Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a deformation device for a motor vehicle. The deformation device comprises a support structure and a charging module which is fixed to the support structure at two mutually spaced connecting elements. The support structure comprises a target bend region which is arranged between the at least two connecting elements. The support structure is designed to bend, at least in regions, at the target bend region in the event of accident-related deformation of said support structure, and as a result press onto the charging module at the target bend region, and release a first connection between the charging module and the support structure formed via a first connecting element of the at least two connecting elements. A further aspect of the present disclosure relates to a motor vehicle having the deformation device.

Abstract: A semiautomatic pistol has a takedown lever which also acts as an ejector. The takedown lever includes an ejector head and a finger. The finger is engageable with a sear when the takedown lever is rotated by depressing the ejector head through the ejection port when the slide is out of battery. This rotates the sear so that the slide may be removed by sliding it toward the muzzle end of the pistol.

Abstract: A computer method and system for determining common network security filter settings for one or more clusters of network servers. Network traffic samples are captured which are associated with a plurality of network servers. The captured network traffic samples are collated with regards to each of the plurality of network servers. The collated network traffic is analyzed for each of the plurality of network servers for determining suggested network security filter settings for each network server. One or more clusters of network servers are determined contingent upon the determined suggested network security filter settings for each of the plurality of network servers. Common network security group filter settings are determined for each determined cluster of network servers.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) method includes generating a first musical interaction behavioral model. The first musical interaction behavioral model causes an interactive electronic device to perform a first set of musical operations and a first set of motional operations. The AI method further includes receiving user inputs received in response to the performance of the first set of musical operations and the first set of motional operations and determining a user learning progression level based on the user inputs. In response to determining that the user learning progression level is above a threshold, the AI method includes generating a second musical interaction behavioral model. The second musical interaction behavioral model causes the interactive electronic device to perform a second set of musical operations and a second set of motional operations. The AI method further includes performing the second set of musical operations and the second set of motional operations.

Abstract: A method of monitoring network traffic for cryptojacking activity is provided. A request is received from a protected host. It is determined whether the request is a cryptocurrency request based on whether the request uses a protocol specified for requests belonging to the cryptocurrency communication. In response to a determination that that the request is a cryptocurrency request for the cryptocurrency, a second request is submitted to a destination indicated by the request, wherein the second request is formatted as a cryptocurrency request for the cryptocurrency. A determination is made whether a reply to the second request from the destination is a cryptocurrency response for the cryptocurrency based on whether the response uses a protocol specified for a response that belongs to communication associated with the cryptocurrency.
