Abstract: Systems for analyzing and controlling cyber events are provided. In some examples, indicator or compromise (IOC) data may be received. The system may parse the data to identify one or more IOC parameters within the IOC data. In some examples, the IOC parameters may be compared to known IOC parameters to determine whether the IOC parameters are known. If not, the newly identified IOC parameters may be stored in a database. The identified IOC parameters may be evaluated to identify one or more linkages associated with the IOC parameters. For instance, each IOC parameters may be evaluated to identify one or more other parameters associated with each parameter. Those linkages may indicate a threat or potential threat. Based on the evaluation, the system may generate, update and/or execute one or more blocks. For instance, access to one or more domain name, email address, or the like, may be locked based on the identified IOC parameters, linkages, and the like.

Abstract: A system for using artificial intelligence to generate a computing network architecture diagram based on user inputs, applicable vulnerability/cyber threat data and internal/external compliance/audit regulation data. In addition, machine-learning techniques may be used that leverage previously implemented computing network architectures. The computing network architecture diagram may be generated absent a baseline diagram or the user inputs may define at least a portion of an initial/baseline network architecture diagram that is modified based on the vulnerability/cyber threat data, the internal/external compliance/audit regulation data and/or the previously implemented computing network architectures. In additional embodiments of the invention, new/emerging vulnerabilities and cyber threats are detected, and in real-time response, adjustments to the computing network infrastructure and determined and implemented.

Abstract: Arrangements for automatically authenticating a user based on a signals-based footprint of the user are provided. In some examples, an authentication device may continuously scan a predefined area surrounding the authentication device. Upon detecting a user device, a determination may be made as to whether the device is detected for at least a threshold amount of time. If so, user data may be requested. In some examples, the user data may be requested from, for example, a mobile device of a user and may include biometric signature data, such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and the like. User response data may be received and compared to pre-stored data and, if the user response data meets or exceeds a threshold confidence level, the user may be automatically authenticated. If not, additional user authentication information, such as a username and password, personal identification number (PIN), or the like, may be requested to authenticate the user.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a hardware processor. The memory stores identification information of a user. The processor receives from a device a request for the identification information of the user and in response to the request, appends a data element to the identification information to produce a protected message. The processor also encrypts the protected message to produce an encrypted message and communicates the encrypted message to the device. The data element executes in response to the encrypted message being decrypted, and the data element encrypts the identification information when the data element executes.

Abstract: A method of controlling a gas mixture for a laser includes receiving as an input one or more of a plurality of concentration values. Each of the concentration values respectively corresponds to a constituent of a plurality of constituents of air. In the method, a blend of the plurality of constituents of air is generated based on the received one or more of the concentration values. The method also includes determining whether the blend of the plurality of constituents of air is within a threshold range for a ratio of the concentration values for the plurality of constituents of air. A flow of the blend of the plurality of constituents of air is controlled to be routed through an output circuit for use as the gas mixture for the laser following a determination that the blend of the plurality of constituents of air is within the threshold range.

Abstract: A system for real-time authenticated obfuscation of electronic data provides real-time visual obfuscation of the data by transforming displayed data into undecipherable data when viewed by an unauthorized user while maintaining access for an authorized user. The system may further provide application-level obfuscation of electronic data via cryptographic keys such that only authorized applications may decrypt the encrypted data. In this way, the system provides secure access control of electronic data within a networked environment.

Abstract: A method of operating a skew detection system, configured for detecting skew in a control surface of one of wings of an aircraft, includes receiving an inboard signal from an inboard sensor and receiving an outboard signal from an outboard sensor. The inboard and outboard sensors have lines of sight intersecting toothed surfaces of gears of the inboard and outboard gears. Inboard distance and outboard distance travelled by the inboard and the outboard tracks respectively are determined using the inboard and outboard signals from the inboard and the outboard sensors. One of the inboard and the outboard distances is compared with a reference value. An alert indicative of an adverse situation is emitted if the one of the inboard and the outboard distances is different than the reference value.

Abstract: Revving an engine may be helpful in various contexts, such as when servicing the vehicle. For example, in some types of services, a cleaning agent may be introduced into the intake and surrounding regions of an engine, and the engine may be revved to reduce a likelihood that the cleaning agent might puddle. In some instances, a device can be positioned within a vehicle interior and can be used to automatically rev the vehicle engine by depressing on the vehicle throttle. In other examples, an engine revving device may send a signal to an electronic-controlled throttle actuator.

Abstract: The invention relates to an MRI apparatus and a method of MRI involving the acquisition of a first and a second MRI image with mutually different orientations between the BO magnetic field and the object to be investigated. For instance, when imaging structures such as a tendon, due to the magic angle effect, this results in a change in image contrast. According to the invention, a coregistration can be performed between the first and the second MRI image. Moreover, the orientation of a structure within the object can be determined on the basis of the different orientations and the image intensity in the first and the second MRI image. The invention further discloses an apparatus for carrying out the method and a method of shimming the BO magnetic field of the apparatus.

Abstract: A two-way communication device with detachable transmitter and method of operation receives and/or sends communication signals. The device includes a receiver portion for receiving communication signals, and a transmitter portion for transmitting communication signals. The receiver and the transmitter may or may not be independently operational when detached. This detachability allows the receiver portion to be carried into secure areas where transmitters are not allowed without losing ability to be contacted. To indicate detachment, the receiver detects that the transmitter is detached via a signal pin. An indicator portion visually indicates whether the transmitter is detached or attached to the receiver. A control unit regulates communication signals with the receiver and transmitter. A user interface unit enables inputting and receiving data for communications. A housing protects the receiver and transmitter.
