Abstract: A system is provided for performing an automated power charging process for one or more electric vehicles using a processor. Included in the processor is a charge controller that calculates a capacity of a power grid system by communicating with the power grid system via a network, and a power demand level of the one or more electric vehicles to satisfy one or more mission requirements of each electric vehicle. The power demand level of the one or more electric vehicles is compared with the capacity of the power grid system. In response to the comparison, at least one charging mode is selected from an override mode and an internal combustion engine mode for performing the automated power charging process. The charge controller automatically charges the one or more electric vehicles based on the selected at least one charging mode.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a computerized method for emulating processing of a peripheral device including operations of providing an insertion emulation signal to a computing device emulating insertion of the peripheral device to a port of the computing device, intercepting a request for a device descriptor of the peripheral device from a PnP manager operating on the computing device, providing a device descriptor of the peripheral device to the PnP manager, wherein the PnP manager is configured to enumerate the emulated peripheral device, intercepting one or more universal serial bus (USB) request blocks (URBs) from the PnP manager, and responsive to each of the one or more URBs, providing a response to the PnP manager. The insertion emulation signal may emulate a voltage transition on a data line of the port of the computing device. The peripheral device may adhere to a USB standard.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for identifying a file utilized to automatically launch content as unwanted. In one embodiment, a file is identified in response to a detection of unwanted code, the file utilized to automatically launch content. Additionally, it is determined whether an identifier associated with the unwanted code is included in the file. Further, the file is identified as unwanted based on the determination.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for alerting the presence of bundled software during an installation are disclosed. An example method includes identifying installation of a software product. The software product is scanned to identify first information, the first information to include information extracted from a file associated with the software product that is indicative of a main application to be installed as part of the software product. Information displayed to a user during the installation of the software product is scanned to identify second information. Whether a bundled application is included in the software product is identified based on the first information, the second information, and the signature file.

Abstract: A technique allows a user client to receive a software product from a server. The user client may determine if the software product includes other potentially unwanted programs by reading one or more graphical user interface instances that are created during installation of the software product. The graphical user interface instances are read to identify information related to software identifiers of the software product and of potentially unwanted programs. A signature file may be received from a third-party server. The software identifiers of the software product and potentially unwanted programs can be checked against the signature file during installation of the software product in order to identify the presence of potentially unwanted programs that may be bundled with software product.
