Abstract: A distribution tray for a humidifier includes a surface, and a flow divider disposed on the surface, where the flow divider is configured to receive a flow of water. The distribution tray also includes a plurality of channels, where each channel within the plurality of channels is fluidly coupled to the flow divider and is configured to receive water from the flow divider. Each channel of the plurality of channels defines a flow path, and each flow path has a varying slope along a length of each channel.

Abstract: An intrusion detection system (IDS) that uses application monitors for detecting application-based attacks against computer systems. The IDS implements application monitors in the form of a software program to learn and monitor the behavior of system programs in order to detect attacks against computer hosts. The application monitors implement machine learning algorithms to provide a mechanism for learning from previously observed behavior in order to recognize future attacks that it has not seen before. The application monitors include temporal locality algorithms to increased the accuracy of the IDS. The IDS of the present invention may comprise a string-matching program, a neural network, or a time series prediction algorithm for learning normal application behavior and for detecting anomalies.

Abstract: A fluidic processor includes a substrate that receives a fluid and an optical surface-tension gradient inducer. The optical surface-tension gradient inducer is adapted to optically induce a gradient in surface tension of a fluid received by the substrate. Controlling surface tension gradients in a fluid provides a way of manipulating the fluid.
