  • Publication number: 20160102834
    Abstract: A vehicle lamp includes a light source mounted on a vehicle body and a light guide body for guiding light generated by the light source. On the light guide body, vertically to a light travelling direction, a plurality of notch-shaped portions are formed in line. The notch-shaped portions become narrow in pitch as the distance from the light source increases and are formed deeper as the distance from the light source increases. Preferably, the notch-shaped portions exhibit arc cross-sections having the same curvature radius, and the depths of the notch-shaped portions are specified by the central angles of the arc cross-sections.

  • Patent number: 9130982
    Abstract: A system and a method for detecting anomalous attacks in Internet network flow operate by counting a number of Internet traffic messages that are detected as anomalous attacks to provide a count; computing a running average of the number of messages that are detected as anomalous attacks; and comparing the count to the running average to provide an anomalous attack alarm if the count is greater than a multiple of the running average. The attacks can include at least one of spoofing attacks or denial of service attacks. A computer readable storage medium stores instructions of a computer program, which when executed by a computer system, results in performance of steps of the method.
