Abstract: A removable inner frame assembly for use with a filter element and a main frame includes an inner frame, a bottom sealant layer, and a top sealant layer. The filter element has a lower edge extending from an outer perimeter of the filter element. The inner frame has a plurality of U-shaped sides. The first end of each side is connected to a second end of another side. The bottom sealant layer is affixed to a bottom surface of the bottom of each side of the inner frame. The bottom sealant layer is configured to allow the removable inner frame assembly to be releasably coupled to the main frame. The top sealant layer is located within the u-shaped channel formed by each side of the inner frame and is configured to receive the lower edge of the filter element.

Abstract: An ice processing system may include a plurality of electrodes configured to create a time-varying electromagnetic field in a cavity, and a controller configured to oscillate a density of the electromagnetic field at a frequency which depends on the temperature of an object in the cavity. The frequency is selected based on a temperature of the object to establish and maintain a resonance condition of dipoles in ice crystals present in the object, such that the electromagnetic field tends to selectively heat ice substantially without heating liquid-phase water.

Abstract: A report generated from analysis of a software sample is obtained and parsed. A root node of a causality tree is determined based on source-target relationships and a primary malware instance indicated in the report. Actions, behaviors, and additional malware instances are identified based on the report. Additional relationships among the data which are not explicitly represented are extracted from further parsing and processing of the report by tracing the relationships in the report data starting from the data of the entity represented by the root node, with child nodes added for processes and files discovered from the tracing. For each entity for which a node is added to the causality tree, counts of the related behaviors and actions are determined and associated with the node along with the corresponding details. A GUI depiction of the resulting causality tree is generated and displayed for visualizing and navigating the causality tree.

Abstract: A method for generating a digital signal pattern at M outputs involves retrieving an instruction from memory comprising a first set of bits identifying a first group of N outputs that includes fewer than all of the M outputs, and a second set of N bits each corresponding to a respective output included in the identified first group of N outputs. For each of the M outputs that is included in the identified first group of N outputs, the signal at the output is toggled if the one of the N bits corresponding to that output is in a first state and is kept in the same state if the one of the N bits corresponding to that output is in a second state. For each of the M outputs that is not included in the identified first group of N outputs, the signal at that output is kept in the same state.

Abstract: The invention is herbal infused candles and the method for producing the same. The candles are made from paraffin or other wax and a selection of natural herbs and plant materials. The candles are produced by coating a glass jar with a spray adhesive and then adding a mixture of herbs or other plant materials to the jar in a sufficient quantity to coat the interior of the glass jar. The jars are then chilled. Wax is melted and then poured into the chilled jars.

Abstract: The system and method of the present invention includes an electrical to mechanical converter (EMC), such as a motor, and a hydraulic pump-and-cylinder arrangement that is connected to the electrical to mechanical converter for input, and to a sucker rod pump for output, in at least one embodiment. The entire assembly can be deployed below the level of the well fluid in a well. The EMC-driven hydraulic pump and cylinder can provide reciprocating linear motion to operate the sucker rod pump. In contrast, this linear motion is normally provided by sucker rods connected to a plunger inside a pump barrel and a pumping unit on the surface. The invention provides the required linear motion for the sucker rod pump to operate, but without the need for sucker and a surface pumping unit.
