  • Patent number: 9159028
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for computing a task result. A processing data set of records is created, wherein each of the records contains data specific to a sub-task from a set of actual sub-tasks and contains a reference to data shared by the set of actual sub-tasks, and wherein a number of the records is equivalent to a number of the actual sub-tasks in the set of actual sub-tasks. With each mapper in a set of mappers, one of the records of the processing data set is received and an assigned sub-task is executed using the received one of the records to generate output. With a single reducer, the output from each mapper in the set of mappers is reduced to determine a task result.

  • Publication number: 20150264011
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for conducting work flows by an SIEM device to carry out a complex task automatically. According to one embodiment, an SIEM device may create a work flow that includes multiple security tasks that are performed by one or more security devices. When a security event is captured or the work flow is scheduled to be executed, the SIEM device starts the work flow by scheduling the security tasks defined in the work flow. The SIEM device then collects results of security tasks performed by the one or more security devices.

  • Publication number: 20150106867
    Abstract: Systems and methods for conducting correlation analysis for security events with assets attributes of a network by a SIEM device to enable more efficient reporting are provided. According to one embodiment, when a SIEM device obtains a security event, a risk level of the security event is calculated based on at least a correlation of the security event with one or more asset attributes of a network that is managed by the SIEM device. When the risk level meets a predetermined or configurable threshold, the SIEM device causes the security event to be reported to an administrator of the network.

  • Patent number: 9009488
    Abstract: A security interface system creates plausible deniability, and consists of a security interface device having a port for a releasable connection to a PC and to a memory key containing an encrypted operating system, the interface device containing logic to decrypt the memory key and a plaintext bootloader, and a further port for a memory card containing a key. The key is entirely encrypted and appears as random data when inspected. The interface device may have a port(s) for a keyboard and mouse. An encryption and decryption method is described, for decrypting a ciphertext into one of two plaintexts by choice of a key, the choice of which plaintext depending on whether the secret is to be revealed or remain confidential.

  • Publication number: 20150073132
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for continuously preparing a water-soluble azo dye by coupling a nebulizer with a pipeline. According to the method, the nebulizer is coupled with a pipeline with an interception tower plate, atomized and mixed reaction liquid flow flows through the pipeline with the interception tower plate, and mixing and reacting are further enhanced through turbulent mixing on the tower plate, so that instant separation of reaction heat generated in an atomizing contact reaction from a reactant is achieved, and normal-temperature rapid continuous production of the water-soluble azo dye is achieved. Fog drops which are atomized by using the nebulizer have small particle diameter and large specific surface area, so that a diazo salt and a coupling component are sprayed separately, move face to face and can be fully contacted, and mixing and reacting speeds are increased.

  • Publication number: 20150047702
    Abstract: Photovoltaic devices conformally deposited on a nano-structured substrate having hills and valleys have corresponding hills and valleys in the device layers. We have found that disposing an insulator in the valleys of the device layers such that the top electrode of the device is insulated from the device layer valleys provides beneficial results. In particular, this insulator prevents electrical shorts that otherwise tend to occur in such devices.
