Patent number: 11386209Abstract: A computer implemented method for scanning source code files included in an application. A source code scanner identifies an assembly generated from a set of source code files. The assembly comprises assembly code and assembly metadata. The source code scanner identifies a file path for each source code file identified from the assembly. The file path is identified within the assembly metadata. Responsive to identifying the file paths from the assembly metadata, the source code scanner identifies the set of source code files within a code repository. The source code scanner scans the set of source code files to identify potential code vulnerabilities in the set of source code files. The scan omits files in the code repository that were not identified within the assembly metadata.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: ADP, Inc.Inventor: Aaron Roberts

Patent number: 9919874Abstract: A powered drive unit system of an aircraft is disclosed herein. The system may include a support structure, a plurality of motor driven tires configured to present a horizontal motive force on an object, and an axle of a tire. The axle of the tire may be retained by the support structure. The object may move relative to the static support structure. The location of an axle of the tire may be rigidly fixed in position relative to the support structure housing the axle. Normal force on the object by the tire may be created through tire compliance. The axle of the tire may be retained by the support structure. The axis of rotation of the axle may be in a substantially static three dimensional plane relative to the support structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2014Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: GOODRICH CORPORATIONInventor: Aaron Roberts

Patent number: 9878789Abstract: A power drive unit (PDU) for moving cargo relative to a cargo bay of an aircraft includes a cam shaft. The PDU also includes a lift cam coupled to the cam shaft and configured to cause the PDU to be in at least one of a raised position or a lowered position based on rotation of the cam shaft. The PDU also includes a permanent magnet motor configured to generate a cogging torque sufficient to resist rotation of the cam shaft such that the PDU remains in the raised position in response to power being removed from the permanent magnet motor.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2015Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: GOODRICH CORPORATIONInventors: Aaron Roberts, Scott Harms, Wesley K. Stegmiller, Dustin P. Scheer

Patent number: 8301711Abstract: An electronic mail (email) communications system may include a mobile wireless communications device, a wireless communications network connected to the Internet, and an Internet Service Provider (ISP) server connected to the Internet for receiving emails for a given user. The system may further include an email proxy server connected to the Internet for pushing emails from the ISP server to the mobile wireless communications device via the wireless communications network. A user computer may be connected to the Internet and may include a client email application for periodically polling the ISP server to detect new emails. The client email application may also send new email notifications to the email proxy server upon detection of new emails to cause the email proxy server to push the new emails to the mobile wireless communications device.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2011Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventor: Aaron Roberts
