Abstract: In one embodiment, an address of a system call table is determined by invoking a first system call from a user-level program running in user space. When the first system call executes, the first system call retrieves the address of the system call table from kernel stack, which that has been populated by the kernel with various data including the address of the system call table. Using the retrieved address to locate the system call table, the system call table is modified to allow interception of calls made to one or more system calls included in the system call table. This allows a scan module to scan data for computer viruses before a system call is allowed to execute and operate on the data, for example.

Abstract: A method for forming a laminated synthetic leather includes engaging a textile carrier onto a carrying roll, extruding one or more materials with an extruder machine into a film, and feeding the film downwardly onto a lamination roll to have the film carried on a portion of an outer peripheral portion of the lamination roll and to have the film to be suitably cooled by the lamination roll. The film and the textile carrier are then compressed together with the rolls, to form the laminated synthetic leather, and to prevent the film from penetrating into the textile carrier to a greater extent, and to form a soft or flexible laminated synthetic leather.

Abstract: A method for producing an environment protective foamed thermoplastic resin polymer comprises using an extruder with a helical rod to be driven to rotate. The extruder has a feeding section, a melting section, a mixing section and a heating-shaping section formed therein. The method includes a plurality of steps, in which thermoplastic resin is heated, melted in the melting section and moved into the mixing section, and hollow expansion balls are fed into the extruder to be evenly mixed with the melted thermoplastic resin. Then the hollow expansion balls are slightly heated and inflated, and moved into the heating-shaping section, and then the balls are heated at foaming temperature, foamed and inflated. After being injected through a nozzle, the melted thermoplastic resin and the hollow balls become a foamed thermoplastic resin polymer with a preset thickness and shape.

Abstract: A colorful air cushion is made of transparent thermoplastic material, and it is a hollow structure that can create a three-dimensional and colorful decorative effect. At appropriate portions of the inner surface of an air chamber of the air cushion are laminated with color films for forming the background color of the air cushion, thereby creating a three-dimensional effect and showing the variation of color components so as to greatly enhance a colorful decorative effect and a visual interest, when the light penetrates the wall thickness of the air cushion.

Abstract: A method for producing an environment protective foamed thermoplastic resin polymer uses an extruder installed inside with a helical rod driven to rotate. The extruder has its interior formed with a feeding section, a melting section, a mixing section and a heating-shaping section. The method includes a plurality of steps, in which thermoplastic resin is heated, melted in the melting section and moved into the mixing section, and hollow expansion balls are fed into the extruder to be evenly mixed with the melted thermoplastic resin.

The magnetic force of the housing members may be offset by the core members when the core members are received in the housing members of different magnetic poles, and may be increased when the core members are received in the housing members of the same magnetic poles, in order to selectively and stably retain the work piece to the machine tool.

Abstract: Plate waves are used to determine the presence of defects within a porous medium, such as a membrane. An acoustic wave can be propagated through a porous medium to create a plate wave within the medium. The plate wave creates fast compression waves and slow compression waves within the medium that relate to the material and structural properties of the medium. The fast compression wave provides information about the total porosity of a medium. While the slow compression wave provides information about the presence of defects in the medium or the types of materials that form the medium.
