  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AND PREVENTING ANOMALOUS BEHAVIOR OF NON-INTERACTIVE MACHINE TO MACHINE DATABASE ACCOUNTS
    Publication number: 20250335614
    Abstract: A responding computing device may receive, from a querying computing device, a database query intended for the responding computing device. The querying computing device may generate and submit database queries autonomously as part of scheduled tasks. The responding computing device may determine one or more templates of database queries associated with the querying computing device. The responding computing device may perform a validation of the database query to determine whether the querying computing device is authorized to submit the database query to the responding computing device. The validation may be performed based on the one or more templates of database queries. The responding computing device may selectively enable the database query to be executed on the responding computing device or prevent the database query from being executed on the responding computing device.

  • Print saturation calibration
    Patent number: 10124598
    Abstract: Examples include computing devices, processes, and/or machine-readable storage mediums comprising instructions to analyze at least one digital image corresponding to calibration output of a printing device to determine location saturation values for nozzle locations of the printing device. At least one printhead is segmented into segments corresponding to one or more nozzle locations. A reference segment is determined from among the segments of the printhead, and a uniformity correction value is determined for at least one segment based at least in part on the reference segment.
