Abstract: A method identifies and prioritizes anomalies in received monitoring logs from an endpoint log source. One or more processors identify anomalies in the monitoring logs by applying a plurality of disparate types of anomaly detection algorithms to the monitoring logs, and then determine a likelihood that the identified anomalies are anomalous based on outputs of the plurality of disparate types of anomaly detection algorithms. The processor(s) then prioritize the monitoring logs based on the likelihood that the identified anomalies are actually anomalous, and send prioritized monitoring logs that exceed a priority level to a security information and event management system (SIEM).

Abstract: A sensor system runs real-time software on the processor to receive and log temperature and humidity data from the sensors. A processor processes the data, reformats, if necessary, the data packaged with GPS information provided by the centralized sensor control system, transmits the packaged data (including error checking) to a designated receiver, and provides a diagnostic interface for displaying logged data and status information. This data is time stamped and transmitted to the centralized sensor control system across the external control/data interface.

Abstract: A portable electronic book designed to receive data from a removably insertable media and provide that data to a user in a graphical or audio format. The portable electronic book includes a housing that has mounted therein display screens and audio output devices that function to provide data to a user. The portable electronic book further includes conventional computer electronics that function to receive data from a data source in a first language and subsequently translate that data into a second language and provide the data to a user either independently or in conjunction in a text or audio format. The portable electronic book also includes an output device for interfacing with peripheral devices such as a printer. Releasable secured within the housing is a power source such as a lithium ion battery.

Abstract: An isolation gasket for use between joined pieces in a flow line includes, for example, a flat annular metal plate having an opening formed therethrough with a sheet of dielectric material laminated to its opposing side surfaces and a groove formed on the opposing side surfaces which penetrates through the dielectric material and into the metal plate. Each groove extends completely around the opening in the gasket, and a layer of insulating material, as well as a seal element, is disposed in each of the grooves. An isolation system between joined flange pieces utilizes the isolation gasket in combination, for example, with an insulating sleeve receivable in an aligned bore of each of the joined flange pieces, an elongate metal fastener receivable in the insulating sleeve for connecting the joined flange pieces with the isolation gasket therebetween.

Abstract: A seal device adapted for placement between two flanges is provided comprising an annular seal member having two faces, and inner radius defining a central aperture, and an outer radius defining the radially outer edge of the seal member, a radially inner channel formed between said faces and being open to said central aperture, and a radially outer groove open to the radially outer edge of said seal member, a seal retainer surrounding said seal member and located radially outward therefrom, said seal retainer being sized to engage and extend at least partially into the radially outer groove on said seal member, and a resilient member disposed within said annular seal member between a radially innermost portion of said seal retainer and a radially innermost portion of said groove, wherein said radially innermost portion of said seal retainer contacts and supplies a force to said resilient member.

Abstract: A filtration and backwash system for a water source such as a swimming pool is provided including a fluid source, a pump, a filter and a specially designed five-port valve which is easily adaptable for automatic use in the filtration mode and in the backwash mode. The valve uses a rotatable deflector plate which is positioned to divert the fluid in one direction in the valve for the filtration process and is positioned to divert the fluid in the other direction in the valve for the backwash process. An automatic timing device is also provided and is particularly suitable for use in conjunction with the valve whereby no manual intervention or electronic means is needed to change the valve from the filtering mode to the backwash mode or vice versa. The timing device automatically senses the pressure buildup in the filtration system due to accumulation of debris in the filter and automatically changes the valve from the filtration mode to backwash mode when a predetermined system pressure is exceeded.
