Abstract: The technology disclosed herein enables detection of domain hijacking when a DNS resolver is performing a DNS lookup. In a particular embodiment, a method provides, in response to a request to resolve a network address corresponding to a domain name, determining that a nameserver for the domain name is suspect based on satisfaction of nameserver criteria associated with the domain name. The method further includes preventing the nameserver from being used to resolve the request in response to determining that the nameserver is suspect.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a storage system, in particular an automatic (and modular) storage and retrieval system, comprising a central column, extending in a substantial vertical direction; a set of at least six storage locations, each of the storage locations extending from the column in a substantial horizontal direction at the same vertical level; wherein the at least six of the storage locations are pair-wise arranged on opposite sides of the column; and wherein the column is substantially polygonal, wherein at least one of the storage locations at a vertical level extend from one of the sides of the polygonal column.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage traffic rules in association with fully qualified domain names (FQDNs). In one implementation, a domain name system (DNS) security service obtains a FQDN associated with a DNS request by a computing device. The DNS security service determines a first score for the FQDN based on trust factors associated with the FQDN and determines whether the first score satisfies one or more criteria. When the first score satisfies the one or more criteria, the DNS security service evaluates host posture information associated with an IP address in the DNS response for the FQDN, updates the first score to a second score based on the host posture information, and determines a traffic rule for the FQDN based on the second score.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage server connection resets based on domain name server (DNS) information. In one implementation, a firewall may receive a reverse DNS request from a computing system and communicate a request to a DNS security service to determine whether a destination associated with the reverse DNS request is malicious. The firewall further receives a response from the DNS security service that indicates that the destination is malicious and, when the response indicates that the destination is malicious, communicates a reset command to the destination to reset a connection between the destination and the computing system.

Abstract: Metrology measurements are performed on substrates that have been subjected to lithographic processing. Model parameters are calculated by fitting the measurements to an extended high-order substrate model defined using a combination of basis functions that include an edge basis function related to a substrate edge. A radial edge basis function may be expressed in terms of distance from a substrate edge. The edge basis function may, for example, be an exponential decay function or a rational function. Lithographic processing of a subsequent substrate is controlled using the calculated high-order substrate model parameters, in combination with low-order substrate model parameters obtained by fitting inline measurements to a low order model.

Abstract: A laser system includes a laser generation element and a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal generator that uses a clock to generate a control signal having a period based on the clock frequency and includes a pulse width between a rising edge and a falling edge. The system also includes a switch mode power supply controlled by the control signal output by the PWM signal generator for providing power to the laser generation element based on the control signal. Also, the system includes a signal modification circuit that selectively delays the rising edge of each period of the control signal by one of one or more selectable durations thereby reducing the pulse width by a quantity, wherein the quantity is smaller than a minimum increment amount that the pulse width is able to change based on the clock frequency.
