  • Patent number: 11959405
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a valve seat (20) for a poppet valve of an internal combustion engine, wherein the poppet valve comprises a head and a stem behind the head, the valve seat comprising: an aperture (21) configured to form a seal with the head of the poppet valve when the poppet valve is in a closed position; and a peripheral body (22) defining, at least in part, one or more ports (23) shaped like e.g. grooves and sized to enable injection of liquid or gas from a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine into a gas stream behind the head of the poppet valve.

  • Publication number: 20220239695
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for causing deception technology to be installed on a first computing device, generating a unique identifier for a user associated with the first computing device and the first computing device, and generating a unique Uniform Resource Locator (URL) associated with the unique identifier. The systems and methods further presented for transmitting the unique URL to the first computing device, detecting that the unique URL has been accessed by a second computing device, capturing data identifying the time and date the unique URL is accessed and information associated with the second computing device accessing the URL, and generating a notification to alert the user of the first computing device of unauthorized access.

  • Patent number: 10108519
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for detecting, by a universal serial bus (USB) drive operatively coupled with a computing device, power from the computing device, and determining, by the USB drive, that drivers associated with the USB drive have been installed on the computing device. The systems and methods may determine that drivers associated with the USB drive have been installed by sending, to the computing device, a digital signal indicating a predetermined keystroke until the USB drive receives a response from the computing device, and receiving, from the computing device, a feedback response to the digital signal indicating the predetermined keystroke has been received. The systems and methods further executing, by the USB drive, a macro to download a payload to the computing device from a server computer, causing by the USB drive, the payload to execute on the computing device, and causing, by the USB drive, the downloaded payload to be deleted from the computing device.

  • Patent number: 9667639
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for receiving a plurality of request messages to analyze electronic communications. For each request message of the plurality of request messages, the systems and methods further provide for analyzing header information associated with the electronic communication, generating analysis data including the header information associated with the electronic communication, sending the analysis data to a plurality of third party security information systems for analysis, receiving at least one report from each of the plurality of third party security information systems, analyzing the analysis data and the at least one report from each of the plurality of third party security information systems to generate a risk rating of the electronic communication, determining that the risk rating meets a predetermined risk rating threshold, and causing a notification to be provided indicating that the electronic communication has been analyzed.
