IPC Code(s): G06F13/16
Abstract: methods for local page writes via pre-staging buffers for resilient buffer pool extensions are performed by computing systems. compute nodes in database systems insert, update, and query data pages maintained in storage nodes. data pages cached locally by compute node buffer pools are provided to buffer pool extensions on local disks as pre-copies via staging buffers that store data pages prior to local disk storage. encryption of data pages occurs at the staging buffers, which allows a less restrictive update latching during the copy process, with page metadata being updated in buffer pool extensions page tables with in-progress states indicating it is not yet written to local disk. when stage buffers are filled, data pages are written to buffer pool extensions and metadata is updated in page tables to indicate available/valid states. data pages in staging buffers can be read and updated prior to writing to the local disk.

Abstract: the present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for identifying and consenting to permissions for workflow and code execution. aspects of the invention can be used to automatically scan a workflow or code definition to identify (potentially all) the actions/triggers a workflow or program intends to perform on behalf of a user. the user is shown the actions/triggers the workflow or program intends to perform (e.g., at a user interface) before consent to perform the actions/triggers is granted. as such, a user is aware of intended actions/triggers of a workflow or program before granting consent. further, since actions/triggers are identified from the workflow or code definition (and not formulated by an author), permission requests better align with permissions that workflow or program functionality actually uses during execution.

Abstract: a general methodology is presented for optimizing a value at risk (var) associated with an allocation of objects (i.e., a strategy) having variable performance and loss characteristics. for purposes of illustration, investment strategies prescribing a portfolio of items from a set of candidates with unknown and generally correlated joint losses are discussed. the framework is based on approximating the var using nonparametric estimates of the portfolio loss density and, using mathematical insights, an efficient approach to computing the var gradient with respect to the strategy. the approach also allows inclusion of constraints on the strategy (e.g. a maximum fraction per item) and allows the var optimization problem to be solved using optimization techniques such as sequential quadratic programming.

IPC Code(s): H04L9/40
Abstract: authentication request notifications are selectively suppressed, reducing notification fatigue and susceptibility to social engineering attacks. authentication request notifications may be suppressed by not presenting a push notification on the user's phone. the authentication request may still be accessed and approved by manually opening the authenticator app. notifications may be suppressed based on an estimation that the person attempting to login is not who they say they are. this estimation may be based on applying heuristics and/or machine learning models to the context of the login attempt, such as the ip address that originated the login request, time of day, recent user actions, patterns of previous logins, etc. one heuristic determines that the user has repeatedly ignored notifications caused by a particular ip address. machine learning models generate a risk score from the login context, and notifications may be suppressed if the risk score exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: systems are methods are used for facilitating identify anonymization by using controlled masking and encryption of user identifiers, such as uuids. a system that manages a uuid converts the uuid into a set of one or more different unique versions of the uuid for one or more corresponding different partner system(s) by removing and replacing masked portions of the uuid and by selectively encrypting the non-masked portions of the uuid. new masked portions added to the new version(s) of the uuid identify different corresponding partner(s) and/or rules to be applied by the different partner(s) when handling the different unique version(s) of the uuid(s). partner systems that receive the new versions of the uuid identify and utilize the new masked portions to deterministically control decrypting and/or other processing of the new version of the uuid.

IPC Code(s): H04L9/40
Abstract: embodiments detect cyberattack campaigns against multiple cloud tenants by analyzing activity data to find sharing anomalies. data that appears benign in a single tenant's activities may indicate an attack when the same or similar data is also found for additional tenants. attack detection may depend on activity time frames, on how similar certain activities of different tenants are to one another, on how unusual it is for different tenants to share an activity, and on other factors. sharing anomaly analysis may utilize hypergeometric probabilities or other statistical measures. detection avoidance attempts using digital entity randomization are revealed and thwarted. authorized vendors may be recognized, mooting anomalousness. although data from multiple tenants is analyzed together for sharing anomalies while monitoring for attacks, tenant confidentiality and privacy are respected through technical and legal mechanisms. mitigation is performed in response to an attack indication.

Abstract: the present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for extending functionality of unstructured data storage function (udsf) nodes in supporting features and functionality of services and applications that are accessible via a core network. the systems described herein include a udsf node having a udsf data management system that enables network functions to interact with and modify data resources separately maintained by the udsf node(s). a network function may selectively target discrete sets of blocks of data on records to access without accessing entire records and without issuing redundance application programming interface (api) calls to the usdf node(s). the udsf node may be implemented in a core network to enhance network functions in fifth generation (5g) and beyond communication environments.

Abstract: techniques for separating an image into a forward sweeping image and a backward sweeping image are disclosed. a lookup table maps mems projection positions on a display with corresponding pixel positions in an image generated by a camera facing the display. the lookup table is used to associate a first set of pixel positions in the image with a forward scanning sweep of the mems system. the lookup table is also used to associate a second set of pixel positions in the image with a backward scanning sweep of the mems system. the first and second sets of pixel positions are used to generate the forward sweeping image and the backward sweeping image, respectively. these images can then be used to calibrate the mems system to compensate for bi-phase.

IPC Code(s): H05K7/20
Abstract: techniques for mitigating loss of vaporized working fluid in a two-phase immersion cooling system may be implemented using one or more supplemental condensers that facilitate condensation of vaporized working fluid when the immersion tank is open, and one or more vapor collection points that are in fluid communication with at least one supplemental condenser. one or more fluid displacement devices may be configured to create suction pressure at the one or more vapor collection points. one or more vents may be positioned in the door. the one or more vents may be configured to permit movement of air from outside the immersion tank into an interior portion of the immersion tank without permitting loss of vaporized working fluid. a directional blowing device may be configured to blow a gaseous substance against a computing device in a downward direction as the computing device is being pulled upward out of the immersion tank.
