Patent number: 11206699Abstract: Network devices can be registered to access a network using known host devices to thereby simplify the device registration process. The host device can be an administrator's device that is already registered and authorized to vouch for another user desiring to register his or her device. Alternatively, the host device can be the user's previously registered device and can be used to register the user's additional devices.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2015Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: QUEST SOFTWARE INC.Inventors: Jake Seigel, Derek Jury, Sohail Ali

Patent number: 10956247Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for collecting and transmitting diagnostics information via a diagnostic information operation. The diagnostic information operation begins with a system periodically writing diagnostic information such as diagnostic errors and warnings to non-volatile local storage contained within the system. Upon detection of a failure, the user activates an NFC-enabled device (such as a mobile device) and positions the NFC-enabled device within NFC range of the failed system. The failed system then communicates the diagnostic information stored within the non-volatile local storage to NFC-enabled device.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: QUEST SOFTWARE INC.Inventors: Jake Seigel, Sohail Ali, Derek Jury

Patent number: 10709951Abstract: A portable shield made for individuals who practice boxing, martial arts, or any combat sport. The portable shield comprises a central striking area, a resilient neck-like striking area, a head-like striking area that are suitable for kicking and/or punching. The portable shield also comprises holding arms for steering the shield and a spring within the resilient neck-like striking area for allowing movement of the head-like striking area when it is stricken by a user/athlete. The head-like striking area, the resilient neck-like striking area and the central striking area are covered with padding material to prevent injuring the user/athlete when kicking and/or punching.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Inventor: Mohammad Sohail Ali Khan

Patent number: 10248924Abstract: A network includes a workflow management system coupled to an administrator device, and servers coupled to a user device. A network change auditing system receives and stores workflow definitions from the workflow management system that are associated with respective workflows provided by the servers. The network change auditing system receives and stores activity events from the servers that are associated with instructions from user devices to the servers. The network change auditing system associates a first subset of the activity events with a first workflow based on the first subset of the activity events being defined by a first workflow definition. The network change auditing system receives an identification of a first activity event from an administrator device and, in response, provides an identification of the first workflow and at least one second activity event in the first subset of the activity events for display on the administrator device.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2016Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: QUEST SOFTWARE INC.Inventors: Derek Alfred Jury, Sohail Ali, Jake Seigel

Patent number: 9881172Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is performed by a computer system. The method includes monitoring events in relation to files stored at multiple network nodes and, responsive to the monitoring, detecting that a new file has been created from an existing file. The method further includes accessing a stored file-family model of the existing file, the stored file-family model comprising interconnected nodes, wherein the interconnected nodes represent a plurality of overlapping file variants such that one of the interconnected nodes represents the existing file. In addition, the method includes logically connecting the existing file and the new file in the stored file-family model. The method also includes determining a primary file variant in the stored file-family model and, responsive to a determination that the existing file is not the primary file variant, notifying one or more users.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2016Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: Quest Software Inc.Inventors: Jake Seigel, Sohail Ali, Bashar Alhassani

Publication number: 20170102938Abstract: In some implementations, a software application may be changed from a standard mode to a tutorial mode, decoupling a user interface of the software application from a standard mode portion of the software application that provides a standard functionality and coupling the user interface to a tutorial mode portion of the software application that provides a tutorial functionality. The software application may administer a test associated with a tutorial, and determine results associated with the test. The software application may determine that the results fail to satisfy a threshold, obtain data identifying a set of one or more mentors knowledgeable about the test, and display the data. The data may include contact information associated with individual mentors of the set of mentors. The software application may automatically initiate a communication session between a computing device executing the software application and a computing device associated with one of the mentors.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2015Publication date: April 13, 2017Inventors: Jake Seigel, Derek Alfred Jury, Sohail Ali
