  • Publication number: 20150159755
    Abstract: A resilient metal seal that includes a PTFE jacket or liner capable of improving the sealing performance of the resilient metal seal and providing a near chemically inert surface to protect the seal from coming into contact with potentially damaging media is provided. In some embodiments, the resilient metal seal is an E-, U-, C-, or V-shaped resilient metal seal. A jacket made of PTFE or similar material can be included on the interior or exterior surface of the resilient metal seal. The jacket can include a locking feature to prevent against the jacket becoming dislodged from the resilient metal seal.

  • Publication number: 20070039038
    Abstract: Phishing detection, prevention, and notification is described. In an embodiment, a messaging application facilitates communication via a messaging user interface, and receives a communication, such as an email message, from a domain. A phishing detection module detects a phishing attack in the communication by determining that the domain is similar to a known phishing domain, or by detecting suspicious network properties of the domain. In another embodiment, a Web browsing application receives content, such as data for a Web page, from a network-based resource, such as a Web site or domain. The Web browsing application initiates a display of the content, and a phishing detection module detects a phishing attack in the content by determining that a domain of the network-based resource is similar to a known phishing domain, or that an address of the network-based resource from which the content is received has suspicious network properties.

  • Publication number: 20060225136
    Abstract: Techniques for protecting personally identifiable information are described. In an implementation, a method is described which includes analyzing heuristics which correspond to a communication to determine a likelihood that the communication relates to a fraudulent attempt to obtain personally identifiable information. A determination is made based on the determined likelihood of whether to perform one or more actions in conjunction with the communication.

  • Publication number: 20060092474
    Abstract: Image processing system and method automatically process a series of input images without operator's intervention. Each of the input images is automatically analyzed, classified, enhanced and/or compressed. Individual image enhancement is applied to each of the input images independently. A plurality of enhanced and/or compressed images can be outputted without re-analyzing and re-classifying the input image. The processed images have a high compression to quality ratio, produce images having quality and visual characteristics as viewed by a human including image contrast, brightness, and sharpness as compared with the input image, while capable of reducing the amount of memory required for storing the output images. The image processing system and method can process the images in real time on-the-fly or in a batch mode, and can operate in a wire and/or wireless transmission environment or embedded in a hardware, firmware, or software which is embedded in another system or application.

  • Patent number: 6956149
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for conveying resistance to beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) to a sugar beet plant, which method comprises the following steps: (a) preparing a DNA fragment consisting of a nucleotide sequence that corresponds to nucleotides 153 to 3258 of the genomic RNA 1 of the beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV); (b) introducing said DNA fragment, operatively linked to a promoter that is active in sugar beet plants, into a sugar beet plant cell to obtain a transformed sugar beet cell; and (c) regenerating a transgenic sugar beet plant from the transformed sugar beet plant cell.

  • Patent number: 4657783
    Abstract: A process for effecting the high speed coating (as herein defined) of both sides of a lightweight paper sheet (as herein defined) with coatings of low dry coatweight (as herein defined), while maintaining good coating pattern and control over the degree of curl in the sheet when dried, comprising the steps of:moving an endless transfer surface sequentially through first, second and third stations,at first station, forming on said transfer surface a smooth continuous film of a first coating mix having a predetermined fluid content and rheology,at the second station, bringing a first side of said paper sheet into contact with said transfer surface and simultaneously subjecting the sheet to pressure against said transfer surface without substantial sheet distortion, so as to promote substantially complete absorption by the sheet of the solvent or dispersion medium of the first coating mix while in engagement with the transfer surface and prior to passage of the sheet and transfer surface through the third statio
