  • Patent number: 11539819
    Abstract: Techniques for content inspection in a communication network, including detecting a packet in transit between a first and second endpoint, determining that content of the packet fails a content check, modifying a payload containing the content, adjusting a sequence number to account for the modification, and injecting a response message into a corresponding stream in an opposite direction. The response message may contain information relating to a reason for the rejection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 30, 2020
    Date of Patent: December 27, 2022
    Assignee: Hyannis Port Research, Inc.
    Inventors: Anthony D. Amicangioli, Andrew C. Carp, Timothy G. Field, Dominick S. Grochowina, Yura Pyatnychko, Bernard J. Rosen

  • Patent number: 10514693
    Abstract: A method of operating a mobile robot includes driving the robot according to a drive command issued by a remote operator control unit in communication with the robot, determining a driven path from an origin, and after experiencing a loss of communications with the operator control unit, determining an orientation of the robot. The method further includes executing a self-righting maneuver when the robot is oriented upside down. The self-righting maneuver includes rotating an appendage of the robot from a stowed position alongside a main body of the robot downward and away from the main body, raising and supporting the main body on the appendage, and then further rotating the appendage to drive the upright main body past a vertical position, causing the robot to fall over and thereby invert the main body.

  • Patent number: 9146558
    Abstract: A method of operating a mobile robot that includes driving the robot according to a drive direction, determining a driven path of the robot from an origin, and displaying a drive view on a remote operator control unit in communication with the robot. The drive view shows a driven path of the robot from the origin. The method further includes obtaining global positioning coordinates of a current location of the robot and displaying a map in the drive view using the global positioning coordinates. The driven path of the robot is displayed on the map.
