MICrONS. The MICrONS program (Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks) is a five-year project run by the United States government through the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) with the goal of reverse engineering one cubic millimeter—spanning many petabytes of volumetric data—of a rodent's brain tissue and use insights from its study to improve machine learning and artificial intelligence by constructing a connectome.  The program is part of the White House BRAIN Initiative.

Teams 
The program has set up three independent teams, each of which will take a different approach towards the goal. The teams are led by David Cox of Harvard University, Tai Sing Lee of Carnegie Mellon University; and jointly by Andreas Tolias and Xaq Pitkow of the Baylor College of Medicine, Clay Reid of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, and Sebastian Seung of Princeton University.

The Cox team aimed to build a three-dimensional map of the neural connections within the source tissue block using reconstructions from electron micrographs.

Technology and infrastructure for storing petabyte-scale volumetric data, including a cloud-based database, bossDB, were developed by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab.

Approach 
The part of the brain chosen for the project is part of the visual cortex, chosen as a representative of a task – visual perception – that is easy for animals and human beings to perform, but has turned out to be extremely difficult to emulate with computers.

Cox's team attempted to build a three dimensional mapping of the actual neural connections, based on fine electron micrographs. Lee's team took a DNA barcoding approach, in attempt to map the brain circuits by barcode-labelling of each neuron, and cross-synapse barcode connections. 

Tolias's team took a data-driven approach, assuming the brain creates statistical expectations about the world it sees. They used multiphoton microscopy to record activity of nearly every neuron in the cubic millimeter of visual cortex in response to diverse and rich visual stimuli. Data aggregation, processing, and analysis were performed using the DataJoint framework.

Results
The primary data has been collected, processed, and submitted for publication:

Industroyer. Industroyer (also referred to as Crashoverride) is a malware framework considered to have been used in the cyberattack on Ukraine’s power grid on 17 December 2016.
The attack cut a fifth of Kyiv, the capital, off power for one hour and is considered to have been a large-scale test. The Kyiv incident was the second cyberattack on Ukraine's power grid in two years. The first attack occurred on 23 December 2015. Industroyer is the first ever known malware specifically designed to attack electrical grids.
At the same time, it is the fourth malware publicly revealed to target industrial control systems, after Stuxnet, Havex, and BlackEnergy.

Discovery and naming
The malware was discovered by Slovak internet security company ESET. ESET and most of the cybersecurity companies detect it under the name "Industroyer".
Cybersecurity firm Dragos named the malware "Crashoverride".
In 2022, the Russian hacker group Sandworm initiated a blackout in Ukraine using a variant of Industroyer aptly dubbed Industroyer2.

Description
The detailed analysis of Industroyer
revealed that the malware was designed to disrupt the working processes of industrial control systems, specifically those used in electrical substations.
Industroyer is modular malware; its main components are the following:
A main backdoor  is used to control all other components of the malware. It connects to its remote Command & Control servers in order to receive commands from the attackers.
An additional backdoor provides an alternative persistence mechanism that allows the attackers to regain access to a targeted network in case the main backdoor is detected and/or disabled.
A launcher component is a separate executable responsible for launching the payload components and the data wiper component. The launcher component contains a specific activation time and date; analyzed samples contained two dates: 17 December 2016 and 20 December 2016. (Note: the former date was the date the attack actually went ahead.)
Four payload components target particular industrial communication protocols specified in the following standards: IEC 60870-5-101, IEC 60870-5-104, IEC 61850, and OLE for Process Control Data Access (OPC Data Access). The functionalities of the payload components include mapping the network, and then issuing commands to the specific industrial control devices.
A data wiper component is designed to erase system-crucial Registry keys and overwrite files to make the system unbootable and recovery from the attack harder.

Warm edge. A warm edge spacer is a type of spacer bar used in insulated glazing. It separates the panes of glass in double or triple glazing, or curtain walling and seals off the air cavity between each. Recent warm edge spacers are generally made from plastics, although stainless steel can meet the definition.

Warm edge spacers were developed as a higher performance alternative to aluminum or regular steel spacers, which allow heat transfer through the window, leading to both heat loss and condensation.

To be classed as a warm edge spacer, the product must meet the requirements of Annex E of DIN EN ISO 10077-1 (for windows), or Annex B of standard DIN EN ISO 12631 (for curtain walls).

All leading manufacturers of warm edge systems are represented on the Warm Edge Working Group, founded in 1998 as a subcommittee of the Technical Committee of Bundesverband Flachglas, to work on improving evaluation methods.
