Abstract: A method and system for detecting ransomware and repairing data following an attack. The method includes, collecting file statistics for files in a file system, identifying an affected file based on collected file statistics, locking down of access to the file system in response to identifying the affected file, undoing of reconcile processing, repairing the affected files, and unlocking access to the file system. The system includes a computer node, a file system, a plurality of disc storage components, a backup client, a backup client, and a hierarchical storage client. The hierarchical storage client is configured to collect file statistics for files in file system, identify affected files based on collected file statistics for the file, lock down of access to the file system in response to an identified affected file, undo reconcile processing, repair the affected file; and unlock access to the file system.

Abstract: A method for mounting a sealing device between a housing of an air-conditioning installation and a partition wall present in the motor vehicle, includes the following measures (a) arranging the housing and the partition wall relative to one another so that a housing aperture present in the housing and a wall aperture present in the partition wall are positioned adjacently to one another, (b) arranging a sealing device having a frame-shaped sealing body formed as profile part, which in profile is formed substantially V-shaped with a first and second leg, between the two apertures, (c) reducing a distance between the two apertures by moving the housing towards the partition wall until a transition connecting the legs with one another folds over towards the wall aperture or away from the same.

Abstract: An ophthalmic implant has at least one marker element, wherein the at least one marker element is designed to provide information for the machine-based identification and/or characterisation of the ophthalmic implant and information for the machine-based determination of an orientation of the ophthalmic implant. The marker element is arranged in and/or on the ophthalmic implant such that the information for identifying and/or characterising the ophthalmic implant and/or the information for the machine-based determination of the orientation of the ophthalmic implant is intraoperatively and/or postoperatively machine-readable.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for detecting and mitigating ransomware using snapshot-based backups applied to a block-oriented storage device, by performing the following operations: (i) performing, in predetermined time-intervals, snapshot backups of data in a block-oriented storage device; (ii) determining at least one interval malware index value between a last snapshot backup and a next planned snapshot backup, wherein the interval malware index value is indicative of a changed block rate in stored data of storage blocks of the block-oriented storage device; and (iii) in response to determining that the interval malware index value is larger than a predefined interval malware index threshold value, triggering an emergency snapshot.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for laser-based splicing of a glass fiber (1) onto an optical component (3), comprising the following steps: arranging both surfaces to be spliced substantially parallel to each other and at a predefined distance from each other; and aiming a laser beam (4) at the optical component (3). In order to specify an improved method in which the properties of the joining partners are maintained to the greatest extent during splicing, which exhibits high reproducibility and in particular is suitable for splicing joining partners of different cross-sections, the invention proposes that the angle of incidence of the laser beam (4) on the surface of the optical component be between 15° and 45°.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for archiving files of a local file system of a client system in a remote storage system. The local file system and the remote storage system are communicatively coupled via a network. The method comprises executing an archive process on an archive computer system communicatively coupled to the network. The archiving is solely controlled by the archive process. The execution causes the archive computer system to receive a configuration comprising share metadata, descriptive of a file share in the local file system, and a network address of the client system; remotely access the local file system using the configuration; scan the files of the file share to identify candidate files for archiving; and archive the candidate files by copying the candidate files to the remote storage system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an optical fiber coupler, having the following method steps: combining two or more light-guiding fibers (1, 2, 3) to form a fiber bundle; introducing the fiber bundle into a capillary (4); collapsing the capillary (4) onto the fiber bundle surrounded by the capillary. It is the object of the invention to provide an improved method for producing an optical fiber coupler. The method is intended to enable the positioning of the fibers within the capillary to be as precise as possible. At the same time, it should be possible to implement the method with comparatively little effort. To this end, the invention proposes that at least one of the fibers (1, 2, 3) is connected at the end to a guide body (5, 5?) whereof the diameter in the direction transversely to the longitudinal extent of the fiber (1, 2, 3) is larger than the diameter of the fiber (1, 2, 3) and smaller than the internal diameter of the capillary (4).

Abstract: Operating a data processing and storage apparatus to perform continuous backup monitoring for a collection of stored file system objects. In response to changes respective to a number of the file system objects, a set of Data Management Application Program Interface (DMAPI) events is created. For each of the events, accessory file system object information relative to a file system object subject to the change is determined. The events are grouped into an event group and a unique group identifier and an overall group size count are assigned to each of the events included in the event group. The events are sent together with the respective accessory file system object information, the respective group identifier and the respective group size to a number of backup clients registered as applications. The backup clients are to process the events together with the respective accessory file system object information, the respective group identifier and the respective group size into a number of backup requests.

Abstract: The invention relates to a MOPA laser system having at least one laser oscillator (MO), which generates laser radiation at an emission wavelength (?0), and having an optical amplifier (PA) downstream the laser oscillator (MO) in the propagation direction of the laser radiation, which optical amplifier amplifies the laser radiation and thereby spectrally broadens it to a useful bandwidth (??). It is an object of the invention to provide an improved MOPA laser system which is designed for a high power of the amplified laser radiation and which is insensitive to back-reflection. Unavoidable back-reflections should neither affect the output power of the optical amplifier (PA), nor lead to the destruction of the laser oscillator (MO) or other components of the system.
