Abstract: A sear mechanism for a firearm pivotably mounts a sear body on a sear lever which is pivotably mounted on the firearm frame. An actuator lever is also pivotably mounted on the frame. The actuator lever is pivoted by a trigger bar connected to the firearm's trigger. Pivoting of the actuator lever when the trigger is pulled allows the sear lever to pivot. Pivoting of the sear lever allows the sear body to fall off of a surface on a striker, releasing the striker to discharge the firearm.

Abstract: Systems and devices can include a controller and a command queue to buffer incoming write requests into the device. The controller can receive, from a client across a link, a non-posted write request (e.g., a deferred memory write (DMWr) request) in a transaction layer packet (TLP) to the command queue; determine that the command queue can accept the DMWr request; identify, from the TLP, a successful completion (SC) message that indicates that the DMWr request was accepted into the command queue; and transmit, to the client across the link, the SC message that indicates that the DMWr request was accepted into the command queue. The controller can receive a second DMWr request in a second TLP; determine that the command queue is full; and transmit a memory request retry status (MRS) message to be transmitted to the client in response to the command queue being full.

Abstract: A computer method and system to determine one or more sub-groups of protected network servers for receiving common network filter settings for mitigating Denial of Services (Dos) attacks. Network traffic associated with the plurality of network servers is captured and collated for each of the plurality of network servers. The collated network traffic is then analyzed to determine a profile of one or more network services provided by each of the plurality of network servers. Each of the plurality of network servers is then tagged with one or more network services determined provided by each network server based upon analysis of the collated network traffic. Metadata is then determined from the collated network traffic that is associated with each of the plurality of network servers.

Abstract: An ammunition magazine for a firearm uses a spacer to extend the grip. The spacer is attached to the magazine's tube using a combined fastener and detent mechanism which acts between the magazine's butt plate and floor plate. The butt plate is attached to the magazine tube and the spacer is captured between the butt plate and floor plate.

Abstract: The method and system are provided for monitoring a protected network for strain. The method includes receiving a learned model having clusters of learning requests of learning network traffic observed during non-strain operation of the protected network, observing network traffic, classifying each of the traffic requests with one of the clusters based on fields of the traffic request and fields used for clustering the learning requests, determining an analysis response time for respective traffic requests associated with the classified traffic requests, determining an analysis response time characteristic per cluster based on an analysis response time associated with the respective classified traffic requests classified with the cluster, determining a difference per cluster between the analysis response time and the learning response times associated with the cluster, and notifying a mitigation device when the difference determined for enough of the clusters exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for monitoring a protected network. The method includes, in a scoring phase, receiving a learned model having clusters of learning requests of learning network traffic observed during non-strain operation of the protected network, wherein each cluster has an associated characteristic learning response time. The method further includes receiving a score request to score a network service request of the network traffic, classifying the network service request with one of the clusters by comparing fields of the network service request to fields used for clustering the learning requests with the cluster, calculating a score based on the characteristic learning response times generated for the learned cluster to which the network service request is classified, and adjusting supportive handling of the network service request based on the score.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for managing the cadence (e.g., frequency or rate) that electronic promotion correspondence is sent to a consumer. A system may access a target cadence indicator associated with a consumer that indicates of a target rate for sending electronic promotion correspondence to the consumer. The system may also determine an actual cadence indicator for the consumer over a predetermined period of time and analyze a potential electronic promotion correspondence for sending to the consumer. The system determines whether to send the electronic correspondence to the consumer based on the target cadence indicator, the actual cadence indicator, and the analysis of the electronic promotion correspondence.

Abstract: A computer method and system for detecting denial of service network attacks by analyzing intercepted data packets on a network to determine a user account associated with a preselected target host sought to be accessed via a user account login attempt. Determine if the login attempt exceeds a predetermined login value for previous failed login attempts associated with the user account sought to be accessed. Determine a geographic location associated with the login attempt if determined the login attempt exceeded the predetermined login value. Determine if a prior login attempt to the user account sought to be accessed was successful from the determined geographic location. Authenticate the login attempt to the user account sought to be accessed in the event it was determined a prior successful login attempt was made to the user account from the determined geographic location or no prior login attempts originated from the determined geographic location.

Abstract: A system and method for generating wort utilizing steam injection heating and stratified flow. The system mixes a fine ground grain with water to form a slurry. The slurry is pumped through a steam injection heater to form a mash. The heated mash enters into a stratified vessel that creates a stratified temperature profile from a first end to a second end. The stratified heating vessel allows the mash to flow from the first end to the second end without internal mixing. After retention within the mash coil, the wort is directed to a mash filtration unit. After filtration, the wort enters into a boil kettle and is heated using a second steam injection heater. The boil kettle includes a spray head that directs brewing liquor onto the wort to reduce foam within the boil kettle. Finally, the wort passes through a scraped surface sieve that removes particles from the heated wort.
