Title: Method and apparatus for 3D-measurement by detecting a predetermined pattern
Inventor: SONODA TETSURI
IPC: G06F11/10
Filed: 2011-08-31
Abstract: An image information processing apparatus performs three-dimensional measurement of an object using a captured image obtained by projecting onto the object a projection pattern containing a two-dimensional symbol sequence that is obtained by assigning a predetermined symbol to each code in a projection code string in which a plurality of types of codes are arranged two-dimensionally and capturing an image of the object. The apparatus obtains an imaging pattern by extracting a symbol sequence from the captured image, and converts symbol dots in the imaging pattern into corresponding codes, thereby obtaining an imaging code string. The apparatus obtains a predetermined number of codes according to one sampling feature selected from a plurality of types of sampling features, generates an information code string by arranging the obtained codes, and determining the correspondence between the information code string and a part of the projection code string, thereby performing three-dimensional measurement.

Title: Injecting lost packets and protocol errors in a simulation environment
Inventor: RUF JUERGEN
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2013-11-13
Abstract: The invention is an error injector 212 to be inserted between devices 202/4 connected by a packet communications link and intended to intercept packets traversing that link.

Title: Remote malware scanning capable of static and dynamic file analysis
Inventor: Pekka Rasanen
IPC: G06F21/56
Filed: 2016-11-15
Abstract: A method of remote malware scanning comprises comparing at a first node (e.g. a host) file items of an electronic file (e.g. an Android app) to be scanned for malware with the file items of previously scanned electronic files that include a predetermined number of same file items than the app to be scanned, and generating a recipe that includes information for identifying the previously scanned app and one or more file items included in the app to be scanned, and the result of the comparison. The recipe is used at the server to reconstruct the app and execute a dynamic malware analysis on a runtime behaviour of the reconstructed app. The server may then send the result of the analysis to the host. A malware property query may be performed for the app and its file items before the aforementioned method, and the method may be initiated if the query yields an inconclusive result. Upon receiving the recipe, the server may request any missing files, i.e. files that are not readily available at the server or not sent along with the recipe, from the host.
