Title: Network protection
Inventor: Xiao-Si Wang
IPC: H04W4/70
Filed: 2019-03-06
Abstract: A network protection method, performed by a computer system comprising a router, involves gathering traffic data for the network 310, determining that processing to identify network IoT devices using the traffic data is to be performed using processing resources provided by another computer system 620, communicating with the other system to identify a set of network IoT devices 640, and causing one or more predetermined actions to be taken in respect of the device set to protect the network 330. Actions may include patching the identified devices, placing them into a separate VLAN, or noting differences with a previously identified set. Determining that external processing resources are to used may be based on generating a profile of router computational abilities 610. Another computer-implemented network protection method, possibly performed by an external server (520, fig. 5), involves obtaining a machine learning model for identifying network IoT devices using IoT device features extracted from network traffic data (710, fig. 7), possibly by using a deep unsupervised learning algorithm, and communicating with a routing device in the network to identify a set of network IoT devices using the machine learning model and network traffic data gathered by the routing device (720, fig. 7).

Title: Mass spectrometer having improved quadrupole robustness
Inventor: AMELIA CORINNE PETERSON
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2019-04-15
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry comprises mass filtering ions using a quadrupole mass filter multiple times, and switching a configuration of the pairs of opposing rod electrodes to which an attractive (negative) DC voltage and a repulsive (positive) DC voltage are applied multiple times, so that over long-term operation the build-up of contamination on each pair of opposing electrodes is substantially equal. Each pair of opposing electrodes may spend substantially half the time in each configuration. The same configuration may be applied when quantitative accuracy should be maintained. The configuration may be switched based on the transmission mass range of the quadrupole mass filter or a trigger based on stored usage data. The width of the narrowest selected mass range may change by <10% when the transmission efficiency of the mass filter falls by 50%. The invention slows down the time it takes for the performance of the quadrupole mass filter to be significantly affected by contamination and extend the length of time between cleanings.
