Malicious network activities do not make use of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocol to reach remote targets outside a local network. This DNS-based enforcement system for confinement and detection of network malicious activities requires that every connection toward a resource located outside the local network is blocked by default by the local enforcement box, e.g. a firewall or a proxy. Outbound connections are allowed to leave the local network only when authorized directly by an entity called the DNS Gatekeeper.

A method of screening a software file for viral infection comprising defining a first database of known macro virus signatures, a second database of known and certified commercial macro signatures, and a third database of known and certified local macro signatures. The file is scanned to determine whether or not the file contains a macro. If the file contains a macro, a signature for the macro is determined and screened against the signatures contained in said databases. A user is alerted in the event that the macro has a signature corresponding to a signature contained in said first database and/or in the event that the macro has a signature which does not correspond to a signature contained in either of the second and third databases.

A fluidic lens device capable of providing variable focal power with reduced optical aberration is disclosed. The device includes a lens member and an actuator. The lens member comprises one or more elastic optical surfaces, a compliant support member in communication with the optical surfaces, and a fluid-filled chamber. The optical surfaces have a high value of elastic modulus, reducing coma and other aberrations associated gravity and acceleration. The support member may provide a compliant fluid seal and allow the edges of the optical surfaces to pivot, reducing spherical and other aberrations. One or more piezoelectric ring-bender actuators may provide the force required for compressing the support ring and deflecting the optical surfaces. The actuators may be configured to provide the fluidic lens device with reduced sensitivity to changes in temperature.

A linear light-emitting diode (LED)-based solid-state universal lamp using a frequency sensing and control mechanism operates normally with both an electronic ballast and the AC mains. The frequency sensing and control mechanism automatically detects voltage types associated with output voltages from the ballast and the AC mains in a single-ended or a double-ended lamp fixture and makes proper management so that the universal lamp works for either case and in either fixture without operational uncertainty. When two shock protection switches are used in two lamp bases, the universal lamp fully protects a person from possible electric shock during initial installation and re-lamping.

An antimicrobial, dustproof fabric includes a textile material layer which is composed of microfibers with an average fiber diameter of from 1 to 100 μm and contains an inorganic porous substance, and a nanofiber nonwoven fabric layer which is laminated on the textile material layer and has an average fiber diameter of at least 1 nm but less than 1,000 nm. Hygienic products such as masks obtained using the fabric efficiently block microbes such as viruses, and inactivate or destroy the captured microbes.

A retractable safety barricade employed to block off an aisle or entryway, comprising a barricade housing that is mounted to a first support and a safety net attached at one end to a winding tube under spring tension located within the barricade housing and at the other to a pull bar, which may be secured to a second support. When the safety barricade is in its first position, the net is fully retracted onto the winding tube within the barricade housing by means of a coil spring. When the safety barricade is in its second position, the net is extended from housing to span the area between first and second supports, substantially covering the opening between the supports and blocking passage through the area. Operation of the device is performed by a single user, who manually extends or retracts the net barrier using the pull bar.
