This paper details the design and implementation of a host-based intrusion detection system (Hewlett-Packard’s Praesidium IDS/9000) and a specialized kernel data source which supplies customized data to the IDS. Instead of the common attack-signature matching used in most other intrusion detection systems, IDS/9000 performs real-time monitoring of the system looking for misuse actions that are ...

Implementing an analysis and display architecture for the next generation of HP logic analyzers presented opportunities and challenges for the cross-functional design team assigned to the task. Freed from the boundaries of commercial real-time instrument operating systems and needing to offer a flexible and high-performance window-based interface, the project team took a long look at both techn...

The IBM Enterprise System/9000" Type 9121 air-cooled processor achieves, with the same or reduced physical floor space and power levels, a performance level equal to or greater than those of previous IBM processors. This performance level was attained by a combination of design innovations: a new aircooled thermal conduction module (TCM), integration of bipolar and CMOS technology in this TCM, ...

In this paper we present a non-intrusive model-based gaze tracking system. The system estimates the 3-D pose of a user’s head by tracking as few as six facial feature points. The system locates a human face using a statistical color model without any mark on the face and then finds and tracks the facial features, such as eyes, nostrils and lip corners. A full perspective model is employed to ma...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the current level of best manufacturing practices in Malaysian ISO 9000 certified small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Design/methodology/approach: The authors conducted a survey on 270 ISO 9000 certified manufacturing SMEs. Based on an extensive search of literature on performance requirements, eight areas were identified. Thus, the question...

The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an ultraviolet (UV-C, 254 nm) irradiation system on reducing the load of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium), Salmonella choleraesuis (S. choleraesuis) resistant to streptomycin and Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) inoculated in sterile porcine plasma and then subjected to different UV-C irradiation doses (750, 1500, 3000, 6000...
