Publication number: 20240126552Abstract: Processor-guided execution of offloaded instructions using fixed function operations is disclosed. Instructions designated for remote execution by a target device are received by a processor. Each instruction includes, as an operand, a target register in the target device. The target register may be an architected virtual register. For each of the plurality of instructions, the processor transmits an offload request in the order that the instructions are received. The offload request includes the instruction designated for remote execution. The target device may be, for example, a processing-in-memory device or an accelerator coupled to a memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: JOHN KALAMATIANOS, MICHAEL T.

Patent number: 11038860Abstract: In virtualized environments a method of determining authorization to a resource cannot use a hardware specific identifier, such as a MAC address. As a result upgrading a virtual host may cause licenses associated with that host to be invalid, even though the upgraded virtual host should be authorized. Authentication methods and systems are disclosed such that a key may be shared with a second host along with a license file and, provided at least the second host has a key associated with its system identifier and a key associated with a license file, access to a licensed resource may be authorized.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Extreme Networks, Inc.Inventors: William T.

Patent number: 10948425Abstract: An x-ray inspection system includes an x-ray source, a sample support for supporting a sample to be inspected, where the sample support includes a support surface extending in a horizontal plane, an x-ray detector, and a sample support positioning assembly for positioning the sample support relative to the x-ray source or x-ray detector. The sample positioning assembly includes a vertical positioning mechanism for moving the sample support in a vertical direction, orthogonal to the horizontal plane, and a first horizontal positioning mechanism for moving both the sample support and the vertical positioning mechanism in a first horizontal direction. This arrangement allows for accurate movement of the sample to different imaging positions in the horizontal plane and a low power vertical positioning mechanism to be used.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2015Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Nordson CorporationInventors: William T.

Patent number: 10084797Abstract: A first login request of a user is received from a first login window. The first login request comprises a login name, a user identifier, and a challenge. The challenge is generated and received from a second login request to a product in a second login window. The user copies and pastes the challenge into the first login window. A central control system determines if the login name and the user identifier are valid. If the login name and user identifier are valid, a response to the challenge is generated based a private key and is displayed in the first login window. The response to the challenge is copied from the first login window and pasted as part of a second step the second login process. The second login process verifies the response to the challenge using a public key to allow the user access to the product.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2016Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: Extreme Networks, Inc.Inventors: Rifaat Shekh-Yusef, William T.

Patent number: 10051067Abstract: In order to provide a more realistic system activity score, an activity monitor gathers activity scores from a plurality of processes on one or more communication systems. An activity score defines an activity level of a particular process. For example, how many cache hits per second are occurring in a communication system or how may a HTTP sessions a web server is handling per second. Because the activity scores are gathered from individual processes within the communication system(s), a more realistic understanding of the overall activity of the communication system(s) can be determined. The gathered activity scores are summed to produce a system activity score. The system activity score is then sent to a user. The user can then utilize the system activity score to better manage the communication system(s).Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2014Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Avaya Inc.Inventors: Kurt H.
