Publication number: 20120297488Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards detecting malware or possible malware in an input file by allowing the input file to be opened, and by monitoring for one or more behaviors corresponding to the open file that likely indicate malware. Only certain executable files and/or file types opened thereby may be monitored, with various collected event data used for antimalware purposes when improper behavior is observed. Example behaviors include writing of a file to storage, generation of network traffic, injection of a process, running of script, and/or writing system registry data. Telemetry data and/or a sample of the file may be sent to an antimalware service, and malware remediation may be performed. Data (e.g., the collected events) may be distributed to other nodes for use in antimalware detection, e.g., to block execution of a similar file.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2011Publication date: November 22, 2012Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Vishal Kapoor, Jonathan Mark Keller, Ajith Kumar, Adrian M. Marinescu, Marc E. Seinfeld, Anil Francis Thomas, Michael Sean Jarrett, Joseph J. Johnson, Joseph L. Faulhaber

Patent number: 7066705Abstract: A refuse collection vehicle includes a chassis and a storage container that is detachably mounted on the chassis. The storage container has a rear wall with an opening therein and a sweep panel that is mounted in the rear wall. The sweep panel is movable between an open position which exposes the opening in the rear wall of the container and a closed position which covers the opening in the rear wall of the container. The refuse collection vehicle also includes a rear tailgate assembly that has a hopper which is adapted to receive refuse and a packer assembly which is adapted to cooperate with the sweep panel to move refuse from the hopper of the tailgate assembly into the storage. A method for loading refuse in a storage container and a storage container that is useful in practicing such method are also described.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2004Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: The Heil CompanyInventors: Mark A. Keller, Bobby McKinney, Marcel G. Stragier, Gary Flerchinger, Henry M. Hund, Jr.

Publication number: 20060111044Abstract: A system and method for signal communication. First and second audio signals are wirelessly transmitted a Bluetooth transceiver T over a first channel and a second channel to Bluetooth transceivers T1 and T2, respectively, in accordance with prevailing Bluetooth standards. The transceivers T1 and T2 are respectively comprised by first and second earpieces each fitted within or behind a first ear and a second ear of a person in a manner that is sufficient for the person to hear the first and second audio signals. The combination of the first and second audio signals constitutes a stereo signal. The first and second earpieces are not mechanically connected to each other by a headset or by any mechanical device that is adapted to fit on the head of the person.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2003Publication date: May 25, 2006Inventor: Mark Keller

Publication number: 20050158160Abstract: A body for a refuse collection vehicle includes a frame on which are mounted a hopper compartment and an adjacent storage compartment. The hopper compartment has a pair of opposing sidewalls, a closed forward end, an open rear end and a hopper compartment floor at a first level. The storage compartment also has a forward end that opens into the hopper compartment, a rear end having a tailgate mounted thereon, and a storage compartment floor at a second level. The second level is raised above, or at an elevation higher than, the first level. The refuse collection vehicle body also includes a transition floor between the hopper compartment floor at the first level and the storage compartment floor at the second level, and a crusher panel that is adapted to apply a downwardly directed compressive force to refuse material in the hopper compartment and to sweep said refuse material from the hopper compartment into the storage compartment.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2004Publication date: July 21, 2005Inventors: Gary Johnson, Gary Flerchinger, Henry Hund, Mark Keller

Publication number: 20050019140Abstract: A refuse collection apparatus is adapted to grab and lift a refuse container, dump the contents thereof into a collection bin, and return the container to its original location. The apparatus includes a container grab assembly which includes a pair of opposed grabbing arms that are aligned in spaced relationship and operable by a fluid-operated actuating system to grab and release a container. The apparatus also includes an articulated, moveable arm assembly that is operable by a fluid-operated actuating system through an operating cycle that includes retracted, extended, lifting and dumping positions. The arm assembly includes a base link that is mounted adjacent to the collection bin and an upper link having a first end and a second end. The apparatus also includes a reach link also having a first end and a second end.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2003Publication date: January 27, 2005Inventors: Henry Hund, Mark Keller

Publication number: 20030041596Abstract: The invention comprises a hydraulic system that may be operated at multiple pressure levels and is preferably adapted for use on a refuse truck. More particularly, the preferred embodiment of the invention is intended for use in performing the tasks of lifting refuse containers, dumping the contents of refuse containers, and compacting refuse. Moreover, the pressure level in the hydraulic system may be varied between the multiple maximum pressure levels manually by an operator and/or automatically in response to existing load conditions. Under normal load conditions, the maximum pressure level in the preferred hydraulic system is maintained at or below the lower maximum pressure level of the lower pressure setting of a dual pressure relief valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2001Publication date: March 6, 2003Inventors: Gary Flerchinger, Mark A.
