Publication number: 20240089235Abstract: A packet-filtering network appliance such as a threat intelligence gateway (TIG) protects TCP/IP networks from Internet threats by enforcing certain policies on in-transit packets that are crossing network boundaries. The policies are composed of packet filtering rules derived from cyber threat intelligence (CTI). Logs of rule-matching packets and their associated flows are sent to cyberanalysis applications located at security operations centers (SOCs) and operated by cyberanalysts. Some cyber threats/attacks, or incidents, are composed of many different flows occurring at a very high rate, which generates a flood of logs that may overwhelm computer, storage, network, and cyberanalysis resources, thereby compromising cyber defenses.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: John Fenton, Peter Geremia, Richard Goodwin, Sean Moore, Vincent Mutolo, Jess P. Parnell, Jonathan R. Rogers

Publication number: 20240066437Abstract: Method and apparatus are provided to select target metal particles from aggregate ore. A feed stream of aggregate is directed along a path and a higher density portion is segregated therefrom. Detectors are arranged in-line and along the flow of the higher density portion. High resolution detection of a target particles within the feed stream triggers ejection of a select portion of the feed stream and target particle as a concentrate and the balance continues to a further phase of detection/ejection. The concentrate is processed in further stages or collected as product. Multiple parallel detector/ejectors across the path can isolate target particles and minimize the ejected gangue portion associated therewith. Dry or hydrodynamic transport of the feed stream is available determined by aggregate characteristics. A compact footprint of the apparatus is achieved with arcuate paths and multi-level conveyance whilst low energy requirements enables use in artisan installations.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2021Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: ECO METALS RECOVERY (HOLDING) LIMITEDInventors: John Dean Ackerman, Sean Goodwin

Patent number: 8757987Abstract: A differentially pumped mass spectrometer system comprises a mass spectrometer having first and second pressure chambers through which, during use, ions are conveyed along a path. A pump assembly for differentially evacuating the chambers is attached to the mass spectrometer. The pump assembly comprises a housing attached to the mass spectrometer and a cartridge inserted into the housing. The cartridge has a plurality of inlets each for receiving fluid from a respective pressure chamber and a pumping mechanism for differentially pumping fluid from the chambers. The cartridge is inserted into the housing such that the pumping mechanism is inclined relative to the ion path, but with the cartridge protruding into the mass spectrometer to such an extent that at least one of the inlets at least partially protrudes into its respective chamber without crossing the ion path.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2010Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Edwards LimitedInventors: Martin Nicholas Stuart, David John Goodwin, Ian Olsen
