Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act
United States Senate Bill S.3804, known as the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) was a bill introduced by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) on September 20, 2010. It proposed amendments to Chapter 113 of Title 18 of the United States Code that would authorize the Attorney General to bring an in rem action against any domain name found "dedicated to infringing activities", as defined within the text of the bill. Upon bringing such an action, and obtaining an order for relief, the registrar of, or registry affiliated with, the infringing domain would be compelled to "suspend operation of and lock the domain name." The bill was supported by the Motion Picture Association of America, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Screen Actors Guild, Viacom, and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States. It was opposed by organizations and individuals such as Center for Democracy and Technology, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Demand Progress, the Distributed Computing Industry Association, Tim Berners-Lee, the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Watch. The bill passed the Senate Judiciary Committee with a vote of 19-0 but never received a full vote on the Senate floor. Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) announced he would take the steps necessary to halt COICA so it is not enacted into law in 2010, and was successful, effectively killing this bill and requiring it to be resubmitted and for it to make it through a new committee again in 2011 with a different makeup of its members. The Act was rewritten as the Protect IP Act.

Finger Vein Verification
Traditional technologies of personal identity authentication (e.g., tokens, cards, PINs) have been gradually replaced by some more-advanced biometrics technologies, including faces, retinas, irises, fingerprints, veins, etc. Among these, the finger vein (FV) trait, due to its unique advantages of high security, the living requirement, being non-contact, and not easily being injured or counterfeited, has drawn extensive attention after it appeared. Different from some visual imaging traits such as faces and fingerprints, the main veins in the fingers tend to be longitudinally distributed in the subcutaneous regions.

Regional-to-Local Point-Voxel Transformer
Semantic segmentation of large-scale indoor 3D point cloud scenes is crucial for scene understanding but faces challenges in effectively modeling long-range dependencies and multi-scale features. Researchers present RegionPVT, a novel Regional-to-Local Point-Voxel Transformer that synergistically integrates voxel-based regional self-attention and window-based point-voxel self-attention for concurrent coarse-grained and fine-grained feature learning. The voxel-based regional branch focuses on capturing regional context and facilitating inter-window communication. The window-based point-voxel branch concentrates on local feature learning while integrating voxel-level information within each window.

Basic Process of Binary Code Similarity Analysis
Against the backdrop of highly developed software engineering, code reuse has been widely recognized as an effective strategy to significantly alleviate the burden of development and enhance productivity. However, improper code citation could lead to security risks and license issues. With the source codes of many pieces of software being difficult to obtain, binary code similarity analysis (BCSA) has been extensively implemented in fields such as bug search, code clone detection, and patch analysis.

DNS Zone Transfer
DNS zone transfer, also sometimes known by the inducing DNS query type AXFR, is a type of DNS transaction. It is one of the many mechanisms available for administrators to replicate DNS databases across a set of DNS servers. A zone transfer uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for transport, and takes the form of a client–server transaction. The client requesting a zone transfer may be a secondary server requesting data from a primary server, historically referred to as master and slave. The portion of the database that is replicated is a zone.

Impact of Innovation-Oriented Human Resource on Enterprises’ Performance
A successful human resource management (HRM) system is necessary for any business organization to manage its human resources effectively. In order to retain, attract, and add to shareholder value, the implementation of innovative HRM practices is needed. Productive staff retention issues continue to place stress on SME business organizations. Furthermore, turnover costs, i.e., costs related to recruitment and training have become a pressing management concern. Comprehensive research is required to identify key innovative HRM practices that can boost firm performance and employee satisfaction.

3D Photorealistic Human Body Modelling and Reconstruction Techniques
The continuous evolution of video technologies is now primarily focused on enhancing 3D video paradigms and consistently improving their quality, realism, and level of immersion. Both the research community and the industry work towards improving 3D content representation, compression, and transmission. Their collective efforts culminate in the striving for real-time transfer of volumetric data between distant locations, laying the foundation for holographic-type communication (HTC).
