Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for an electrical earthing or grounding system to protect electrical systems and structures. Such systems and structures are efficient at dissipating broadband energy. An earthing mix system in contact with a grounding electrode is separated into functional components; a conductive earthing mix which is in contact with an electrical conductor and an impedance transitioning earthing composition which is in contact with the conductivity earthing mix. The conductive earthing mix absorbs, radiates, conducts, and dissipates electrical energy. The impedance transitioning earthing mix acts as a lossy impedance matching media to reduce reflections and improve energy transfer. A conductive slurry mix fills in voids and aids in contact between the other elements.

Abstract: Development-time awareness of production environment dependency injection configuration in a software development or test environment. In a software development or test environment, metadata is retrieved relating to configuration data of injection sources and target injection sites in applications of a configured target production server or a representation of a configured target production server. A configuration data structure is formed that cross-references target injection sites and injectable sources determined from the configuration data, the configuration data structure being associated with the production server and available to the software development or test environment. The configuration data structure is referenced to carry out dependency injection related features.

Abstract: A computer system automatically generates a proposal for network application security policies to be applied on a telecommunications network. The system provides output representing the proposed network application security policies to a user. The user provides input either approving or disapproving of the network application security policies. If the user approves, then the system applies the of the proposed microsegmentation. This process may be repeated for a plurality of hosts and subsets thereof within the same network, and may be repeated over time to modify one or more existing network application security policies. The network application security policies govern inbound and outbound connections to the hosts in the network.
