A system and method for disrupting an information security threat that constitutes an attack on a computer asset in a computer network is provided. The provided system and method disrupts this information security threat after the attack on the computer asset has been detected by at least one of the monitoring devices on the affected computer network. An intermediate upstream gateway of the affected computer network is then utilized to disrupt this information security threat. As the detected attack is being disrupted, a mitigation action will be automatically initiated if a mitigation action associated with the attack is stored in the system's database; else information about the attack will be sent to a central command centre for further assessment. At the central command centre, a mitigating action will be further developed and executed to address the intention of the attack.

A separation assembly for separation of a fluid into first and second parts is disclosed. A container has a sidewall defining an interior, the container defining a longitudinal axis between the first end and the second end. A separator body is disposed within the interior having a through-hole defined therethrough. The separator body includes a first part, and a second part interfaced with the first part, wherein the separator body is transitionable from a first position wherein the through-hole is provided in fluid-receiving alignment with the first end of the container, to a second position wherein the through-hole is provided substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the container. In the first position, a through-axis of the through-hole of the separator body is in a plane that is not parallel with a plane containing the longitudinal axis of the container.

A mechanical separator and separation assembly for separating a fluid sample into first and second parts within a collection container is disclosed. The mechanical separator has a body having a through-hole for allowing fluid to pass therethrough and includes a first portion, having a first density, and a second portion, having a second density different from the first density. The body defines a longitudinal axis extending perpendicular to the through-hole, and exhibits a first compression value when a force is applied to the body along this axis. The body also defines an axis extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and along the through-hole and exhibits a second compression value when a force is applied along this axis. The first compression value is different than the second compression value and may be less than the second compression value..

A two-stage-rigidity combination elastic-member device having at least one low-rigidity elastic element (1) and one high-rigidity elastic element (2), the low-rigidity elastic element (1) being disposed in an elastic-member precompression device (3) and, when under the effect of a precompression load F1, being arranged in serial connection with the high-rigidity elastic element (2). The device has a hard-to-soft rigidity combination, allowing said device to be used as an axlebox elastic suspension device on a railway car. The invention solves the problem of cars not being able simultaneously to satisfy both critical speed requirements when snaking along a straight line and curve negotiation performance requirements. The invention can also be applied in various settings in which elastic-member shock-absorbing devices having a hard-to-soft rigidity combination are required between components of a railway car to lessen the car's wheel-rail impact, raise the car's dynamic capacity, safeguard the car's operating safety, thereby improving the service quality of the car.
