Abstract: A threat intelligence gateway (TIG) may protect TCP/IP networks from network (e.g., Internet) threats by enforcing certain policies on in-transit packets that are crossing network boundaries. The policies may be composed of packet filtering rules with packet-matching criteria derived from cyber threat intelligence (CTI) associated with Internet threats. These CTI-derived packet-filtering rules may be created offline by policy creation and management servers, which may distribute the policies to subscribing TIGs that subsequently enforce the policies on in-transit packets. Each packet filtering rule may specify a disposition that may be applied to a matching in-transit packet, such as deny/block/drop the in-transit packet or pass/allow/forward the in-transit packet, and also may specify directives that may be applied to a matching in-transit packet, such as log, capture, spoof-tcp-rst, etc.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for inducing tolerance and/or suppressing an immune response to an antigen by passing a cell suspension containing an anucleate cell through a constriction, wherein the constriction deforms the cell thereby causing a perturbation of the cell such that an antigen and/or tolerogenic factor enters the cell. In some embodiments, the anucleate cell is delivered to an individual and the antigen is delivered to and processed in a tolerogenic environment to induce tolerance and/or suppress an immune response to the antigen.

Abstract: A risk rating method and system that predicts the risk likelihood, the risk impact, and the risk rating of certain threats and vulnerabilities from exploiting different component groups. In some embodiments, the system's predictions (also referred to herein as inferences) are generated based on data elements provided by a user about its organization's information systems. In further embodiments, the method and system utilizes data mining, historical records, and an AI Engine to provide the predictions for the risk likelihood, the risk impact, and the risk rating posed by the various threat occurrences.

Abstract: Described herein are examples of drop-in full automatic trigger groups. A drop-in full automatic trigger group may be configured for installation within a lower receiver of a firearm. The trigger group may a housing defined by a first trigger pin hole, a first hammer pin hole, and a first sear pin hole; a second trigger pin hole substantially collinear with the first trigger pin hole, a second hammer pin hole substantially collinear with the first hammer pin hole, and a second sear pin hole substantially collinear with the first sear pin hole. The trigger group may include a trigger mechanism disposed at least partially within the housing. The trigger group may include a hammer mechanism disposed at least partially within the housing. The trigger group may include a sear mechanism disposed at least partially within the housing.

Abstract: A secure content delivery or access method may include coordination among three devices such as servers—a content management server, a delivery server, and an authorization server. A request for content may originate from an authorization server application, and may involve the application obtaining two digitally signed tokens for the request. The first token may be from the authorization server, and may include a content management server identifier for the requested content. The second token may include two identifiers for the content: the first identifier being the content management server identifier, and the second being a delivery server identifier. The first and second tokens may be signed by the authorization server and content management server, respectively, and may be delivered to the delivery server for validation. Successful validation may result in the delivery server providing a content decryption key for the requested content to a device requesting the content.

Abstract: Methods and systems for network communication are disclosed. Proxy information may be received. The proxy information may facilitate a gateway device communicating as a proxy for a user device.

Abstract: A lubricating oil composition is described. The composition includes a major amount of a base oil of lubricating viscosity and a polyphosphate-based dispersion. The dispersion includes an ammonium polyphosphate and a dispersing agent.

Abstract: A method for multi-touch detection in a touch input device comprising a grid based sensor, the method comprises sampling outputs from a grid based sensor over a first stage of detection, selecting sensor lines based on the sampled outputs, scanning the selected sensor lines along one axis of the grid based sensor over a second stage of detection, and determining positions of user interaction based on outputs sampled in response to scanning the selected sensor lines during the second stage of detection.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses are described for sending different update times corresponding to a same version of a resource. A computing device may provide a version of a resource in response to requests from a plurality of different devices, and may indicate different update times for the version of the resource. The different update times may be based on times associated with the requests from the plurality of different devices.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for managing concurrent requests from clients for services. Client computing devices may be permitted to use available capacity beyond their associated thresholds. If a total quantity of current connections associated with a service is greater than or equal to a total connection threshold, connections with a client exceeding its connection threshold may be closed. A request for a new connection from another client may be granted based on closing the connections.

Abstract: A content network is presented where at least one of non-personalized data commonly applicable to a user base and personalized data is maintained. In an aspect, each element of the personalized data may be applicable to at least one, but less than all, of users within the user base. The non-personalized data may be stored across a plurality of servers included in a group, and the personalized data is stored across at least one, but less than all, of the plurality of computing devices included in the group. An update to data stored may be received and a determination made as to whether the update to data is to the non-personalized data or the personalized data. Then, one of the non-personalized data or the personalized data set stored in the server may be updated.

Abstract: A supplementary circuit for process supply lines of a welding torch or cutting torch has at least one connection device to a welding current source arranged on it, wherein electrical energy and other media are conveyed to the welding torch or cutting torch via the connection device and via a process supply line that is preferably held in a hose pack of the welding torch or cutting torch. Electrical energy for operating a peripheral device, such as a sensor, a drive unit or a controller for the drive unit, is branched or tapped off from at least one electrical process supply line without significantly affecting the electric arc process. The supplementary circuit provided for branching or tapping off the electrical energy is coupled in parallel onto the welding current circuit. This coupling is based on direct ohmic contact or on a galvanic coupling.
