  • Patent number: 11238187
    Abstract: A method to model a complex system of pipes. The model takes into account the physical processes in a tree-type piping system and provides for an accurate modeling of a real world tree-type piping system. In a preferred embodiment, a computer program is provided for analyzing models of dry pipe systems. The computer program includes a user interface and a computational engine. The user interface allows a model of a dry pipe system to be defined and the computational engine determines a liquid flow time through the model of the dry pipe system. The computational engine provides a verification of the liquid flow time in a model of a referential dry pipe system within 20% of an actual liquid flow time in the referential dry pipe system.

  • Patent number: 10454866
    Abstract: Embodiments provide IP address partitioning features that can be used to source outbound email communications, but the embodiments are not so limited. In an embodiment, a computer-based method operates to remove blocked or potentially misused IP addresses from a partition and/or move good or reputable IP addresses from other partitions to account for volumetric shortfalls. A method of one embodiment operates to repair removed IP address reputations as part of recycling and reusing IP addresses. A system of an embodiment is configured in part to remove misused IP addresses from one or more partitions, source reputable IP addresses from other partitions, and/or repair and reuse IP addresses as needed. Other embodiments are included.

  • Patent number: 9412096
    Abstract: Techniques to detect spam using language and a country of origin of an e-mail may include receiving an e-mail message for a recipient, detecting a country of origin for the e-mail message and detecting a language of the e-mail message. A technique may further include determining a country frequency with which the recipient communicates with the country of origin by e-mail, and a language frequency with which the recipient communicates in the language by e-mail. A technique may assign a first score to the message according to the country frequency, and a second score to the message according to the language frequency. The scores may used to determine whether the e-mail message is spam. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 9258260
    Abstract: A messaging application filters electronic messages based on domain attributes without a reputation. A message with a uniform resource identifier (URI) is received and determined to not be included within a trusted or a block list. A total score is computed from weighted scores assigned to factors associated with the message. The message is evaluated for an unsolicited message determination by comparing the total score against a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 8612189
    Abstract: A method of and a computer program for analyzing models of dry pipe systems. The computer program includes a user interface and a model generator in communication with the user interface. The method and computer program provide for modeling a referential dry pipe system as a plurality of interconnected nodes, the nodes corresponding to a pipe connector, the interconnection between the nodes corresponding to a pipe device. The plurality of nodes can define a dry portion and a wet portion with the wet portion including a liquid source and the dry portion including a plurality of interconnected pipes to define a volume of gas. The nodes in the dry portion can define a set of nodal devices open to ambient. The method and computer program can provide for computing fluid time based parameters to simulate the liquid flowing from the wet portion to determine at least flow time of the liquid from the wet portion to the open devices.
