Abstract: A scalable method and apparatus that detects frequent and dispersed invariants is disclosed. More particularly, the application discloses a system that can simultaneously track frequency rates and dispersion criteria of unknown invariants. In other words, the application discloses an invariant detection system implemented in hardware (and/or software) that allows detection of invariants (e.g., byte sequences) that are highly prevalent (e.g., repeating with a high frequency) and dispersed (e.g., originating from many sources and destined to many destinations).

Abstract: Apparatus and systems to control pest populations are described herein. In one example, the apparatus may include an enclosure comprising two sides and a top having an opening is configured to receive a transparent panel. In another example, a pest trap system includes an enclosure which defines a pest traversal path, an adhesive on a portion of that path, and an aerial travel blocker to prevent a pest from traveling above the adhesive.
