  • Patent number: 11822446
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a novel approach of applying Machine Learning, statistical methods and/or other algorithms to identify associations of input conditions and values with results of requirements, measures of performance assessments, and/or other indications. These associations may be provided to an analyst, system designer, other recipient and/or receiving system or component to inform of input conditions and values that uncover system sensitivities.

  • Patent number: 10929258
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to an optimal event-driven anomaly detection scheme. The present invention recognizes that anomaly detection based solely on rules-based (deterministic) or probabilistic analysis alone are insufficient to capture and respond to ever evolving, highly sophisticated threats that tend to persist within a system undetected for long periods of time. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a tiered detection scheme composed of behavioral analysis and machine-learned probabilistic system behaviors provides an optimal level of sensitivity to detect and respond to threats, and further limits the number of false positives identified.

  • Patent number: 6749831
    Abstract: Compare core LPS (lacking O-polysaccharide side chains) from Gram-negative bacteria are incorporated into a vaccine typically in liposomes. The complete core of E. coli K 12 is particularly useful. Upon administration to a mammal the vaccine stimulates synthesis of antibodies which are cross-protective against smooth and rough forms of LPS from at least two different Gram-negative bacterial strains having different core structures.

  • Patent number: 5713150
    Abstract: A firearm with a firing mechanism having a hammer, a trigger, a semi-automatic disconnector, an automatic sear, and an electro-mechanical movement mechanism for moving the automatic sear. The trigger and semi-automatic disconnector can be used to fire the firearm in a semi-automatic firing mode. The electro-mechanical movement mechanism can control release of the hammer by the automatic sear, but only after a first firing of the firearm by release of the hammer from a mechanical interlock with the trigger. The electro-mechanical movement mechanism has an actuator attached to a piezoelectric member. The piezoelectric member moves the actuator to move the automatic sear between a hammer holding position and a hammer release position.
