  • Patent number: 11960880
    Abstract: Systems and methods for remediation of software configurations are disclosed. The system may store a plurality of configuration policies in a compliance repository. The system may receive trigger data including at least one compliance error and indicating a software instance operating on a cloud service is out of compliance. The system may compare the at least one compliance error with the plurality of configuration policies. When at least one compliance error matches at least one configuration policy, the system may identify a software configuration file and apply the matching configuration policy to the software configuration file to remediate the software instance. When the at least one compliance error does not match at least one configuration policy, the system may generate a new configuration policy, validate the new configuration policy, and apply the new configuration policy to the software configuration file to remediate the software instance.

  • Patent number: 11816639
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may establish an interview session between a first client device associated with an interviewer and a second client device associated with a candidate. The system may transmit, to the first client device associated with the interviewer, a first user interface during the interview session between the first client device and the second client device. The system may transmit, to the second client device associated with the candidate, a second user interface during the interview session between the first client device and the second client device. The system may receive, from the first client device, the feedback associated with the interview session. The system may transmit, to a human resource system, the feedback to enable a hiring recommendation regarding whether to offer the position associated with the interview session to the candidate.

  • Patent number: 11376445
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for single isocenter radiotherapy of multiple targets. Conformal arc information may be used in a Conformal Arc Informed Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (CAVMAT) method that includes single isocenter radiotherapy of multiple targets where conformal multi-leaf collimator (MLC) trajectories may be used as the starting point for limited inverse optimization. Single isocenter radiotherapy of multiple targets may provide flexibility with less complex MLC trajectories, and fully block between targets with the MLC.

  • Patent number: 10288531
    Abstract: A container assembly such as a petri dish or a contact plate for use as a sampling device for microorganisms includes a base member, a lid and a locking mechanism that provides a secure locking engagement between the lid and the base member. The locking mechanism is designed such that does not lock except upon application of a specific intentionally applied compressive force, and which may be readily disengaged from locking engagement without the need for a rotational movement or torsional force.

  • Patent number: 9562196
    Abstract: An enhanced Fischer-Tropsch process for the synthesis of sulfur free, clean burning, green hydrocarbon fuels, examples of which include syndiesel and aviation fuel. Naphtha is destroyed in a hydrogen generator and recycled as feedstock to a syngas (FT) reactor in order to enhance the production of syndiesel from the reactor. A further variation integrates a second hydrogen generator capturing light hydrocarbon gas for conversion to hydrogen and carbon monoxide which supplements the Fischer-Tropsch reactor. The result is a considerable increase in the volume of syndiesel formulated. A system for effecting the process is also characterized in the specification.

  • Publication number: 20050288978
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method/system for transferring test data from a supply chain to a demand chain. This process includes performing a supply side reconciliation of the test data and a demand side reconciliation of the test data upon the occurrence of a trigger event in the supply chain. Then, the invention processes this reconciled data through a business rules database to process entitled test data for correctness, and verifies that the entitled data is supplied to selective points in the demand chain.
