  • Patent number: 11689552
    Abstract: Methods and systems for security threat detection are disclosed. For example, a virtual machine with a network interface of a plurality of virtual machines includes a plurality of applications including first and second applications. The plurality of applications is associated with a respective plurality of application security modules, including a first and second application security modules associated with the first and second applications. A security policy engine executes on a processor in communication with a network including a network controller. The application security module detects an abnormality with a request to the first application, identifies a source and a mode of the abnormality, and reports the source and the mode to the security policy engine. The security policy engine prevents a further abnormality with the source and/or the mode from affecting the second application and commands the network controller to prevent the source from interacting with the network.

  • Patent number: 11550566
    Abstract: Software components can be automatically integrated into a control framework in a distributed computing environment. For example, a system can determine that a flag is set in relation to a complementary resource that is monitored by a controller in a distributed computing environment. In response to determining that the flag is set, the system can identify a target software component that is not managed by the controller in the distributed computing environment. The system can then integrate the target software component into a control framework of the distributed computing environment in which the target software component is managed by the controller based on the complementary resource.

  • Patent number: 11327746
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for reducing processing requirements in complex build environments. Complex build environments frequently perform multiple builds per day, in some cases, multiple builds are occurring in parallel. Some of these builds and some fail. Moreover, a definition of success or failure of a build can vary across individual engineers or teams of engineers. In a complex build environment that is rapidly generating multiple build results simultaneously, identifying which builds are appropriate for use can be difficult. Many teams solve this problem by increasing a frequency of builds to rapidly detect any problems with documents recently checked into a document repository. However, this relatively high frequency of builds can impose large processing and/or cost burdens on an organization. By providing sophisticated methods of extracting validation information from existing builds, the disclosed embodiments reduce processing requirements and improved efficiency of enterprise build environments.

    Abstract: A multi-dimensional recommended order system generates recommended orders for configurable products. The multi-dimensional recommended order system generates the recommended orders based on a multi-dimensional demand and sales metrics analysis. The multi-dimensional recommended order system determines the recommended order for each product configuration with a goal of moving a future supply mix of complex products to an optimized target supply mix. The recommended order can be generated and evaluated based on demand analysis of not only configured products but also based on analysis for demand of particular product dimensions. Thus, the system determines a recommended order for each configurable product by minimizing imbalances between future supplies and target supplies of product configurations and future supplies and target supplies of dimensions of the product configurations.

  • Patent number: 10963228
    Abstract: Computer-implemented techniques for preventing garbage object accumulation on minimal runtimes. The techniques include checking whether source code written in a source programming language that does not require the programmer to explicitly program when deallocation happens can run within a runtime that provides little or no support for implicit deallocation. At the same time, the techniques ensure that objects in minimal runtimes are deallocated in a timely manner. In one aspect, the techniques encompass generating a compile-time alert (e.g., an error or warning message) to a programmer of source code or halting compilation of the source code upon detecting a data type definition in the source code with the potential for reference cycles. With the techniques, the programmer is provided with an implicit deallocation experience while producing program fragments that interoperate with minimal runtimes that provide no or only minimal support for implicit deallocation (e.g., provide only reference counting).

  • Patent number: 10942708
    Abstract: A tool that automatically generates a web API specification from a web API documentation is provided. The tool extracts a base uniform resource locator (URL) string from the received documentation by identifying URL strings in the documentation that are valid web application programming interface (API) calls. The tool infers path templates by identifying and clustering path expressions in the documentation that invoke the same URL endpoints. The tool extracts hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request type and query parameters associated with the inferred path templates. The tool generates a specification that includes the extracted base URL, the inferred path templates, the extracted HTTP request types, and the extracted query parameters.

  • Patent number: 10878955
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and related methods for the collection, processing, evaluation, transformation, and reporting of individual health care information from diverse information systems and sources. A individual health record (IHR) of the present invention provides a structure for individuals to participate in, and manage, their health and their medical care, while still meeting the needs of health care organizations and caregivers. An IHR object may be formed by obtaining information from diverse health care information systems and sources, and transforming and re-purposing into a coherent account of the individual's overall health and care using a comprehensive health care ontology. As information from various sources is updated or available, the IHR is dynamically updated on a continuous or periodic basis.

  • Patent number: 10846285
    Abstract: Disclosed are system and methods for processing and storing data files, using a data edge file format. The data edge file separates information about what symbols are in a data file and information about the corresponding location of those symbols in the data file. An index for the data files can be generated according to the data edge file format. Using the data edge index, a materialized view of a result set can be generated in response to a search query for the source data objects stored in object storage.
