Patent number: 11811774Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a cloud storage system, a request to access a file from an external application on behalf of a first user account, determining, based on one or more access control lists (ACLs) associated with a shared folder, that the external application is not allowed to access the file on behalf of the first user account, and receiving, from a user device associated with the first user account, a message authorizing the external application to access the file on behalf of the first user account. The method further includes modifying the ACLs associated with the shared folder containing the file and a subfolder, and allowing the external application to access the file on behalf of the first user account based on the user information of the first user account and the application information of the external application in the modified ACLs.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Patrick Allen Higgins, Justin Lee Hicks, Thomas Palmer Buzbee, Michael Jeffrey Procopio

Patent number: 11223624Abstract: A system and method for recursive propagating application access control relate to managing third-party application access to content files and folders on a cloud storage system. The access control system may receive an access authorization indication to grant a third-party entity access to a parent folder containing a first file, and then modify an access control rule associated with the parent folder based on the access authorization indication. The modified access control rule is propagated to a child folder of the parent folder, and thus the third-party entity is granted access to a second file in the child folder based on the modified access control rule. The second file shares a common attribute with the first file, 1 and the modified access control rule specifies the common attribute.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Patrick Allen Higgins, Justin Lee Hicks, Thomas Palmer Buzbee, Michael Jeffrey Procopio

Patent number: 9962483Abstract: Flow control devices and methods using the flow control devices are provided. In a general embodiment, a cassette includes a housing having a constrictor, a tube attached to the housing and positioned through the constrictor, and a ball positioned inside the tube. The constrictor can be constructed and arranged to prevent the ball from moving through the tube at the location proximate the constrictor. The ball can prevent fluid flow in one position and be dislodged to allow fluid flow when the cassette is positioned inside a pumping device. As a result, the cassette is designed to prevent free flow of fluid when an enteral feeding tube set is not installed in a pumping device.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2016Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: Nestec S.A.Inventors: David Woodruff West, James Allen Higgins, Seralaathan Hariharesan, Alan P. Halbert

Patent number: 9468716Abstract: Flow control devices.—In a general embodiment, the present disclosure provides a cassette (30) comprising a housing having a flow restrictor (34), and a tube (36) attached to the housing and positioned adjacent the flow restrictor. The flow restrictor may be so constructed and arranged to rotate from a first position in which the flow restrictor prevents fluid flow through the tube to a second position in which fluid is able to flow through the tube when the cassette is positioned inside a pumping device. As a result, the cassette is designed to prevent free flow of fluid when an enteral feeding tube set is not installed in a pumping device.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2010Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: NESTEC S.A.Inventors: Seralaathan Hariharesan, James Allen Higgins, David Woodruff West

Publication number: 20160301141Abstract: A communication device is provided that has two or more antenna arrays such that each array comprises two or more antenna pairs. The antenna pair includes a first antenna and a second antenna linked to a common radio. The first antenna and the second antenna receive the same incoming wireless signal and wirelessly transmit the same outgoing signal. Also provided are two or more radios, each of the two or more radios are connected to an antenna array such that each radio includes a receiver configured to receive the incoming wireless signal and a transmitter configured to transmit the outgoing signal. An interface is provided to connect to a wired communication channel to thereby interface the two or more radios to the wired communication channel. A central controller is configured to control the exchange of data between the interface and the two or more radios.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2014Publication date: October 13, 2016Inventors: Byron Del Castillo, Allen Higgins
