Title: Gravitational Gradiometer for measuring quasi-static gravity gradients with control means for stiffening the ribbon
Inventor: VERYASKIN ALEXEY
IPC: G01V7/00
Filed: 2009-07-03
Abstract: A quasi-static gravity gradients comprising: a flexible ribbon 3 held under tension at both longitudinal ends 5 and sensing means 20 to detect the transverse displacement of the ribbon from an undisturbed position due to the gravitational field acting on said ribbon and to generate a signal representing the displacement. Output means are coupled to sensing means 20 and are responsive to the displacement signal to generate an output signal which is a function of the gravitational gradient tensor of the gravitational field. To modulate the response of the apparatus to gravitational gradients, the apparatus further comprises ribbon stiffening means. These are operable to change the ribbon from a normal state to a stiffened state thereby reducing the displacement of the ribbon due to the gravitational field. Control means 13 are provided to periodically operate the stiffening means 10 at a frequency equal to the resonant frequency of the ribbon. An output means demodulates the displacement signal by synchronous detection using a signal representing the modulation of the ribbon stiffness.

Title: Method of associating precursor and product ions
Inventor: WILDGOOSE JASON LEE
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2014-11-11
Abstract: Precursor ions of interest 2 are separated according to their ion mobility. The mass to charge ratios of precursor ions of interest are modified when they are subjected to a fragmentation or reaction condition for producing product ions of interest 6. The method then filters the product ions (or product ion data) such that only a subset 6 of the product ions are transmitted and detected (or a subset of the data remains) and so as to exclude product ions 4 (or product ion data) that could not have possibly resulted from the fragmentation or reaction of interest. The subset of product ions are selected according to a predetermined known change in the mass to charge ratio while the ion mobility remains unchanged. The method significantly simplifies the product ion data, enabling the product ions to be identified or compared to precursor ion spectra more efficiently.

Title: Return-target restrictive return from procedure instructions, processors, methods, and systems
Inventor: CAPRIOLI PAUL
IPC: G06F21/57
Filed: 2015-01-20
Abstract: A decode unit 330 decodes an RTR return (Return Target Restrictive return from procedure) instruction 314. An RTR unit 322, coupled with the decode unit, is responsive to the RTR return instruction to determine whether to allow 336 or restrict an attempt by the RTR return instruction to make a control flow transfer to an instruction at a return address 358 corresponding to the RTR return instruction, typically held 354 on the call stack 352. The determination is based on compatibility 332 of a type 321 of the instruction at the return address with the RTR return instruction and on compatibility 334 of first RTR information 316 of the RTR return instruction with second RTR information 320 of the instruction 318 at the return address 358. A control flow transfer unit 338, coupled with the RTR unit and with the decode unit is responsive to the RTR return instruction to transfer control flow to the instruction at the return address when the return target restriction unit determines not to restrict the attempt. The invention finds typical use in addressing ROP (Return-Oriented Programming, return-into-libc) attacks based on compromise of the call stack, e.g. due to a buffer overrun exploit.

Title: Dynamic remote malware scanning
Inventor: Juha Ylipekkala
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2016-02-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of dynamic remote malware scanning. The method starts by identifying an electronic file to be scanned for malware at a first node in a network, generating a scanning object of the identified electronic file on the basis of a dynamic configuration sent by a second node of the network. The scanning object is generated by using the malware-susceptible data of the identified electronic file and neglecting the malware-insusceptible data of the identified electronic file. A signature of the scanning object is generated and checked against previously identified signatures to determine if the electronic file is malware. If the signature does not match the scanning object is sent to the second node to be checked. The method may include, the first node retrieving relevant file information for the electronic file, transferring the information to the second node, and receiving instructions for generating the scanning object from the second node which are used to set the dynamic configuration.
