  • Patent number: 10212246
    Abstract: The disclosure describes a proxy server application that supports the dynamic modification of proxy rules implemented by a proxy server. The proxy rules implemented by the proxy server specify network behaviors to be performed at various points during the handling of requests from client applications. A proxy server implements the proxy rules by processing one or more user-generated network traffic filters for managing network traffic. In an embodiment, users generate network traffic filters by creating network traffic filter source code that specify processing steps to be performed by a proxy server relative to network messages the proxy server receives. In an embodiment, user-generated network traffic filters may be added, removed, reordered, or otherwise modified in a proxy server application at runtime in order to respond to current network conditions or to achieve other desired proxy configurations.

  • Publication number: 20180285402
    Abstract: A computer-implemented expertise mining system is configured to update an expertise database based on a recommender's out of office and/or auto-reply settings for a communication application, such as an email application or social media application. The expertise system obtains the recommender's auto-reply settings directly from the communication application. The auto-reply settings include message body text for out of office and auto-reply messages. The expertise system then extracts recommendation data from the auto-reply settings; and updates an expertise database based on the recommendation data extracted from the auto-reply settings.

  • Patent number: 10003509
    Abstract: To evaluate a network's performance in processing communications related to a target transaction, a set of “reference” communications corresponding to the target transaction are compared to a larger set of communications in the network in a “production” environment, to identify the occurrence of the target transaction in the production environment. Preferably, the reference communications are recorded in a laboratory environment that models the production environment, or recorded from the production environment during a period of minimal other activities. A variety of filters are used to eliminate communications in the production environment that are apparently unrelated to the target transaction, including filters based on the time-order of communications among the nodes, the size of the packets being communicated, and the content of the communications.

  • Patent number: 9892557
    Abstract: An integrated system for facilitating local treatment in an organ and capable of universally interfacing with other devices and systems is provided. The integrated system comprises an imaging system interface module configured to functionally associate with an imaging system capable of presenting to a user, through a user-interface device, parameters indicating a mode of operation of the imaging system. The imaging system interface module is configured to receive at least one of the parameters, to interpret such parameter and to allow the integrated system to assume a mode of operation according the parameter. The integrated system further comprises a treatment tool interface module, configured to receive and detect a treatment event signal from a portable treatment tool. The treatment event signal indicates a treatment event, thereby allowing establishing a time of the treatment event and thereby establishing a locality of a treatment provided to the organ by the portable treatment tool.

  • Patent number: 9841887
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques of configuring a layout of graphical objects for display. In one example process, the device detects a scroll request and determines whether the scroll request meets predetermined criteria. If the scroll request meets the criteria, the device configures the layout of graphical objects that are to be displayed once the display is scrolled so that the graphical objects are arranged on the display differently than the arrangement in which the graphical objects would have been displayed, had the layout not been configured. If the scroll request does not meet the criteria, the device forgoes the configuration of the layout of graphical objects.

  • Patent number: 9805195
    Abstract: Systems and methods using Information-invariant Data Transformation (IIDT) in the transfer of files from an un-trusted to a trusted computer system are disclosed. The IIDT alters the data representation of information, without altering the meaning of the information to a degree that is perceptible to a human consumer of that information. The data transformation operations eliminate embedded malware thereby providing secure transfer of files between the un-trusted and trusted computer systems.

  • Patent number: 9785506
    Abstract: A system and method for reducing the likelihood of concurrency errors by identifying vulnerable segments of computer code and stalling other virtual machine threads of execution. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the vulnerable segment is identified at runtime, for example in a dynamic translator. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the vulnerable segment is identified ahead of time, for example in a static translator. According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, the vulnerable segment is identified in the binary translator of a virtual machine monitor.

  • Patent number: 9560012
    Abstract: A computer network is disclosed that includes a first domain and a second domain. The second domain has a higher security classification than the first domain. The computer network also comprises a Temporal Separation Cross Domain Gateway (TSEP-CDG) having a temporal separation hardware interlock. The interlock is configured to physically prevent communication between the first and second domains. It connects with the first domain in a first state to allow the TSEP-CDG to receive data from the first domain. The TSEP-CDG executes an information-invariant data transformation (IIDT) on the received data before it is available to the second domain. The IIDT alters the representation of the data while conveying the same information, disrupting anti-malware present in the received data. The temporal separation hardware interlock is configured for connection with the second domain in a second state to allow the TSEP-CDG to transmit the transformed data to the second domain.

  • Patent number: 9548896
    Abstract: A controller implemented on computing equipment may be used to control switches in a network. End hosts and service devices may be coupled to the switches in the network. The controller may generate a virtual network topology of virtual switches and virtual routers. The controller may control the virtual routers and/or virtual switches to perform service insertion. The controller may perform service insertion by controlling the virtual routers and/or virtual switches to redirect network traffic through one or more selected service devices. The controller may determine which network traffic is to be redirected to which service devices based on a service insertion policy that identifies network traffic and services to be performed on the network traffic.
