Abstract: A topical high resolution image of edible ink and having a resolution of at least 100 dots per inch is applied to a top major surface of a length of food in the form of a thin fruit based paste or confection slurry by a digital imaging printer. The length of food is at a temperature of at least about 75° C. at the time of application. During application, the food is supported upon a moveable platform mounted by parallelogram links and which is moved parallel to the digital imaging printer according to a condition of the top major surface upon which the topical high resolution image is applied and detected by detecting provisions.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques for filtering network traffic in an anycasting environment includes receiving network traffic addressed to a plurality of anycasted servers at an edge router, the plurality of anycasted servers comprising one or more anycasted servers. The network traffic is received from the edge server at least one data scrubbing appliance. The at least one data scrubbing appliance filters out undesirable traffic from the network traffic. The at least one data scrubbing appliance “on-ramps” the filtered network traffic to the plurality of anycasted servers. The filtered network traffic is transmitted to the plurality of anycasted servers in a load balanced manner.

Abstract: Novel solutions for detecting and/or treating malware on a subscriber's premise network. Such solutions can include, but are not limited to, tools and techniques that can detect, and/or enable the detection of, malware infections on individual subscriber devices within the subscriber's network. In a particular embodiment, for example, a premise gateway, or other device on the subscriber's premise network, is configured to analyze packets traveling through the premise gateway and, based on that analysis, identify one or more subscriber devices that are infected with malware.

Abstract: A method for remote triggered black hole filtering can include advertising a first modified next hop address for a destination address of network traffic, and advertising a second modified next hop address for a source address of network traffic. The first next hop address of the destination address might be overwritten with the first modified next hop address. Filtered traffic then can be forwarded to the first modified next hop address, wherein filtered traffic comprises only network traffic addressed to the destination address or from the source address. In some cases, the filtered traffic is transported and received via a sinkhole tunnel. A second next hop address of the source address can be overwritten to a second modified next hop address. The attack traffic, which can be filtered traffic that is both addressed to the destination address and from the source address, might be forwarded to a discard interface.
