Abstract: An inventory machine learning process can be applied iteratively. The inventory machine learning process can be applied by a computing device. The inventory machine learning process can include determining similarity scores between demand profiles for individual parts and group centers for similarity groups of parts. The inventory machine learning process can include assigning individual parts into the similarity groups using similarity scores. The inventory machine learning process can include calculating representative demand profiles for each similarity group and determining whether the representative demand profile meets a threshold. When the threshold is met, inventory parameters can be determined for each similarity group based on the inventory machine learning process.

Abstract: A wireless network security system including a system data store capable of storing network default and configuration data, a wireless transmitter and a system processor. The system processor performs a network security method. An active defense request signal is received, typically from an intrusion detection system. The received request signal includes an indicator of an access point within the wireless computer network that is potentially compromised. In response to the received an active defense of the wireless network is triggered. The triggered active defense may be on or more of transmitting a jamming signal, transmitting a signal to introduce CRC errors, transmitting a signal to increase the difficulty associated with breaking the network encryption (typically by including in the signal packet appearing legitimate but containing randomized payloads, or transmitting a channel change request to the potentially compromised access point.

The system processor identifies a wireless device for tracking based on behavior through a combination of dynamic operational and security assessments derived using data from the system data store. It receives and stores data from a subset of the set of wireless receivers. It then calculates and outputs the position of the identified wireless device based upon the received data.

Scan data associated with scanning one or more wireless network channels based upon a scan pattern is received. Each wireless channel has a designation of primary or secondary with at least one channel having the secondary designation. A determination is made as to whether anomalous activity is present on a selected wireless channel designated as secondary. If anomalous activity is determined to be present, at least one scanning parameter of the selected channel is altered.

Abstract: This application is directed to systems and methods for adaptive monitoring of a wireless network with bandwidth constraints. A data unit from a wireless node is received. When a bandwidth constraint is satisfied, the received data unit is buffered. When the bandwidth constraint is not satisfied, the received or buffered data unit is transmitted to a monitoring processor. In some instances, downsampling, data discard and data aggregation can occur during the buffering process.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for automated detection of one or more wireless network policy violations and/or enforcement of such policies. A wireless network policy violation is detected. Associated with the detected violation are one or more wireless network attributes. A responsive corrective action is triggered which is based at least in part upon the detected violation, the associated wireless network attributes or combinations thereof. The corrective action can in some instances include a notification to a user or further system. In addition to, or instead of, a notification, the corrective action can include an attempt to configure one or more devices in the wireless network to correct, in whole or in part, the detected violation.

Abstract: Apparatus for a cable television subscriber to log onto a computer network with a modem over an upstream path using a USERID and password. The network validates the subscriber USERID and subscriber password with a stored database of valid USERIDs and associated passwords. After the USERID and password are validated, the modem then provides it electronic serial number to the network for validation against a stored database of authorized serial numbers. Upon additional validation of the modem's serial number, the subscriber is authorized to use the network.

Abstract: An asymmetrical network for coupling customer-premises Internet hosts such as personal computers to the Internet. The head end of a CATV system has a high-bandwidth connection to the Internet. The down link connecting the personal computers to the Internet is the cables provided by the CATV system; the up link is a telephone connection to the head end. A router is connected to the down link by means of a RF modem, to the up link by means of an analog modem, and to a LAN which is connected to the Pcs. The router routes IP packets for the hosts that are received on the CATV cable to the hosts via the LAN; it routes IP packets from the hosts that are destined for the Internet to the head end via the telephone line. The asymmetrical network conserves IP addresses and addresses on the CATV cable by dynamically allocating the IP addresses for an RF modem's hosts and an address on the CATV cable for the RF modem in response to a request made by the RF modem via the telephone line.
