  • Patent number: 11115434
    Abstract: Computerized systems and methods for sharing identified cyber-threat information in a standardized and secure format. The sharing of cyber-threat information assists in preventing malicious actors from replicating successful cyber-attacks by informing potential targets of the methods employed by the malicious actors, and the defensive measures that those targets should to implement to prevent those methods from succeeding. By distributing cyber-threat information in a standardized format, the systems and methods enable participating entities to automatically analyze and implement defensive measures for cyber-threat information shared by any other participating entities. The systems and methods also permit an entity to control which threat information it shares and which other entities it shares it with in a secure manner in order to preserve that entity's security and reputation.

  • Patent number: 10935055
    Abstract: A modular electrohydraulic actuator including an electric motor, a hydraulic pump driven by the electric motor, and a hydraulic actuator in fluid communication with the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic actuator includes a hydraulic cylinder supporting a pressure sleeve in which a piston and rod is adapted for reciprocating motion in response to a supply of pressurized fluid to a first side or a second side of the piston, wherein at least one of the electric motor, hydraulic pump, hydraulic cylinder, piston, piston rod or the pressure sleeve supported in the hydraulic cylinder is selectively removable and replaceable with a different component to vary at least one performance characteristic of the electrohydraulic actuator.

  • Patent number: 9428375
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for monitoring a fuel delivery system to limit acidic corrosion. An exemplary monitoring system includes a controller, at least one monitor, and an output. The monitoring system may collect and analyze data indicative of a corrosive environment in the fuel delivery system. The monitoring system may also automatically warn an operator of the fueling station of the corrosive environment so that the operator can take preventative or corrective action.

  • Patent number: 7308446
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for regular expression matching, especially for, but not limited to high-speed applications such as in a packet switching system (e.g., a router). One implementation includes a matching mechanism for processing each character of a plurality of input characters to progressively generate keyword indications of matched keywords as matched keywords are identified, and for generating one or more matching indications of matched base expressions and non-keyword expressions. These indications are received by a matched regular expression detection mechanism which generates one or more matched regular expression indications based on said one or more keyword indications and said one or more matching indications. In one implementation, the matched regular expression detection mechanism maintains a keyword data structure, which is updated as matched keyword indications are received to ensure they are matched in a proper order.
