Patent number: 11934860Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing network experience shifting, and, in particular embodiments, using either a roaming or portable hypervisor associated with a user or a local hypervisor unassociated with the user. In some embodiments, a network node in a first network might receive, via a first network access device in a second network, a request from a user device to establish roaming network access, and might authenticate a user associated with the user device, the user being unassociated with the first network access device. Based on a determination that the user is authorized to access data, content, profiles, and/or software applications that are accessible via a second network access device, the network node might establish a secure private connection through a hypervisor or container communicatively coupled to the first network access device to provide the user with access to her data, content, profiles, and/or software applications.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: CenturyLink Intellectual Property LLCInventors: Charles I. Cook, Kevin M. McBride, Matthew J. Post, William R. Walker

Patent number: 9612268Abstract: Ground Potential Rise (GPR) systems and methods with depth sensing measure the GPR between the ground grid and the remote earth. Methods and systems described herein may provide a GPR measurement to an existing distance protection. A GPR system may comprise a set of potential transformers. The set of potential transformers may be coupled to different ground rods driven into the earth at different depths, respectively. One wire of the high voltage side of the potential transformer may be coupled to the ground grid of a substation, and the second wire of the potential transformer may be coupled to an insulated wire that is coupled to a ground rod or multiple of ground rods bonded together. The low voltage side of the potential transformer is used to connect Distance Relays, Voltage Relays, DFR or Alarms.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2013Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: San Diego Gas & ElectricInventors: Girolamo Rosselli, Phil A. Patton, William J. Cook

Patent number: 5533016Abstract: A ring is routed through a subset of nodes of a communication network by first providing a branch-decomposition having a pattern relating to separations of the network. The branch-decomposition can be performed using internal two-separations, internal three-separations, eigenvector separations and pushing. If the branch-decomposition has a branch-width less than or equal to a predetermined constant value, then the branch-decomposition is used to determine costs associated with portions of the ring passing through separations of the network by examining matchings corresponding to edges of the branch-decomposition and selecting a lowest cost ring by examining the matchings and choosing a lowest cost set of matchings containing the subset of nodes. The branch-decomposition can be provided once for a fixed network and then costs can be determined and the ring route selected repeatedly for different subsets of ring nodes and different edge costs. The edge costs can be negative.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1994Date of Patent: July 2, 1996Assignee: Bell Communications Research, Inc.Inventors: William J. Cook, Paul D. Seymour

Patent number: 5008030Abstract: A stable, acidic disinfectant all-purpose liquid cleaning composition, free of detergent builders and substantially free of organic solvents, comprising a mixture of acid stable water-soluble and water-dispersible nonionic surfactants, organic acid and a water soluble, acid stable disinfectant compound in an aqueous medium. The composition spreads quickly and provides good detergency with efficient penetration of soils while maintaining a high level of disinfectant activity. A soil releasing agent may also be included in the composition in order to provide easier cleaning of the treated surface during subsequent cleaning operations. The composition is particularly effective for cleaning soap scum and mineral deposits from hard surfaces such as grout, ceramic tile, stainless steel and glass.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 1989Date of Patent: April 16, 1991Assignee: Colgate-Palmolive Co.Inventors: William J.
