Patent number: 9537974Abstract: Systems, methods and media are provided for collaborative caching of files in a cloud storage directory. One method includes providing, at a cloud storage server having a cloud storage directory, an interface configured for forming one or more groups. Each group has a plurality of members. The method also includes monitoring the cloud storage directory including a plurality of files that is shared amongst members of a working group and, upon detecting a file activity related to one of the plurality of files, updating a profile for the file. The method further includes determining using the updated profile whether to distribute the file to the group members by applying a policy to the updated profile. The method also includes distributing the file to the group members by downloading the file to cloud storage devices associated with the group members when it is determined to distribute the file.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2013Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Crimson CorporationInventor: Ian James McLean

Publication number: 20150221092Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for evaluating and modeling fibrous structures from one or more images. The methods and systems allow for robust, independent, and accurate quantification of fiber orientation in complicated structures, such as the undulating, interweaving, and multidirectional fibers of the human cornea. In addition, the methods and systems can be used to study, repair, and perform quality control on existing biological and industrial structures that include fibers (e.g., carbon nanotubes). Some embodiments can be used to predict the properties (e.g., strength, contrast, and material degradation) of and engineer new biological and industrial structures with fibers (e.g., synthetic corneas).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2014Publication date: August 6, 2015Inventors: Yair MEGA, Charles A.

Publication number: 20150074744Abstract: Disclosed embodiments of a data protection mechanism can provide secure data management. In particular, the disclosed embodiments provide secure data management mechanisms that can control transfer of data items so that contents of protected data items are not accessible to non-authorized parties. For example, the disclosed system can prevent an application from storing a protected file using a new file name. As another example, the disclosed system can prevent an application from sending a protected file to another computing device over a communication network.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2013Publication date: March 12, 2015Applicant: APPSENSE LIMITEDInventors: Ian James MCLEAN, Paul DELIVETT

Publication number: 20140337408Abstract: Systems, methods and media are provided for minimizing data downloads. One method includes providing a virtual view of a list of files remotely stored in a cloud storage server. The method also includes detecting a user request for file data associated with a file selected from the virtual view and inspecting a local cache associated with the selected file to determine whether the requested file data already exists in the cache. The method further includes displaying the file data from the cache when it is determined that the cache already includes the file data. When it is determined that the cache does not include the file data, the method also includes generating a client request for the file data, sending it to the server, receiving the requested file data from the server, updating the cache using the file data received from the server; and displaying the requested file data.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2013Publication date: November 13, 2014Inventors: Antony Workman, Ian James McLean

Patent number: 8730118Abstract: A biconical antenna driven by an equal-delay transformer is provided herein with a bifurcating ground plane. According to one embodiment, the biconical antenna comprises a pair of cone-shaped elements and a conducting ground plate. The cone-shaped elements are arranged back-to-back to one another and aligned along a first axis. The conducting ground plate is arranged between the cone-shaped elements in a plane perpendicular to the first axis. As described herein, the bifurcating ground plane provides the decoupling needed to eliminate the anomalous undulations, which tend to occur in the antenna response at odd-integer average quarter-wave frequencies.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2011Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: TDK CorporationInventor: James McLean
