  • Patent number: 11809556
    Abstract: A system and a method for analyzing files using visual cues in the presentation of the file is provided. These visual aids may be extracted using a convolutional neural network, classified, and used in conjunction with file metadata to determine if a provided document is likely to be malicious. This methodology may be extended to detect a variety of social engineering-related attacks including phishing sites or malicious emails. A method for analyzing a received file to determine if the received file comprises malicious code begins with generating an image that would be displayed if the received file is opened by the native software program. Then the image is analyzed, and output is generated. Metadata is also extracted from the received file. Then, a maliciousness score is generated based on the output, the metadata, and a reference dataset.

A method for analyzing a received file to determine if the received file comprises malicious code begins with generating an image that would be displayed if the received file is opened by the native software program. Then the image is analyzed, and object boundaries data is generated. Metadata is also extracted from the received file. Then, a maliciousness score is generated based on the object boundaries data, the metadata, and a reference dataset.

  • Patent number: 9791563
    Abstract: The various embodiments presented herein relate to utilizing an operational single-channel radar to collect and process synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and ground moving target indicator (GMTI) imagery from a same set of radar returns. In an embodiment, data is collected by randomly staggering a slow-time pulse repetition interval (PRI) over a SAR aperture such that a number of transmitted pulses in the SAR aperture is preserved with respect to standard SAR, but many of the pulses are spaced very closely enabling movers (e.g., targets) to be resolved, wherein a relative velocity of the movers places them outside of the SAR ground patch. The various embodiments of image reconstruction can be based on compressed sensing inversion from undersampled data, which can be solved efficiently using such techniques as Bregman iteration. The various embodiments enable high-quality SAR reconstruction, and high-quality GMTI reconstruction from the same set of radar returns.

  • Patent number: 9093249
    Abstract: Systems and methods for conducting electron or scanning probe microscopy are provided herein. In a general embodiment, the systems and methods for conducting electron or scanning probe microscopy with an undersampled data set include: driving an electron beam or probe to scan across a sample and visit a subset of pixel locations of the sample that are randomly or pseudo-randomly designated; determining actual pixel locations on the sample that are visited by the electron beam or probe; and processing data collected by detectors from the visits of the electron beam or probe at the actual pixel locations and recovering a reconstructed image of the sample.
