Patent number: 8635336Abstract: A method for categorizing network traffic content includes determining a first characterization of the network traffic content determining a first probability of accuracy associated with the first characterization, and categorizing the network traffic content based at least in part on the first characterization and the first probability of accuracy. A method for use in a process to categorize network traffic content includes obtaining a plurality of data, each of the plurality of data representing a probability of accuracy of a characterization of network traffic content, and associating each of the plurality of data with a technique for characterizing network traffic content. A method for categorizing network traffic content includes determining a characterization of the network traffic content, determining a weight value associated with the characterization, and categorizing network traffic content based at least in part on the characterization of the network traffic content and the weight value.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2011Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Fortinet, Inc.Inventor: Michael Xie

Patent number: 8060640Abstract: A method and system for combining SIP requests with SIP responses is provided. When a server receives a request from a client, a message combining system of the server sends a response to the request that includes the content of a request that the server would normally send to the client in a separate request. The message combining system of the server composes a response as it would normally and adds the content of the subsequent request to the response. The server then sends the combined response and request to the client. When the client receives the response, it retrieves and processes the combined request.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2005Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Dhigha Sekaran

Patent number: 7970852Abstract: A system and method for migrating a client partition between computer electronic complexes (CECs) while maintaining access to a Storage Area Network. An active and inactive world wide port name are generated for a client virtual channel adapter. A query is sent to a name server from the VIOS on the source CEC. The name server creates a list of small computer system interface (SCSI) targets that are available. The list is used by the VIOS on the destination CEC to verify whether any physical ports in the destination CEC have access to the same SCSI target. The client partition may be migrated between a source CEC and a destination CEC and the access to the Storage Area Network access may be maintained.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2008Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James P. Allen, Michael Paul Cyr, James A. Pafumi, Vasu Vallabhaneni

Patent number: 7293088Abstract: Determining the location of a radio tag or client station of a wireless network, and the location of coverage holes by receiving from a plurality of wireless stations of the wireless network path loss information of the path loss of one or more location frames received at the respective wireless stations. The location frames transmitted by the radio tag or client station having a pre-defined frame structure. The radio tags and client stations use a common infrastructure for transmitting a location frame configured for radiolocation by path loss measurement. The common infrastructure includes a pre-defined protocol common for both radio tags and client stations for transmitting information for reception by the plurality of stations of the wireless network for radiolocation. The pre-defined protocol includes using the location frame having the pre-defined frame structure.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2005Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Bretton Lee Douglas, Timothy S. Olson, David E. Halasz, John Z. Deng, Arnold M. Bilstad, Sheausong Yang, Richard D. Rebo, Jonathan S. Leary, Daryl A. Kaiser

Patent number: 6834308Abstract: A system and method for identifying media content presented over a media playing device. The media content, such as, such as audio and/or video, is either available digitally or digitally sampled. The media content is sampled to generate a media sample or analytical representation of the media content. The media sample is compared to a collection of sampled (or represented) media content to identify it and to ascertain information related to the sample. This media content-related information is then presented to the user via a display means on the media player. The media player then presents the user specific and related actions that are based upon the information presented and allows the user to directly execute their choice of actions.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2000Date of Patent: December 21, 2004Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventors: Vance E. Ikezoye, James B. Schrempp

Patent number: 6789119Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program product for emulating a persistent connection using http. According to one embodiment, the method includes receiving an empty get from a first client; receiving a get from a second client, the get containing data to be sent to the first client; and sending a response to the first client, in response to the empty get, the response containing the data. According to another embodiment, the method includes receiving, from a client, a get containing first data to be sent to an application server; sending the first data to the application server; sending an ack response to the client in response to the get; receiving a response from the application server, the response containing second data to be sent to the client; waiting for an empty get from the client; receiving an empty get from the client; and sending the second data to the client in response to the empty get.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 1999Date of Patent: September 7, 2004Assignee: WebEx Communication, Inc.Inventors: Min Zhu, Shi Yan, Shangde Zhou
