Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for detecting and mitigating ransomware using snapshot-based backups applied to a block-oriented storage device, by performing the following operations: (i) performing, in predetermined time-intervals, snapshot backups of data in a block-oriented storage device; (ii) determining at least one interval malware index value between a last snapshot backup and a next planned snapshot backup, wherein the interval malware index value is indicative of a changed block rate in stored data of storage blocks of the block-oriented storage device; and (iii) in response to determining that the interval malware index value is larger than a predefined interval malware index threshold value, triggering an emergency snapshot.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transmission structure for a hybrid vehicle with an internal combustion engine, a first electric machine, and a second electric machine. In this case, a first electric machine shaft which is assigned to the first electric machine can be driven by a drive shaft which can be driven by the internal combustion engine via a first gear set. In this case, a travel drive gear of a differential gearing of the vehicle can be driven by a second electric machine shaft assigned to the second electric machine via a second gear set. The transmission structure can thereby be compactly designed and in particular, the use of the installation space and/or the efficiency of the electric machines can be improved in that the first gear set has a ring gear with inner teeth and a spur gear which engages with the inner teeth of the ring gear.

Abstract: A warp-knitted spacer fabric has a first and a second planar warp-knit layer that are joined together by spacer yarns. The first warp-knit layer is formed by a first yarn system having a first pattern and a second yarn system having a second pattern. The first pattern is a modified pillar-stitch in which the yarns of the first yarn system form pillar stitches in alternating sequence in the working direction and are guided without formation of stitches, and the yarns of the second yarn system are each guided over at least two adjacent stitch wales and running in the working direction. The second warp-knit layer has openings formed by a plurality of stitches.

Abstract: The inventive film clamping element (10) is held using a lip ring (14) and a vestibular ring (16), between which and possibly beyond which a film (12) extends. The film (12) and also said rings (14, 16) are elastically deformable and it is provided that the film (12) comprises an attachment (24, 26) each at two positions opposite one another. Between these attachments (24, 26) at least one elastic band (20, 22) extends which is suitable to constrict the film (12) radially towards the inside.

Abstract: The invention suggests a system for monitoring the exposure of a patient (1) to at least one environmental factor. The system particularly comprises a database (8) storing an environmental prescription for the patient, the environmental prescription specifying a maximum level of the environmental factor and a minimum duration for the level of the environmental factor to be smaller than the maximum level, and an evaluation module (7) configured to detect on the basis of a measurement signal and the stored environmental prescription a time interval in which a level of the environmental factor is below the maximum level and to compare the duration of the detected time interval with the minimum duration. On the basis of the result of this comparison, healthcare staff can plan activities in such a way that the patient is provided with a rest period substantially having the minimum duration.

Abstract: An input/output system including: an input/output base unit which has a plurality of slots into which input/output modules are pluggable; an evaluation device; and at least one cover element which is arrangeable on one of the plurality of slots of the input/output base unit. The evaluation device detects a presence of the at least one cover element at a slot of the plurality of slots.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and techniques for detecting and effecting countermeasures against cyber-attacks on networked electrical power system (NEPS) devices include a trusted cyber-attack detection (TCAD) component including pre-trained cyber-attack detection logic which receives a first input indicating a physical parameter of a NEPS device and a second input indicating a computational state of a computer system of the NEPS device, determines an attack metric in response to the plurality of inputs. The attack metric can indicate whether the NEPS device is in the process of being attacked or whether the NEPS device has been successfully attacked and has been compromised.

Abstract: A hinge includes a first part disposed in a first member and a second part disposed on a second member. The first part includes a first curved part with an arc shape protruding to outside in a radial direction of a rotational center, and a second curved part disposed outside the first curved part in the radial direction of the rotational center with spacing from the first curved part with an arc shape along the first curved part. The second part includes a connection disposed between the first curved part and the second curved part, wherein the connection moves smoothly along the first curved part and the second curved part about the rotational center. The second part couples, with the first part, the first member and the second member together to allow the first member and the second member to relatively rotate about the rotational center.
