Abstract: Techniques are described for correlating risk information and providing notifications to different devices based on the correlated risk information. An example computing device includes a memory, one or more processors, and a communication unit. The memory stores input data and a risk data model with respect to the input data. The processor(s) evaluate the input data for first risk information associated with a first remote device, and correlate the first risk information to second risk information to form a risk correlation, based on one or more characteristics of the input data. The processor(s) also determine that the second risk information is associated with a second remote device that is different from the first remote device, and generate a notification that includes information linking the second risk information to the input data. The communication unit transmits the notification to the second remote device.

Abstract: An apparatus or system for identifying a conduit, having a flexible wall, and comprising at least one open end. The apparatus or system has a gas pressure signal generator for applying a pressure signal at the open end of the conduit to be identified to cause the conduit to be subjected to an increase in internal gas pressure. At least one sensor is provided for measuring, at a measuring location remote from the open end, at least one of the following variables a) width of the conduit, b) diameter of the conduit, c) temperature of the conduit wall, d) load on the conduit wall, and e) strain on the conduit wall. The conduit is identified when the sensor(s) detect(s) a change or changes in the variable(s) experienced by the conduit so identified in response to the gas pressure signal.

Abstract: A security driver loads early in the boot process for a compute instance and detects processes that are subsequently launched and/or terminated. The detected processes can be recorded, and then scanned with any suitable malware scanning tool(s) once a user mode is available on the compute instance, including any processes that are terminated before such scanning tools are launched. After the operating system is installed and a user mode is available, other scanning tools may also be deployed (e.g., in the user mode) to augment security of the compute instance.

Abstract: A method and assembly for protecting a device connected to a wiring harness is disclosed. The assembly includes a protective tubular shield and a positioning device, with the protective tubular shield having a bore for receiving the device at least partially therein. An elongated wiring harness extends from the device being protected and through the bore of the protective tubular shield. The positioning device is formed having a band and at least one flexible, resilient finger extending radially inwardly from the band. At least one of the fingers forcibly engages the wiring harness to releasably maintain the positioning device and the protective tubular shield in a protection position along the wiring harness at least partially surrounding the device being protected.

Abstract: Disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising tedizolid phosphate, methods of preparing such pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of treating bacterial infections with such pharmaceutical compositions. Specifically, a pharmaceutical composition comprising tedizolid phosphate, an acid; and a suspending agent; and wherein the pH of the composition upon constitution with water is between about pH 2-4.5, is provided, wherein the acid is not citric acid or malic acid.

Abstract: A method comprises positioning a display screen of a mobile device and a surface of interest such that the display screen of the mobile device faces the surface of interest; emitting light by the display screen, wherein at least part of the emitted light is reflected by the surface of interest; receiving, by a camera of the mobile device, at least part of the light emitted by the display screen and reflected from the surface of interest thereby to generate at least one image; and processing the at least one image to determine at least one property of the surface of interest.

Abstract: A data recorder stores endpoint activity on an ongoing basis as sequences of events that causally relate computer objects such as processes and files, and patterns within this event graph can be used to detect the presence of malware on the endpoint. The underlying recording process may be dynamically adjusted in order to vary the amount and location of recording as the security state of the endpoint changes over time.

Abstract: A method and system for analyzing machinery operating parameters are provided. The method is implemented using a computing device coupled to a user interface and a memory device. The method can include determining an ideal curve of a first operating parameter of a machine that can include a plurality of component parts. The method also can include receiving an indication of a second operating parameter of the machine and receiving an indication of the first operating parameter of the machine wherein the indication of the first operating parameter is correlated to the received indication of the second operating parameter. The method further can include normalizing the indication of the first operating parameter to the ideal curve of the first operating parameter and determining a condition of the machine based on the normalizing of the indication of the first operating parameter to the ideal curve of the first operating parameter.

Abstract: Pooled virtual machine load balancers are described. A system determines whether a number of virtual machine load balancers that are in a pool is less than a specified number. The system creates a calculated number of virtual machine load balancers for the pool if the number of virtual machine load balancers that are in the pool is less than the specified number, the calculated number being equal to the specified number minus the number of virtual machine load balancers that are in the pool. The system receives a request to create a virtual machine environment that requires at least one virtual machine load balancer. The system allocates a virtual machine load balancer from the pool to the virtual machine environment.

More specifically, the recognition engine can locally evaluate reputation for a network address being accessed by an endpoint, and this reputation information can be used to dynamically establish a timeout for a request from the endpoint to the threat management facility for corresponding global reputation information.

Based on the pseudorandom number or sequence, the verification computing device may select a first plurality of parameters associated with a user of a device to be authenticated. The verification computing device may transmit, to the device, the pseudorandom number or sequence, and the device may select a second plurality of parameters. The device may generate a token based on the second plurality of parameters. The device may send the token to another device, and the other device may send the token to the verification computing device. The verification computing device may authenticate the device based on the token.

Abstract: Activity on an endpoint is monitored in two stages with a local agent. In a first stage, particular computing objects on the endpoint are selected for tracking. In a second stage, particular types of changes to those objects are selected. By selecting objects and object changes in this manner, a compact data stream of information highly relevant to threat detection can be provided from an endpoint to a central threat management facility. In order to support dynamic threat response, the locus and level of detection applied by the local agent can be controlled by the threat management facility and/or the endpoint.
