Patent number: 9871877Abstract: A computer system enables users of an Internet application (such as a web site or a mobile application) to specify that they wish to be members of one or more groups. The computer system provides the user with information about activities performed by other users who are members of the same group as the user. For example, the computer system may inform a user of the web pages currently being viewed and/or recently viewed by other users who are members of the same group(s) as the user. Examples of other information that the computer system may inform the user about include amount of time spent by other users in the same group on particular web pages, content shared by those users, and products purchased by those users. Groups may be created by the users themselves and/or by the administrators of the Internet application.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Evergage, Inc.Inventors: Karl Wirth, Greg Hinkle, Chris Phelan

Patent number: 9213566Abstract: In one embodiment, a mechanism to implement security in process-based virtualization is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes maintaining a security policy for a process-based virtualization system, initializing a virtual machine (VM) in the process-based virtualization system, assigning a security label to the VM, and enforcing the security policy on the VM based on the security label of the VM in order to isolate the VM from other VM's in the process-based virtualization system.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2008Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: James Morris, Daniel J.

Patent number: 9011186Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical terminal element comprising a base element with at least one terminal section and at least one socket section which has at least one contact arm for contacting a plug-in contact which can be introduced into the socket section. In a contact region in which contacting of the inserted plug-in contact takes place, the contact arm is divided into at least two partial contacts. Also, the electrical terminal element comprises an additional spring which surrounds the base element in the region of the socket section and which has at least one additional spring arm which at least in the contact region cooperates with the contact arm, so that the latter can be deflected against a return force of the additional spring arm.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2013Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Karl Wirth, Oliver Gugutzer, Juergen Lausch

Publication number: 20050048196Abstract: A method for controlling a fluid delivery system that includes a controllable pressure regulating device, a pressure sensor, a flow meter, and a controller. Initial values of a compensation factor and a cracking pressure are established, and a pressure of the fluid at each of a plurality of time increments occurring during periods while the fluid is dispensed is measured. A volume of the fluid dispensed during a first period, an average pressure at the time internals during the first period, and an actual average flow rate during the first period are determined. Then the average pressure value, the average flow rate value, a new compensation factor and a new cracking pressure are used to determine a theoretical flow rate for controlling the pressure regulating device and producing a pressure corresponding to the target flow rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2003Publication date: March 3, 2005Inventors: Akihiro Yanagita, Raymond Guzowski, Kishore Lankalapalli, Karl Wirth, David Bruce

Publication number: 20050048195Abstract: A method of controlling a dispensing system (14) to dispense a viscous material (10) onto a workpiece (12) at an actual dispensing rate within a minimum deviation of a target dispensing rate is provided. The method includes dispensing the viscous material (10) onto the workpiece (12) during first (T1) and second (T2) time periods and measuring a pressure of the viscous material (10) after each of a plurality of time increments (ti) within the time periods (T1,T2). A theoretical volume of the viscous material (10) dispensed during each of the time periods (T1,T2) is determined based on the pressure measurements (P). An actual volume of the viscous material (10) dispensed during the first (T1) and second (T2) time periods is also measured. The theoretical and actual volumes are then compared to determine first (f1) and second (f2) new values for a compensation factor (f).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2003Publication date: March 3, 2005Inventors: Akihiro Yanagita, Raymond Guzowski, Kishore Lankalapalli, Karl Wirth, David Bruce
