Publication number: 20250117482Abstract: An analyzer module determines whether a file under analysis is likely malicious or not malicious. A transformation module analyzes the file under analysis in order i) to generate a representation of the file under analysis that includes a simplified summary on information in and behavioral properties about the file under analysis and iii) then to feed the representation of the file under analysis into the LLM. The LLM is trained with MLM to create a semantic understanding of the file that creates a depiction of the file that retains multiple aspects of the information in and behavioral properties about the file as an embedding, in a space that allows the analyzer module to determine whether the file is likely malicious or not malicious via how closely the file under analysis as an embedding is related to a known malicious file or a known not malicious file with similar information and behavioral properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2024Publication date: April 10, 2025Inventors: Timothy Bazalgette, Jake Lal, Dickon Humphrey, Philip Sellars, Andrés Curto Martín

Patent number: 8762886Abstract: An approach is provided that receives a gesture from a user with the gesture being directed at a graphical user interface element. The gesture is received by the user at a touch-enabled display screen. Emulated physics properties are retrieved that correspond to the selected graphical user interface element. The system detects a speed and a direction from the received gesture and, based on this information, determines an initial trajectory of the selected graphical user interface element. The initial trajectory is adjusted based on the retrieved emulated physics properties with the movement of the element being rendered on the display screen based upon the adjusted trajectory.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2009Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Matthew P. Lietzke, Eric Edward Dudkowski, Timothy Humphrey, Howard Locker, Jeffrey E. Skinner, Adam Miles Smith, Aaron Michael Stewart, Russell Speight VanBlon

Patent number: 8512893Abstract: The invention described herein includes a method and apparatus comprising a plurality of battery cells electrically coupled to produce at least one voltage at a terminal, wherein the plurality of battery cells includes a plurality of junction areas. Each junction area comprises two battery cells longitudinally arranged such that an end of one battery cell faces an end of another battery cell. In a majority of the junction areas, the venting end of one battery cell does not face the non-venting end of the other battery cell.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2008Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Lenovo (Sinapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Jeremy Robert Carlson, Larry Glenn Estes, Joseph Anthony Holung, Timothy Humphrey, Tin-Lup Wong, Bouziane Yebka

Patent number: 8481186Abstract: The provision of a mode in silver zinc batteries where a user can access extra capacity as an emergency reserve for times when extra capacity is needed. While this temporarily increases capacity, it does not detrimentally affect cycle life over the longer term, and it permits a silver zinc battery to essentially mimic the long term capacity and cycle life characteristics of a lithium ion battery while still affording inherent advantages associated with silver zinc batteries. In a variant embodiment, this ability to temporarily increase capacity is optimally employed at the end of a battery life cycle in a controlled “roll-off” that accords additional cycles of battery service life. In another variant embodiment, the general capability to control capacity is employed to gradually decrease the available capacity of a battery over the life of the battery, to thereby extend the battery service life.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2008Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Philip J. Jakes, Daryl Cromer, Tin-Lup Wong, Jeremy R. Carlson, Mark E. Cohen, Timothy Humphrey

Patent number: 8263242Abstract: The provision of improved venting in battery cells by way of better preventing pressure buildup in the cells. Via different variants of the present invention, the following advantages are achieved: Gas can escape from the cell without clogging the vent; gas buildup is avoided while the venting valve can operate in a consistently reliable manner; the solutions presented are sufficiently versatile as to be applicable to a variety of cells on the market; and the risk of explosion is virtually eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2008Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Bouziane Yebka, Jeremy R. Carlson, Larry G. Estes, Joseph A. Holung, Timothy Humphrey, Tin-Lup Wong

Publication number: 20110113367Abstract: A method for displaying various types of messages received from a network to which an information handling system, such as a computer, is connected. A selection is made from a list of application programs installed on the system as to whether or not messages are displayed when selected ones of the application programs are running on the system. A message display system can be operated by preventing display of messages when the display of the system is in a particular mode, such as one of full screen mode or presentation mode. A selection may be made as to which types of messages are to be displayed. Only those types of messages that are selected are displayed on a display of the system. A medium can have code thereon for causing a system to implement the method. An information handling system, such as a computer, can have a processor and memory for storing instructions to implement the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2009Publication date: May 12, 2011Inventors: Lisa Louise Carter, Neal Robert Caliendo, JR., Holly Anne Edge, Timothy Humphrey, Paul Plaskonos, Matthew Roper

Publication number: 20050149524Abstract: A computer-automated system and method identify text in a first “citing” court case, near a “citing instance” (in which a second “cited” court case is cited), that indicates the reason(s) for citing (RFC). The automated method of designating text, taken from a set of citing documents, as reasons for citing (RFC) that are associated with respective citing instances of a cited document, has steps including: obtaining contexts of the citing instances in the respective citing documents (each context including text that includes the citing instance and text that is near the citing instance), analyzing the content of the contexts, and selecting (from the citing instances' context) text that constitutes the RFC, based on the analyzed content of the contexts. A related computer-automated system and method selects content words that are highly related to the reasons a particular document is cited, and gives them weights that indicate their relative relevance.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2005Publication date: July 7, 2005Inventors: Timothy Humphrey, Xin Lu, Afsar Parhizgar, Salahuddin Ahmed, James Wiltshire, John Morelock, Joseph Harmon, Spiro Collias, Paul Zhang
