Abstract: A method for implementing an Internet of Things security appliance is presented. The method may include intercepting a data packet sent from a server to a client computing device. The method may include performing a security check on the data packet using security modules. The method may include determining the data packet is not malicious based on the security check. The method may include determining a shadow tester to test the data packet based on a type associated with the client computing device. The method may include creating a virtualization environment of the client computing device using the shadow tester. The method may include analyzing behaviors associated with the data packet within the virtualization environment using detection modules. The method may include determining the behaviors do not violate a behavior policy associated with the client computing device. The method may include transmitting the data packet to the client computing device.

Abstract: A process of producing a glass includes preparing a glass material including silicates; coating a refractory material on the glass material to form a refractory glass material capable of being resistant to 500-1,200° C.; subjecting the refractory glass material to heat to be deformed; shaping the deformed refractory glass material to form a half-finished product having a curved shape by molding; and cooling the half-finished product to produce a finished product. In one embodiment, the refractory material is insulating. In another embodiment, the refractory material is conductive.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device includes the following steps. A first gate dielectric layer is formed in a first gate trench and a second gate dielectric layer is formed in a second gate trench. A first bottom barrier layer is formed on the first gate dielectric layer and the second gate dielectric layer. A first conductivity type work function layer is formed on the first bottom barrier layer. A first treatment to the first gate dielectric layer and/or a second treatment to the first bottom barrier layer on the first gate dielectric layer are performed before the step of forming the first conductivity type work function layer. The first treatment and the second treatment are used to modify threshold voltages of specific transistors, and thicknesses of work function layers formed subsequently may be modified for increasing the related process window accordingly.

Abstract: Compounds having the formula I, their methods of synthesis, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of certain of them are provided in which the variables have the definitions described herein. Compositions including the compounds having the formula I-A in which the variables have the definitions described herein, and methods of using the compositions for the treatment of certain diseases mediated by the up-regulation of Smo are also disclosed.

Abstract: A malicious driver replacement application is installed on a host computer system and registered as a boot execute application. On notification of a malicious driver detection, the malicious driver replacement application reboots the host computer system and locks the volume of a storage disk containing the malicious driver. The malicious driver is replaced directly on the storage disk with a dummy driver having innocuous code. The malicious driver replacement application reboots the host computer system, and on reboot of the host computer system, the dummy driver is loaded rather than the malicious driver thus preventing the malicious driver from interfering with the standard operating system routines and allowing the malicious driver to be remediated.

Abstract: Disclosed are transgenic fish, and a method of making transgenic fish, which express transgenes in stable and predictable tissue- or developmentally-specific patterns. The transgenic fish contain transgene constructs with homologous expression sequences. Also disclosed are methods of using such transgenic fish. Such expression of transgenes allow the study of developmental processes, the relationship of cell lineages, the assessment of the effect of specific genes and compounds on the development or maintenance of specific tissues or cell lineages, and the maintenance of lines of fish bearing mutant genes.

Abstract: A transmission apparatus includes a frame, a rotating disk fitted on the frame, platforms on the rotating disk, an inner rotating member fitted on the frame, a clutch, and an actuating mechanism for moving the clutch; the platforms have clamping jaws for clamping a work piece; the clutch is joined to the inner rotating member, and can be engaged with and disengaged from a transmission gear rotated with a power source; after one of the platforms is secured to the inner rotating member, the actuating mechanism will exert force to separate the clutch from the transmission gear, and the clamping jaws clamp the work piece, and next the clutch is engaged with the transmission gear; thus, the power source causes rotation of the transmission gear, the clutch, the inner rotating member, and said working platform so as to test whether the work piece is positioned in balanced position.
