Publication number: 20230275874Abstract: This application provides a network security protection method and a protection device, and pertains to the field of communication technologies. The protection device implements adaptive switching between different detection modes based on application layer data of a data packet exchanged between a client device and a server in a session. This avoids a case in which a threat is missed when only a flow mode is used, and avoids a case in which a large quantity of unnecessary resources are occupied when only a proxy mode is used. Therefore, protection effect is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Applicant: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Xinqian He, Kan Zhou

Publication number: 20230275924Abstract: This application provides a network security protection method and a protection device, and pertains to the field of communication technologies. When a client and a server exchange a packet in a first session, a protection device identifies an application layer protocol type based on application layer data in the packet in the first session, and if determining, based on the application layer protocol type, that a detection mode is a proxy mode, the protection device performs security detection on a subsequent packet in the first TCP session in the proxy mode. This breaks a technical bottleneck that the packet in the first TCP session can be detected in only a flow mode, ensures that the packet in the first TCP session can also be detected in the proxy mode, and avoids missing attack detection caused because the packet in the first TCP session is limited to the flow mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Xinqian He, Kan Zhou

Patent number: 11065931Abstract: A suspension system includes a primary actuator, an inertial actuator, and a controller. The primary actuator applies force between a sprung mass and an unsprung mass of a vehicle to control movement therebetween. The inertial actuator applies force between the unsprung mass and a reaction mass to damp movement of the unsprung mass. The inertial actuator has a threshold capacity. The controller controls the primary actuator and the inertial actuator. The controller determines a required damping of the movement of the unsprung mass, and apportions the required damping between the primary actuator and the inertial actuator.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Paul J. Keas, Jonathan L. Hall, Kan Zhou, Troy A. Carter, Neal M. Lackritz

Patent number: 10906370Abstract: A suspension actuator assembly includes a first actuator and a second actuator. The first actuator selectively applies a first force between an unsprung mass and a sprung mass of a vehicle to control movement therebetween. The second actuator selectively applies a second force between the unsprung mass and a reaction mass to damp movement of the unsprung mass. The second actuator is coupled to the first actuator to form the suspension actuator assembly as a singular unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2018Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jonathan L.
