  • Patent number: 9992211
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for improving the classification accuracy of trustworthiness classifiers may include (1) identifying a set of training data that is available for training trustworthiness classifiers used to classify computing resources as clean or malicious, (2) selecting, based at least in part on a characteristic of a specific organization, a subset of training data from the set of training data that is available for training trustworthiness classifiers, (3) training a trustworthiness classifier for the specific organization using the subset of training data selected based at least in part on the characteristic of the specific organization, and then (4) applying the trustworthiness classifier to at least one computing resource encountered by the specific organization to classify the computing resource as clean or malicious. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20180062329
    Abstract: There is described a method of establishing an electrical connection through a flexible planar material. The method involves attaching an intermediate coupling element to the flexible planar material so as to align an aperture defined by the intermediate coupling element with a hole through the flexible planar material, and coupling an electrical connector to the intermediate coupling element so as to permit electrical connection through the flexible planar material. In this way, the intermediate coupling element can be attached to the garment during the garment manufacture process, and subsequently the electrical connector can be coupled to the intermediate coupling element separately from the main garment manufacture.

  • Publication number: 20180040975
    Abstract: There is described a connector assembly having a first connector part and a second connector part. At least one of the first connector part and the second connector part comprises at least one magnet for providing an attractive force between the first connector part and the second connector part to align the first connector part and the second connector part in a connected state. The first connector part comprises a guide track and the second connector part comprises a follower, the guide track being shaped to guide movement of the follower, under the influence of said attractive force, to a retaining position in which the follower engages an abutment surface on the first connector part to provide a retaining mechanism for retaining the first connector part and the second connector part in the connected state.

  • Patent number: 9676224
    Abstract: A modular magnet writing instrument and hobby tool comprises a plurality of permanent magnet segments and a writing cartridge. Each magnet segment is magnetized axially. An aperture extends longitudinally through the entirety of each magnet segment. The writing cartridge has an elongate body, which is sized for coaxial insertion within a magnet segment, or plurality of magnet segments, such that the magnet segments are in sliding engagement with the elongate body. In operation, different combinations of magnet segments can be axially positioned on the elongate body, in a variety of like-pole and unlike-pole interactions, to produce a plurality of writing and hobby tool configurations.

  • Publication number: 20170061123
    Abstract: Suspicious file prospecting activity is detected based on patterns of file system access. A user's file system access is monitored over a specific time period. A sequence of the file accesses (e.g., represented as path names) made by the user during the time period is recorded. Distances between the recorded file accesses are determined, for example as edit distances. A distance sequence is recorded, comprising a record of the determined distances. The distance sequence is reduced to one or more baseline statistics describing the pattern of the user's access of the file system during the given period of time. At least one subsequent anomaly in the user's access of the file system is detected, by comparing at least one subsequently calculated statistic representing at least one subsequent pattern of the user's file system access to the at least one baseline statistic.
