Patent number: 11948115Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically assessing and monitoring information security effectiveness using collected indicia of sensitive content and indicia of security measure information for a plurality of networked organizational assets/systems to provide respective asset/system value at risk ratings. Elements of the system include automated asset discovery, automated hosting provider and location discovery, collection of information harvested from public sources and, optionally non-public sources, analysis of the collected information against public, non-public, and proprietary sources, and/or mathematical models used to infer broader security program conclusions and to rank asset/system values at risk. Estimates of values at risk are used to prioritize allocation of security measures.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: RiskRecon Inc.Inventors: Kelly Thomas White, Michael Vance Fowkes, Jesse Duane Card, Andrew James Menzel

Patent number: 8457859Abstract: A method for preserving battery operation and life during vehicle post idle shutdown, such vehicle having a delayed accessory power mode operative when an ignition state of the vehicle is in a non-engine running condition while an ignition switch of the vehicle is in the ON position to supply accessories in the vehicle the battery. The method includes: detecting whether the vehicle has been in an post idle shutdown condition and brake pedal not pressed and ignition state unchanged; and placing the vehicle in the delayed accessory power mode after detecting that the vehicle has been in an post idle shutdown condition and while the ignition switch is in the ON position.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2008Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Bradley Allen Drogosch, Anthony Dwayne Cooprider, Karl William Wojcik, Ronald Patrick Brombach, Ryan Edwin Hanson, Daniel James Card

Patent number: 8154383Abstract: A system and method for providing keypad information to a user for a keypad coupled to an exterior portion of the vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving a first radio frequency (RF) signal from a first transmitter and increasing a first count in response to detecting the first RF signal. The method includes receiving a second RF signal from a second transmitter and increasing a second count in response to detecting the second RF signal. The method includes comparing the first count to a first predetermined count and comparing the second count to a second predetermined count. The method includes transmitting the keypad information to the display device based on at least one of the comparison of the first count to the first predetermined amount and the comparison of the second count to the second predetermined amount.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2008Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Ronald Patrick Brombach, Mark Christian Aaron, Lisa Therese Boran, Daniel James Card

Patent number: 7530422Abstract: A steering system with reduced coupling between a position overlay unit and a torque overlay unit may include a remote valve assembly for controlling a hydraulic assist force or an electric motor for providing torque overlay and electric assist to a rack of a rack and pinion steering system. In one embodiment, the position overlay unit may provide the assist force and the torque overlay unit may provide a motor command signal to the motor of a differential positioned on a steering shaft. In another embodiment, the position overlay unit may provide the motor command signal and the torque overlay unit may provide the assist force. In either embodiment, the position overlay unit may include variable ratio gain that uses a position signal to output a variable ratio command.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2005Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Farhad Bolourchi, Michael J. Augustine, Brian J. Magnus, Jon D. Demerly, Sanket S. Amberkar, Suat A. Ozsoylu, James Card, Karen Boswell

Patent number: 6941478Abstract: A method and system for providing protection from exploits to devices connected to a network. The system and method include a component for determining whether an encapsulation has been applied to an attachment associated with a message and unencapsulating such encapsulated attachment, and a component that performs at least one decompression of the attachment when the attachment is compressed. If it is determined that the message, including the attachment, is to be scanned, a component is included that determines whether a header, body, and/or attachment of the message includes exploits. A device that receives messages that are directed to the network employs the components above to provide exploit protection for at least one of the messages.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2002Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignee: Nokia, Inc.Inventors: James Card, Gregory J.

Publication number: 20050015599Abstract: The invention provides a two-phase hash value matching technique in message protection systems. This invention further improves the performance of message protection systems by avoiding computations associated with sophisticated signature hash value (SSHV) where possible. A message protection system that implements the two-phase hash value matching technique caches rough outline hash values (ROHVs) of previously scanned objects. The system can roughly distinguish one object from another using ROHVs. The system performs an initial check using ROHVs before performing the relatively time-consuming computations associated with SSHVs.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2003Publication date: January 20, 2005Applicant: Nokia, Inc.Inventors: Bing Wang, James Card, Gregory Smith, Robert Scott

Publication number: 20040267837Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for updating network appliances using urgent update notifications. The network appliances periodically initiates connection to “poll” updates from the update server and the update server collects IP addresses from the connections and updates an IP address log. The update server obtains updates for the network appliances and determines whether a particular update is urgent. When an urgent update is available, the server delivers an urgent update notification (UUN) to each known network appliance through an existing port used for messaging. Each network appliance receives the UUN and distinguishes it from other messages. In response to the UUN, each network appliance automatically connects to the server, obtains the urgent update and installs the urgent update.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2003Publication date: December 30, 2004Applicant: Nokia Inc.Inventors: Bing Wang, Anson Lee, Felipe Albertao, James Card, Robert P.
