Abstract: The present disclosure provides a detailed description of techniques used in systems, methods, and in computer program products for bi-directional social media broker services that connect multiple social media sites using a common management framework. The claimed embodiments address the problem of efficiently scaling and managing bidirectional interaction with multiple social media publishing channels. More specifically, the claimed embodiments are directed to approaches for a computing platform having multiple message broker modules that enable bi-directional communication of messages between a common resource manager and a plurality of social media sites. The message broker modules can receive messages in a unified message format from the common resource manager, queue the messages for asynchronous processing, translate the messages from the unified message format to a site-specific format, and deliver the translated messages to multiple social media sites.

Abstract: The present application provides a white balance processing method and apparatus. The method comprises: recognizing a portrait region in an image; calculating a target white balance gain value according to the area occupied by the portrait region in the image; and performing white balance processing on the image according to the target white balance gain value. The present application resolves the problems of poor user experience due to inaccurate image color restoration caused by a small area proportion of a human face region in an image during white balance adjustment according to the white balance gain value determined according to the area occupied by the human face in the case of a long photography distance.

Abstract: An attachment to an e-mail message received at an e-mail gateway is scanned by a scan server and then is converted into an HTML file. The HTML file includes preview data of the attachment (minus any macro scripts), the entire original data of the attachment, scan functionality enabling a user to send the attachment back to a scan server for a second scan, or extract functionality enabling a user to extract the original attachment data for saving or opening in an application. The recipient is able to open or save the attachment directly if he or she believes it comes from a trusted sender. If the attachment seems suspicious, the recipient previews the attachment first before performing a scan, opening the attachment or deleting it. The recipient performs a scan of the attachment by clicking a “scan” button to send the attachment to a backend server for a second scan where an updated virus pattern file may be available to detect any zero-day malware.

Abstract: Phosgene is mixed with an organic polyamine to produce polyisocyanate compounds. A phosgene flow is established in a conduit (15), and the organic polyamine is injected into the phosgene flow. A constricted region (4) of the conduit (15) resides downstream of the point of the polyamine injection. The presence of the constricted region (4) reduces by-product formation.

Abstract: The presently-disclosed solution provides an innovative system and method to protect a computer user from a phishing attack. Computer vision is effectively applied to match identifiable key information in suspect content against a database of identifiable key information of legitimate content. In one embodiment, the presently-disclosed solution converts suspect content to a digital image format and searches a database of logos and/or banners to identify a matching logo/banner image. Once the matching logo/banner image is found, the legitimate domain(s) associated with the matching logo/banner image is (are) determined. In addition, the presently-disclosed solution extracts all the URLs (universal resource links) directly from the textual data of the suspect content and further extracts the suspect domain(s) from those URLs. The suspect domain(s) is (are) then compared against the legitimate domain(s) to detect whether the suspect content is phishing content or not.
