Abstract: Providing an isolation system that allows analysts to analyze suspicious information in way that aids in preventing harmful information from spreading to other applications and systems on a network. A plurality of virtual containers may be used by analysts to analyze the suspicious information. The analyst may utilize a non-native application to analyze the suspicious information within the virtual container. The non-native application may be used to analyze the suspicious information in an analysis format instead of an original format for which the suspicious information, and any harmful information therein, were intended to be accessed. Additionally, the virtual containers may be accessed through the use of an API that allows an analyst to analyze the suspicious information in the virtual container without transferring information from the virtual container back to the analyst user computer system.

Abstract: A braking device for an elevator with a rail-guided car, which encompasses a guide rail and holds a braking element in position on one side of the guide rail and holds another braking element in position on the opposite side of the guide rail, wherein at least one of the braking elements is held in its standby position by a switchable retaining magnet against the force of an automatic actuator. The braking element is automatically driven in between the basic body and the guide rail, if the car moves at the point in time at which the braking element abuts against the guide rail. The retaining magnet is equipped with an air gap reducing agent, which reduces or eliminates an air gap between the retaining magnet and the braking element such that the retaining magnet keeps the braking element magnetically trapped again, as soon as it is switched accordingly.

Abstract: An example intermediary system allows a control system to securely identify and communicate with a device. The device uses master secret and time data shared with the control system to generate and advertise a time-dependent device identifier and potentially an encrypted device message. The intermediary system augments the received device data with a message (e.g., an estimate of the device's location) encrypted using the time-dependent device identifier as an encryption key. Furthermore, it hashes the time-dependent device identifier for additional security. The augmented data is provided for retrieval and processing by the control system. The owner uses the shared master secret, time data and hash function to generate a hashed time-dependent device identifier used to retrieve matching augmented data from the server. The retrieved message data is decrypted using the reverse of the encryption operations.
