Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a dipole antenna capable of supporting multi-band communications, includes a first portion of the antenna in a folded structure, a second portion of the antenna that includes a first coupling pad and a second coupling pad physically separated by a distance, and a current path along the first portion of the antenna and the second portion of the antenna, wherein a first portion of the current path that includes the first coupling pad and the second coupling pad is configured to introduce a slow wave effect if electric current flows through the first portion of the current path.

Abstract: A method and system for preventing spreading of malware, including: automatically launching an anti-malware control mechanism after a data security device connects to a computing device and receives power from the computing device, determining availability of a data path in the data security device before allowing data to pass through the data path, and scanning the data that passes through the data path.

Abstract: A method and system for preventing virus infections via the use of a removable storage device are described. Specifically, one embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method, which includes the steps of gathering a first set of information associated with the removable storage device, processing the first set of information to generate a second set of information also associated with the removable storage device, sending the second set of information to the computer to cause the computer to identify the removable storage device as a read-only device, accessing an antivirus program stored in the removable storage device and causing the antivirus program to be launched on the computer, and sending a third set of information to the computer after the antivirus program is launched on the computer to cause the computer to identify the removable storage device as a writable device.
