  • Patent number: 9298920
    Abstract: An improved approach for classifying computer files as malicious (malware) or benign (whiteware) is disclosed. The invention classifies any computer file as malware or whiteware after using Bayes Theorem to evaluate each observable feature of each file with respect to other observable features of the same computer file with reference to statistical information gathered from repositories of known whiteware and malware files.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6264807
    Abstract: A oxygen generation system comprising a plurality of cells arranged in a stack. Each cell is comprised of a BICUVOX electrolyte and a pair of Inconel® electrodes placed in electrical contact with the BICUVOX electrolyte to produce a flow of oxygen therethrough. The BICUVOX electrolyte is comprised of a square thin plate. The electrodes are plates having the same dimensions as the electrolyte. The electrode plates are machined with gas flow channels oriented to separate high purity oxygen gas flow from oxygen-depleted gas flow. The stack is enclosed in a tubular manifold composed of magnesium oxide and has a diameter slightly larger than the diagonal length of the electrolyte and electrode plates. The stack is sealed at its four corners to the inside surface of the manifold creating four separate passages for flow of oxygen-containing gas, high purity oxygen gas, and oxygen-depleted gas.
