  • Patent number: 10091006
    Abstract: A user device obtains a set of one or more public key certificates for a server received from a directory service, and a current public key certificate of the server received from the server. The user device compares the current public key certificate received from the server with the set of public key certificates received from the directory service. If the current public key certificate of the server matches one of the public key certificates in the set of public key certificates for the server, the authenticity of the server is confirmed, and communications are permitted between the user device and the server. Communications between the user device and the server may be prevented unless the current public key certificate from the server matches a public key certificate in the set of public key certificates received from the directory service.

  • Patent number: 10089193
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided which perform a file level restore by utilizing existing operating system components (e.g., file system drivers) that are natively installed on the target computing device. These components can be used to mount and/or interpret a secondary copy of the file system. For instance, the system can instantiate an interface object (e.g., a device node such as a pseudo device, device file or special file) on the target client which includes file system metadata corresponding to the backed up version of the file system. The interface provides a mechanism for the operating system to mount the secondary copy and perform file level access on the secondary copy, e.g., to restore one or more selected files.

  • Patent number: 10088243
    Abstract: This invention provides a thermal energy battery having an insulated tank containing a multitude of densely packed plastic tubes filled with a phase-change material (PCM, such as ice) that changes from solid to liquid and vice-versa. Energy is stored when the PCM transitions from liquid to solid form, and released when the PCM transitions back from solid to liquid form. The tubes are arranged vertically, span the height of a well-insulated tank, and are immersed in heat transfer fluid (HTF) contained within the tank. The HTF is an aqueous solution with a freezing point temperature below the freezing point temperature of the chosen PCM. The HTF remains in liquid form at all times during the operation of the battery. Diffusers located allow the HTF to be extracted uniformly from the tank, pumped and cooled by a liquid chiller situated outside the tank and then and inserted back into the tank.

  • Patent number: 10089458
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for opening unverified content in a separate, disposable virtualized environment using a temporary virtual machine (VM). In one example, the disclosed method includes intercepting a request to open/access unverified content from a third-party remote server, and comparing the particular information/attributes of the unverified content against predetermined criteria. Then, the user device may connect using a remote presentation protocol to the temporary VM in the separate, disposable environment such that the output of the unverified content may be transported to and displayed in the separate, disposable environment. The connection with the temporary VM may be terminated and the separate, disposable environment may be wiped clean to reduce the risk of malicious code in the unverified content.
