Abstract: Insect blocking devices having floats and flappers to prevent insect access to standing water in traps. A device for insertion into a trap having a float that seals the trap from insects, when in-flow water is not present, and opens as a result of in-flow water, to permit in-flow water to pass and enter the trap.

Abstract: A network security analysis system performs anomaly detection with low false positives by implementing a multiple perspective analysis of network data. The analysis system implements natural language processing techniques to examine the content of network and time series data to identify anomalies within new activity.

Abstract: A network security analysis system performs anomaly detection with low false positives by implementing a multiple perspective analysis of network data. The analysis system takes a new approach to defining the network baseline, using, as examples, topic modeling and time series algorithms. The analysis system implements natural language processing techniques to examine the content of network and time series data to establish and maintain a definition of the baseline network state model, against which new activity is compared to identify anomalies.

Abstract: A system for analyzing security compliance requirements analyzes a linked database that includes data from the Unified Compliance Framework™. The system generates a tiered question structure to obtain information about a particular business offering, wherein questions of a particular tier are based on answers to questions of a preceding tier. Based on the information, the system generates a query and submits the query to the linked database. The query results provide a list of security compliance requirements, leading practices, and/or regulations applicable to the business offering.

Abstract: Immunodiagnostic assays for the detection and determination of mastitis and sub-chemical mastitis comprise capturing neutrophils or fragments or soluble products thereof in a milk sample on an insolubilized form of a corresponding antibody, optionally using conditions whereby the cells in the milk sample are lysed. Monoclonal antibodies are provided which can be used in said assays and which are specific to neutrophils.

Abstract: An improved method of administration of microspheres of cytotoxic chemicals to tumor sites without effect on non tumor tissue is disclosed. The method comprises injection of chemotherapeutic agents coated with a thermoplastic polymer having a melting point above normal body temperature (in a melting point range of about 40.degree.-46.degree. C.) accompanied by dielectric radio-frequency localized heating of the tumor to elevate its interior temperature above the melting point of the encapsulating thermoplastic polymer. The tumor is partially necrosed and sensitized by the R.F. nonionizing radiation bombardment and the entry of the chemotherapy agent triggered by the removal of the protective coat of thermoplastic polymer.A preferred embodiment of the invention is a dose of 30 mg of methotrexate (A-methopterin) in the form of spherical microscapsules having an average of 200-800 microns diameter and a polymer of polystearyl acrylate encapsulating coating of an average thickness of 1-50 microns.

Abstract: A long acting antimicrobial and especially antibacterial composition (a) free elemental iodine (b) a polymeric linear polymer formed from the recurrence of the 2-pyrrolidone monomer ##STR1## HAVING A MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF 1,000 TO 500,000 AND PREFERABLY WHEREIN N IS SUFFICIENTLY LARGE TO FORM A POLYMER HAVING AN INHERENT VISCOSITY OF AT LEAST 2.0 AND PREFERABLY FROM 3.0 TO 5.0 DECILITERS PER GRAM. AND (C) A HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT ISOTONIC ACIDIC MATERIAL PREFERABLY A POLYCARBOXYLATED ACID POLYMER SUCH AS POLYACRYLIC ACID OR A POLYCARBOXYLATED VINYL RESIN HAVING A MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF AT LEAST 10,000 AND PREFERABLY BETWEEN 250,000 AND 300,000 GRAM MOLECULAR WEIGHT UNITS. Ointments, dressings and sutures all are made from this polymer complex.

Abstract: A novel cigarette filter comprised a porous sponge of non woven particles of a polymer of 2-pyrrolidone of the formula:-- [NH -- CH.sub.2 -- CH.sub.2 -- CH.sub.2 -- CO].sub.n --wherein n is sufficiently large to give a molecular weight of 8,500 to 500,000 or greater. The extreme porosity of the compressed mass coupled with its gas, liquid and solids adsorptive property renders it superior to present crimped fibrous cigarette filter elements.
