Publication number: 20180045126Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a method for operating including, determining, using an accelerator pedal position sensor, an operator request for power and determining an engine operating point based upon the operator request for power. A motored-cylinder temperature is determined based upon the engine operating point, and a knock-limited combustion phasing point is determined based upon the motored-cylinder temperature and the engine operating point. Engine operating parameters associated with achieving the knock-limited combustion phasing point are selected. Operation includes controlling, by a controller, engine control states in response to the engine operating parameters associated with achieving the knock-limited combustion phasing point and the operator request for power.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2015Publication date: February 15, 2018Applicant: GM Global Technology Operations LLCInventors: Yongsheng HE, Jim LIU, David SUN, Jonathan T.

Publication number: 20170195361Abstract: A method for automatically mitigating vulnerabilities in a source code of an application is provided in the present invention. The method includes the following steps. First, the source code is complied, and a path graph is built according to the compiled source code. The path graph includes a plurality of paths traversing from sources to sinks, and each of the paths includes a plurality of nodes. Then, at least one tainted path is identified by enabling a plurality of vulnerability rules. Each of the at least one tainted path corresponds to a vulnerability, and each of the at least one vulnerability corresponds to a sanitization method. Then, the at least one vulnerability is determined if it is mitigable. If the at least one vulnerability is mitigable, the at least one vulnerability is mitigated automatically. Furthermore, the method may be implemented as a system and a computer program product.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2017Publication date: July 6, 2017Applicant: Lucent Sky CorporationInventor: Jim Liu

Patent number: 9339925Abstract: A fastener driving device includes a housing having an engine receiving portion and a handle portion. A reservoir is configured to receive a gas having a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure and is at least partially located in the handle portion. A dust blower is configured to allow gas in the reservoir to be selectively communicated to atmosphere through an outlet in the engine receiving portion of the housing. The dust blower includes a passageway extending from the reservoir to the outlet in the engine receiving portion, the passageway at least partially circumnavigating the cylinder of the drive engine, and an actuator configured to selectively open and close the passageway so that when the passageway is open, gas from the reservoir is communicated from the reservoir to the outlet, and when the passageway is closed, the gas from the reservoir is not communicated from the reservoir to the outlet.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2010Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: STANLEY FASTENING SYSTEMS, L.P.Inventors: Jim Liu, Sean Lee, Benson Liao

Publication number: 20130147870Abstract: A printing method for three-dimensional painting by UV digital printing device has acts of: First, preparing a printing device having a white print set and a color print set. Second, moving the printing device transversely from one side to the other side of an object for multiple times, wherein the two print sets respectively print on two adjacent zones. Third, moving the printing device longitudinally to next zone on the object. Fourth, repeating the second and third acts until the printing device moves over a last zone on the object. The printing device moves longitudinally after the printing device moves transversely to and fro to finish the height of a zone. Thus, the printing device completes all the heights and the colors in one time of longitudinal moving. Then printing consumes less time and the printing device therefore does not have to be orientated again.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2011Publication date: June 13, 2013Applicants: DIGITAL PHOTONICS CORPORATION, ANDERSON INDUSTRIAL CORP.Inventors: Awen YEH, Kai LIU, Jim LIU, Chen-Ying CHENG, Chih-Yi LAI, Mao-Feng TU
