A method for automatically changing a version of a client agent for a non-administrative user account without rebooting the user's machine uses a service having installation privileges. The service executes on the client and installs a client agent. The client agent communicates with a network appliance. The client agent detects a difference between its version and a version of the client agent identified by the network appliance. The agent signals the service that it has detected the difference and, in response, the service executes an installation program that installs, without rebooting the client, the version of the client agent identified by the appliance. A corresponding system is also described.

The invention discloses a financial network unusual transaction community finding method based on information entropy. The method includes the specific steps of firstly, analyzing the process and the mode of an unusual transaction, and extracting features of block transactions and suspicious transactions; secondly, storing transaction amounts and traction frequency information of accounts through an adjacent matrix so as to quantize the features; thirdly, defining the information entropy of nodes; fourthly, conducting community division and finding on the financial network nodes according to the financial network unusual transaction community finding method based on the information entropy; fifthly, evaluating the community finding result. Firstly, accuracy of unusual transaction account identification and unusual transaction communication division which are achieved according to the method is calculated, and then the structure of the unusual transaction community is evaluated through the community evaluation index modularity Q. The community finding method based on the information entropy is applied to the anti-money laundering field for the first time, the money laundering accounts can be identified and tracked by finding the unusual transaction community, and unusual transactions can be prevented by analyzing the relations and the transaction laws between money laundering accounts.

An equipment fault diagnosis method successively comprises fault diagnosis training steps and fault diagnosis operation steps. The method focuses on a data form characteristic essence and combines a multi-dimensional segmentation fitting algorithm and an optimized dynamic time warping algorithm based on equipment fault data to carry out pattern expression of modeling and distance threshold extraction, and extract form characteristics from the found equipment abnormity data to carry out mode matching, so that an equipment data fault type can be identified and a reason diagnosis function is realized. In this way, the difficulties in current fault diagnosis technologies that similarity degrees among the fault data can hardly be described efficiently and accurately can be solved.

Financial institution back office computerized transaction-processing system with embedded privacy and security layer (EPSL) enables strong transaction authentication prior to a merchant or vendor contact, based on a user account number, transaction conditions like anticipated transaction time and money, user two-factor authentication with a static transaction PIN and a transaction session-specific random partial password or PIN recognition algorithm. User enters the user name and then, challenged by server with a random session-specific subset of a password or PIN character's consecutive position numbers, enters based on cognitive association a one time authentication response. The authentication session is interactive, transaction session-specific, and followed by either a transaction denial or an alphanumeric transaction signature generated by EPSL for this specific transaction. Then, the user submits her request to a transaction counterpart along with the transaction signature. The merchant or vendor requests an authorization session with EPSL.

A spread spectrum meter reading system enables the use of high power frequency hopping spread spectrum (HPSS) transmissions at both the encoder transmitter and repeater levels of the meter reading system. A plurality of end point encoder transmitter devices are each connected to a utility meter and transmit high power FHSS signals containing at least metering data for the corresponding utility meter. A plurality of intermediate transceiver units that are fewer in number than the number of end point encoder transmitter devices both receives and retransmits the high power FHSS signals. A base station includes a receiver that receives the high power FHSS signals. Preferably, the base station can receive the high power FHSS signals from both the encoder transmitter devices and the intermediate transceiver units and the intermediate transceiver units aggregates metering data from multiple encoder transmitter devices prior to block retransmission of the metering data to the base station. Preferably, the high power FHSS signals are transmitted at a maximum hopping rate of at least one minute per hop to reduce power consumption and increase battery life of the devices.

A pumping machine, that can serve a system as the sole main pump for pressurizing a primary liquid flow, incorporates, in a single machine, a rotor-drum type AP (axial piston) pump and a PX (pressure exchanger) that recovers energy from a secondary liquid flow such as the brine discharge from an RO seawater desalination system, with benefits including fewer moving parts and small machine size along with lower capital and operating costs. A single rotor-drum containing the cylinders and pistons is located between two end blocks, one or both configured with manifold passageways, ports and sliding valves. A swash-plate at one end reciprocates the pistons axially when the rotor-drum is rotated. Two working chambers, primary and secondary, are formed at opposite ends of a single piston in each cylinder, thus enabling the single rotor-drum to function as a primary liquid-pressurizing axial pump (AP) with sliding valves at the primary end enabling primary liquid pumping, and as a secondary outflow-driven pressure exchanger (PX) recovering energy from pressure drop in the secondary liquid flow and thus contributing work to primary pumping, saving energy and reducing operating costs.

Disclosed are a scheduling apparatus of an unmanned aircraft and a scheduling method of the scheduling apparatus. The scheduling apparatus (1) includes a memory cell (2), a verification module (3), and a scheduling module (4). The memory cell (2) stores identification code data and flight mission data, and the verification module (3) verifies an identification code sent by and uniquely corresponding to the unmanned aircraft (5). When verification of the identification code is passed, the scheduling module (4) receives a flight mission sent by the unmanned aircraft (5). When the flight mission conflicts with a flight mission of other unmanned aircraft, and the priority of the flight mission is less than or equal to the flight mission of other unmanned aircraft, the scheduling module (4) adjusts the flight mission.

Multiple remote computers, a PXE server, a DHCP server, and a deployment server are connected to a network. An administrator assigns certain remote computers to be employed, and these computers are rebooted in a network boot mode. Afterwards, a client program is downloaded to each of these remote computers from the PXE server with the help of the DHCP server. These client programs start to communicate with the deployment server for receiving a series of multicast deployment packets. These client programs use the contents in the deployment packets to build a system environment for these remote computers. Disk images, configurations of BIOS and CMOS of these remote computers are backed up in the deployment server in advance so that these remote computers can be employed efficiently when necessary.
