  • Publication number: 20240179177
    Abstract: A method for creating a training playbook to train a potential target of social engineering against an attack by an adversarial actor includes generating a training playbook based on a plurality of conversational patterns from a respective plurality of dialogs between non-human synthetic persona with the adversarial actor. A given conversational pattern of the plurality of conversational patterns comprises one or more dialog interaction elements utilized by the adversarial actor during a respective dialog of the plurality of dialogs. The method also includes configuring a dialog model for a second synthetic persona to engage in a training dialog with a target trainee to train the target trainee to detect, avoid and/or mitigate a future attack by the adversarial actor. The dialog model is configured to emulate the future attack by the adversarial actor by utilizing the training playbook. The method additionally includes outputting the training playbook.

  • Publication number: 20120089933
    Abstract: The present technology includes a digital content authoring tool for authoring digital content without the need to understand or access computer code. The present technology further includes creating digital content that can be modified with animation of assets. Each animation can be controlled by an action, and the actions can be tied to a time axis for execution. By relating actions to a time axis, animations based on the actions can be more easily viewed and reviewed. In some embodiments, the system can clear a page of all but a selected asset so that it may be more easily worked with.

  • Patent number: 6243533
    Abstract: A multiple hair setting roller heating and facial steaming apparatus includes a housing, an enclosure, a heating module, a heating element, at least one outlet and a hood. The housing defines a receptacle for receiving and holding a quantity of a desired liquid and defines a platform. The enclosure has an open bottom and defines an interior chamber. The enclosure is mounted to and extends downwardly from the platform of the housing and into the receptacle of the housing below the surface of the quantity of liquid in the receptacle such that air is captured in the interior chamber of the enclosure. The heating module is mounted to the platform of the housing and extends downwardly therefrom within the interior chamber of the enclosure. The heating module has a passage and an inlet extending below the open bottom of the enclosure so as to provide direct flow communication of liquid from the receptacle of the housing to the passage of the heating module bypassing the interior chamber of the enclosure.

  • Patent number: 6035099
    Abstract: A multiple hair setting roller heating apparatus includes a housing having a heating chamber defined therein, a heat generating source disposed in the housing, and a plurality of height-adjustable elongated holder members in the form of hollow posts supported upright in the heating chamber of the housing. The height-adjustable holder members are adjustably movable between lowered and raised positions for holding different numbers and sizes of hair setting rollers at different elevations to thereby selectively change the roller holding capacity of the heating chamber. The housing includes an enclosure, a top cover removably fitted on an open top of the enclosure for enclosing the heating chamber of the housing, and a flat platform disposed in the housing enclosure and supporting the height-adjustable holder members in the heating chamber. The enclosure also is adapted to hold a quantity of fluid, such as water, in communication with the heating chamber.

  • Patent number: 5710861
    Abstract: A multiple hair setting roller heating apparatus includes a telescopic enclosure open at its top and having a heating chamber defined therein and a heating element disposed within the heating chamber. The enclosure is movable telescopically between an extended condition in which the heating chamber has a first volume for containing a first plurality of rollers and a contracted condition in which the heating chamber has a second volume smaller than the first volume for containing a second plurality of rollers smaller than the first plurality of rollers. The telescopic enclosure is adapted to hold a quantity of water such that when the heating element is activated, the water boils producing steam and the rollers disposed within the heating chamber are heated simultaneously and generally evenly.
