  • Publication number: 20160050483
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for earphones with motion sensitive inflation. In an audio system that comprises an audio output element that is applied directly to or is in contact with at least a portion of an ear of a user of the audio system, one or more adjustments to positioning of the least portion of the audio output element relative to the ear of the user may be determined and applied. The one or more adjustments may be determined as to account for or counteract one or more conditions affecting the outputting of the audio signals and/or contact between the audio output element and the one ear of the user. The one or more adjustment may be applied by modifying characteristics of one or more positioning components of (or coupled to) the audio output element. The one or more positioning components comprise at least one inflation-based component.

  • Patent number: 9246286
    Abstract: A hermaphroditic high speed data contact set having an insert shroud and a termination subassembly. A plurality of protective arms extend from its front to protect contact beams of the termination subassembly and provide multi-stage pre-alignment of contacts during engagement. A plurality of raised bosses engaged with a plurality of hollows in the bottom of an adjacent insert shroud to allow stacking of contact sets. A pair of latches lock the insert shroud into a module after insertion. A pair of keying members on the sides of contact set prevent incorrect insertion of a contact set into a module.

  • Patent number: 8407335
    Abstract: An appliance is co-located on a network with computing devices. Log messages generated by the computing devices are collected by the appliance, filtered based on the content and stored in transmission priority queues based on the content. The appliance packetizes the log messages based on the transmission priority queue and the available bandwidth and compresses the packet. The appliance encrypts the packet, digitally signs the encrypted packet and sends the packet to a first data center over a public network. The first data center stores the packet in reliable storage and performs processing on the data. A copy of the packet is sent to a second data center that stores the copy and performs processing on the copied data. The appliance deletes the packet from its buffer after it has received acknowledgement that the second data center has received the packet.

  • Patent number: 8156553
    Abstract: Systems and methods for correlating log messages into actionable incidents. Some embodiments implement a method which includes comparing a plurality of disparate log messages to a plurality of incident descriptions. The disparate log messages can be parsed. When the messages correlate with an incident description an incident case can be created. Workflow steps can be associated with the incident case and output along with the incident case. Additional disparate log messages can be compared to the incident expressions and, when additional messages correlate with the correlated incident description, the incident case can be adjusted. In some embodiments, the adjustment can include adding workflow steps to the incident case. Results of various workflow steps can be monitored and adjustments can be made accordingly. In some embodiments, the results can include out-of-bounds activities.

  • Patent number: 7768548
    Abstract: The Improved Mobile Digital Video Recorder (IMDVR) system is a ruggedized, multiple camera video and audio recording system that is installed within a public transit vehicle to record, store, and manage an integrated data stream of data captured within and exterior to the transit vehicle. The system is focused on multiple person vehicles and the capture of an integrated data stream for use in transit security, liability, and evidentiary processes.

  • Patent number: 7594270
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a security expert system (SES) that automates intrusion detection analysis and threat discovery that can use fuzzy logic and forward-chaining inference engines to approximate human reasoning process. Embodiments of the SES can analyze incoming security events and generate a threat rating that indicates the likelihood of an event or a series of events being a threat. In one embodiment, the threat rating is determined based on an attacker rating, a target rating, a valid rating, and, optionally, a negative rating. In one embodiment, the threat rating may be affected by a validation flag. The SES can analyze the criticality of assets and calibrate/recalibrate the severity of an attack accordingly to allow for triage. The asset criticality can have a user-defined value. This ability allows the SES to protect and defend critical network resources in a discriminating and selective manner if necessary (e.g., many attacks).
