  • Patent number: 11955297
    Abstract: A keyboard includes a base plate and a backlight module. The base plate has a short axis direction and a long axis direction, and the base plate includes at least one long slit. The long slit is disposed on the base plate along the short axis direction. The backlight module is disposed on the base plate. The backlight module includes a shielding sheet, a light guide plate and a reflecting sheet. An upper surface of the shielding sheet faces toward the base plate. The light guide plate is disposed on a lower surface of the shielding sheet. The reflecting sheet is disposed below the light guide plate. The reflecting sheet includes a plurality of first slits. When the length of the base plate is adjusted along the long axis direction, the reflective sheet is adjusted and moved along with the base plate by expansion of the first slits.

  • Patent number: 9152791
    Abstract: Lists of keywords by type are collected that are associated with fake antivirus software. One more rules are created including the keywords that likely indicate fake antivirus software. The keywords and rules are stored in a local database on a computer. Each executing process of a computer is scanned using the rules. A match indicates that the scanned process is likely fake antivirus software. A check is then performed to determine if the scanned process is actually legitimate antivirus software (using a digital certificate, a white list, or a call to a function). If the check fails a determination is made that the identified process is fake antivirus software. The process may then be displayed, cleaned, quarantined, or permanently removed from the computer. The cursor may be dragged into the window of an executing process in order to selectively scan that process only. Or, any number of executing processes may be selected to be scanned by the rules.
