Publication number: 20240154979Abstract: In one embodiment, a traffic inspection service executed by an intermediary device obtains, from a monitoring agent executed by an endpoint device, keying information for an encrypted traffic session between the endpoint device and a remote entity. The traffic inspection service provides a notification to the monitoring agent that acknowledges receipt of the keying information. The traffic inspection service uses the keying information to decrypt encrypted traffic from the encrypted traffic session. The traffic inspection service applies a policy to the encrypted traffic session between the endpoint device and the remote entity, based on the decrypted traffic from the session.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Martin Rehak, David McGrew, Blake Harrell Anderson, Scott William Dunlop

Publication number: 20240152528Abstract: The present disclosure relates to utilizing a distributed data management system to provide improved data management, redundancy, and reliability in distributed directory systems. To illustrate, a distributed data management system improves existing distributed directory systems by relocating and distributing the management of data records from a centralized cache device to the backend storage partition devices. In this manner, the backend storage partition devices become responsible for automatically pushing data record metadata and changes to the centralized cache device, which only passively redirects the incoming requests to the proper backend storage partition devices. Additionally, the backend storage partition devices automatically resolve conflicts and restore lost data if the centralized cache device or a backend storage partition device suffers from faults or device failures.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Juanya Davon Williams, Vladimir Vladimirovich Grebenik, Ruta Yeshwant Vaidya, Adolfo Francisco Ibarra Landeo, Illary Huaylupo Sánchez, Gabriel Torres Peña, Gokay Kadir Hurmali, Angus David Leeming, Dmitri Gavrilov

Patent number: 11978880Abstract: A method for forming a layered anode material includes contacting a precursor material and a first electrolyte. The precursor material is a layered ionic compound represented by MX2, where M is one of calcium and magnesium and X is one of silicon, germanium, and boron. The method further includes applying a first bias and/or current as the precursor material contacts the first electrolyte to remove cations from the precursor material to create a two-dimensional structure that defines the layered anode material. In certain variations, the method further includes contacting the two-dimensional structure and a second electrolyte and applying a second bias and/or current as the two-dimensional structure contacts the second electrolyte so as to cause lithium ions to move into interlayer spaces or voids created in the two-dimensional structure by the removal of the cations thereby forming the layered anode material.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Jeffrey David Cain, Thomas E.
