20090026883 | Controller for a High Frequency Agitation Source - A controller for a high-frequency agitation source includes a signal generator to generate a drive signal having a variable duty cycle. The drive signal is used to drive the high-frequency agitation source. The controller also includes a temperature detector to detect the temperature of the high-frequency agitation source. The controller is configured to vary the duty cycle of the drive signal in response to the temperature of the high-frequency agitation source. By varying the duty cycle of the drive signal, the average power supplied to the piezoelectric crystal can be varied while still maintaining a fixed amplitude of oscillation. This allows the temperature of a high-frequency agitator, for example, a piezoelectric crystal, to be controlled. | 01-29-2009 |

20150089497 | SEPARATE, DISPOSABLE EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT FOR ACCESSING UNVERIFIED CONTENT - Methods and systems are disclosed for opening unverified content in a separate, disposable virtualized environment using a temporary virtual machine (VM). In one example, the disclosed method includes intercepting a request to open/access unverified content from a third-party remote server, and comparing the particular information/attributes of the unverified content against predetermined criteria. Then, the user device may connect using a remote presentation protocol to the temporary VM in the separate, disposable environment such that the output of the unverified content may be transported to and displayed in the separate, disposable environment. The connection with the temporary VM may be terminated and the separate, disposable environment may be wiped clean to reduce the risk of malicious code in the unverified content. | 03-26-2015 |

20090106834 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING SECURITY BY SELECTIVELY OPENING A LISTENING PORT WHEN AN INCOMING CONNECTION IS EXPECTED - The present solution reduces the attack surface of a server by selectively opening a server port for listening when a client has been authenticated/authorized via another machine or process, and directed to connect to the server in question. When not selectively listening on a port, the server does not listen or open ports for connections or otherwise minimizes the number of open ports. By selectively listening for connections, the server reduces the opportunity for hackers to attack the server process, and improves the security of the server. The ability to selectively listen on a port at specific times may be combined with additional meta information—like ticketing and prior authentication information to help further secure the server. The meta information may identify and ensure that only the correct remote endpoint is allowed to connect via the port. Instead of first listening for connections and then authenticate and authorize the received connection as with typical servers, the present solution first authenticates/authorizes a connection via another machine or process, then listens for an expected and authorized connection. | 04-23-2009 |
