifying a first data privacy element based on an artificial profile model that defines a relationship associated with one or more constraints between the set of data privacy elements. Subsequent to generating the first artificial profile, a second artificial profile can be generated by periodically modifying a second data privacy element in accordance with the relationship defined by the artificial profile model. The computer device can be masked from being identified by the network host by sending the second artificial profile including the second data privacy element to a requested network location.

  • Publication number: 20210286899
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing data exposure are provided and include a data protection device embedded or otherwise coupled to a computing device. The data protection device receives communications from the computing device and intended for a network resource over a secured connection between the data protection device and the computing device (e.g., a communications interface of the computing device). The data protection device identifies data privacy elements associated with the communication and generates corresponding modified data privacy elements. The data protection device establishes access to the network resource using the modified data privacy elements, thereby causing network hosts attempting to detect the data privacy elements to detect the modified data privacy elements instead.

  • Patent number: 6099615
    Abstract: A method for improving bacteria and reagent actions on mineral-bearing particles. In the heap leaching process, the method also increases percolation of the leach solution through the heaped ore without the use of high concentrations of cement, high concentrations of high molecular weight polymers, or high concentration of any other binding agents. The method is accomplished by a process comprising the applying of solutions of varying combinations of bacteria, bacterial nutrients, or leaching reagents, together with surface acting agents onto the ore particles before the ore is formed into a heap. The reagents are applied by spray or foggers or foam into the ore as the ore is mined, transported out of the mine, crushed, or transferred to the heap, and before it is formed into the heap.
