Abstract: A method, including collecting, during a time period from multiple computers, reports of events, each of the events including communication activity performed by a process having a respective ID and executing on one of the computers. Respective sets of features including characteristics of the activity are generated from the reports, and a model is trained for identifying, based on the features of one or more of the events, the ID of one of the processes performing the one or more of the events. An alert indicating malicious activity and referencing one or more reports of additional communication events performed by a given computer is received from a network management device, and the model is applied to the one or more reports so as to identify, on the given computer, a given ID of a given process responsible for the alert. Finally, a protective action is initiated for the given process.

Abstract: An AC circuit PLC injection module of a PLC-enabled power and data distribution system (300) includes: an AC power input (307) to receive an AC power signal; a PLC transceiver circuit (430/440) to couple a PLC signal onto the AC power signal; an AC circuit (411) to supply the AC power and the PLC signal; and a PLC blocking line filter (450) to filter the PLC signal from passing to the AC power input. An associated method for a system having plural PLC transmitters connected to plural PLC enabled devices via plural AC circuits each associated with one of the PLC transmitters, includes: setting PLC network IDs for each of the PLC enabled devices to a default PLC network ID, and then assigning each of the PLC enabled devices connected to each of the PLC transmitters to a PLC network ID uniquely assigned that PLC transmitter.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for smoothly dimming a solid state light (SSL) source. The method includes measuring a dimming angle (S322) of a voltage received from a dimmer, determining a target brightness (S323) of light to be output by the SSL source corresponding to the dimming angle, determining a current brightness (S324) of light currently output by the SSL source, and determining a slew rate (S325) based on the current brightness and the target brightness. The current brightness of the light currently output by the SSL source is adjusted (S326) to the target brightness using the nonlinear slew rate.

Abstract: Within an easily hand gripped alarm clock, preferably of a soft sperical exterior shape, a shakeable switching means. A first standard alarm is silenced by laterally shaking the clock, and a second moaning sound is emitted after the lateral shaking. A grimacing face imprinted on the round clock face enhances the cathartic effect. The laterally shakeable switch is an enclosed container of mercury with an alarm contact in the central lower bowl and an elevated surrounding trough sloping into the bowl through a channel containing electrical contacts for the second moan sound. The mercury makes and breaks the contacts. An alternative laterally shakeable switch provides an electrically conductive sphere within an enclosed container having a bottom indentation with alarm contacts and an upwardly sloping surrounding spiral trough with parallel track contacts for the moan sound in the bottom of the trough. The sphere connects either sound producing contact pair.
