Abstract: A method and system for detecting intrusion on a CAN bus or vehicle network and neutralizing unauthorized intrusions. The system monitors the bit timing characteristics of CAN bus messages, message establishes trusted bit timing characteristics, and identifies unauthorized CAN bus messages. The device neutralizes unauthorized messages on the CAN bus by injecting data on the CAN bus at the appropriate time, preventing the unauthorized messages from being received, and presents alerts upon detection of the one or more of intrusions. It can be used as a standalone or hard-wired system, and may be accessible to the ODB-II port, relay or fuse port on a vehicle and may put other electronic control units on the vehicle into a safe operating mode upon receipt of the intrusion, neutralize all CAN message identifiers or set the intrusion detection flag to TRUE for all CAN message identifiers, sent by the same electronic control unit node.

Abstract: The present invention is a die positioning system for use in positioning mobile or fixed dies. The system includes a pair of key bars, a pair of key disc inserts, a set of key discs, and a set of disc backers. The key bars and key discs serve to offset manufacturing dies or die holders. Using key bars and/or key discs from different pairs of key bars and/or sets of key discs also allows for precise angulation of the dies or die holders. The key discs are held in place between the die and die holder, or between the die holder and key base, by the key disc inserts and angled (if feasible) by the disc backers. The key bars, located between the key disc inserts and the die or die holder allow additional offset of the die or die holder. The solid, stacked configuration of the key bars and key discs prevents the die or die holder from gradually or suddenly losing its positioning.
