Title: Malicious network activity detection utilising a model of user contact lists built up from monitoring network communications
Inventor: RAVOT ISABELLE
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2006-03-07
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for detecting malicious communication activity between user devices 22, 24, 26, 28 in an electronic communications network. Source and destination data from electronic communications made across the network are used to derive contact data such as telephone numbers, email addresses and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. These contact data are used to model 58 the contents of the actual contact lists 32, 34, 36, 38 stored on user devices, without the need to individually access each of the user devices themselves. Once the models have been created, source and destination data from further electronic communications are analysed for suspicious patterns of activity, with reference to the contact list models. Malware, which propagate by scanning infected user devices for contacts of other user devices to infect and sending copies of themselves on to infect other devices, can therefore be detected.

Inventor: GOSSE DAVID B
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2004-08-27
Abstract: There is disclosed a method, device, and software for presenting search results in a response to an end-user query. Search results are combined from results from a plurality of indexes, each of the search results having an associated key field. Index entries of each of the plurality of indexes are queried using an index-specific search algorithm to obtain a set of matching search results for each index, each matching search result having a quality of match specific to its index. A relative priority is determined for each of the plurality of indexes and the matching search results from the plurality of indexes are combined into a merged list of ordered search results based on the determined priority. A search result from a lower priority index is discarded in favor of any matching search result from a higher priority index.

Filed: 2008-06-16
Abstract: An air hybrid vehicle is described powered by a downsized boosted internal combustion engine 16 equipped with a rotary supercharger 10 connected directly to the engine 16 while having selectable means for loading and unloading the supercharger 10. In the invention, power is taken from the vehicle to drive the supercharger 10 during deceleration of the vehicle in order to produce boost air from the supercharger 10. This boost air is stored in a separate air storage tank in the vehicle and is subsequently used for boosting the engine 16 during acceleration of the vehicle with the supercharger 10 unloaded. The vehicle achieves fuel saving and high performance by boost substitution in not driving the supercharger 10 in real time when this boost air is used to supply the engine 16. To accommodate a large air storage tank, the body of the vehicle is adapted with air-tight volumes linked together including the trunk of the vehicle serving both as a general luggage space and a very large boost pressure air storage volume as soon as the trunk is closed.
