Abstract: Approaches for monitoring a host operating system. A threat model is stored and maintained in an isolated execution environment. The threat model identifies for any process executing on a host operating system how trustworthy the process should be deemed based on a pattern of observed behavior. The execution of the process and those processes in a monitoring circle relationship thereto are monitored. The monitoring circle relationship includes a parent process, any process in communication with a member of monitoring circle relationship, and any process instantiated by a present member of monitoring circle relationship. Observed process behavior is correlated with the threat model. Upon determining that a particular process has behaved in a manner inconsistent with a pattern of allowable behavior identified by the threat model for that process, a responsive action is taken.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a door stop mechanism to be used as a child safety device. The door stop mechanism of the invention is for a door with a rotating door opening mechanism and a door jamb. The invention includes a blocking element, a flexible positioning member and an attachment hook member integrally joined to form a single molded structure. The door stop mechanism of the invention is attached to the rotating shaft of a door opening mechanism, such that the door stop mechanism will rotate in direct relation to the rotation of the door opening mechanism. In its closed position, the door stop mechanism rests across the edge of the door to prevent the door from completely closing. To close the door, the door opening mechanism must be rotated and held in this rotated position while closing the door. When the door opening mechanism is rotated, the blocking element of the present invention is moved away from the door edge which allows the door to be closed.
