  • Patent number: 9866426
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods facilitate analysis of events associated with network and computer systems. Event data, such as security threats, are comparison matched with event rules of event rule sets associated with each network or computer system to determine whether the items are potentially significant. Additionally, the system-event data may be scored where the score is used for prioritizing system-event data as to their significance. Associated with the comparison matching are various analytics that further analyze event data for measuring and analyzing the system-event data according to various algorithms.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8949169
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods facilitate analysis of events associated with a plurality of computer systems. Event occurrence items are compared with event rules of event rule sets associated with each computer system to determine whether the items are potentially significant as determined by matching with the event rule sets. A scorer associated with each computer system assigns a score to each event occurrence item to provide a relative indication of the potential significance of the event occurrence item. An interface is used to query the scored event occurrence items from each of the plurality of computer systems.

  • Patent number: 8649783
    Abstract: An application stored in a mobile device is provisioned using provisioning data received from remote data storage via a network. Provisioning data is obtained at no cost to a user of the mobile device. In some implementations, the provisioning data is received after the mobile device requests to establish a data channel with a data network. The data network is identified using a predetermined identifier that the network recognizes. If the network does not recognize the special identifier, no data channel is established. After a data channel is established, the mobile device requests provisioning data from the remote data storage. In some implementations, the mobile device receives a provisioning message through a predetermined port. The provisioning message either includes provisioning data or prompts the mobile device to obtain provisioning data.

  • Publication number: 20100036252
    Abstract: An ultrasound transceiver scans an organ and processes the echogenic signals to produce three-dimensional, two-dimensional, and one-dimensional information of the organ. The 3-D, 2-D, and 1-D information is utilized to determine the thickness, surface area, volume, and mass of the organ wall.
