  • Patent number: 11722445
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to identifying and processing suspicious emails. In some embodiments, a computing device may receive an email associated with an email domain. Subsequently, the computing device may determine a registration date of the email domain. The computing device may then compare the determined registration date to a first threshold date. Thereafter, responsive to determining that the determined registration date is before the first threshold date, the computing device may transmit the email to a recipient address identified in the email. Responsive to determining that the determined registration date is at or after the first threshold date, the computing device may execute a security risk assessment model. The computing device may then determine, based on the security risk assessment model, a security risk level of the email domain. The computing device may filter, based on the security risk level of the email domain, the email.

  • Patent number: 10868782
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a system for flagging data transmissions for retention of metadata and triggering appropriate transmission placement. Embodiments receive a plurality of data transmissions represented in a transmission queue; determine that a first data transmission of the plurality of data transmissions is suspicious; and, in response to the determination, automatically flag the first data transmission for retention of metadata associated with the first data transmission. The data transmission may then be placed in an appropriate location.

  • Patent number: 9528864
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of detecting a buildup of silt in a pipe or open channel of a fluid flow network. The pipe or open channel has a system with at least one set of velocity sensors to measure flow velocities at predetermined horizontal levels. The method includes the steps of computing flow using measured flow velocities and cross-sectional areas for each flow layer, summing the flows to provide a total flow, monitoring the measured flow velocities and storing the measured flow velocities to detect any ongoing reduction in flow velocity of at least a lowermost velocity sensor to provide an indication of a buildup of silt in the pipe or open channel.

  • Patent number: 9304023
    Abstract: The present invention provides a flow meter for a pipe or open channel. The flow meter has a longitudinal member adapted to be inserted into the pipe or open channel but free of any internal wall of the pipe or open channel. The longitudinal member has a plurality of pairs of acoustic transducers located there around, with each pair of acoustic transducers having a transmitting transducer and a receiving transducer. The transmitting transducer sends an acoustic signal to an internal wall of the pipe or open channel and the receiving transducer receives the reflected acoustic signal.

  • Patent number: 8915131
    Abstract: A method of determining the surface level of an area subject to flood, furrow or surface irrigation. The method includes the steps of providing at least one measuring cup positioned below the surface level but within the area and providing a water level sensor within or integrated with the at least one measuring cup. The levels provided by the water level sensor are used to calculate the surface level by determining the inflection point between the rapid increase of the monitored levels when the front of irrigation water passes the water level sensor. A further aspect of the disclosure is the provision of a soil moisture sensor, said sensor comprising an auger adapted to be inserted into the ground with minimum soil disturbance, said auger having means for measuring soil moisture.
