Title: Client-server malware checker
Inventor: NIEMELA JARNO
IPC: G06F21/56
Filed: 2009-04-03
Abstract: A method for determining the identity of suspected malware e.g. a virus on a client device comprises sending information pertaining to the malware to a server. The server determines a first required information set, such as electronic file name, hash value, location, date and time stamp, or registry settings, and sends a request to the client device for the required information set. The client device compares the required information set with information stored at the client device, and returns the results of the comparison to the server. The server uses the results of the comparison to attempt to identify the malware. If the results of the comparison indicate that the suspected malware is one of a plurality of types of malware, a new required information set is determined and the process repeated. Otherwise the identity of the suspected malware is determined, or it is determined that the suspected malware is unknown to the server. This type of system could be used with a mobile phone to avoid having to store large virus signature databases.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of hollow moulded articles from polythene compositions
IPC: B29C41/38
Filed: 1943-06-25
Abstract: <PICT:0567012/IV/1> <PICT:0567012/IV/2> A mould containing molten polythene is cooled, or allowed to cool, whereby part of the polythene solidifies to form a hollow shell on the inside of the mould, the remaining unsolidified polythene is removed from the mould, and finally the solid hollow shell of polythene is removed from the mould.  The polythene may be melted in the mould, and may include 25 per cent of paraffin wax (to give a resilient composition), or may include polyisobutylene, dyes, pigments, fillers, &c.  To prevent the polythene sticking to the mould, the latter may be coated with sodium silicate.  The mould may be cooled with water, mineral oil or methanol.  Jars, bowls, dishes and stoppers for bottles and carboys may be made.  Figs. 1 and 3 show apparatus for making tapered hollow plugs open at the narrow end and suitable for use as stoppers, comprising truncated cones 1 fixed on a shaft 12 and connected at their wider ends to a flat plate 5 having apertures coinciding with the wider ends.  In use, a bottom plate 10 is clipped to the plate 5, the moulds are half filled with polythene in chip form, and the polythene is melted by heating the apparatus on an electric hot-plate.  The apparatus is then inverted over a similar apparatus, as shown in Fig. 3, and a cold wet cloth 32 is placed on the plate 10. Polythene drains from the upper moulds into the lower moulds, leaving a solid shell on the inside of each of the upper moulds, which shells are removed when the moulds have cooled.  The lower apparatus, with, if necessary, more polythene chips, is ready for a similar cycle of operations in conjunction with a third apparatus.  A modified apparatus is described for making bottles. In a modified procedure (example 1), a temporary projection is formed on the moulded body, to facilitate removal of the body from the mould.

Abstract: 1,260,952. Aircraft ejection seat. STENCEL AERO ENG. CORP. 26 Feb., 1969 [27 Feb., 1968], No. 10401/69. Heading B7G. An aircraft ejection seat assembly 20 comprises a catapult unit comprising two telescopic tubes 38, 44, a member 232 to shatter the cockpit canopy C to enable the ejecting seat 22 to pass through, and a seat height adjustment mechanism. The seat 22 is attached to a pair of catapult assemblies 28 by four cylindrical sleeves for example 46 and the assemblies are attached at the bottom to a header 32 attached to aircraft structure and at the top to a bridge 56. The ejection of the seat is guided by fixed rails 58 which have grooves in which bearing blocks 64 can slide. The seat 22 can be adjusted in height by an hydraulic pump arrangement Fig. 3 which contains a non-evaporative silicone fluid. A three position switch 124 is provided, with an element 126 which may be moved from its neutral position to contact a terminal 132 and thus activate a solenoid 118 to open a valve 116  thus allowing fluid to flow from portions 66<SP>1</SP> to portions 66<SP>11</SP> of two cylinders 66 to lower the seat. The switch element 126 may be alternatively moved to contact element 128 to start a motor 105 to actuate a pump 104 to raise the seat assembly. As a shock absorbing arrangement in the event of a crash, a rupturable membrane or a variable pressure relief valve may be provided between the upper 66<SP>1</SP> and lower 66<SP>11</SP> portions of cylinders 66 for example at 139 or in a solenoid valve element 116. A cartridge portion 34 contains an explosive charge and this can be actuated by withdrawing a pin 36 to supply pressurized gases to release a mechanism locking the seat. In each catapult assembly 28 a plug member 254 is connected to the canopy shattering member 232 by an "O"-ring and the catapult gases force up the combined plug and breaker until the plug seats against the lower end of a lock member 208 and the O-ring shears so that the canopy-breaker is projected upwardly. The plug member then stops the bore of the lock member 208 so that the catapult gases are prevented from escaping and cause the two tubes 38, 44 to telescope and project the seat 22 upwardly along with the outer members 44. The two canopy shattering members 232, which may be joined together by a beam, shatter the canopy C to enable the seat to pass through. The gases from the explosive charge may be used additionally to ignite auxiliary rockets, or operate automatic lap belt opening devices or delay devices.
