International Classification:

A61B 5/053

US Classification:

600547

Abstract:

Devices and methods for measuring a local skin parameter or the presence or concentration of an analyte present in a biological medium are disclosed.

Appl. No.:

12/612558

Inventors:

Michael PRICE - Menlo Park CA, US

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00
G06F 3/048

US Classification:

705 4, 715764

Abstract:

The invention is a system and method of appraising and managing risk relating to technology needs using a risk management processing engine. The risk management processing engine serves as a central server for an administrator to manage a plurality of policy holders and third party service technicians. The invention gathers policy holder data, determining the risk associated with the data, creating a risk management policy for technology service events and technology service situations in order to mitigate or eliminate the risk, and resolving serviceable events when risk is actualized.

US Classification:

705 50, 705 30, 726 26

Abstract:

Any of various comparisons of computer folders from different points in time is performed. Such comparisons provide the ability to discover missing documents or documents with modification dates that have changed when there would otherwise have been no need to change them and thus allows discovery of missing documents to discover fraud or to search for evidence after a fraud is suspected. In another embodiment, deltas in accounting system vendor invoice accounts are compared at different points in time, potentially exposing the practice of moving fraudulent vendor transactions into a large group of legitimate transactions for a legitimate vendor. Per period transaction totals for specific periods for legitimate vendors are compared over histokal time for suspicious activity. A comparison of reports from the two different periods, using exact data and software from those separate periods (instead of reporting from “current'” data), may raise a red flag otherwise missed.

Appl. No.:

13/192214

Inventors:

Stuart McClure - Ladera Ranch CA, US
Michael Morgan Price - San Ramon CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

726 25

Abstract:

A system and method in one embodiment includes modules for identifying an asset with a vulnerability risk, identifying a service running on a port on the asset, identifying a connection to the port, calculating an operational dependence role of the asset as a function of the service and the connection, and modifying the vulnerability risk based on the operational dependence role. Other embodiments include identifying a protocol of a data packet at the port, classifying the protocol into a protocol category with a protocol importance score, calculating a connection average for the asset, classifying the connection average into a connection category with a connection score, and calculating a service dependence score. Other embodiments include calculating a host dependence score, assigning a data importance score to data communicated by the asset, and calculating the operational dependence role as a function of the host dependence score and data importance score.
