  • Patent number: 8180867
    Abstract: A method of analyzing configuration parameters of IEDs across one or more networks in an electrical system and automatically determines whether any anomalies exist in the configuration parameters for a selected group of IEDs. A list of all IEDs in the electrical system along with configuration templates including firmware and program versions maintained in a master list are stored in central database on a server communicatively coupled to the IEDs through the networks. Configuration parameter values from the IEDs and from any newly added IEDs are scanned and compared against the configuration templates. Anomalies in the parameter values are identified and highlighted to the user, who may decide to accept the anomaly as expected or change the anomalous parameter value for one IED or a group of IEDs. The master list is updated with any user-approved changes to parameter values. Periodic polling of configuration parameters is also supported.

  • Patent number: 8135857
    Abstract: A multi-chassis router allows an administrator to distribute configuration data from a single user interface. Additionally, the multi-chassis router presents a software image consistent with that of a standalone router and uses configuration data syntax that is consistent with that of a standalone router. The multi-chassis router automatically distributes and validates relevant configuration data at each chassis within the multi-chassis router. In effect, an administrator does not need to account for the multiple chassis configuration, and an administrator familiar with the configuration data syntax for a standalone router can use that knowledge to configure the multi-chassis router.

  • Patent number: 8117314
    Abstract: A method for providing remote access to a computer environment provided by a virtual machine includes the step of receiving authentication information associated with a user of a client machine. Based on the received authentication information, a computer environment provided by a virtualized operating system and already associated with the user is identified. A connection is established between the client machine and the identified computing environment.

  • Patent number: 8095676
    Abstract: The present invention is to prevent user's attribute information from being distributed, in the case where it is to be determined whether or not the attribute information (for example, age, address, and the like) of the user satisfies a service providing condition, when a communication session is established across multiple session managing servers. According to the present invention, attribute information of a user who is using a client logging in a session managing server, and attribute information of a service operating on the client are managed, a condition (SEP) to establish a communication session among multiple session managing servers related to the session establishment is shared, and the session managing server which manages the attribute information compares the attribute information and the SEP to make an access judgment, in order to determine whether or not the communication session is to be established.
