Abstract: A cybersecurity rule conversion system (“conversion system”) disclosed herein converts IPS/IDS rules from existing formats to target formats in a pipeline that ensures quality of resulting converted rules. First, the conversion system identifies and validates existing rule formats. For rules with validated existing formats, the conversion system maps tokens in the existing format to tokens in the target format and populates a converted rule in the target format. The conversion system then evaluates and tunes patterns in the converted rules for matching range and length. Finally, the conversion system evaluates the converted rules for performance on traffic logs and for quality of patterns and matching ranges of patterns therein, and exports the converted rules to users with indications of performance deficiencies.

Abstract: A multi-stage, dual-paradigm redundancy filter for security ruleset management as disclosed herein efficiently manages growth of a resident security ruleset—the resident security ruleset being the managed security ruleset. In a first stage, the redundancy filter operates according to a “rule matching” paradigm. In a second stage, the redundancy filter operates according to an “attack coverage matching” paradigm. For the first stage, the redundancy rule filter removes those rules in an input ruleset that have a complete or partial rule match in the resident security ruleset. For the second stage, the redundancy filter removes those of the remaining rules of the first stage filtered, input ruleset that match attack coverage of rules in the resident security ruleset. A security system then updates the resident security ruleset based on the rules remaining after the multi-stage, dual-paradigm filtering.

Abstract: A base station may include a base body, a landing pad, and a base station opening and closing structure. The base station opening and closing structure may include an open state and a closed state. In the open state, the base station opening and closing structure may provide a landing space for an aerial vehicle to land on the landing pad, and in the closed state, the base station opening and closing structure may provide an accommodating space to accommodate the aerial vehicle. During a process of the base station opening and closing structure transitioning from the open state to the closed state, the base station opening and closing structure may be configured to propel some blades of the aerial vehicle partially protruding out of the accommodating space to fold or retract so as to accommodate the aerial vehicle within the accommodating space.

Abstract: An image control method includes receiving, by a camera, a photographing instruction transmitted by an image display device. The camera includes a first image sensor and a second image sensor. The method further includes controlling the second image sensor to perform photographing according to the photographing instruction to obtain a display code stream and transmitting the display code stream to the image display device. The photographing instruction is used to instruct the second image sensor to photograph for a partial area of a first image using a focal length to obtain a second image. The first image is obtained by the first image sensor and displayed in a main display window of the image display device. The display code stream includes a code stream corresponding to the second image sensor.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a lampshade structure, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) arm, a UAV, and a movable platform.
