Publication number: 20230355860Abstract: A filter adaptor includes a body that defines an internal passageway disposed between an inlet and an outlet, the passageway configured to permit passage of a fluid in a first direction defined by the inlet and the outlet; and a filter disposed within the passageway and oriented to define a volumetric direction that is different than the first direction. Another filter adaptor includes a body that defines an internal passageway disposed between an inlet and an outlet, and a filter disposed within the passageway, wherein the filter comprises a gelling absorbent material that, when in a dry state, is permeable to gas and that, when contacted by an aqueous fluid, converts to a gel. Such filter adaptors may be used for negative pressure wound therapy, dressing, or as syringe filters.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Manjunath Penagondla, Colin Wood

Patent number: 10049168Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and computer program products for modifying and processing host webpage data are described. The host webpage data intended for receipt by a browser which will interpret the host webpage data and generate a host webpage document therefrom. The host webpage data is modified using second and third webpage data before being sent to the browser. The second webpage data is arranged to cause a frame to be generated within the host webpage document, the generated frame comprising a second webpage document which is associated with a different domain to the host webpage document. Furthermore, the third webpage data is arranged to cause the browser to allow access to functionality of the host webpage document by the second webpage document which would otherwise be blocked.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2012Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: OPENWAVE MOBILITY, INC.Inventors: Richard Mischook, Colin Woods

Patent number: 9430384Abstract: Instructions and logic provide advanced paging capabilities for secure enclave page caches. Embodiments include multiple hardware threads or processing cores, a cache to store secure data for a shared page address allocated to a secure enclave accessible by the hardware threads. A decode stage decodes a first instruction specifying said shared page address as an operand, and execution units mark an entry corresponding to an enclave page cache mapping for the shared page address to block creation of a new translation for either of said first or second hardware threads to access the shared page. A second instruction is decoded for execution, the second instruction specifying said secure enclave as an operand, and execution units record hardware threads currently accessing secure data in the enclave page cache corresponding to the secure enclave, and decrement the recorded number of hardware threads when any of the hardware threads exits the secure enclave.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Carlos V Rozas, Ilya Alexandrovich, Ittai Anati, Alex Berenzon, Michael A Goldsmith, Barry E Huntley, Anton Ivanov, Simon P Johnson, Rebekah M.
