Appl. No.:

8/922407

Inventors:

Charles W. Herring - Cary IL

Abstract:

A deep fat fryer includes a plurality of open-ended burner tubes that are end-welded between opposing walls of the fry pot. A front heat shield is formed from a pair of steel sheets and is positioned between the wall of the fry pot and the burner so that the end weld is protected from the burner flame. Airflow is established over the end weld during operation of the burner. A rear heat shield is positioned in the rear of the burner tube and blocks the rear end weld from the hot combustion products. The spaces between the rear heat shield and the burner tube inner wall and the fry pot outer wall are filled with insulation.

Abstract:

One embodiment of the invention is a system that stores a characteristic “modus operandi” for each type of computer attack that has historically been encountered or that could potentially be encountered on a computer network. In this embodiment, the system uses criteria derived from a modus operandi to query an event data store, identifying entities (host computers, user credentials, or malicious software objects) on the network that meet those criteria. The system also queries a flow data store to identify network connections among the identified entities that meet the criteria for the modus operandi. The identified entities and network connections are then analyzed to determine whether an attack matching the modus operandi is underway. If so, the system transmits a notification to permit the attack to be thwarted before it is completed (i.e., before exfiltration of sensitive stolen data occurs).
