Abstract: Embodiments relate to improving accuracy of security vulnerability detection by determining a context of a data flow from a target, generating an exploit, and injecting the exploit based upon the context to create a vulnerable Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The context may comprise a HTML context, a URL context, a JavaScript context, or a JSON context. Communication of the vulnerable URL to a testing platform results in validation of the presence of a security vulnerability. Embodiments may find particular value in detecting vulnerability to a client-side XSS attack, by generating a vulnerable URL containing an exploit that is injected based upon a collected taint flow. Where the target is a website, embodiments improve accuracy of client-side XSS validation exploits by identifying which characters of a URL enter a specific context (e.g., HTML or JavaScript), and replacing these characters with a payload designed to trigger code execution for validation.

Abstract: High-speed processing of packets to, and from, a virtualization environment can be provided while utilizing hardware-based segmentation offload and other such functionality. A hardware vendor such as a network interface card (NIC) manufacturer can enable the hardware to support open and proprietary stateless tunneling in conjunction with a protocol such as single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) in order to implement a virtualized overlay network. The hardware can utilize various rules, for example, that can be used by the NIC to perform certain actions, such as to encapsulate egress packets and decapsulate packets.

The compositions comprise one or more inert water-based polyurethane resins and one or more water-based phosphate esters. Addition of the inert polyurethane resins and phosphate esters improves adhesion of the energy curable compositions to a variety of substrates.

Abstract: The present invention includes a server system that uses an airflow source that can be external to the computer that the airflow source cools. The computer may be sealed such that the conduits are the primary source of fluid ingress and egress. The airflow source can be positioned in a case of the computer, support members affixing the computer to a rack stand, the rack stand, or beyond conduit that conducts fluid to the rack stand.

Abstract: Disclosed is a server rack system within an enclosed building and a process for directing air through a server facility. Air is channeled within a server rack assembly and then through a closed loop back again into the server rack assembly. Impediments may control the degree of airflow availability.

Abstract: Disclosed is system, method, and rack stand portion for the advantageous cooling of computer equipment. The rack stand includes a hollow body that may be formed of cartridges. Gas from an airflow source is guided into the rack stand body and then into a sealed case of the computer equipment. Air flow is then guided out of the computer equipment for recirculation, exhaust, or other purpose.

Abstract: A peripheral nerve stimulator can be used to stimulate a peripheral nerve to treat essential tremor, Parkinsonian tremor, and other forms of tremor. The stimulator can have electrodes that are placed circumferentially around the patient's wrist or arm. Specific nerves in the wrist or arm can be targeted by appropriate spacing of the electrodes. Positioning the electrodes on generally opposing sides of the target nerve can result in improved stimulation of the nerve. The stimulation pattern may alternate between the nerves. Improved stimulation algorithms can incorporate tremor feedback, external data, predictive adaptation, and long-term monitoring data.

Abstract: Disclosed is system, method, and rack stand portion for the advantageous cooling of computer equipment. When multiple instances of computer equipment are managed from a central authority, cooling, heating, and/or cessation of either can be controlled in a way that enhances efficiency. Impediments that control access channels and interior access to computer equipment is toggled by the present invention.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying an earth fault in a resonant grounded medium voltage network that employs a REFCL compensation system. The method derives a zero-sequence real power from a phase voltage to ground on each phase and a current on each phase and aligns the zero-sequence real power in time with a magnitude of a zero-sequence voltage provided by the REFCL compensation system. The method determines when the zero-sequence real power and the zero-sequence voltage exceed predetermined thresholds. The method delays the magnitude of the zero-sequence voltage for a predetermined period of time when the zero-sequence voltage exceeds the threshold and determines that the fault is occurring when both the time aligned zero-sequence real power exceeds the threshold and the magnitude of the zero-sequence voltage exceeds the threshold for the predetermined period of time at the same time.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for determining a tire characteristic of an electric vehicle's tires and notifying a user of the tire characteristic. This may be accomplished by an electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) receiving an image of an electric vehicle in response to detecting the electric vehicle. The EVCS can use the received image to determine a tire characteristic (e.g., tire tread depth) of one or more tires of the electric vehicle. The EVCS can then notify the user of the electric vehicle. For example, the EVCS may display a notification on a display of the EVCS. The EVCS may also recommend one or more locations where a user can take the electric vehicle to have the one or more tires serviced.

The system can dynamically update the delivery schedule of future requests the system transmits to the remote computing device based on responses to current request.

Abstract: A device for use in handling paper products. A finger moisturizer container can be worn on the wrist of a user via an adjustable wristband. Alternatively, the container can be located on a clip that can be attached to an article of clothing, cover or pages of a book. The device can be used to assist in the turning of pages of a book or magazine, sorting or separating stacks of money or other paper or like products.

Abstract: A method for producing carbon or graphite foam parts with high purity level for high-temperature insulation under vacuum or protective gas, as insulating material or as filter material, includes the following steps: introducing dry, foamable starch (1) into an open-top container (2) having a round or angular cross section, until the base (3) of the container (2) is covered amply and uniformly with starch (1); introducing the container (2) partly filled with starch (1) into an oven (4), and heating the container (2) to a foaming temperature of >180° C. over a prolonged period of several hours to foam the starch (1), until the container (2) has filled completely with carbon foam (6); withdrawing the container (2) from the oven (4) and extracting the carbon foam (6) after sufficient cooling, and optionally portioning the carbon foam (6) into carbon foam parts (6.1).

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for adaptably authenticating a user are disclosed. A device captures a user input, and sends data corresponding thereto to a system. The system determines natural language understanding (NLU) results representing the user input. A user authentication component of the system receives the NLU results and determines a skill configured to perform an action responsive to the user input. The user authentication component adaptably performs user authentication based on a user authentication condition associated with the skill. If the user can be authenticated to the satisfaction of the condition, the NLU results data are sent to the skill, along with an indicator representing the user was authenticated by the system.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods to track tainting information via non-intrusive bytecode instrumentation are described herein. The described techniques include, at one aspect, defining a taint-aware class to shadow an original data class. The taint-aware class includes a payload field to store objects of the original data class, a metadata field to store tainting information corresponding to the objects of the original data class, and a method proxying a corresponding method of the original data class. In another aspect, the instances of the original data class are replaced with corresponding instances of the taint-aware class in an application bytecode. Further, in a yet another aspect, when executing the application in a runtime environment, the method propagates the content of the metadata filed and calls the corresponding method of the original data class to manage the content of the payload field.
