  • Publication number: 20130087278
    Abstract: The using of carbon nanotubes to produce a thin film or buckypaper, hereafter referred to as carbon nanotube membrane, which is soaked with epoxy resin or a carbon nanotube-epoxy resin composite adhesive, and then placed between the joining edges of components, where after an electric current is passed through to heat up the carbon nanotube membrane. This leads to the curing temperature of the epoxy resin or carbon nanotube-epoxy resin composite adhesive, thereby hardening the epoxy resin or carbon nanotube-epoxy resin composite adhesive to achieve bonding. This invention utilizes simple equipment, and the method of an electric current passing through for heating, which can rapidly and uniformly heat the epoxy resin or carbon nanotube-epoxy resin composite adhesive, resulting in hardening and bonding. This method is not affected by the environment, and greatly reduces the time and resources required to harden the epoxy resin, and achieves a stronger effect additionally.

  • Patent number: 8316440
    Abstract: Detection for pharming attacks and specifically for changes in name-to-IP resolutions on a computer system using rules is described. The DNS settings and the Hosts file on a computer system are monitored and their modification information is saved as a part of the historical data over time. When an IP address is determined for a host name, various rules are applied to the IP address in connection with the saved historical data, such that each rule produces a score based on various criteria. Different rules may have different weights assigned to their scores. The scores of all the rules are summed up to produce a final score. If the final score is above a predefined value, then there is a suspicious change in the IP address, and an alert is sent. Otherwise, the host name and the IP address are saved as a part of the historical data.
