As software is getting more valuable, unauthorized users or malicious programmers illegally copies and distributes copyrighted software over online service provider (OSP) and P2P networks. To detect, block, and remove pirated software (illegal programs) on OSP and P2P networks, this paper proposes a new filtering approach using software birthmark, which is unique characteristics of program and can be used to identify each program. Software birthmark typically includes constant values, library information, sequence of function calls, and call graphs, etc. We target Microsoft Windows applications and utilize the numbers and names of DLLs and APIs stored in a Windows executable file. Using that information and each cryptographic hash value of the API sequence of programs, we construct software birthmark database. Whenever a program is uploaded or downloaded on OSP and P2P networks, we can identify the program by comparing software birthmark of the program with birthmarks in the database. It is possible to grasp to some extent whether software is an illegally copied one. The experiments show that the proposed software birthmark can effectively identify Windows applications. That is, our proposed technique can be employed to efficiently detect and block pirated programs on OSP and P2P networks.

X-Seed is a native Microsoft Windows program with three primary functions: (i) to serve as a graphical user interface to the SHELX suite of programs, (ii) to facilitate exploration of crystal packing and intermolecular interactions, and (iii) to generate high-quality molecular graphics artwork suitable for publication and presentation. Development of X-Seed Version 1.0 began in 1998, when point-and-click crystallographic software was still limited in scope and power. Considerable enhancements have been implemented within X-Seed over the past two decades. Of particular importance are support for the SHELX2019 programs (SHELXS, SHELXD, SHELXT and SHELXL) for structure solution and refinement, and MSRoll for rendering void spaces in crystal structures. The current version (i.e. Version 4) of X-Seed has a new interface designed to be more interactive and user friendly, and the software can be downloaded and used free of charge.

A Microsoft Windows-based system calledRipplehas been developed to drive a digital topography camera and to collect and analyze a sequence of topographic images. It has a graphical user interface, is easy to use and can be parasitically installed at existing beamlines. The modular design allows for the simple addition of detectors, detector image file formats, triggers and motion controllers.

The interface concept of adaptable design allows users to select and apply alternative auditory elements to the user interface. This study examines the consistency of the arousal strength of auditory elements that accompany exception messages available in two adaptable design options available for the Microsoft Windows operating system: (1) sound schemes and (2) desktop themes. The auditory elements available in these options differ in composition and sound features. Prior work indicates that such differences could result in differences in the arousal strength communicated by the auditory elements and therefore violate the key user interface design principle of consistency. The auditory elements within IT environments should communicate consistent levels of hazard as measured by arousal strength in order to achieve “hazard matching.” Results reveal differences in the arousal strength of the important critical stop auditory element across both sound schemes and desktop themes. Implications of this finding are discussed.
