Abstract: A computer-implemented method for sharing the results of malware scans within networks may include (1) identifying a set of files stored on a set of client devices within a network, (2) obtaining a set of copies of the files stored on the client devices within the network, (3) performing a malware scan on the copies of the files, (4) generating a result of the malware scan performed on the copies of the files, and then (5) sharing the result of the malware scan with at least a subset of the client devices within the network to enable the subset of client devices to use the result of the malware scan instead of each performing an additional malware scan that is at least partially redundant to the malware scan performed on the copies of the files. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Opportunistically locked files are accessed in real-time from a kernel mode file system filter driver without breaking opportunistic locks. A file system is monitored, and the granting of an opportunistic lock to a specific file object referring to a specific underlying file is detected. The granting of the detected opportunistic lock results in both the file object and the underlying file being opportunistically locked. A reference to the opportunistically locked file object is cached. The file system filter driver filters a request to access the opportunistically locked file via a second file object which is not opportunistically locked. The kernel mode file system filter driver uses the cached reference to access the opportunistically locked underlying file. This enables access of the opportunistically locked file from the kernel mode file system filter driver without breaking the opportunistic lock.

Abstract: Illuminated road markers are described that have cast bodies and long operating life. The road markers generally include an LED, a solar cell, a rechargeable battery, and control circuitry in a cast body.

Abstract: Self-contained solar-powered long-life intelligent illuminated road markers are provided comprising a one-piece housing formed of optionally colored plastic capable of transmitting light. Light is reflected by reflective coating or generated internally by LED which is powered by a long life battery, the charging of which is controlled by electrical circuitry which comprises a peripheral interface controller. The electrical circuitry provides intelligent control for a variety of modes corresponding to diverse driving conditions, and can enter a low-power sleep mode to conserve battery life.

Abstract: Air classification of finely ground crude tamarind gum provides a purified tamarind seed polysaccharide. The crude gum may also be admixed with finely divided siliceous matter or may be defatted prior to air classification to increase the degree of purification.
