Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for centralized containerized deployment of network traffic sensors to network sensor hosts for deep packet inspection (DPI) that supports various other cybersecurity operations. A network sensor package containing a pre-configured network sensor container is received by a network sensor host from a network sensor deployment server. Installation of the network sensor package on the network sensor host causes execution of the network sensor container that further causes deployment of an on-premise network sensor along with a network sensor management system, a DPI system, and an intrusion detection/prevention (IDS/IPS) system. The configurable on-premise network sensor is deployed on multiple operating system distributions of the network sensor host and generates actionable network metadata using DPI techniques for optimized log search and management and improved intrusion detection and response (IDR) operations.

Abstract: A flow control insert (102) for a dispensing closure is provided. The insert has a plurality of dispensing slits (that define petals. (120,122,124,126). The petals are formed in an open position and are closed upon assembly of the insert into a dispensing closure.

Abstract: A device for retaining a self-closing valve in a closure is provided. The device comprises a body for receiving a self-closing valve and having a crimping flange capable of being bent from an uncrimped position to a crimped position so as to retain the valve in the device. The body is receivable into a closure with the valve retained. The crimping flange has a length, for instance, generally within a range of 0.5 mm and 4.0 mm.

Abstract: A self-piercing closure (15) for a container of the type having a laminar closing member, the closure (15) comprising a closure body and having a piercing member (35) for piercing a closing member in use, in which the piercing member (35) comprises a depending skirt (36), and in which the closure further comprising a self-closing valve sub-assembly (50) having a retaining member which retains a self-closing valve, the sub-assembly being located within the piercing member, whereby flowable media can be dispensed from a container through the self-closing valve following piercing of the closing member in use.

Abstract: A method and system for controlled production of security documents, especially banknotes, wherein the security documents are subjected to a plurality of successive printing and processing operations on a plurality of processing stations. At least one production order is defined that may be subdivided into a plurality of production loads each being assigned a machine-readable load identifier. Selected processing stations are assigned to process the production order according to the production workflow. Each production load is selectively processed through the processing stations depending on the determined production workflow of the corresponding production order defined for each production load, whereby each production load is first subjected to a load acceptance procedure based on its machine-readable load identifier before being authorized to be processed on a selected processing station among the available processing stations.

Abstract: A child-resistant, squeeze-and-turn closure for a container is provided. The closure comprises a body having a side skirt and locking means carried on or by the skirt for releasably locking the closure on to the container. The closure further comprises one or more regions of reduced stiffness in the vicinity of the locking means.

Abstract: There is described a method for controlled production of security documents, especially banknotes, wherein said security documents are subjected to a plurality of successive printing and processing operations (20.1, 20.2,) on a plurality of processing stations. The method comprises the steps 5 of: (i) providing a computer network comprising a central server station (10) coupled via a data network (15) to a plurality of local computer stations (25.1, 25.2, 26.1, 26.2,), one local computer station (25.1, 25.2,) being operatively coupled to each processing station (20.1, 20.2,); 10 (ii) defining at least one production order, which production order involves the production of a desired volume of security documents according to a defined production workflow, this production order being subdivided into a plurality of production loads (30, 30*, 30**,) each being assigned a machine-readable load identifier (35); 15 (iii) assigning selected processing stations among available processing stations (20.1, 20.

Abstract: This invention presents methods of increasing intestinal motility rates in order to decrease intestinal absorption of cholesterol. Furthermore, this invention presents methods of modulating intestinal motility in order to influence positively the amount of drug or nutrient absorption from the intestine, especially of hydrophobic drugs or nutrients. The instant methods comprise modulating the rate of intestinal motility through the use of agonists and/or antagonists of the cholecystokinin-1 receptor.

Abstract: A data storage device is provided in which encoded binary machine-readable, digital hierarchical data may be stored. The data is represented by X-nary characters in a matrix. Two different hierarchical 2-D barcodes may be superimposed to increase the data storage capacity. The device is integrated in a system having a scanner, a identifying characteristic reader, a computer, a comparator, a connection device, and a display, all of which being managed by a computer operably connected therebetween. The scanner (a) reads a portable identification carrier onto which is encoded identifying characteristic data of at least one person; (b) sends such identification data to the computer for verification of authenticity of the carrier and (c) extracts a identifying characteristic of a certain identifying characteristic parameter from the identifying characteristic data encoded on the carrier.
