Patent number: 8621629Abstract: An intrusion detection system for detecting and defeating unauthorized intrusion within a computer network of an infrastructure element of a high value target, the system including a pre-processor configured to receive data from a computer network of an infrastructure element of a high value target and to output filtered data, a grammar applicator configured to apply grammars produced using a grammar based compression and learning algorithm to the filtered data, a decision making device configured to provide a recommendation based on an input from the grammar applicator as to whether the data in the computer network constitutes an unauthorized intrusion, and an emulator in communication with the decision making device configured to expand a sampling of the filtered data using a polymorphic transformation to allow the decision making device to further analyze the sampled data to determine an unauthorized intrusion. A method and a computer software code are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2010Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Scott Charles Evans, Yogesh Kesrinath Potdar, Michael Joseph Dell'Anno, Thomas Stephen Markham, Adam Edgar Klingbeil, Robert Boring, Bruce Gordon Barnett

Patent number: 8521773Abstract: A method and system for web mining and clustering is described. The method includes receiving and dividing input data into a plurality of primitive datasets. Additionally, one or more combinations of the plurality of primitive datasets may be created. Further, a model for each primitive dataset in the plurality of primitive datasets and each of the one or more combinations of the plurality of primitive datasets may be generated. Subsequently, a cost associated with a model corresponding to each primitive dataset in the plurality of primitive datasets, and each of the one or more combinations of the plurality of primitive datasets may be computed. Further, a sum of the costs associated with the models corresponding to each primitive dataset in the plurality of primitive datasets may be compared with the cost associated with each model corresponding to each of the one or more combinations of the plurality of primitive datasets.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2010Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: NBCUniversal Media, LLCInventors: Scott Charles Evans, Abha Moitra, Thomas Stephen Markham, Steven Matt Gustafson

Patent number: 8245302Abstract: A network activity visualization system can include an MDL grammar database adapted to store a plurality of MDL grammars, and a pattern matching module adapted to match a received network activity data set against the MDL grammars by calculating a distance of the network activity data set from each MDL grammar. The system can also include an intelligent icon module adapted to receive the MDL grammars and distances of a network data set from each respective MDL grammar, and adapted to generate intelligent icons based on the MDL grammars and distances. The system can further include a display system adapted to display the intelligent icons so as to provide a visual indication of network security.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2010Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Scott C.

Publication number: 20110246067Abstract: A dynamic routing system includes a data collection module, a static routing module, an orientation module, a learning module, and a route determination module. The data collection module receives real time trip data corresponding to a moving asset from a remote location, and the static routing module determines candidate routes from a source to a destination for the moving asset. The orientation module is configured to gather publically available information associated with candidate routes, and the learning module is configured to generate a learned route database based on the publically available information from the orientation module and the real time trip data from the data collection module. The route determination module determines an optimized route for the moving asset based on the learned route database. The system further includes a communication interface configured to transmit an optimized route signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2010Publication date: October 6, 2011Applicant: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Thomas Stephen Markham, Patricia Denise Mackenzie, Joseph James Salvo, Roman Brusilovsky, Daniel John Messier
