  • Patent number: 9843934
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting public networks may include (1) calculating, based on packet information collected from a set of client devices, a count of unique client devices communicating with a local area wireless network over a period of time, (2) determining that the count of unique client devices exceeds a predefined security threshold number of unique client devices, (3) estimating, based on determining that the count of unique client devices exceeds the predefined security threshold number, that the local area wireless network corresponds to a public wireless network, (4) receiving a request for information indicating whether the local area wireless network corresponds to a public wireless network, and (5) transmitting, in response to the request, a network packet indicating that the local area wireless network has been flagged as the public wireless network. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9756505
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for on-demand provisioning of access-point accounts may include receiving, at an access point, a first request from an unknown guest to access a secured network. The guest may not yet have an account with the access point that allows the guest to access the secured network, and the first request may include authentication information that was generated from a credential of the unknown guest that is required by the access point to provision the account for the guest. The computer-implemented method may further include (1) receiving a second request that includes the credential from an administrator of the secured network to provision the account for the guest using the credential, (2) provisioning the account for the guest using the credential, and (3) enabling the guest to access the secured network using the account for the guest. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9730075
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for detecting illegitimate devices on wireless networks may include (1) generating a fake network identification string that uniquely identifies a fake wireless network, (2) transmitting a request to connect to the fake wireless network, (3) receiving, in response to the request, a response from a network device that indicates the fake wireless network is available, and (4) determining, based on receiving the response that indicates the fake wireless network is available, that the network device is illegitimate. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9699191
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for controlling content for child browser users may include (1) identifying one or more indicators that a browser session user is a child, (2) calculating a session score indicating a likelihood that the browser session user is a child, (3) determining, based at least in part on the session score being above a threshold, that the browser session user is a child and therefore content controls should apply to a browser session of the child, and (4) initiating one or more content control actions. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9697660
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for verifying user attributes may include (1) receiving a request to verify an attribute of a user who claims to be a particular person, (2) determining that the attribute can be verified using a trusted record that is associated with the particular person, (3) determining that the trusted record is associated with a vehicle to which the particular person has access rights, (4) confirming that the user has physical access to the vehicle by performing an access-validation check, and (5) in response to confirming that the user has physical access to the vehicle, using the trusted record to verify the attribute of the user. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9699140
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for selecting identifiers for wireless access points may include (1) receiving a request to establish an identifier for a configurable wireless access point, (2) identifying an existing access-point identifier that is used to identify at least one additional wireless access point, (3) determining a physical location of the configurable wireless access point, (4) verifying that the existing access-point identifier is not being used within a predetermined proximity of the physical location of the configurable wireless access point, and (5) assigning the existing access-point identifier to the configurable wireless access point. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20090299464
    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for reducing the risk of late thrombosis associated with drug eluting stent therapy. The stents described herein have polymeric blend coatings that can be tailored to have specific degradation times once implanted into the vasculature. The polymeric blends can have at least two polymers with different weight average molecular weights, thereby giving them degradation times that can tailored depending on the weight average molecular weights of the various polymers in the blend. The coatings can have bioactive agents dispersed on or within them which can be eluted in sync with the degradation time of the blended polymeric coating.
