  • Publication number: 20230308415
    Abstract: A unified network service that connects multiple disparate private networks and end user client devices operating on separate networks is described. The multiple disparate private networks and end user client devices connect to a distributed cloud computing network that provides routing services, security services, and performance services, and that can be controlled consistently regardless of the connection type. The unified network service provides uniform access control at the L3 layer (e.g., at the IP layer) or at a higher layer using user identity information (e.g., a zero-trust model). The disparate private networks are run on top of the distributed cloud computing network. The virtual routing layer of the distributed cloud computing network allows customers of the service to have private resources visible only to client devices (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20230219504
    Abstract: An attachment locks a bicycle rack and/or a bicycle to a vehicle. The attachment may have a rigid body with a first end adapted to attach to a portion of the bicycle rack and/or a bicycle, and a second end adapted for insertion into a trunk or hatch space of the vehicle. The first end may include a loop, clasp or pivot joint which attaches to the bicycle or bicycle rack. The second end may be provided with an angle section joined to the rigid body via a radius. The second end is thin and flat, to allow the second end to extend into the trunk space and remain captured in the trunk space by a closed trunk lid, without interfering with operation of the trunk lid. An anchor may extend through or project outwardly from the second end, to resist attempts to pull the attachment out of the trunk space by force. A trunk bar has a loop section and ends adapted to be secured into a trunk space.

  • Publication number: 20230074300
    Abstract: An IPsec tunnel request for establishing an IPsec tunnel from a customer router to an anycast IP address of a distributed cloud computing network is received. The same anycast IP address is shared among compute servers of the distributed cloud computing network. A handshake is performed with the customer router from a first compute server including generating security associations for encrypting and decrypting IPsec traffic. The security associations are propagated to each compute server and are used for encrypting and decrypting traffic.

  • Patent number: 10344984
    Abstract: A gas burner safety system comprises dual sensor arrays, the first array positioned proximal to the gas burner and the second array positioned proximal to a control used to turn on and off and regulate the flame of the gas burner. The first array senses the flame components such that a flame signature is obtained when no object is placed on or above the flame and a flame image is obtained when an object is proximal to the flame. By comparing the flame signature and the flame image, a central control unit operatively connected to the sensor arrays can determine the presence or absence of an object proximal to the flame. The second sensor array is positioned to detect a human hand proximal to the control. In operation, if the flame image matches the flame signature and a human hand is not detected proximal to the control, the central control unit turns off the gas burner by causing the closure of a valve in the gas supply line to the gas burner.
