Abstract: The present invention relates to a spacer and a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel with the same. The LCD panel comprises a color filter substrate, a thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the color filter substrate and the thin film transistor array substrate. At least one spacer is disposed between the color filter substrate and the thin film transistor array substrate. Each spacer can comprise a first sub-spacer and a second sub-spacer. Elasticity of the first sub-spacer is smaller than elasticity of the second sub-spacer, and height of the first sub-spacer is smaller than height of the second sub-spacer.

Abstract: Provided herein are compounds or hypochlorous acid probes which can be used as reagents for measuring, detecting and/or screening, directly or indirectly, hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite. Provided also herein are methods that can be used to measure, directly or indirectly, the amount of hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite in chemical samples and biological samples such as cells and tissues in living organisms. Specifically, the methods include the steps of contacting the hypochlorous acid probes disclosed herein with the samples to form one or more fluorescent compounds, and measuring fluorescence properties of the fluorescent compounds. Provided also herein are high-throughput screening fluorescent methods for detecting or screening hypochlorous acid or compounds that can increase or decrease, directly or indirectly, the level of hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite in chemical and biological samples.

Abstract: A binary function database system is provided in which binary functions are extracted from compiled and linked program files and stored in a database as robust abstractions which can be matched with others using one or more function matching heuristics. Such abstraction allows for minor variations in function implementation while still enabling matching with an identical stored function in the database, or with a stored function with a given level of confidence. Metadata associated with each function is also typically generated and stored in the database. In an illustrative example, a structured query language database is utilized that runs on a central database server, and that tracks function names, the program file from which the function is extracted, comments and other associated information as metadata during an analyst's live analysis session to enable known function information that is stored in the database to be applied to binary functions of interest that are disassembled from the program file.

Abstract: A malware analysis system is described that provides information about malware execution history on a client computer and allows automated back-end analysis for faster creation of identification signatures and removal instructions. The malware analysis system collects threat information on client computers and sends the threat information to a back-end analysis component for automated analysis. The back-end analysis component analyzes the threat information by comparing the threat information to information about known threats. The system builds a signature for identifying the threat family and a mitigation script for neutralizing the threat. The system sends the signature and mitigation data to client computers, which use the information to mitigate the threat. Thus, the malware analysis system detects and mitigates threats more quickly than previous systems by reducing the burden on technicians to manually create environments for reproducing the threats and manually analyze the threat behavior.

The winding 20 has three legs, one for each phase and each leg has one coil 22 wound about one of the stator teeth 14. Each leg has a first end A,B,C, arranged to receive electrical power and a second end X,Y,Z, which is connected to the second end of the other legs to form a star connection 24. Selected stator teeth have grooves in a face thereof dividing those teeth into a plurality of stator poles. The motor may be used to drive a fuel pump for an internal combustion engine, typically for a vehicle.

The motor has a wound stator having a plurality of inwardly directed teeth about which a stator winding is wound, and a radially outer surface in contact with an inner surface of the housing. One or more pathways are formed between the inner surface of the housing and the outer surface of the stator, for the flow of fuel there through. Each pathway is formed by an axially extending recess formed in the outer surface of the stator and aligned with a selected tooth of the stator.
