20100167294METHODS FOR DETECTING NUCLEIC ACIDS IN A SAMPLE - Systems and methods are provided for immobilizing nucleic acid amplicons and protein antigens on a test device. Amplicons comprising a synthetic binding unit and a detectable label are generated and immobilized at predetermined locations on a test device by specific binding interactions between the synthetic binding unit and a synthetic capture unit located at the predetermined locations. The synthetic binding unit may include a unique design such that during amplification, a region of the synthetic binding unit is not subject to the amplification reaction, and thus the amplicon remains single stranded and available for binding to the synthetic capture unit during the capture process. In certain embodiments, the synthetic binding unit and a synthetic capture unit include synthetic nucleic acid analogs that do not interact with native nucleic acids or enzymes that act thereon. In one embodiment the synthetic binding unit and synthetic capture unit comprises puranosyl RNA (pRNA).07-01-2010

20090048439Isolation of nucleic acids molecules using modified solid supports - Provided are solid supports that contain at least one hydrophilic ligand; and at least one hydrophobic ligand, where amount of the at least one hydrophobic ligand on the solid support relative to the amount of the at least one hydrophilic ligand on the solid support is adjusted for binding target nucleic acid(s) from a sample onto the solid support and/or for eluting the bound target nucleic acid(s) from the solid support, so that the amount of target nucleic acid(s) bound to the solid support and/or recovered after elution from the solid support is about 5% to about 500% greater than the amount of target nucleic acid(s) bound to the solid support and/or recovered from the solid support in the absence of either the at least one hydrophobic ligand or the at least one hydrophilic ligand or both. The solid supports with ligands are used for isolation of nucleic acid molecules from samples.02-19-2009

20100235908System and Method for Detection of a Change in Behavior in the Use of a Website Through Vector Analysis - A system and method for identifying the change of user behavior on a website includes analyzing the actions of users on a website comprising a plurality of parameters or parameters that identify the actions performed on a website including parameters or fields related to previous actions by that user or other users of the website. The parameters or fields are represented in a vector format where each vector represents a different session of activity on the website, page of the website, user of the website, or other attribute of the use of a website. Analysis is performed to determine if new sessions are similar or dissimilar to previously known sessions.09-16-2010
20100235909System and Method for Detection of a Change in Behavior in the Use of a Website Through Vector Velocity Analysis - A system and software for identifying the change of user behavior on a website includes analyzing the actions of users on a website comprising a plurality of fields or input parameters that identify the actions performed on a website including fields related to previous actions by that user or other users of the website. The fields or input parameters are represented in a vector format where vectors represent different sessions of activity on the website, pages of the website, users of the website, or other attributes of the use of a website. Analysis is performed to determine if new sessions are similar or dissimilar to previously known sessions and if a session is converging or diverging from known sessions based on the velocity and direction of the velocity of the vectors in the vector space.09-16-2010
20110185421SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NETWORK SECURITY INCLUDING DETECTION OF MAN-IN-THE-BROWSER ATTACKS - A method is performed in a network security system implemented in a computer or electronic device that is coupled to secured online resources for detecting unauthorized accesses of those secured online resources. The method includes monitoring a user activity session. It is determined whether the user activity session is indicative of a hidden session by an attacker, where the determination includes comparing the user activity session to an average user activity session.07-28-2011
20110214187System and Method for Network Security Including Detection of Attacks Through Partner Websites - A computer readable storage medium with instructions executable on a host computer. The instructions record a relationship between a partner site and the host computer, substitute a reference to the partner site with a partner site alias referencing the host computer, deliver the partner site alias to a client, replace the partner site alias for the reference to the partner site in response to receiving the partner site alias from the client and augment the address of the client with an address alias. The address alias is sent to the partner site. A partner action and the address alias are received from the partner site. The address is exchanged for the address alias. The partner action is delivered to the client utilizing the address. These operations are monitored to identify client activity that constitutes a security threat at the host computer or the partner site.09-01-2011
20110302653System and Method for Network Security Including Detection of Attacks Through Partner Websites - A computer readable storage medium has instructions for execution on a computer. The instructions monitor transactions between a server and a set of clients. An evaluation of session indicators associated with the transactions is performed. Individual sessions between the server and individual clients of the plurality of clients are isolated in response to the evaluation.12-08-2011
20120016633SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF ANOMALOUS RECURRENT BEHAVIOR - A non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to observe the distribution of the frequency of a recurrent behavior to form a histogram. A rehistogram of the histogram is computed to model the distribution of the frequency of the frequency of the recurrent behavior. The rehistogram provides an individual frequency relative to the total frequency of the recurrent behavior. The individual frequency is compared to a predicted frequency to form a difference frequency. An anomaly event is identified when the difference frequency exceeds an anomaly threshold.01-19-2012
