Patent number: 8320242Abstract: An active response network tap for use in monitoring a network comprises a first device interface terminal, a second device interface terminal, a first monitor interface terminal, and a second monitor interface terminal. A tap structure is coupled to the first device interface terminal, second device interface terminal, first monitor interface terminal and second monitor interface terminal. A memory is coupled to the tap structure and configured to store data. In one aspect, the tap structure is configured to communicate full-duplex traffic between the tap structure and a monitor device coupled to a monitor interface terminal. In another aspect, the tap structure is configured to insert data from a monitor coupled to the first monitor interface into the traffic between the first device and the second device. Advantages of the invention include the ability to provide monitor access to a network while also supporting communication with other network devices.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2005Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Net Optics, Inc.Inventors: Eldad Matityahu, Robert E. Shaw, Stephen H. Strong, Dennis A. Carpio

Patent number: 7599301Abstract: A communications network tap, comprises a first terminal and a second terminal adapted to couple the tap in-line in the network and communicate data packets with network devices. A heartbeat generator is configured to generate a heartbeat signal, and a heartbeat insert circuit coupled to the first terminal and the heartbeat generator and configured to insert the heartbeat signal into data packets. A third terminal is coupled to the heartbeat insert circuit and adapted to couple the tap to a network monitor and communicate data packets with network monitor. A heartbeat remove circuit is coupled to the third terminal and configured to receive data packets from a network monitor and remove the heartbeat signal from the data packets. A heartbeat detector coupled to the heartbeat remove circuit and configured to detect whether the data packets include the heartbeat signal, and if not, to generate an alarm signal. A switch is coupled to the second terminal and configured to transmit data packets onto the network.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2005Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Net Optics, Inc.Inventors: Eldad Matityahu, Robert E.

Patent number: 7522543Abstract: A high-speed communications network tap includes a first terminal and a second terminal adapted to couple the tap in-line in the network and communicate data with network devices. A duplicator is coupled to the first terminal and the second terminal and configured to duplicate the data as a copy of the data. A processor is coupled to the duplicator and to a third terminal, and is configured to receive the copy of the data from the duplicator and to provide the data to the third terminal. The third terminal is adapted to couple the tap to a network monitor and send data to the network monitor. Advantages of the invention include the ability to duplicate high-speed communication network data for monitoring in an essentially zero delay.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2005Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Net Optics, Inc.Inventors: Eldad Matityahu, Robert E. Shaw, Philip J. Gentile

Patent number: 7499412Abstract: An active packet inspection device for a communications network, comprises a first terminal and a second terminal each adapted to couple the appliance in-line in the network and communicate data packets with network devices. A packet processor is coupled to the first terminal and second terminal and configured to normalize the data packets. A network search engine coupled to the packet processor and the memory, and configured to compare the data packets with the stored signatures, and when a match is found and other specified conditions are met, to perform an action identified in an associated rule. In one aspect, the network search engine includes a network search engine controller and a network search engine table including a memory configured to store a plurality of replicated signatures. Advantages of the invention include the ability to perform deep packet inspections actively on a communications network at high-speed.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2005Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: Net Optics, Inc.Inventors: Eldad Matityahu, Robert E. Shaw, Khalid Masodd, Ali-Moosa R. Syed, Siuman Hui, Bhagyashri Bhagvat, Anis ur Rahman

Patent number: 7486624Abstract: A single-usage network tap monitors network information flow over a particular connection. Instead of requiring a tap for each analytical device, by incorporating elements that regenerate, spread, and coordinate the timing of the signal, multiple, simultaneous, and parallel analytical devices can monitor a particular network connection through one tap, It incorporates four amplifiers preferably manufactured on the same IC die with high-impedance input terminals connected directly to the two conductors of a gigabit Ethernet local area network digital transmission line so as not to load or otherwise upset its impedance or other parameters. The output terminals of the operational amplifiers are connected to and match the input impedance of the digital transmission protocol Gigabit analyzer. The gain of the operational amplifiers is arranged so as to replicate at the input of the analyzer the signals appearing on the Gigabit local area network transmission line with uninterruptible power supply.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2003Date of Patent: February 3, 2009Inventors: Robert E. Shaw, Eldad Matityahu

Patent number: 5664585Abstract: Method and apparatus for removing tie elements from hands of tobacco leaves on a conveyor belt involve a rotating drum having radially emergent cutting blades that contact the tie elements without contacting the belt. The axle of the drum is disposed at an angle to the direction of belt travel, and the blades are disposed at a compensatory angle with respect to the axle, whereby the drum provides an advancing effect on the leaves, yet the blades cut along the mid-rib of the leaves.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 1996Date of Patent: September 9, 1997Assignee: MacTavish Machine Manufacturing Co.Inventors: Sam Levy, Robert E. Shaw

Patent number: 5370688Abstract: An encapsulated gel breast prosthesis and method of manufacturing therefor is provided wherein a nipple/areola member and gelled breast body are disposed within an inner skin and outer skin which define the exterior shape of the breast prosthesis. The nipple/areola member has a shape, color and hardness simulating the natural shape, color and hardness of a human breast. The encapsulated gel breast prosthesis is fabricated by forming an outer skin and an inner skin. The outer skin is shaped to simulate the natural contour of a woman's breast and includes a region corresponding to the nipple and areola of the breast. A nipple/areola member having a shape, color and hardness, which simulates the natural shape, color and hardness of a woman's nipple and areola is disposed between the outer and inner skins which are then sealed together along their peripheries. This forms a capsule with the nipple/areola member enclosed therein.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 1993Date of Patent: December 6, 1994Assignee: Spenco Medical CorporationInventors: Michael W. Schulz, Robert E. Shaw
