Abstract: Mapping network addresses in logs of network activity to corresponding host computers includes generating lists of known-dynamic addresses, static addresses and other-dynamic addresses from network addresses appearing in the logs. The static addresses and other-dynamic addresses are assigned to host computers having respective first host identifiers, and the known-dynamic addresses are associated with corresponding host computers having respective second host computer identifiers contained in dynamic address assignment activity. For the static and other-dynamic addresses, the first host identifiers are obtained, and first address-to-host bindings are created for address-based lookups of first host identifiers using respective addresses.

Abstract: According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for storing and rebuilding data computes a corresponding parity after receiving an Input/Output command, and based on the parity, determines whether a final stripe corresponding to the Input/Output command is a full stripe. When the final stripe is a full stripe, a plurality of data and a parity corresponding to the Input/Output command are stored into a main hyper erase unit (HEU) in a disk storage system. When the final stripe is not a full stripe, a final parity is re-computed and written into at least two parity pages of a buffering HEU.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for detecting suspicious web traffic are provided herein. A method includes generating a database comprising information corresponding to each of multiple connections between one or more destinations external to an enterprise network and one or more hosts within the enterprise network, wherein said multiple connections occur over a given period of time; processing multiple additional connections between one or more destinations external to the enterprise network and one or more hosts within the enterprise network with one or more filtering operations to produce one or more filtered connections, wherein said multiple additional connections occur subsequent to said given period of time; and analyzing said filtered connections against the database to identify a connection to a destination external to the enterprise network that is not included in the information in the database.

Abstract: A cascade-type device for intercepting and filtering oil fumes comprises an exhausting space formed between a housing and a filter and a cascading space formed between the filter and an external plate. A wind entrance communicated with the cascading space is formed between a lower portion of the external plate and the housing. The housing accommodates rinsing liquid whose height is higher than a bottom edge of the external plate. A negative pressure formed in the exhausting and the cascading space while drawing air allows the rinsing liquid blown by a wind pressure to hit the filter and generate water bloom for combining oil molecules of oil fumes. When the oil fumes further pass the filter, the oil molecules are adhered to the filter again and then scoured off by the water bloom, thereby attaining a dual-filtering effect and an automatic cleanliness of the filter and the housing.

Abstract: An assembly for cooking has a safety device installed on an air guider. The safety device comprises a sensor detecting a wind flow from the air guider and a processing unit comparing a sensed flow value of the wind flow with a predetermined flow value and determining the flowing condition of the air guider and executing a controlling action. When oil sludge obstructs an opening of the air guider to cause the flow value of cooking fumes to be lower than the predetermined value, the processing unit stops an air pump of the air guider or activates an alarm unit to warn operators to clean the air guider, thereby maintaining an efficient inhaling effect of the air guider. The processing unit can concurrently promote a rotation speed of the air pump to keep inhaling an amount of cooking fumes for avoiding scattering the cooking fumes in dining spaces.
