Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an applicator for an adhesive primer. The applicator includes a tank configured to hold the adhesive primer. The applicator also includes a peristaltic pump, having an inlet and an outlet, and a spray nozzle. A first conduit extends from an interior of the tank to the inlet of the peristaltic pump, and a second conduit extends from an outlet of the peristaltic pump to the spray nozzle. Embodiments of the present disclosure also relate to a method of applying adhesive primer to a road surface using the applicator. In the method, the adhesive primer is pumped from the tank containing the adhesive primer through the peristaltic pump to the spray nozzle. Further, the adhesive primer is sprayed from the spray nozzle onto the road surface while the applicator moves across the road surface.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for behavior-based automated malware analysis and classification. Aspects relate to platforms and techniques which access a set of samples of malware, and extract or capture a set of low-level behavioral artifacts produced by those samples. The low-level artifacts can be used to organize or identify a set of features, based upon which the sample can be classified and/or clustered into different labels, groups, or categories. The artifacts and/or features can be analyzed by one or more selectable algorithms, whose accuracy, efficiency, and other characteristics can be compared to one another for purposes of performing a classification or clustering task. The algorithm(s) can be selected by a user to achieve desired run times, accuracy levels, and/or other effects.

Abstract: This is a security and identification system designed to obtain improved images for use by real-time facial recognition and identification systems for screening individuals passing through secure entry or checkpoints such as airport passenger terminals, government offices, and other secure locations. The system detects the presence of a subject at the checkpoint, interactively instructs the subject to stop and move into position for proper identification and recognition, analyzes the facial features of the subject as (s)he passes through the checkpoint, and compares the features of the subject with those in a database. The system then generates different signals depending upon whether or not the subject is recognized. In one aspect of the invention, different methods and apparatus are provided for compensating for low ambient light so as to improve the quality of the facial image of the subject that is obtained.
