  • WLAN SYSTEM SCANNING AND SELECTION
    Publication number: 20130235861
    Abstract: Techniques for performing WLAN system scanning and selection are described. A terminal performs multiple iterations of scan to detect for WLAN systems. A scan list containing at least one WLAN system to detect for is initially determined For each scan iteration, a scan type may be selected from among the supported scan types. The selected scan type may indicate passive scan or active scan, frequency channels to scan, etc. A scan may be performed based on the selected scan type. Signal strength measurements are obtained for access points received during the scan and used to identify detected access points. After all scan iterations are completed, candidates access points are identified based on the scan results, e.g., based on the signal strength measurements for the detected access points and a detection threshold.

  • METHOD FOR DETECTING AND REMOVING MALWARE
    Publication number: 20130239214
    Abstract: A method for detecting and removing a suspicious software code in a computer system, according to which the installation process of the suspicious software code is monitored by a client agent residing within the computer system where predetermined operations of the suspicious software code are identified and registered during the installation process. The predetermined operations are compared with a known software code in order to define whether the software code is similar to the known software code. It is then determined if the suspicious software code is malware and if it is, the client agent is instructed to uninstall the suspicious software code from the OS, or to remove its entry from the boot registry.

  • INTERIOR POINT METHOD FOR REFORMULATED OPTIMAL POWER FLOW MODEL
    Publication number: 20130238148
    Abstract: A method for approximating an optimal power flow of a smart electric power grid includes providing a cost function that models a smart electric power grid having buses connected by branches, deriving a set of linear equations that minimize the cost function subject to constraints from an expression of an extremum of the cost function with respect to all arguments, reducing a dimension of the linear equations by solving for a subset of the linear equations, re-organizing the reduced dimension linear equations into primal and dual parts, and decomposing the re-organized reduced dimensional linear equations into two systems of block matrix equations which can be solved by a series of back substitutions. A solution of the two systems of block matrix equations yields conditions for a lowest cost per kilowatthour delivered through the smart electric power grid.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION
    Publication number: 20130238812
    Abstract: An intelligent network address translation system and methods for intelligent network address translation. In one embodiment, a network packet is received from a host device, and a stored record associated with the host device is identified. The stored record includes information relating to connection parameters associated with the host device. Using the stored record, a processor determines whether the network packet should be assigned a dedicated address. If so, then the network packet is transmitted using communication parameters including a dedicated IP address. If the packet should not be assigned a dedicated address, then the packet is transmitted using connection parameters including a default public IP address and a port number.
