  • Patent number: 9721099
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying associations between binary samples, such as e-mail files and their attachments or a document and an executable program associated with the document. In one implementation, the method includes receiving a plurality of binary samples, and extracting metadata from the plurality of binary samples. The metadata for a binary sample from the plurality of binary samples includes a set of attributes of the binary sample. The method further includes identifying a set of associations between the plurality of binary samples based on the extracted metadata. Each association is characterized by at least one attribute the associated binary samples have in common, and each association has a confidence level indicative of a strength of the association. The method also includes identifying associations with a confidence level that exceeds a predefined threshold.

  • Patent number: 8273676
    Abstract: An animal litter such as a clay material is treated to reduce the bulk density thereof by contacting the clay material with an aqueous electrolyte solution and then heating at an elevated temperature. Substantial reductions in bulk density have been achieved without reducing the absorption capacity of the clay granule.

  • Publication number: 20040175456
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a tablet for feeding fish, comprising: fish food; and binding means which binds the fish food into a substantially solid, homogeneous structure; wherein the binding means includes a gas producing mechanism; wherein the gas production begins essentially contemporaneously with placement of the tablet into water; and wherein the gas releases and disperses the fish food from the tablet.
