  • Publication number: 20240126869
    Abstract: A system for providing a human interface device firewall (HID-F) is disclosed, including a device detector to detect the presence of a human interface device and to turn on a human interface device firewall if a human interface device is detected. An interceptor intercepts one or more inputs and transmit the one or more inputs to a malicious input engine configured to analyze the one or more inputs for malicious input. If the input is deemed safe the one or more inputs are sent to a host operating system for processing. An encrypted data store receives and stores the one or more inputs from the malicious input engine. An enforcer receives the one or more inputs if they are deemed malicious and shuts down the one or more malicious inputs such that they are not sent to the host operating system. The HID-F also has advanced optional features such as: support multiple payload analyses, optional enforcement options, historical payload analysis, and complex meta rules bases on analyses results.

  • Patent number: 8182744
    Abstract: Systems and methods to reduce bioburden on at least a portion of a fluid transfer port include supplying a dose of radiation to the portion in optical communication with at least one source of radiation. In an illustrative example, a medical container, such as a vial or IV bag, receives a dose of ultraviolet (UV) energy substantially at a predetermined region of a fluid transfer site. In some examples, such a sanitization process may precede a fluid transfer operation in which a fluid is transferred into or out of the medical container by passing through the sanitized region. Such fluid transfers may be used in automated or semi-automated pharmaceutical processes, such as drug reconstitution. Various embodiments may further include one or more seal assemblies, each seal assembly having an aperture through which the radiation dose is supplied from the source to a controlled region on the fluid transfer port.
