  • Publication number: 20230353587
    Abstract: Systems and methods include receiving network transaction data for a plurality of users monitored by a cloud-based system; creating a relationship graph based on the plurality of user's recent network transactions for a time period, wherein the relationship graph includes vertices for domains and edges for transactions by users between the domains having some number of transaction in the time period; and analyzing the relationship graph to detect previously undetected suspicious anomalies. The weights on each edge are based on a relationship between two domains where the relationship includes any of malware, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, Autonomous System Number (ASN), registration, and redirects.

  • Patent number: 11707172
    Abstract: Method for operating a dirt collecting device for a sweeping vehicle or for a vacuum cleaner nozzle of a floor or upright vacuum cleaner, which each comprise a suction fan with controllable speed and/or power, wherein in a first method step, the suction power of the suction fan is set at such a low level that the suction pressure in the dirt collecting device or the vacuum cleaner nozzle is merely sufficient to convey and deposit the absorbed coarse dirt into the intermediate container, and to convey the absorbed fine dirt into a downstream collection container, (normal operation); and that in a second method step, the filling level in the intermediate container is detected with respect to the coarse dirt deposited therein; and that in a third method step, if the filling level in the intermediate container is exceeded, the suction power of the suction fan is increased such that the coarse dirt, which is temporarily deposited in the intermediate container, becomes dispersible and is conveyed into the downstrea

    Abstract: An operating element for operating a machine by an operator in which control lines for connecting the control lever with a control unit in at least a paired design is provided. A first wiring harness and a second wiring harness run along the control lever to the receptacle. The first wiring harness runs from a first starting point to the receptacle and the second wiring harness runs from a second starting point to the receptacle. The first starting point and second starting point are arranged at a distance from the receptacle. The first wiring harness at a first connection point is connected to the receptacle, and the second wiring harness at a second connection point is connected to the receptacle. The first and the second connection point are arranged separately from each other on a straight connecting line, and the connecting line runs through a central axis of the control lever.

  • Patent number: 11449646
    Abstract: A method is provided for the creation of an addendum for use in the design and production of sheet metal formed components, which method uses a sectionless approach. In a preferred approach, elevation curve (EC) lines are established relating to the component (ECc) and binder (ECb), and it is these lines which are used to design the addendum. Additional EC lines (EC1, EC2, EC3, etc.) can be added to modify or optimize the addendum design. The spaces between the EC lines are filled using various parameterized filling techniques so as to provide the addendum design. Optimization of the addendum can be achieved by modification of the various EC lines, so as to modify or control the various design parameters, in accordance with various quality or design criteria. A more rapid, and less complicated approach to addendum design is provided.

  • Patent number: 10965716
    Abstract: A request to establish a session with a first server is received from a client device. The first server is associated with a first hostname, and the request includes information identifying a second hostname purported to correspond to the first server. A Domain Name System (DNS) lookup using the second hostname is performed. A determination that the second hostname was spoofed by the client device is determined based on a response to the DNS lookup. In response to the determination being made that the request received from the client device includes the spoofed second hostname, a determination that the client device has injected or overridden at least one of an HTTP Host header and a Server Name Indicator in the request is made, and an action to take with respect to the client device is determined.
