  • Patent number: 10846166
    Abstract: An anomaly detector for a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus performs state space classification on a per-message basis of messages on the CAN bus to label messages as normal or anomalous, and performs temporal pattern analysis as a function of time to label unexpected temporal patterns as anomalous. The anomaly detector issues an alert if an alert criterion is met that is based on the outputs of the state space classification and the temporal pattern analysis. The temporal pattern analysis may compare statistics of messages having analyzed arbitration IDs with statistics for messages having those analyzed arbitration IDs in a training dataset of CAN bus messages, and a temporal pattern is anomalous if there is a statistically significant deviation from the training dataset. The anomaly detector may be implemented on a vehicle Electronic Control Unit (ECU) communicating via a vehicle CAN bus.

  • Patent number: 9183561
    Abstract: Automatic trend analysis is provided on a dataset. Upon selection of a data cell or chart point within a data representation, a trend chart is automatically generated in order to demonstrate how the data within the selection trends over time. The system may automatically configure the trend chart based on the metadata of a data source associated with a selected data such that no input or configuration is needed by a user. The system may identify the time hierarchies and other data attributes included in the metadata of the data source associated with a selected data cell and may automatically configure the axis settings and the trend lines according to metadata of the data source. The trend chart may also be configured to display multiple trend lines for comparing multiple data set trends over a specified time period.

  • Patent number: 8323899
    Abstract: Magnetic particles for nucleic acid isolation are coated with silica and separated from impurities and nanoparticulates using a multi-step fractionation process. In each cycle of the fractionation process, the particles are stirred, sedimented, and resuspended, resulting in a decline in pH of the suspended particles. Repeating the fractionation process until the resuspended particles have dropped to a target pH in the range of about 9 to 10.5, and their zeta potential is more negative than about ?40 mV, results in a purified population of particles with a high and reproducible binding capacity for nucleic acids. The silica-treated magnetic beads produced by the method offer improved sensitivity and consistency for recovery of nucleic acids in a sample.
