Patent number: 11936529Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for managing a network of nodes with delta processing. A network with a plurality of connected nodes can be stored, the nodes representing entities of the network. One or more deltas to the network that indicate updates to the connections among the plurality of nodes can be received. The deltas can be added to a queue. The connections between the nodes of the network can be updated using a delta from the queue. The network can be processed after updating the connections between the nodes to generate a vector for a given node. One or more paths for the given node can be identified based on the generated vector.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Paul Woodward, Simon Alexander Tucker, Stephen Michael Ginns

Patent number: 10909258Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for providing secure data management for a network of nodes. A network with a plurality of connected nodes can be stored, the nodes representing entities of the network. A request can be received from a first node of the network to retrieve data about a second node of the network. A query can be generated to retrieve the requested data. The query can be filtered based on permissions for the first node stored at a trusted store. The fields from the results of the filtered query can be redacted based on the permissions for the first node. And the redacted results can be provided to the first node.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Paul Woodward, Simon Alexander Tucker, Stephen Michael Ginns

Publication number: 20070216593Abstract: The invention relates to a wireless communication device that is coupled to an energy source, such as a battery, capacitor, or solar cell. The wireless communication device is coupled to a slot in the energy source to form a slot antenna for wireless communication. The slot antenna receives communication signals from an interrogation reader or other communication device. The wireless communication device may be attached to a device or container for purposes such as communicating information regarding identification, manufacturing, tracking, and the like. The wireless communication device may also be coupled to the energy source for power.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2007Publication date: September 20, 2007Applicant: MINERAL LASSEN LLCInventors: Ian Forster, Patrick King, Michael Ginn

Publication number: 20070070867Abstract: An optical disc has a security feature in the form of an RFID tag that communicates with a voltage controlled optical modifier layer in the optical disc. In the presence of an interrogation signal, the RFID tag allows the optical disc to be used normally by outputting a voltage to the optical modifier layer. In the absence of an interrogation signal, the optical modifier layer prevents a laser from reading from or writing on the optical disc. Other embodiments are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2006Publication date: March 29, 2007Inventors: Ian Forster, Michael Ginn

Patent number: 5772403Abstract: A control system 10 for monitoring operation of a high pressure plunger pump 12 includes a microprocessor-based controller 40 and a plurality of sensors. Inlet pressure transducers 48 output electrical signals to the controller at intervals of less than 1 millisecond, indicative of the instantaneous inlet pressure to the pump. The controller 40 shuts down pump operation if a number of instantaneous pressure signals within a selected time period exceeds a predetermined value, or if the average inlet pressure signal exceeds a preselected value. The control system 10 is substantially tamperproof, and stored data indicative of tampering, pump startup, pump shutdown, and pump alarm conditions are recorded in a memory for subsequent retrieval and analysis. The serial interface 82 allows communication between the system operating computer 68 and a setup/processing computer 84, which may optionally be remote from the control system by use of a modem.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 1996Date of Patent: June 30, 1998Assignee: Butterworth Jetting Systems, Inc.Inventors: Charles B.
