  • Publication number: 20240378285
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes collecting historical event log data from host devices and training a first model to convert textual log events of the historical event log data into event embedding vectors. The method further includes training a second model to classify whether at least some of the event embedding vectors represent abnormal or potentially malicious behavior. The second model is a hierarchical temporal event transformer model. The method further includes deploying the trained first model and the trained second model to predict a likelihood of a malicious cybersecurity event occurring within a first predetermined period of time from a current time. A computer program product, according to another approach, includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method.

  • Publication number: 20240359465
    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a printhead cap system is described. The printhead cap system includes a cap having an elastomer seal to surround a printhead die on a print cartridge. The printhead cap system also includes a variable force capping station to retain the cap. The variable force capping station is to move the cap to 1) a first position wherein the cap exerts a first force on a substrate on which the printhead die is disposed and 2) a second position wherein the cap exerts a second force on the substrate. In an example, the second force is greater than the first force. The printhead cap system also includes a control system to raise the cap from an uncapped position through the first position and the second position.

  • Patent number: 11781732
    Abstract: A lighting fixture with reduced glare is provided. Lighting fixtures described herein use a lens assembly to redirect light away from a housing in order to reduce a unified glaring ratio (UGR) (e.g., when viewed crosswise or endwise). The lens assembly may further provide diffusive properties which result in a more pleasing and soft light over traditional lighting fixtures. In aspects described herein, the UGR of troffer-style lighting fixtures can be improved (e.g., reduced) through lens assemblies having one or more light redirection features configured to particularly redirect light emitted at high v-angles (e.g., light emitted sideways relative to the housing at v-angles greater than 70 degrees). For example, the lens assembly may include an inner prismatic surface of a lens, an inner lens, a louver assembly (e.g., over or under a lens), or a reflector to achieve this light redirection.
