Abstract: A system and method for preventing propagation of malicious content associated with an electronic message are disclosed. An electronic message and content associated with the electronic message is simulated in a virtual machine which emulates the destination computing device of the electronic message. A virtual firewall receives one or more commands as the electronic message or content associated with an electronic message is executed. Initially, the virtual firewall establishes a network connection and determines the type of action associated with the commands. If the type of action comprises a connection maintenance or configuration command, the network connection is maintained. If the type of action comprises a data transmission command, the network connection is terminated. This allows the virtual machine to simulate performance of a networked computer by transmitting a subset of the data through a network connection.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided for reducing acoustical noise when cooling a device, such as a lamp system. The apparatus includes at least a set of a first synthetic jet and a second synthetic jet. The first and second synthetic jets are responsive to respective actuating signals having a phase difference (e.g., 180°) between one another chosen to reduce acoustic noise produced by the first and second synthetic jets when cooling the device.

Abstract: A heat exchanger or chemical reactor comprising a heat exchange body defining a plurality of flow passages and a removable insert defining secondary heat exchanger surfaces retained within at least one of the flow passages by insert retention means. The insert comprises one or more plate(s) having perforations to define discreet fluid flow channels extending across the plate(s) and wherein said one or more of the plates is provided with a carrier for a catalyst or adsorbent.
