Abstract: A system for the recovery and management of atmospheric gas is disclosed, such as for use as a vehicle propellant in a vehicle propulsion system. The system can include a compressor configured to compress atmospheric gas and first and second storage tanks configured to store liquefied atmospheric gas from the compressor. The second storage tank can have a heater operable to heat liquefied atmospheric gas therein to convert it to a high pressure gas. The second storage tank includes an outlet duct fluidly coupled to the first storage tank for supplying high pressure gas to the first storage tank.

Abstract: A malware detection system seeking to identify computer viruses, worms, Trojans, banned files and the like acts to determine from the file name, file size and storage location of a computer file being tested, whether that computer file potentially matches a specific known malware free computer file stored within a list of such specific known malware free computer files. If a match occurs indicating that the candidate computer file is potentially the specific known malware free computer file, then this is confirmed by calculating a checksum of the candidate computer file and comparing this against a stored corresponding checksum of the specific known malware free computer file. If these checksums match, then the candidate computer file can be passed as clean without requiring further time consuming malware detection scanning.

Abstract: A computer 2 is booted with a removable physical media 10 which bears a clean non-installed operating system. Network support code is also loaded from the removable physical media 10 and used to establish a connection with a remote computer 6, 8. Malware detection files are then downloaded from the remote computer 6, 8 and used to perform a malware detection operation upon the computer 2. Thus, the removable physical media 10 necessary to perform the clean boot may be distributed in advance of a malware outbreak whilst the downloading from a remote computer 6, 8 of the malware detection files ensures that the most up-to-date versions of these files will be used when the removable physical media 10 is employed to conduct a clean boot and trigger a malware detection operation in a malware outbreak situation.
