The method for securing a network application also includes aggregating the probability values of the independent aspects of the network information to determine the probability of the entire network traffic. In addition, the method for securing a network application includes determining whether the probability value of the entire network information is above or below a threshold probability value.

20100192201	Method and Apparatus for Excessive Access Rate Detection - A system and method for protection of Web based applications are described. Anomalous traffic can be identified by comparing the traffic to a profile of acceptable user traffic when interacting with the application. Excessive access rates are one type of anomalous traffic that is detected by monitoring a source and determining whether the number of requests that the source generates within a specific time frame is above a threshold. The anomalous traffic, or security events, identified at the individual computer networks are communicated to a central security manager. The central security manager correlates the security events at the individual computer networks to determine if there is an enterprise wide security threat. The central security manager can then communicate instructions to the individual computer networks so as to provide an enterprise wide solution to the threat. Various responsive actions may be taken in response to detection of an excessive access rate.	07-29-2010

20100231901	INSPECTION SYSTEM EMPLOYING ILLUMINATION THAT IS SLECTABLE OVER A CONTINUOUS RANGE ANGLES - An illumination device and method for inspecting objects having microscopic features is provided. The device includes an illuminator which provides a solid angle of angularly specific illumination defining an illumination angle, selected by a user from among a continuous range of possible illumination angles. The device further includes an object inspector which inspects the object illuminated by the illuminator. The illuminator may include an illumination source, a light concentrator, an illumination angle selector, disposed along a light path between the illumination source and the object inspector. The illumination angle selector may have a first position in which directly -reflected light propagates toward the object plane and a second position in which no light both selected by the illumination angle selector and directly reflected from the object plane enters the collecting lens. Rather, in the second position, only scattered light from the object plane enters the collecting lens.	09-16-2010

20080207322	Method, System and Computer-Readable Code For Providing a Computer Gaming Device - A system, method and computer readable code for providing a single player and/or a multi-player gaming environment is provided. Each user is provided with a client device having an input module and display screen. An application server array receives data indicative of game commands from each client device. Residing in the application server array is a game engine which maintains a virtual gaming universe including one or more of user-controllable gaming characters. The gaming engine is operative to associate each user-controlled gaming character with game commands received from a respective client device of the plurality of devices. At the application server array, a one or more streams of videos are rendered. In some embodiments, each video stream represents a view associated with a different game character. Each video stream is sent over a communications link to a respective client device. In some embodiments, the communications link is a switched network, such as a packet switched network of a circuit switched network.	08-28-2008

20140147367	CRYSTALLIZATION APPARATUS - A reaction-crystallization apparatus for carrying out reaction and/or solvent extraction and/or crystallization of soluble salts has an upper section having a top and a decanter. The decanter has a vertical vessel having a horizontal weir at the top of the upper section. The top of the upper section has an outlet for removing a light phase at the top of the decanter. The apparatus has a lower section, including a crystallizer. The crystallizer includes: a coaxial draft tube; a feed pipe; an agitator inside the draft tube; and at least one outlet at the bottom for crystal slurry removal. The apparatus has an intermediate section sandwiched between the lower section and the upper section such that the sections are in fluid communication and includes at least one coaxial vertical baffle with a gap between the draft tube and the coaxial vertical baffle and is adjustable by moving the baffle.	05-29-2014
