Abstract: In some instances, a method for generating network traffic rules for a cloud environment is provided. The method comprises: converting a plurality of internet protocol (IP) addresses from a plurality of network traffic rules into a plurality of integer pair representations of the IP addresses; determining a plurality of similarity values based on the plurality of integer pair representations of the IP addresses and a similarity algorithm; determining stability of one or more of the plurality of network traffic rules based on the plurality of similarity values and one or more thresholds; and applying the one or more of the plurality of network traffic rules that are determined to be stable.

Abstract: In some instances, a method for generating security rules for a cloud environment is provided. The method comprises: generating one or more dictionary data structures based on a plurality of data logs, wherein each of the one or more dictionary data structures comprise a key and a value; determining one or more recent network traffic rules based on the one or more generated dictionary data structures; determining a new recommended network traffic rule based on one or more security groups associated with the plurality of data logs and consolidating the one or more recent network traffic rules with historical proposed traffic rules; and applying the new recommended network traffic rule to network data transferred between a server machine and one or more client machines.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a service robot for providing services at the local vicinity of people. The service robot includes an autonomously driving base platform and a service unit mountable or mounted on the autonomously driving base platform. The autonomously driving base platform includes a drive for driving the autonomously driving base platform and a trolley having a plurality of wheels for moving the autonomously driving base platform. At least one of the plurality of wheels is a drive wheel drivable by the drive. The service robot includes a control module to control the autonomously driving base platform. The control module is connected or is connectable to the drive to transmit control commands to the drive. The drive is controllable by the control commands transmitted from the control module. The service robot includes at least one power source to supply power to the drive and the control module.

Abstract: In some instances, a method for determining traffic direction for a plurality of data logs is provided. The method comprises: obtaining the plurality of data logs associated with a cloud network; determining a frequency of the source IP addresses and the destination IP addresses and/or ports associated with the source IP addresses and the destination IP addresses within the plurality of data logs; and determining the traffic direction associated with the plurality of data logs based on the frequency of the source IP addresses and the destination IP addresses and/or the ports. The traffic direction indicates one or more server machines that expose services to client machines associated with the cloud network.

Abstract: In some instances, a method for generating network traffic rules for a cloud environment is provided. The method comprises: determining one or more recent network traffic rules based on current network traffic rules that are being applied to one or more first server machines; determining a new recommended network traffic rule based on analyzing the one or more recent network traffic rules and historical proposed traffic rules; and applying the new recommended network traffic rule to network data transferred between a second server machine and one or more client machines.

Abstract: An apparatus for disinfecting and/or deodorizing an article comprises a cabinet defining a compartment configured to receive the article. A regenerative dryer is positioned with respect to the compartment and is configured to dehydrate air flowing into an ozone generator. The ozone generator is in communication with the dryer and is positioned with respect to the compartment. The ozone generator is configured to selectively generate ozone. The generated ozone is introduced into the compartment. An ozone conversion device is positioned with respect to the compartment and is configured to selectively convert ozone back to oxygen. A controller is configured to selectively activate the dryer, ozone generator and ozone conversion device.
