Abstract: A method/system/computer program for obtaining the network origin of a downloaded entity of interest (e.g. a threat or malicious software). The method includes recording the network locations of at least some files downloaded to a processing system and recording the physical locations of the at least some files stored in one or more storage devices of the processing system. Then, identifying an entity of interest in the processing system and searching the recorded network locations and the recorded physical locations for the network location and the physical location of the entity of interest. Then, if the network location and the physical location of the entity of interest is identified, transmitting the network location and the physical location of the entity of interest to a remote processing system.

Abstract: A method, system, computer program product, and/or computer readable medium of instructions for identifying a malicious entity in a processing system, comprising determining an entity threat value for an entity, the entity threat value being indicative of a level of threat that the entity represents to the processing system, wherein the entity threat value is determined based on one or more characteristics of the entity; and compare the entity threat value to an entity threat threshold to identify if the entity is malicious. In another form, there is provided a method, system, computer program product, and/or computer readable medium of instructions for identifying a malicious entity in a processing system, comprising determining one or more input values indicative of an entity; and performing a fuzzy logic analysis in relation to the one or more input values to identify if the entity is malicious.

Abstract: A method, system, computer program product and/or computer readable medium of instructions for detecting malicious software, comprising intercepting a request to perform an activity in a processing system; determining an entity associated with the activity, wherein the entity comprises at least one of: a requesting entity of the activity; and a target entity of the activity; analysing the entity and the activity to determine if the request is associated with malicious software; and in the event that the request is determined to be associated with malicious software, restricting the request to perform the activity in the processing system.

Abstract: A method, system, computer program product and/or computer readable medium of instructions to detect malicious activity. The method comprises intercepting an activity in a processing system, wherein a requesting entity requests the activity to be performed in relation to a target entity; determining, using a filter module if the activity is suspicious or non-suspicious; and in response to determining that the activity is suspicious, analysing at least one of the activity, the requesting entity and the target entity using an analysis module to detect malicious activity. There is also disclosed a method, system, computer program product and/or computer readable medium of instructions to facilitate the detection of malicious activity.

Abstract: A method/system for determining a group of related entities of interest in one or more processing systems. The method comprises identifying a starting entity from one or more entities in the one or more processing systems, then obtaining, based on an entity type of the starting entity, a first set of rules for determining at least one other related entity, and then determining, using the first set of rules, the at least one related entity.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for EUV light production is disclosed which may comprise a laser produced plasma (“LPP”) extreme ultraviolet (“EUV”) light source control system comprising a target delivery system adapted to deliver moving plasma initiation targets and an EUV light collection optic having a focus defining a desired plasma initiation site, comprising: a target tracking and feedback system comprising: at least one imaging device providing as an output an image of a target stream track, wherein the target stream track results from the imaging speed of the camera being too slow to image individual plasma formation targets forming the target stream imaged as the target stream track; a stream track error detector detecting an error in the position of the target stream track in at least one axis generally perpendicular to the target stream track from a desired stream track intersecting the desired plasma initiation site.

Abstract: A system and method for using a network access point to implement transparent Web Service functionality between processing deficient terminals and Web Service providers by allowing the terminals to access Web Services using abbreviated Web Service requests. The abbreviated Web Service requests are then translated into conventional Web Service requests by the network access point and subsequently forwarded onto the Web Service provider. The conventional Web Service response is then optionally translated into an abbreviated response to accommodate the processing deficiencies of the Web Service requester.

Abstract: This invention pertains to the measurement of mutual understanding between cooperating participants, and for facilitating productive change, based on the results. It incorporates new measures, based on three independent types of cognitive conflict (pseudo, overt and hidden), and cognitive consensus. The measures are applied to issues elicited from participants. The issues are represented as bipolar hypotheses, and measured by capturing people's own viewpoints, and their predictions of others' viewpoints, using a rating scale. “Fuzzy” responses, indicated by selecting more than one point on the rating scale, are permitted. A fifth measure, cognitive uncertainty, is used for handling fuzzy responses. The method uses 100% of the information in questionnaire responses, partitioning predictions into the five components of mutual understanding.
