  • Patent number: 11377880
    Abstract: A latch assembly for a vehicular latching system configured to provide an anti-chucking locking function in cooperation with a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism has a ratchet that is moveable by a striker between a striker release position, a striker capture position, and a striker over-travel position. A pawl is operable in a ratchet holding position to hold the ratchet when the ratchet is in the striker capture position and operable in a ratchet releasing position to release the ratchet to allow the ratchet to return to its striker release position. A latch release mechanism operates to move the pawl between its ratchet holding and ratchet releasing positions. The anti-chuck locking function is provided by the pawl having a lock tooth and the ratchet having a lock notch for locking engagement therebetween when the pawl holds the ratchet in its striker capture position for muting vibrations of the latch assembly.

  • Patent number: 11368361
    Abstract: A system and method for providing stringent tamper resistant protection against changes to key system security features. The tamper protection is configured such that any changes to the policy can only occur from a configuration manager console, thereby preventing local device admin users or other malicious actors from altering the setting. Thus, tamper protection locks the selected service and prevents security settings from being changed through third-party apps and methods. When a system administrator enables the feature for an enterprise's workstations, only administrators will be able to change the service settings across a company's computers. The tamper protection policy is digitally signed in the backend before being deployed to endpoints, and the endpoint verifies the validity and intent of the policy, establishing that it is a signed package that only security operations personnel with the necessary administrator rights can control.

  • Patent number: 10922409
    Abstract: Technologies for detecting malware based on reinforcement learning model to detect whether a file is malicious or benign and to determine the best time to halt the file's execution in so detecting. The reinforcement learning model combined with an event classifier and a file classifier learns whether to halt execution after enough state information has been observed or to continue execution if more events are needed to make a highly confident determination. The algorithm disclosed allows the system to decide when to stop on a per file basis.

  • Publication number: 20190362074
    Abstract: Technologies for training systems for detecting malware based on reinforcement learning model. Such trained systems detect whether a file is malicious or benign and to determine the best time to halt the file's execution in so detecting. The reinforcement learning model combined with an event classifier and a file classifier learns whether to halt execution after enough state information has been observed or to continue execution if more events are needed to make a highly confident determination.

  • Patent number: 10082345
    Abstract: An extruded fin pack assembly is provided which is positioned within an appliance cabinet. In the embodiments, the fin pack includes a plurality of fins which are mounted in a substantially vertical plane and create flowpaths for air flow currents therethrough. A cover is provided to attach to the fins and hide the fins from view when the cabinet of the refrigerator or freezer is open. The cover also increases efficiency of the flowpaths between the fins thereby increasing convection heat transfer and increasing removal of heat from within the cabinet.

  • Publication number: 20100031353
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to malware detection using code analysis and behavior monitoring. In aspects, an anti-malware engine performs static analysis on program code and monitors behavior of the program code that is exhibited when the program code executes in a virtual and/or non-virtual environment. The anti-malware engine combines the results of both types of malware detection to determine whether the program code includes malware. The anti-malware engine may use feedback from one or more of the malware detection mechanism to direct additional malware detection (e.g., static and/or behavior detection) for the program code.

  • Patent number: 6581988
    Abstract: A latch (10) having a housing (12, 14, 16, 18) to which a ratchet (38) is pivotably mounted by a rivet (40) for rotation about a first axis between a latched and unlatched configuration. A slot (44) extents through the latch and has a first arcuate portion (100) and a first radial portion (102). A pawl assembly (48, 58, 60, 70) has a roller (48) extending through the slot (44). The pawl assembly is mounted to the housing for movement of the roller relative to the ratchet (38) between a first arcuate portion and a first radial portion of the slot. The rivet (40) is deformable to allow the ratchet (38) to rotate about the roller axis upon the ratchet (38) being exposed to an unlatching force above a predetermined level. A flange (108) extends from the housing across the ratchet (38) to limit the pivotal movement of the ratchet (38) about the roller axis.
