Title: Identifying malicious applications by statistical analysis of currently running programs and network connections
Inventor: TIKKANEN ANTTI
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2012-11-22
Abstract: A security application running on a computer system generates an application list indicating applications that are currently running. The system identifies network addresses meeting established criteria, such as entries in an IP whitelist or a database of malicious servers. The system then determines whether connections to those addresses have been made within a certain timeframe, and provides the application list LAPP and identified addresses LDOMHITS to another application 712, which may be on an external server 710 receiving information from multiple clients 100, 720, 722, 724. A statistical analysis is then performed to determine which of the applications in the list provided the connection to the suspect address. The analysing application may provide instruction to the system to kill the identified malware. If the operating platform restricts access to these details, the application list can be inferred from installed applications, and the network connections from DNS cache or routing table queries. This allows the detection and elimination of hazardous programs even in systems with restrictive security models.

Title: Forced-cooled refrigeration system
Inventor: WRIGLEY IAN ANTHONY BRAMWELL
IPC: F25B49/02
Filed: 2013-03-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for force-cooling food in a compressor refrigeration system in which the compressor supplies coolant for cooling food in an enclosure 710 of the system. The arrangement includes a temperature sensor 716 able to provide a signal indicative of the ambient temperature within the enclosure and a data storage module 718 for storing at least two sets of predefined data values. The first set of predefined values (412 fig 4) simulating a first foodstuff temperature attained within the enclosure under a first operating condition and the second set of predefined values (414 fig 4) simulating a second foodstuff temperature attained within the enclosure under a second operating condition. The arrangement further includes a control system 740 which includes the compressor motor control 750. The motor 720 is driven or stopped based upon the enclosure ambient temperature signal and one of the predefined values, and when the motor is running the controller regulates the voltage applied to the motor to a minimum value which allows sufficient current for synchronous rotation of the motor. Alternatively the invention provides means (510 to 550 fig 5) to determine the predefined values simulating food temperatures by measuring internal and external food temperatures of the foodstuff during an environmental temperature change.

Title: Method for virtual machine failover management and system supporting the same
Inventor: MCNEENEY ADAM JAMES
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2011-12-19
Abstract: In a mirrored virtual machine environment utilising a checkpoint process to control the transfer of data from primary (402) to secondary (406) virtual machines, an internal network (400) enables primary virtual machines to exchange network packets with other virtual machines (404) without having to wait for a checkpoint to occur. A mechanism is provided to ensure that all primary virtual machines that can see the network traffic of a particular virtual machine cannot affect the outside environment until the checkpoint has been completed. This is achieved by synchronising checkpoints between all primary virtual machines and ensuring that, if one fails, then all failover to their respective secondary.
