Patent number: 10300450Abstract: The present disclosure provides apparatuses, systems, and methods involving a spotter for depositing a substance on a submerged surface. The spotter comprises an outlet cavity defined at least in part by a spotting orifice, a first opening, and a second opening. The spotter also comprises a first conduit fluidly coupled to the first opening and a second conduit fluidly coupled to the second opening. The spotter is adapted so that fluid flowing through the first conduit and the second conduit is communicated among the first opening, the second opening, and a submerged deposition surface when the sealing orifice is sealed against the submerged deposition surface to form a deposition spot on the submerged deposition surface. The submerged deposition surface is within a liquid such that the liquid covers the deposition spot upon removal of the orifice from the deposition surface.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2013Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Carterra, Inc.Inventors: Bruce K. Gale, Joshua W. Eckman, Adam Miles, Christopher Morrow, James Smith, Sriram Natarajan, Mark Eddings

Patent number: 8839427Abstract: A mitigation service may be used to mitigate a network attack in a network including a group of mitigation devices. Datagrams, intended for a customer that is subject of a network attack, may be received by at least one of the mitigation devices based on an anycast address associated with the mitigation devices. Each of the mitigation devices is addressable via the anycast address. The received datagrams may be processed to remove malicious datagrams and leave legitimate datagrams. The legitimate datagrams may be forwarded to the customer via a tunnel configured between an address associated with the customer and the anycast address associated with the mitigation devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2005Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Christopher Morrow, James Gill
