  • Patent number: 10417530
    Abstract: Centroids are used for improving machine learning classification and information retrieval. A plurality of files are classified as malicious or not malicious based on a function dividing a coordinate space into at least a first portion and a second portion such that the first portion includes a first subset of the plurality of files classified as malicious. One or more first geometric regions are defined in the first portion that classify files from the first subset as not malicious. A file is determined to be malicious based on whether the file is located within the one or more first geometric regions.

  • Patent number: 8132253
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing memory security override protection for improved manufacturability of information handling systems. A security authentication system is added to a software driven security override signal for unlocking programmable memory circuitry, such as flash memory, according to security protection techniques associated with the Intel AMT (Active Management Technology) architecture. This security authentication system disclosed requires authentication of software security override requests before they are allowed. More particularly, the systems and methods disclosed add specific BIOS (Basic Input Output System) code to check the security override status and the software security override request signals on boots of the computer system to make sure these requests are not coming from rogue elements within the computer system. If the authentication is validated, then the programmable memory circuitry is unlocked on the next boot of the system to allow for reprogramming.

  • Patent number: 8105009
    Abstract: A method of positioning lumber in a given orientation in a handling apparatus having a base frame, a longitudinal transport assembly, and at least two gripper arm support platforms with a pair of gripper arms positioned on each of the support platforms. A work piece is gripped with the gripper arms without the work piece engaging the longitudinal transport assembly. The gripper arms are adjusted on at least one of the support platforms in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal transport assembly in order to selectively position the work piece. The work piece is then brought into engagement with the transport assembly and the gripper arms are released from the work piece.

  • Publication number: 20050241297
    Abstract: A control system and method for optimizing fuel control in an internal combustion engine utilizes a signal from an oxygen sensor disposed in an exhaust downstream of a catalytic converter. An air/fuel mixture introduced into the engine is compensated based on the signal exceeding predetermined enabling thresholds. The predetermined rich or lean condition enable threshold represents an oxygen content so less or greater than desired that the normal closed loop control including regular secondary fuel trim is not sufficient enough to bring the outlet oxygen sensor signal back to the desired window quickly. A reduced or increased amount of fuel is introduced into the engine based on the signal exceeding the predetermined rich or lean enable threshold respectively.
