Abstract: Systems and methods for managing network devices include performing clustering operations for network devices based on attributes of the network devices. By comparing the results of subsequent clustering operations, changes in network device attributes can be readily identified and any network devices for which attributes have changed may be subject to further investigation or remedial action (e.g., blocking traffic to/from the network device). Clustering may also be used to conduct an inventory of network devices by identifying groups of network devices that have similar attributes.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing filters within computer networks include obtaining blocklist data that includes blocklist entries for a network. Each of the blocklist entries includes one or more network traffic attributes for identifying traffic to be blocked. In response to receiving the blocklist data, a filter based on a common network traffic attribute shared between at least two of the plurality of blocklist entries is generated. The filter is then deployed to a network device within the network such that the filter may be implemented at the network device to block corresponding traffic.

Abstract: An enclosure and a method for forming an enclosure are disclosed. The enclosure may be formed from metal, such as aluminum, and further include a non-metal portion allowing for transmission and receipt of electromagnetic waves. The non-metal portion may be interlocked to the enclosure and in particular, to a region within the enclosure including a first material having a relatively high strength and stiffness compared to the non-metal portion. Interlocking means may include forming dovetail cuts into the enclosure to receive the non-metal portion, a hole or cavity drilled into the enclosure which includes internal threads, and a rod inserted into the first material to provide a tension to the non-metal portion. Methods of assembling internal components using anodization are also disclosed.

Abstract: A carrier cover positionable over a baby carrier worn by an intended user. The carrier cover includes a jacket attachment for reversibly securing part of a jacket the carrier cover. Also a method of using the carrier cover.

Abstract: Various techniques can be used to evaluate and reduce myopiagenic effects of electronic displays are disclosed. In one example, uncorrected image data corresponding to at least one uncorrected frame is assessed by identifying pixels having a red hue in the uncorrected frame(s). Modified image data is provided based on the uncorrected image data and the assessment. The modified image data corresponds to at least one corrected frame corresponding to the at least one uncorrected frame. Corrected frames are displayed, where one or more red-hued pixels in a corrected frame has a reduced degree of red saturation compared to the corresponding pixel in the uncorrected frame. The degree of red saturation in the red-hued pixels in the corrected frame is reduced based on a respective location of the pixels in the corrected frame.

Abstract: A garment extender including: a body provided with an attachment at each side thereof, each of the attachments defining a channel and a slit leading laterally into the channel. When the attachment is operatively secured to a garment slide fastener of a garment, a gripped portion of one of the stringer tapes of the garment slide fastener is inserted in the slit and the channel receives thereinto teeth that are supported by the stringer tape adjacent the gripped portion.

Abstract: A system and method are presented for detecting and measuring pressure within a region of a body lumen or vessel. The pressure sensing system includes a light source for transmitting light through a pathway containing polarization-maintaining fiber optic wires. A distal portion of the polarization-maintaining fiber optic wire, which is engaged to and extends along a guidewire, includes pressure sensing station(s) made up of fiber Bragg gratings (FBG). The light transmitted to and reflected from the FBGs on the two polarization modes of the polarization-maintaining fiber optic wire can be analyzed to provide one or more pressure values.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine one or more social networking system anniversary events associated with a first user, the anniversary event having a month and a day that is identical to the current month and day. The one or more anniversary events are filtered using filtering criteria. An indication, such as a notification or a promotion, relating to the one or more anniversary events is generated based on satisfaction of the filtering criteria.

Abstract: The current invention relates to a method of isolated polyunsaturated fatty acids containing lipids from a lipids containing biomass.

Abstract: The current invention relates to a method for isolating polyunsaturated fatty acids containing lipids from lipid-containing cells.

Abstract: In particular embodiments, a method includes receiving, from a client device associated with a first user of an online social network, a text query comprising one or more character strings, identifying one or more data objects that match at least a portion of one or more of the character strings, wherein each of the identified data objects is connected to the first user within the online social network, generating one or more recommended queries that each comprise the character strings of the text query and references to one or more of the identified data objects, and sending, to the client device associated with the first user in response to receiving the text query, one or more of the recommended queries for display to the first user.

Abstract: A route viewing system includes a computing system that receives information associated with one or more routes through a network, and identifies the routes that are associated with at least one illicit user computer used by an illicit user. The computing system then obtains a source location of a source address of the routes and a destination location of a destination address of the routes, and displays the routes on a geographical display at the source location of the source address and the destination location of the destination address of each of the routes.

Abstract: An exemplary onsite photo management server located at an event provides a wireless network to couple the server with a network-enabled camera used by a photographer, as well as with a photo kiosk device and a photo printing device located at the event for use by event attendees during the event. The server automatically retrieves, in real time as the photographer photographs the event, photographic content captured by the network-enabled camera. The server also automatically stores the photographic content in accordance with a predefined organizational structure associated with the event. The server provides the photographic content to the photo kiosk device to allow the event attendees to browse, in accordance with the predefined organizational structure, photos captured at the event by the photographer. The server also, on request from an event attendee, provides the photographic content to the photo printing device for printing. Corresponding methods and systems are also described.
