Abstract: Methods and apparatus for transparently processing files that are manipulated between a server computer and a client computer using the CIFS protocol. The transparent processing employs an in-line CIFS proxy and may include virus scanning, content scanning, and/or security policy implementation.

Abstract: A system for encouraging a user to perform substantial physical activity. The system may include sensors that may be worn by the user while the user is performing a substantial physical activity, such as running or playing basketball. The sensors may detect the magnitude of the physical activity and may transmit data regarding the physical activity to a processing system. The processing system may display a reward to encourage the user for participating in physical activity and the reward provided may be based on the physical activity of the user.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method detecting malware that includes providing a malware detection application and providing a search engine, the search engine being configured to receive data and commands from the malware detection application and to return data pertaining to search results to the malware detection application. The method also includes sending at least one of scan options and at least one malware-suggestive pattern from the malware detection application to the search engine. The method additionally includes searching, using the search engine and the at least one of scan options and the at least one malware-suggestive pattern, to obtain data pertaining to scan targets. The method also includes sending the data pertaining to the scan targets from the search engine to the malware detection application. The method further includes performing malware detection, using the malware detection application and the data pertaining to the scan targets, on the scan targets.

Abstract: A self-setting security guarding system and method for protecting against unauthorized access to data stored in a data processing apparatus, comprising setting various items used to guard data, wherein the items consist of protected areas with access control for data storage and access therein, authorized types of files with access controls, and access rules of safety regulations enabling the data processing apparatus to verify access to data contents stored therein or in the protected area thereof; and detecting access events of the protected area or types of files using the access control and generating a request for analysis when an access event is detected, and further analyzing whether the detected access event complies with the access rules and the analysis request to permit or deny execution of said access event depending on whether it complies or not with safety regulations.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided for a power converter system. The method includes: automatically configuring the power converter system to operate with burst mode functionality if a control module of the power converter system is coupled in a first arrangement; and automatically configuring the power converter system to operate without burst mode functionality if the control module of the power converter system is coupled in a second arrangement.

Abstract: A data write/read auxiliary device and method for writing/reading data are provided. A data storage unit and a program storage unit are installed in the data write/read auxiliary device, wherein the program storage unit is for storing automatic execution program and protection program. When the data write/read auxiliary device is connected to a data processing device, the automatic execution program is executed for automatically executing programs stored in the program storage unit. The protection program is executed for executing an access process on data storage unit to judge whether driving a write/read head or not based on outcome of the access process when a file sharing software is executed for data downloading and uploading. Through the data storage unit as a buffer area of data before writing/reading data on a hard disk, the data write/read auxiliary device and method for writing/reading data can protect the hard disk.
