Patent number: 8838714Abstract: A filter mechanism for unwanted e-mail messages uses a downloadable central source (1, 2) of filter rule data. User reports of received unwanted e-mail messages are relayed back to the central source of the filter data and used to automatically update that filter data. An algorithmic approach to identifying characteristics of unwanted e-mail messages may be applied based upon the preponderance of predetermined words within an e-mail message or characteristics of the addressee list. If an e-mail message is identified as suspect, but not definitely unwanted, then it may be encapsulated within a HTML document and sent to its addressee together with buttons (28) allowing the recipient to provide feedback in the form of votes as to whether or not that e-mail message is unwanted. This recipient feedback may be used to establish a new local rule.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2012Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: McAfee, Inc.Inventor: Matthew Thomas Hart

Patent number: 8688500Abstract: Techniques for assessing a resiliency level in an information technology system and architecting the information technology system in accordance with the resiliency level are disclosed. An estimated resiliency level may be estimated from different system characteristics to obtain an estimated resiliency level for the information technology system. The cost and the degree of effort to design for the information technology system may be estimated from the estimated resiliency level. The resiliency level may be further determined from different system factors. Consequently, a specification for a resiliency feature is obtained by accessing a set of resiliency guidelines based on the resiliency level and a technology theme. The resiliency feature may then be applied to the information technology system.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2008Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Christopher Thomas Hart, Roger Michael Callahan, Meera Sunderam Rao, Susan McClung, William Dean Peterson, Gerald Robert Silves

Publication number: 20100230871Abstract: A method of sintering a ceramic material comprises increasing the temperature of the ceramic material to a first predetermined temperature and maintaining the temperature of the ceramic material at the first predetermined temperature for a predetermined time period to increase the grain size of the ceramic material. Increasing the temperature of the ceramic material to a second predetermined temperature, decreasing the temperature of the ceramic material to a third predetermined temperature to freeze the grain size of the ceramic material and maintaining the temperature of the ceramic material at the third predetermined temperature for a third predetermined time period to densify the ceramic material. Finally decreasing the temperature of the ceramic material to ambient temperature. The method increases the density of the ceramic material. Used for electrolyte layers of solid oxide fuel cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2007Publication date: September 16, 2010Applicant: ROLLS-ROYCE FUEL CELL SYSTEMS LIMITEDInventors: Gary John Wright, Nigel Thomas Hart, Michael Bernhard Jorger, Gerard Daniel Agnew

Publication number: 20070254681Abstract: A method and device for transmitting at least one short messaging service message to at least one wireless device are disclosed. The method comprises receiving at least one short message service message request associated with a short message service message. The short message service message is destined for reception by a wireless device (106). Prior to receiving the request, a short message service center (114) determines if a wireless device (106) is registered with a registrar (210) associated with a session initiation protocol network for communicating over a packet data network (102). The short message service message is transmitted to the wireless device (106) through the session initiation protocol network communicating over the packet data network (102) in response to the request and with the determination that the wireless device (106) is registered with the registrar (210).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2006Publication date: November 1, 2007Applicant: MOTOROLA, INC.Inventors: Robert Horvath, Susan Urbina, Thomas Hart

Publication number: 20070207464Abstract: The invention provides a method of diagnosing a disease or a predisposition to contract a disease by assaying for mutations of uromodulin (UMOD) within a test subject or patient. The presence of a mutation in the UMOD supports a diagnosis of a disease or a predisposition to contract a disease within the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2005Publication date: September 6, 2007Applicants: University of Pittsburgh of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education, Wake Forest UniversityInventors: Thomas Hart, Patricia Hart, Michael Gorry, Anthony Bleyer

Publication number: 20070142071Abstract: A core network element (102) is configured to facilitate establishment of a first type of wireless communication resource, such as a dedicated channel, to facilitate communication with first communication target. The core network element detects a first message using a second type of wireless communication resource, such as a common channel, where the first message is a part of the request for the first communication resource. The core network element also detects within the first message a second message requesting establishment of a first type of wireless communication resource with the at least first communication target. As the result of the first and second messages, the first type of communication resource is established with the at least first communication target, such as a push-to-talk mobile station. The target mobile station will respond with a message indicating that it is either unavailable or not unavailable.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2005Publication date: June 21, 2007Inventors: Thomas Hart, Ronald Crocker, John Harris

Publication number: 20070105564Abstract: A page request (112) is received. When a user preference is not up-to-date, a non-acceptance message (116) is appended to a page response (114) and channel assignment is altered when the page response (114) includes the non-acceptance message (116).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2005Publication date: May 10, 2007Inventors: John Harris, Ronald Crocker, Thomas Hart

Publication number: 20070058671Abstract: A receiving buffer (110) in communication with a processing circuit (150) stores (310) received packets of data while the processing circuit (150) strips (320) the frames of data from the packets. The stripped frames are stored (330), and the processing circuit (150) creates and stores (340) reformed packets using the frames. Preferably, the processing circuit (150) creates the reformed packets according to one or more certain predefined functions of one or more conditions monitored by a condition monitor (130) which indicate the possible size of the next available radio frame in which the packets are wirelessly transmitted. Then, the processing circuit (150) sends the reformed packet that ideally matches the size of the radio frame to be sent with the radio frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2005Publication date: March 15, 2007Inventors: Thomas Hart, Ronald Crocker, John Harris
