  • Patent number: 11968222
    Abstract: Methods, storage systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include identifying multiple host computers executing respective instances of a specific software application, each given instance on each given host computer including a set of program instructions loaded, by the host computer, from a respective storage device. Information on actions performed by the executing instances is collected from the host computers, and features are computed based on the information collected from the multiple host computers. The collected information for a given instance are compared to the features so as to classify the given instance as benign or suspicious, and an alert s generated for the given instance only upon classifying the given instance as suspicious.

  • Publication number: 20230084691
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include protecting a computer system coupled to a storage device by detecting an executing process that performed a specific type of modification to a number of files stored on the storage device. A processor compares the detected number to a specified threshold and initiates, on the executing process, a preventive action in response to determining that the detected number exceeds the specified threshold.

  • Patent number: 11520886
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include protecting a computer system coupled to a storage device by storing, to the storage device, a set of protected files and one or more decoy files, wherein any modification to the decoy file indicates a cyber-attack on the computer system. Upon receiving a request from a process executing on the computing device to enumerate files stored on the storage device, the process is analyzed so as to classify the process as benign or suspicious. The protected files are enumerated to the process whether the process was classified as benign or suspicious. However, the one or more decoy files are enumerated to the process only upon process being classified as suspicious.

  • Patent number: 11471593
    Abstract: A device and method are disclosed for an elastic strip with a first fixed end and a second movable end, the elastic strip configured to be in at least one of a tense state and an elastic state. A release mechanism is configured to maintain the elastic strip in a tense state when the release mechanism is in a holding state, and configured to release the elastic strip when in a release state. A needle path with a first bend is provided. A rigid needle is configured to traverse a first portion of the needle path when the elastic strip is in the elastic state and a cannula is located in the needle path and configured to traverse a second portion of the needle path when the rigid needle traverses the first portion of the needle path.

  • Patent number: 11260172
    Abstract: A device and a method for insertion of a cannula into a user's tissue are disclosed. A patch pump comprising a non-linear needle path with a first bend may be provided. A rigid needle may be located in the non-linear needle path and may be composed of a material that allows the rigid needle to maintain a bend at the first bend when traversing the non-linear needle path. A movement mechanism may be configured to apply a first force on a first end of the rigid needle to cause the rigid needle to traverse the non-linear needle path from a first needle position to a second needle position. The cannula may receive a second force from a second end of the rigid needle when the movement mechanism applies the first force on the first end of the rigid needle and may be configured to traverse from a first cannula position to a second cannula position based on the second force.

  • Patent number: 8075578
    Abstract: An apparatus is described for making a circular incision in a surface. The apparatus includes a handle and an elongated blade assembly extending from the handle. The blade assembly includes a rotor. The rotor includes a bar having an elongated axis, with at least one blade extending from the bar. The rotor is adapted to rotate about an axis substantially parallel to the blade, the blade being substantially perpendicular to the elongated axis of the bar. The blade assembly is adapted to extend the blade for making the circular incision and to retract the blade. In the retracted state, the bar is aligned with the blade assembly, preventing direct contact between the blade and the surface.
