  • Publication number: 20220342990
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes the detection of malware campaigns based on analysis of attributes of telemetry data. Telemetry data associated with malware campaign detection includes multiple attributes and is associated with a first time interval. Statistics of a target statistic set are calculated based on a composite time series of the multiple attributes of the telemetry data. The target set is compared to a historical statistic set based on a second time interval and, based on the target set exceeding a statistic threshold of the historical set, peak detection analysis of the target set is performed. Based on the analysis indicating the presence of a valid peak result, a notification of detection of a malware campaign is sent, wherein the notification includes data indicative of the valid peak result and enables a receiver of the notification to take corrective action.

  • Publication number: 20220298508
    Abstract: Provided herein are oligonucleotide agents comprising one or more therapeutic oligonucleotides such as siRNA and one or more targeting conjugate compounds. In certain embodiments, the conjugate compound comprises one or more N-Acetylgalactosamine as targeting group, branching group and linker group. By incorporating long carbon chains into the GalNAc clusters instead of using multiple amide groups to elongate the chain length, simplification of the synthesis by reducing the number of steps is achieved.

  • Patent number: 10904938
    Abstract: A telematics controller is programmed identify a location of the vehicle responsive to failure of a vehicle-originated data call to initiate packet-switched communications, and send, to a service delivery network configured to provide data services to the vehicle, a message specifying that circuit-switched communication but not packet-switched communication is available to the vehicle. A message is received, over a wide-area network from a vehicle, in response to a failed initiation of a packed-switched data connection over the wide-area network, indicating that packet-switched communications are unavailable at a current location of the vehicle. Failure zones are updated to indicate that the current location of the vehicle is a network location supporting circuit-switched communication but not packet-switched communication over the wide-area network.
