  • Publication number: 20240067567
    Abstract: An alumina-based ceramic tool material with low thermal expansion and a preparation process thereof, accordingly, the ceramic tool material may have both the high hardness of alumina ceramics after the hot pressing sintering, and reduces the thermal expansion coefficient of the overall ceramic material by adding the Sc2W3O12 as the negative thermal expansion phase, which improves the thermal shock resistance of ceramic tools in high-speed cutting engineering and meets the requirements of large temperature range during the machining of nickel-based superalloys. Moreover, the composite material does not use metal binder and has strong thermal stability even in the high-speed machining under extreme heat-force-chemistry coupling, so it has a high machining compatibility for nickel-based superalloys.

  • Patent number: 11379578
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for performing sandboxing to detect malware. Sample files are received and activated individually in separate sandboxes in one mode of operation. In another mode of operation, sample files are assigned to pools. Sample files of a pool are activated together in the same sandbox. The sample files of the pool are deemed to be normal when no anomalous event is detected in the sandbox. Otherwise, when an anomalous event is detected in the sandbox, the sample files of the pool are activated separately in separate sandboxes to isolate and identify malware among the sample files.
