Patent number: 9699055Abstract: A network monitoring and control application suitable for use by teachers and other users is implemented using wireless access points and does not require specific software to be installed on client network devices. The application uses student and class information to organize network client information. Upon receiving a monitoring request, one or more classes assigned to the teacher are identified by accessing class data. Class data is accessed to identify students assigned to the class and the client network devices used by these students. One wireless access point providing wireless network connections to at least a portion of the students' devices is selected to collect network activity information from the students' devices and presents this information to the teacher. The teacher may also use the selected wireless access point to disable students' network access or to redirect students' devices to a network resource.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2016Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Aerohive Networks, Inc.Inventors: Long Fu, Mingliang Li, Yong Kang, Adam Conway, Dean Williams

Patent number: 9645262Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: a first layer including a n+ dopant or p+ dopant; an intrinsic layer formed above the first layer, the intrinsic layer including a planar portion and pillars extending above the planar portion, cavity regions being defined between the pillars; and a second layer deposited on a periphery of the pillars thereby forming coated pillars, the second layer being substantially absent on the planar portion of the intrinsic layer between the coated pillars. The second layer includes an n+ dopant when the first layer includes a p+ dopant. The second layer includes a p+ dopant when the first layer includes an n+ dopant. The apparatus includes a neutron sensitive material deposited between the coated pillars and above the planar portion of the intrinsic layer. In additional embodiments, an upper portion of each of the pillars includes a same type of dopant as the second layer.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2014Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignees: Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLCInventors: Qinghui Shao, Adam Conway, Rebecca J. Nikolic, Lars Voss, Ishwara B. Bhat, Sara E. Harrison

Patent number: 9490318Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a three dimensional structure comprising a semiconductor material, and at least one thin film in contact with at least one exterior surface of the three dimensional structure for inducing a strain in the structure, the thin film being characterized as providing at least one of: an induced strain of at least 0.05%, and an induced strain in at least 5% of a volume of the three dimensional structure. In another embodiment, a method includes forming a three dimensional structure comprising a semiconductor material, and depositing at least one thin film on at least one surface of the three dimensional structure for inducing a strain in the structure, the thin film being characterized as providing at least one of: an induced strain of at least 0.05%, and an induced strain in at least 5% of a volume of the structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2013Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLCInventors: Lars Voss, Adam Conway, Rebecca J.

Publication number: 20160232362Abstract: Techniques are provided to allow full search for encrypted data within a database. In some embodiments, searchable data may be separated into different searchable tables in a database in such a way that encrypted data is stored as plaintext but has no usable link to other data within the source database. In some embodiments, performing a query on a particular user data may result in the retrieval of an encrypted identifier, which may then be decrypted via an encryption module. A second search based on the decrypted identifier may produce a set of relevant search results from a source table.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2016Publication date: August 11, 2016Inventor: Adam Conway

Patent number: 9313215Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods for preventing requests to access a system's resources from having a negative impact on higher priority data processing operations being performed by the system. The invention is directed to preventing the number of calls made by a merchant's applications through an application programming interface (API) for access to the lower priority services of a merchant service provider from having a negative impact on the ability of the service provider to perform the processing necessary to support higher priority services. The invention provides a user interface that may be used by a merchant or the service provider to configure the operation of a “throttle” that is designed to generate an alert when the number of calls by a merchant application for access to a specific service provider function or application exceeds a value or limit, where exceeding the value or limit may indicate a malfunction of the merchant's application or an attack by a malicious agent.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2012Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Visa International Service AssociationInventors: Avinash Kalgi, Adam Conway, Galina Skoptsova, Mark Cordell
