Abstract: In some examples, a system applies an inline detection of a write of data in a storage, the inline detection to detect potential data encryption of the data. In response to an indication of the potential data encryption, the system creates a first object that represents a first version of the data, and applies a further analysis to determine whether the potential data encryption constitutes unauthorized data encryption, the further analysis based on the first object and a second object that represents a second version of the data that is prior to the first version of the data.

Abstract: A body of water is aerated by propelling in the body of water a water pumping arrangement including a sheath having a turning propeller that (a) sucks water from the body into the sheath interior via openings in the sheath, (b) forces the sucked water upwardly and (c) forces the upwardly forced water through another opening in the sheath below the surface of the body of the water. Water forced through the another opening (i) has speed greater than the speed of the water sucked into the sheath and (ii) causes air bubbles to be induced in the water above the another opening.

Abstract: A toner clean-off head utilizing a vacuum for removing liquid toner from a moving record medium having a latent electrostatic image thereon, in which the contact surface of the clean-off head is cylindrical so that the record medium easily conforms to ensure proper removal of the toner with a minimum of applied vacuum. A thin clean-off blade is positioned in a slot in the cylindrical contact surface so that the edge of the blade forms an element of the surface, and an inlet air passage and a toner exhaust passage in communication with vacuum means are defined on either side of the blade.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for charging a charge retentive surface of a record medium with a latent electrostatic image. The apparatus comprises a plurality of arrays of recording electrodes. The arrays are alternately divided into first and second groups of arrays. A plurality of complementary electrodes are mounted adjacent the record medium in electrical cooperative relationship with a single array in each of the first and second groups of arrays. The apparatus further includes a control circuit for the recording and complementary electrodes. The control circuit comprises a first group actuating circuit for actuating like-numbered recording electrodes in each array in the first group of arrays, a second group actuating circuit for actuating like-numbered recording electrodes in each array of the second group of arrays, and complementary electrode actuating circuitry for actuating complementary electrodes in electrically cooperative relationship with a selected array of recording electrodes.

Abstract: A toner head is disclosed for applying liquid toner to a moving record medium having a latent electrostatic image thereon, in which the contact surface of the head is curved in a cylindrical form to ensure proper engagement of the record medium during toning. Since the toner is circulated through the system by a vacuum pump arrangement, pressure relief means are provided to prevent an inward deflection of the record medium that could choke off toner flow during periods when the record medium is not moving over the toner head. In one embodiment, the toner head comprises a plurality of identical modules which are oriented alternately in opposite directions, so that some serve as toner inlet stations and some as exhaust stations. A toner clean-off head having a cylindrically curved contact surface is also disclosed.

Abstract: A graphic recording technique is disclosed for the enlargement of a relief configuration. A micro-stylus is used to scan the configuration laterally while measuring vertical irregularities in the surface; and a recorder stylus is synchronized therewith to record the scan. A series of scans are provided where each successive scan is offset from the previous scan to produce a topographical representation of the relief configuration from the recorder stylus. Vertical movements of the micro-stylus along the surface of the relief configuration are reproduced by the recorder stylus as movements on the ordinate axis in combination with the scan offset thus producing a two dimensional graphical display of a three dimensional relief configuration. Hidden contours of the relief configuration are accurately suppressed by causing the recorder stylus to stop recording at the boundary of a previously written scan area and to begin recording once the previously recorded area has been departed.

Abstract: Pulsed droplet ejecting systems are described of the type in which a conduit conducts liquid from a reservoir to an orifice. The liquid is under zero or slightly negative pressure, and surface tension in the orifice prevents flow in the absence of other forces. An electroacoustic transducer is coupled to the liquid and when an electric pulse is applied a pressure wave travels in the liquid to the orifice causing ejection of a droplet of liquid. Systems of this type work well only when free of entrapped air, a condition difficult to achieve in prior art designs. Means are disclosed for readily and reliably filling such systems without entrapment of air pockets. A second conduit is permanently or temporarily joined to the first conduit adjacent to or in place of the orifice, and means are provided for temporarily causing rapid flow of liquid from the reservoir through the first conduit into and through the second conduit.
