Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems, computer readable media, devices, and computer-implemented methods for providing improved network security by receiving a network packet, applying a filter rule in a first instance of a distributed reputation database to the network packet, determining, using a network interface card with a field programmable gate array, to drop or modify the network packet based on the applying, and transmitting reputation data to a security control center that includes a second instance of the distributed reputation database, where the reputation data includes information corresponding to the network packet that was dropped or modified.

Abstract: This present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing a data plane processing tool chain for processing packets that can use OSI layers 4 and above in the data plane without using a hypervisor. The disclosure has multiple processing capabilities, including: packet filtering, resolving DNS packets, generating packets, packet forwarding, performing DNS look up, time-stamping DNS packets, writing packets to disk, load-balancing, and protecting against DDOS attacks.

Abstract: A stove comprising a frame bounding an area to receive a burner, a heating cavity assembly mounted on the frame and having four side walls and a bottom wall having an opening therein, and a collar mounted in the heating cavity assembly around the opening. Front, rear, and side panels are mounted on the frame to enclose the side walls of the heating cavity assembly. A diffuser plate is mounted on the heating cavity assembly and covers an open top portion thereof, the diffuser plate being configured to receive heated gases rising from the burner and collar, and to distribute the heated gases evenly proximate an upper surface of the diffuser plate. A griddle plate is mounted above the diffuser plate and spaced therefrom, an undersurface of the griddle plate being opposed to the diffuser plate upper surface. The griddle plate provides an upper surface for cooking operations.

Abstract: A housing structure assembly includes a hull and a front wall removably coupled to the hull and configured to simulate a front cover of an air conditioner upon inserting the housing structure assembly into a wall or window opening that is shaped and dimensioned to receive the air conditioner.

Abstract: A contractor certification system employs a survey with targeted questions and interviews, and job site visits, to objectively analyze business and financial practices of a contractor and assess risks involving the contractor's business. A report provided by the contractor certification system to the surety institutions and to the contractor details the business and financial practices, together with the risks, and ranks the contractor's operation in comparison with industry recognized standards. A database maintained by the contractor certification system contains a compilation of business and financial practices and risk factors derived from previously evaluated contractors, together with their performance histories germane to meeting time objectives and project cost goals. A logo generated by the system graphically depicts the contractor's rank. The logo can be used by the contractor in correspondence with prospective customers.

Abstract: Syntheses of steroids such as 3-hydroxy-7?-methyl-21-[2?-methoxy-4?-(diethylaminomethyl)-phenoxy]-19-norpregna-1,3,5(10)triene citrate (“SR 16234”) and analogs thereof are provided, wherein 21-hydroxy-19-norpregna-4-en-3-one serves as a starting material or intermediate. The latter compound may be readily prepared from estrone-3-methyl ether. Certain intermediates in these syntheses also have value as therapeutic agents, for example in the treatment of prostate disorders such as prostatic cancer.
