A heat dissipation structure includes a heat sink having a base formed with four securing tabs laterally extending from four corners of the base. Four positioning posts upwardly protrude from a printed circuit board. Four spring clips are attached to the four positioning posts respectively. Each of the four spring clips has a resilient piece for exerting a downward force to press a corresponding securing tab, thereby securing the heat sink to the printed circuit board.

A file synchronization method may comprise establishing a connection with a second electronic device and performing a first synchronization operation and/or a second synchronization operation. The first synchronization operation may comprise interacting with the second electronic device to synchronize a first synchronization file from the second electronic device to the first electronic device, and to record a first piece of file source information for the first synchronization file, wherein the first piece of file source information is to identify that the first synchronization file comes from the second electronic device. The second synchronization operation may comprise selecting a second synchronization file from the first electronic device, and interacting with the second electronic device to synchronize the second synchronization file to the second electronic device, wherein the second synchronization file includes a second piece of file source information to identify that the second synchronization file corresponds to the second electronic device.

Different solution methodologies for addressing problems or issues when directing security domain patrolling strategies according to attacker-defender Stackelberg security games. One type of solution provides for computing optimal strategy against quantal response in security games, and includes two algorithms, the GOSAQ and PASAQ algorithms. Another type of solution provides for a unified method for handling discrete and continuous uncertainty in Bayesian Stackelberg games, and introduces the HUNTER algorithm. Another solution type addresses multi-objective security games (MOSG), combining security games and multi-objective optimization. MOSGs have a set of Pareto optimal (non-dominated) solutions referred to herein as the Pareto frontier. The Pareto frontier can be generated by solving a sequence of constrained single-objective optimization problems (CSOP), where one objective is selected to be maximized while lower bounds are specified for the other objectives. Specific examples of applications to security domains are described.
摘要:
A white list (or exception list) for a behavior monitoring system for detecting unknown malware on a computing device is maintained automatically without human intervention. A white list contains process IDs and other data relating to processes that are determined to be (or very likely be) free of malware. If a process is on this list, the rule matching operations of a conventional behavior monitor are not performed, thereby saving processing resources on the computing device. When a process start up is detected, the behavior monitor performs a series of checks or tests. If the process has all valid digital signatures and is not launched from a removable storage device (such as a USB key) and is not enabled to make any inbound or outbound connections, it is eligible for being on the white list. The white list is also automatically maintained by removing process IDs for processes that have terminated or which attempt to make a new outbound or inbound connection, such as a TCP/UDP connection. Scheduled integrity checks on the white list are also performed by examining the process stack for each process to ensure that there are no abnormal files in the process stack.

摘要:
Apparatus and Methods are provided for a microfabricated fluorescence activated cell sorter based on an optical switch for rapid, active control of cell routing through a microfluidic channel network. This sorter enables low-stress, highly efficient sorting of populations of small numbers of cells (i.e., 1000-100,000 cells). The invention includes packaging of the microfluidic channel network in a self-contained plastic cartridge that enables microfluidic channel network to macro-scale instrument interconnect, in a sterile, disposable format.
