  • Patent number: 12287871
    Abstract: Provided is an intrusion detection technique configured to: obtain kernel-filter criteria indicative of which network traffic is to be deemed potentially malicious, determine that a network packet is resident in a networking stack, access at least part of the network packet, apply the kernel-filter criteria to the at least part of the network packet and, based on applying the kernel-filter criteria, determining that the network packet is potentially malicious, associate the network packet with an identifier of an application executing in userspace of the operating system and to which or from which the network packet is sent, and report the network packet in association with the identifier of the application to an intrusion-detection agent executing in userspace of the operating system of the host computing device, the intrusion-detection agent being different from the application to which or from which the network packet is sent.

  • Publication number: 20250122641
    Abstract: A method of forming a diamond coated glass structure includes providing a substrate having a first and a second side, with each side having at least one corner and one edge. A first portion of the first side can be masked and a CVD diamond layer deposited on a second portion of the first side of the substrate. After diamond deposition, ion substitution can be used to chemically modify at least a portion of the substrate. In some embodiments, flatness of substrates can be maintained despite compressive effects due to diamond coatings. In other embodiments, ion substitution into a partially diamond coated glass structure will greatly increase impact resistance at the corners, provide lower impact resistance at the edges, and have lowest impact resistance in a central region of the diamond coated glass structure.

  • Publication number: 20250122118
    Abstract: A method of forming a diamond coated glass structure includes providing a glass substrate having a first and a second side. The second side can be covered in whole or in part with a coating capable of reducing ion exchange. The substrate can be bent to form the first side as convex and the second side as concave. A CVD diamond layer can be deposited on the convex first side of the substrate and at least a portion of the substrate chemically modified through ion exchange. After removal of the stress, the stresses due to applied diamond layers and chemical modification through ion exchange can balance, providing a substantially flat diamond coated glass structure.

  • Publication number: 20250119606
    Abstract: A prediction model is generated for a user using data regarding how the user responded to different positionings of items of ancillary content. The prediction model is used to determine respective positionings of a plurality of items of ancillary content. The items of ancillary content are streamed to and displayed by a user device as interstitial content using the determined respective positionings. Frames of an item of primary content may be analyzed to identify appropriate interstitial insertion points and to generate labels. The labels may be utilized by a remote system to select and stream interstitial content for the insertion points. The user's location may be determined and used to determine a maximum amount of ancillary content for a corresponding time period. Different amounts of ancillary content for a given time period may be provided to different users based on a registration state.
