  • Publication number: 20240346139
    Abstract: There is disclosed in one example a ransomware mitigation engine, including: a processor; a convolutional neural network configured to provide file type identification (FTI) services including: identifying an access operation of a file as a write to the file or newly creating the file; computing a byte correlation factor for the file; classifying the file as belonging to a file type; determining with a screening confidence that the file type is correct for the file; determining that the screening confidence is below a screening confidence threshold; and circuitry and logic to provide heuristic analysis including: receiving notification that the confidence is below the confidence threshold; performing a statistical analysis of the file to determine a difference between an expected value and a computed value; determining from the difference, with a detection confidence, that the file has been compromised; and identifying the file as having been compromised by a ransomware attack.

  • Patent number: 12028763
    Abstract: Methods and systems for selecting a primary component carrier for use in new radio (NR) carrier aggregation are described. A load of a first Dynamic Shared Spectrum (DSS) component carrier is monitored. When the load of the first DSS component carrier reaches a threshold value, an identification of one or more NR user equipment that are assigned to use the first DSS component carrier as a primary component carrier for carrier aggregation is made. The one or more NR user equipment are handed over from the first component carrier to a second component carrier for use as a primary component carrier for the one or more NR user equipment. Methods and systems for selecting a secondary component carrier for use in NR carrier aggregation are also described. A load of a first DSS component carrier is monitored, wherein the carrier is assigned as the secondary component carrier for one or more NR user equipment. A determination is made that the load of the first DSS component carrier has reached a threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11858465
    Abstract: A console assembly for a vehicle includes a compartment side wall. The compartment side wall extends from a compartment floor to an upper rim of the compartment side wall. The console assembly includes a receptacle side wall that extends upward from a receptacle floor of the console assembly to define a receptacle. The console assembly further includes a panel that has opposite first and second sides. The panel is pivotable between a first position and a second position. In the first position of the panel, the panel, the compartment side wall, and the compartment floor define a compartment of the console assembly, and the first side of the panel faces the compartment. In the second position, the panel covers the receptacle of the console assembly and a surface of the first side of the panel is substantially planar with a surface of the compartment floor.

  • Publication number: 20130068249
    Abstract: A process is disclosed in which hot rolled or cold rolled steel articles, such as tube, pipe, plate and sheet are cleaned of mill scale, surface rust and oils. The cleaning compositions compromise a solution mixture of diluted hydrochloric acid, a non-anionic surfactant, a non-ionic, non denaturing detergent, sodium carbonate, a water conditioner and water and a drying compound of an aqueous alcohol solution. The solutions are used independently within the 5 step process that cleans, rinses and removes all moisture from the steel to provide a surface that optimizes subsequent manufacturing a fabrication process including welding, laser cutting and the coating process.
