  • Publication number: 20150162734
    Abstract: A cover assembly for an insulator and first and second conductor portions extending therefrom includes first and second coupled hub members defining a central cavity sized and configured to receive the insulator. The first hub member includes a first leg defining a first lengthwise cavity extending from the central cavity and configured to receive the first conductor portion. The second hub member includes a second leg defining a second lengthwise cavity extending from the central cavity and configured to receive the second conductor portion. The first and second hub members are configured to be slidably rotated relative to one another to selectively adjust an angle between the first and second legs.

  • Patent number: 8875289
    Abstract: A server receives from a mobile communication device information about a data object (e.g., application) on the device when the device cannot assess the data object. The server uses the information along with other information stored at the server to assess the data object. Based on the assessment, the device may be permitted to access the data object or the device may not be permitted to access the data object. The other information stored at the server can include data objects known to be bad, data objects known to be good, or both.

  • Patent number: 8752176
    Abstract: A system and method for preventing malware, spyware and other undesirable applications from affecting mobile communication devices uses a server to assist in identifying and removing undesirable applications. When scanning an application, a device transmits information about the application to a server for analysis. The server receives the information, produces a characterization assessment and can also provide a characterization re-assessment for the application, or data object, and transmits the assessment to the device. By performing analysis on a server, the invention allows a device to reduce the battery and performance cost of protecting against undesirable applications. The server transmits notifications to devices that have installed applications that are discovered to be undesirable. The server can accumulate this data and then perform a characterization re-assessment of a data object it has previously assessed to provide an assessment based upon one of trust, distribution and ratings information.

  • Patent number: 8745739
    Abstract: A system and method prevent malware, spyware and other undesirable applications from affecting mobile communication devices, which use a server to assist in identifying and removing undesirable applications. When scanning an application, a device transmits information about the application to a server for analysis. The server receives the information, produces a characterization assessment and can also provide a characterization re-assessment for the application, or data object, and transmits the assessment to the device. Performing analysis on a server reduces the battery and performance cost of protection. The server transmits notifications to devices that have installed applications that are discovered to be undesirable. The server receives data about applications from many devices, using the combined data to minimize false positives and provide comprehensive protection against known and unknown threats.

  • Publication number: 20130318568
    Abstract: A server receives from a mobile communication device application data identifying a data object accessible by the mobile communication device. The server uses at least some of the application data to assess the data object. The application data can include, for example, behavioral data, metadata, parts of the data object, information indicating the data object is installed on the mobile communication device, or combinations of these.

  • Patent number: 8544095
    Abstract: To prevent malware, spyware and other undesirable applications from affecting mobile communication devices (e.g., smartphones, netbooks, and tablets), a device uses a server to assist in identifying and removing undesirable applications. When scanning an application, a device transmits information about the application to a server for analysis. The server receives the information, produces a categorization assessment and can provide a categorization re-assessment, and transmits the assessment to the device. By performing analysis on a server, a device can reduce its battery and performance cost of protecting against undesirable applications. The server transmits notifications to devices that have installed applications that are discovered to be undesirable. The server receives data about applications from many devices, using the combined data to minimize false positives and provide comprehensive protection against known and unknown threats.

  • Patent number: 8533844
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for efficiently gathering information about applications for mobile communication devices (e.g., smartphones, netbooks, and tablets). This disclosure is also directed to a server producing assessments for applications by analyzing data from multiple sources. To gather information, a device sends information about an application to a server, which stores some or all of the information and may request additional information, if necessary. The server collects information from many devices, including devices that have varied configurations and different operating systems, by only collecting the appropriate information from each device. The server gathers the appropriate data to perform in-depth, granular mobile application analysis while minimizing overhead on devices, wireless networks, and the server. The server may collect portions of data from multiple devices, combining them on the server to produce an assessment for an application.

  • Patent number: 7904697
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for executing a Load Register instruction in which the source data of the Load Register instruction is retained in its original physical register while the architected target register is mapped to this same physical target register. In this state the two architected registers alias to one physical register. When the source register of the Load Address instruction is specified as the target address of a subsequent instruction, a free physical register is assigned to the Load Registers source register. And with this assignment the alias is thus broken. Similarly when the target register of the Load Address instruction is the target address of a subsequent instruction, a new physical register is assigned to the Load Registers target address. And with this assignment the alias is thus broken.

  • Patent number: 7890738
    Abstract: A method and logical apparatus for managing processing system resource use for speculative execution reduces the power and performance burden associated with inefficient speculative execution of program instructions. A measure of the efficiency of speculative execution is used to reduce resources allocated to a thread while the speculation efficiency is low. The resource control applied may be the number of instruction fetches allocated to the thread or the number of execution time slices. Alternatively, or in combination, the size of a prefetch instruction storage allocated to the thread may be limited. The control condition may be comparison of the number of correct or incorrect speculations to a threshold, comparison of the number of correct to incorrect speculations, or a more complex evaluator such as the size of a ratio of incorrect to total speculations.

  • Publication number: 20100222273
    Abstract: This invention provides modified, insecticidal Cry35 proteins with enhanced properties as compared to wild-type Cry35 proteins. The modifications to these proteins were based in part on analysis of the atomic coordinates and three-dimensional (3D) structure of the ˜45 kDa 149B1 protein and other proteins in the Cry35 class. The subject invention also includes polynucleotides that encode these modified proteins, and transgenic plants that produce these modified proteins. This invention further provides methods of controlling plant pests, including rootworms, with these modified proteins. The modified proteins of the subject invention include chimeric toxins involving exchanged segments, domains, and motifs as discussed herein. The subject invention also provides methods of modifying Cry35 proteins.
