Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to identifying phishing websites by rendering and analyzing document object model (DOM) objects associated with a website for features that indicate phishing behavior. Embodiments analyze the full scope and functionality associated with a website by executing functions embedded in a DOM object before analyzing the website for phishing activity. Accordingly, embodiments render and analyze a fully executed DOM object for phishing behavior. Embodiments may then perform steps to mediate a website that is classified as performing phishing. Thus, embodiments are configured to (1) collect website information from a variety of websites and web servers connected to the internet, (2) analyze the collected data to determine whether the website information is performing phishing, and (3) mediate websites and other actors that are determined to be performing phishing based on the results of the phishing analysis.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for dynamically modifying bandwidth allocation corresponding to a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology. A current allocation of channel bandwidth corresponding to the first radio access technology and the second radio access technology is determined. One or more radio frequency conditions associated with a base station may be monitored, which could include loading at a particular cell site or sector and/or user devices that have a guaranteed bit rate. Based on monitoring of the radio frequency conditions, the current allocation of the channel bandwidth corresponding to the first radio access technology and the second radio access technology is dynamically modified to a different allocation of channel bandwidth corresponding to the first radio access technology and the second radio access technology.

Abstract: A housing assembly is adapted for housing fully pre-wired printed circuit boards populated with diverse electrical components. The housing assembly includes multiple nipples and an optimized geometry for mounting to or mounting within commonly available conduit-related fixtures in a variety of installation configurations. These installation configurations allow for simpler wire routing where voltage separation is required, for greater accessibility to gang junction box cover plates on gang junction boxes to which the housing assembly is mounted, and for more installation options for wide range of common gang junction boxes as compared to existing housings.
Abstract: Sensors coupled to a vehicle are calibrated using a dynamic scene with sensor targets around a motorized turntable that rotates the vehicle to different orientations. The sensors capture data at each orientation along the rotation. The vehicle's computer identifies representations of the sensor targets within the data captured by the sensors, and calibrates the sensor based on these representations. The motorized turntable may confirm that rotation has stopped to the vehicle to trigger sensor capture, and the vehicle may communicate completion of sensor capture at an orientation to the motorized turntable to trigger further rotation.

Abstract: A set of optical elements for optical extraction composed of packed expanding optical cross sections to efficiently extract from a large gain region. The elements are rectangular shaped concave small expansion lenses matched to rectangular convex collimating lenses. Absorbing sheets divide an overall large volume up into smaller volumes to minimize losses due to amplified spontaneous emission. This arrangement has various applications, particularly in inertial confinement technology, where it may be used to extract energy from KrF laser media energized by electron beams. For certain applications, this regime of the gain medium may have zones at the absorbing sheets where this is no gain.
Abstract: A pellet hopper for use in a pellet grill includes a first bottom panel, a second bottom panel, and a third bottom panel. Each bottom panel has an inner edge that partially defines a pellet evacuation opening. The first, second, and third bottom panels form respective first, second, and third nonzero angles relative to a horizontal plane. In this way, each bottom panel tilts downward toward the pellet evacuation opening.
