  • Patent number: 12261860
    Abstract: Disclosed techniques include integrated cybersecurity state change buffer service. A plurality of network-connected cybersecurity threat protection applications is accessed. A background synchronization service is initiated. The background synchronization service receives status from at least one of the plurality of cybersecurity threat protection applications. The status comprises high-volume incoming status data. The status is monitored, using the background synchronization service. A real-time state change in the status is identified, based on the monitoring. The identifying a real-time state change includes quantifying incoming data associated with the status. An actionable response is triggered, based on the state change that was identified. The actionable response enables self-healing of a connected security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) application system. The status is processed, using the background synchronization service, to provide the actionable response.

  • Publication number: 20240012471
    Abstract: A variable effect activation system includes one or more sensors that generate data. The data can be assessed to determine if the data is indicative of a valid input to an interactive effect. Valid inputs may be assessed based on a lenient or relatively non-stringent threshold to permit a wide variety of guest actions to be considered valid inputs. While many of these guest actions may not be recognized as part of preprogrammed interactions with an interactive environment, the system nonetheless assesses characteristics of these inputs to provide an appropriate response, e.g., via activation of an interactive effect in a manner that aligns with the characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20220251817
    Abstract: A stormwater compliance plan system is provided for creating, monitoring and complying with stormwater compliance plans (SCPs) using real-time weather and location data along with user-specific task and notification settings networked across a plurality of electronic devices. The real-time data is combined with a site-specific SCP to create a dashboard for continuous management of the SCP, including the generation of events, alerts, tasks and notifications for inspectors, managers and other personnel, along with generation of electronic forms and reports for complying with all necessary regulatory requirements relating to the SCP. Data and images from the site can be uploaded remotely from inspectors at the site using mobile devices, managed remotely by an inspector or manager, and stored remotely and securely in cloud storage for ease of access by any user.
