Publication number: 20240121262Abstract: A classifier detects anomalous activity and models a pattern of life of network entities through a series of machine learning models cooperating with multiple response and training instances, which are served by a scalable cloud platform that receives data associated with processes from multiple endpoint agents. The classifier spins up the multiple response instances to support the detection of anomalous activity through the series of machine learning models and the multiple training instances to support the creation and training of the series of machine learning models modeling of the pattern of life of network entities. The classifier spin ups the multiple response instances and the multiple training instances to automatically scale an amount of response instances and training instances needed to respond to a current data load of the data associated with the processes coming from the endpoint agents connected to the network.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Arjun Singh Gill, Maximilian Noka, Davide Bernardi, Robert Hutchinson

Patent number: 11902322Abstract: The network reachability module maps and dynamically tracks network reachability of network addresses and/or devices. The network reachability module can map and dynamically track network reachability of a response-orchestrator engine, via communicating and cooperating with the response-orchestrator engine. The network reachability module has a tracking module to 1) monitor network traffic and 2) keep a list of known devices and/or known subnets on the network, which is dynamically tracked and updated as previously unknown devices and subnets on the network are detected. A trigger module generates a spoofed transmission and/or response communication, supported by a network protocol used by the network. The spoofed transmission and/or response communication can be used to map network reachability of i) network devices, ii) network addresses, and iii) any combination of both, which either 1) can receive or 2) cannot receive protocol communications from a host for the network reachability module in the network.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Darktrace Holdings LimitedInventors: Robert Hutchinson, Alex Markham, Krystian Szczur

Patent number: 8710435Abstract: An improved sample chamber for laser assisted spectroscopy integrates valve mechanisms into the sample drawer, permitting the sample chamber to automatically bypass, purge and resume flow as the sample drawer is opened and closed to insert samples for processing. Integrating valve mechanisms into the sample drawer in this manner eliminates the need for external valves to be operated to bypass, purge and resume flow, thereby increasing system throughput and reducing system complexity.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2012Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Electro Scientific Industries, Inc.Inventors: Robert Hutchinson, Leif Summerfield, Shane Hilliard, Jay Wilkins

Publication number: 20060278268Abstract: A flapper valve and a method of making the same that does not require bearing assembly. More particularly, the flapper valve includes a shaft having one or more flap portions and one or more bearing portions molded in place on the shaft as a unitary structure. The bearing portions are separated from adjacent flap portions and/or the shaft thereby forming a bearing that rotates independently of flap portions on the shaft. Accordingly, the flapper valve with mold-in-place bearings does not require bearings to be separately assembled or installed prior to installation of the valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2006Publication date: December 14, 2006Inventors: Robert Hutchinson, Pradeep Pinto
