  • Patent number: 7984175
    Abstract: Content leaving a local network can be captured and indexed so that queries can be performed on the captured data. In one embodiment, the present invention comprises an apparatus that connects to a network. In one embodiment, this apparatus includes a network interface module to connect the apparatus to a network, a packet capture module to intercept packets being transmitted on the network, an object assembly module to reconstruct objects being transmitted on the network from the intercepted packets, an object classification module to determine the content in the reconstructed objects, and an object store module to store the objects. This apparatus can also have a user interface to enable a user to search objects stored in the object store module.

  • Patent number: 7899828
    Abstract: Objects captured over a network by a capture system can be indexed to provide enhanced search and content analysis capabilities. In one embodiment the objects can be indexed using a data structure having a source address field to indicate an origination address of the object, a destination address field to indicate a destination address of the object, a source port field to indicate an origination port of the object, a destination port field to indicate a destination port of the object, a content field to indicate a content type from a plurality of content types identifying a type of content contained in the object, and a time field to indicate when the object was captured. The data structure may also store a cryptographic signature of the object to ensure the object is not altered after capture.

  • Publication number: 20100268959
    Abstract: Objects can be extracted from data flows captured by a capture device. Each captured object can then be classified according to content. Meta-data about captured objects can be stored in a tag. In one embodiment, the present invention includes receiving a request to present a previously captured object to a user, accessing a tag associated with the requested object, the tag containing metadata related to the object, the metadata including an object signature, and verifying that the object has not been altered since capture using the object signature before presenting the object to the user.

  • Publication number: 20100068048
    Abstract: An airfoil for a stator vane having an uncoated profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in Table I is provided. The profile is carried only to three decimal places wherein Z is a distance from a platform on which the airfoil is mounted and X and Y are coordinates defining the profile at each distance Z from the platform.

  • Publication number: 20080127355
    Abstract: In an embodiment of isolation environment-based information access, programs—including operating systems and applications—running on a computing-based device can be isolated in an environment such as a virtual machine. Information including commands and/or data transmitted between the computing-based device and the program(s) being run, as well as information associated with the program(s) and the computing-based device, is accessed without being detected by the program(s). In one implementation, the information includes state information as well as commands and/or data—including sensitive information, such as usernames and passwords. In another implementation, the information can be used to secretly access the program(s).

  • Publication number: 20070226504
    Abstract: A document accessible over a network can be registered. A registered document, and the content contained therein, is not transmitted undetected over and off of the network. Signatures for registered documents are compared to signatures of objects being transmitted on the network to determine if the objects contain registered content.

  • Patent number: 7005994
    Abstract: A smart alarm system determines when fire, carbon monoxide, or both are present in a specific area and responds accordingly. If fire is detected, alarms are activated, emergency services are notified, and ventilation, namely vents and fans, is cut off in the specific area where the hazard is detected. If carbon monoxide is detected, alarms are activated, emergency services are notified, and ventilation is increased by opening vents and activating exhaust fans to dissipate the gas from the area containing the gas. In the event both are detected, the system will keep the ventilation cut off to prevent the spread of fire.

  • Patent number: 4094227
    Abstract: An opposed piston fluid motor having a pair of angularly related cylinders rigidly joined at adjacent ends in a common plane is mounted above a base with the common plane normal to the base and the cylinders inclined downwardly from the common plane toward the base in the manner of an inverted V. A crankshaft is rotatably supported above the base with its axis parallel to the base and lying in the common plane below the cylinders. A piston is reciprocably mounted in each cylinder, and an expansible working chamber is provided within the cylinders between the pistons. Working fluid is supplied to the working chamber through a fluid port located at the apex of the cylinders under the control of a rotary motor control valve driven by the crankshaft. The crankshaft has a pair of cranks which are displaced 180.degree. apart. Each piston is connected to a different one of the cranks by a piston rod and a connecting rod.
