Abstract: Telemetry associated with a system call denoting that a program has been invoked via a process is received. A determination is made that the invoked process is a shell. Subsequent to determining that the invoked program is a shell, additional information comprising at least one of a determination that the program has attempted to obtain terminal information, and keystroke timing information is received. Based at least in part on the received additional information, a determination is made that the program is an interactive shell. In response to determining that the program is an interactive shell, an action is taken.

Abstract: A method for the production of empty pullulan capsules eliminate the need to dry pullulan solid product, thereby reducing the equipment cost and energy consumption. The pullulan raw material production can be linked directly with the capsule production to provide a unique approach for empty capsule formation. The purified pullulan fermentation fluid can be directly used in capsule preparation, thus removing the need for a melting process. On the one hand, the method may decrease material consumption, save the cost of equipment and labor, reduce production time and increase productivity. On the other hand, the method may reduce the fluctuating of raw material quality in the re-melting process and guarantee a more stable capsule production and quality.

Abstract: Described herein are subcutaneous medication delivery applicators and adhesive patches with one or more openings in the patches that designate one or more desired injection sites for subcutaneous injection of a medication. The medication delivery applicator and the adhesive patch may both include circuitry and wireless short-range communications interfaces that allow for the two devices to communicate with one another in order to determine if they are pre-associated in some manner, such as would be the case if both devices were packaged in the same injection kit. The medication delivery applicator may have some form of safety interlock that is only disengaged by the circuitry upon verifying that the two devices are pre-associated in some manner. Various other implementations are described as well.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and devices for measuring blood pressure. Various embodiments may include receiving, from one or more arterial measurement sensors, a pulse waveform representing arterial pressure as a function of time for each pulse of a series of blood pressure pulses.
