  • Publication number: 20180375897
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for emulating devices communicating over a network. In one example, the method includes scanning real network devices by sending a network traffic, recording the network responses from the real network devices, and deploying unikernel-based virtual machines based on the recorded network responses. The unikernel virtual machines may respond to an external network scan based on the fingerprint files and the service files generated from the recorded network responses.

  • Patent number: 7516194
    Abstract: A method and system for downloading high volumes of content from the Internet without adversely affecting the source of the content or being detected. A director server processes data received from a data source to generate a list of addresses for content to download. The director server assigns a portion of the list of addresses to one or more puller servers. Puller servers initiate requests to download content that corresponds to their assigned list of addresses. A proxy gateway server receives the download request for content, and downloads the content via various Internet Protocol addresses.

  • Patent number: 6872328
    Abstract: A method of polishing or planarizing a substrate comprising abrading at least a portion of the surface of a substrate comprising a metal, metal oxide, metal composite, or mixture thereof, with a composition comprising a metal oxide abrasive and a liquid carrier, wherein the composition has a pH of about 7 or less and the metal oxide abrasive has a total surface hydroxyl group density no greater than about 3 hydroxyl groups per nm2.

  • Patent number: 6716755
    Abstract: A composition and a method for planarizing or polishing a surface with the composition are provided. The composition comprises a liquid carrier, a chemical accelerator, and solids comprising about 5-90 wt. % of fumed metal oxide, and about 10-95 wt. % of abrasive particles, wherein about 90% or more of the abrasive particles (by number) have a particle size no greater than 100 nm. The composition of the present invention is useful in planarizing or polishing a surface with high polishing efficiency, uniformity, and removal rate, with minimal defectivity, such as field loss of underlying structures and topography.

  • Patent number: 6432319
    Abstract: An absorption heat pump achieves improved efficiency by lowering the low cycle temperature of the circulation fluid. This is accomplished by adding a crystallization-inhibiting compound to the circulation fluid which substantially depresses the temperature at which the absorbent salt in the fluid begins to crystallize.

  • Publication number: 20020083103
    Abstract: Documents translated from one language to another, especially machine-translated documents, typically require editing to better reflect the nuances of language content and meaning; and especially the use of nomenclature that is culture and or industry specific, or even company specific. A dynamic database of editing rules helps to automate this editing of already-translated documents. An initial set of editing rules is deployed in the database and used to edit machine-translated documents. Manual changes subsequently made to the machine-edited documents are recorded and that data is used to form updates or additions to the initial editing rules. Over time, the rules database improves so that machine editing is more effective and, conversely, the manual editing burden and corresponding cost is reduced.
