  • Publication number: 20240179177
    Abstract: A method for creating a training playbook to train a potential target of social engineering against an attack by an adversarial actor includes generating a training playbook based on a plurality of conversational patterns from a respective plurality of dialogs between non-human synthetic persona with the adversarial actor. A given conversational pattern of the plurality of conversational patterns comprises one or more dialog interaction elements utilized by the adversarial actor during a respective dialog of the plurality of dialogs. The method also includes configuring a dialog model for a second synthetic persona to engage in a training dialog with a target trainee to train the target trainee to detect, avoid and/or mitigate a future attack by the adversarial actor. The dialog model is configured to emulate the future attack by the adversarial actor by utilizing the training playbook. The method additionally includes outputting the training playbook.

  • Patent number: 11029226
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for monitoring head acceleration and/or forces acting thereon are disclosed. A device for monitoring an acceleration or a force acting on the head of a user includes a flexible article adapted to be worn on the head of the user; and a monitoring assembly coupled to the flexible article. The monitoring assembly includes a sensor for measuring a force on the head and transmitting data relating to the force, the sensor disposed proximate to the head, a processor adapted to receive the force data from the sensor, and a flexible strip operatively connecting the sensor and the processor.

  • Patent number: 5941509
    Abstract: An air actuator has a pair of axially spaced end members and an intervening elastomeric flexible sleeve extending therebetween which forms a fluid pressure chamber. An annular clamp ring having a smooth inner diameter coacts with an annular wall on the end cap having an outer diameter with annular indentations formed therein to clamp the ring on the end cap. The annular wall defines clamping surfaces in between and adjacent to the annular indentations. The annular indentations form a series of pinch areas with the intervening sleeve, which sealingly clamp the sleeve therebetween. The indentations receive portions of the sleeve and change the direction of reinforcing cords within the sleeve. The clamp ring abuts against a radially extending surface or shoulder of the end cap to reduce axial movement of the ring during operation of the air spring.
