  • Publication number: 20200204572
    Abstract: Conventional email filtering services are not suitable for recognizing sophisticated malicious emails, and therefore may allow sophisticated malicious emails to reach inboxes by mistake. Introduced here are threat detection platforms designed to take an integrative approach to detecting security threats. For example, after receiving input indicative of an approval from an individual to access past email received by employees of an enterprise, a threat detection platform can download past emails to build a machine learning (ML) model that understands the norms of communication with internal contacts (e.g., other employees) and/or external contacts (e.g., vendors). By applying the ML model to incoming email, the threat detection platform can identify security threats in real time in a targeted manner.

  • Publication number: 20190359286
    Abstract: A bicycle anti-stripping chainring has a body, multiple wide teeth, and multiple narrow teeth. The wide teeth and the narrow teeth are alternately formed on and protrude from an outer periphery of the body at spaced intervals. Each wide tooth has a width wider than a wide of each narrow tooth. At least one of the wide teeth has two side faces inclined in a same direction and staggered a tangential direction of the body. With the arrangement of the wide teeth and the narrow teeth of the present invention, a chain can engage with the different widths of the wide teeth and the narrow teeth tightly, and this can provide a anti-stripping effect to the chain when a bicycle is in use.

  • Patent number: 10201874
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for realizing tubular optical waveguides in glass by femtosecond laser direct writing. Irradiation in glass with focused femtosecond laser pulses leads to decrease of refractive index in the modified region. Tubular optical waveguides of variable mode areas are fabricated by forming the four sides of the modified regions with slit-shaped femtosecond laser pulses, ensuring single mode waveguide with a mode field dimension compatible with direct coupling to single-mode optical fibers.
