Patent number: 12149430Abstract: Network route control plane data, advertised by one or more routers on a network, is received from a passive discovery module. The passive discovery module is configured to communicate with the routers using one or more routing protocols, but not to advertise route data. The received network route control plane data is compared to network element data stored in a network element database. If the received network route control plane data is not contained in the network element database, the received network route control plane data is stored in the network element database. If the received network route control plane data is contained in the network element data database, the received network route control plane data is compared to target asset data stored in a target asset database. If the received network route control plane data is not contained in the target asset database, the received network route control plane data is stored in the target asset database.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2022Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: LUMETA CORPORATIONInventors: Bill Calvin Robinson, Jr., Mark Thomas Labbancz, Thomas Allen Price

Patent number: 11690593Abstract: An ultrasound probe has an acoustic window (10) or lens (20) through which ultrasound is transmitted and received by a transducer array (30) located behind the lens or window inside a probe enclosure. The external, patient-contacting surface (24) of the acoustic lens or window is textured. The texturing of the surface of the lens or window better retains gel spread over the lens or window for an ultrasound procedure, reduces reverberation artifacts, and diminishes the appearance of scratches on the lens or window.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Dino Francesco Cuscuna, Elizabeth Brunelle, Loriann Davidsen, Martha Gail Grewe Wilson, Jeffrey Scott Hart, Harry Amon Kunkel, III, Gerred Allen Price, James William Hackenberry

Patent number: 11163890Abstract: A self-targeting method of automated cybersecurity analysis on an operating system on a target computer. An analysis software executable defined by a core engine executable is provided to the target computer and run on the operating system shell. The analysis software executable identifies the specific operating system that is running on the target computer and then causes one or a plurality of bash scripts which correspond to the identified operating system and which have been parsed from security setting entries from a standardized guide for desired security settings. The bash scripts then automatically assess the compliance of various aspects of the target computer system with the security setting entries, generating an output that is compatible with existing viewers for entries of standardized guides.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Michael Allen Price, Ryan Scott Elder, Warren Fuchs Brodsky, James Hart Allphin

Patent number: 7937881Abstract: A decoy, typically used for hunting fowl, having a hollow body including a head, a tail and a pair of feet. The decoy includes a pair of wings mounted to the body of the decoy for multi-axis movement. A drive mechanism typically including an electric motor and a power source is positioned within the hollow body. A pair of crank members connect to the electric motor and extend outwardly from the body. A pair of link members connect the wings to the crank members whereby rotation of the crank members enables cyclic movement defined by up/down and fore/aft motion of the wings.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2008Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Inventor: Craig Allen Price

Patent number: 7490147Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for measuring the performance of a subroutine in a software application executing upon a computer system. When characterized as a method, a monitoring application operating according to the present invention first intercepts a call to a subroutine. The monitoring application then examines a system clock. If the clock is in a particular configuration, the monitoring application collects a first set of performance data. Next, the monitoring application passes control to the subroutine. When the subroutine completes, control is returned to the monitoring application. The monitoring application then collects a second set of performance data. The first and second sets of data are then compared to determine the performance characteristics of the subroutine. If the clock in not in the particular configuration, the monitoring application passes control to the subroutine in such a way that processing continues as it would if the monitoring program had never been called.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2001Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: BMC Software, Inc.Inventor: Robert Allen Price

Publication number: 20070079487Abstract: Dense, highly stable, high performance ballistic material comprises at least one woven layer of ballistic grade fiber (preferably a stack of such layers) and at least one nonwoven layer of fabric which is entangled with the woven or unidirectional layer by needle felting. The resulting core material does not require assembly of individual woven layers during subsequent manufacture of ballistic articles and exhibits excellent ballistic performance at low areal densities and thicknesses.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2006Publication date: April 12, 2007Applicant: Tex Tech Industries, Inc.Inventors: Eric Ritter, David Erb, Allen Price

Patent number: 5729546Abstract: A communication interface with an expandable multilane cell bus that enables conversion of communication traffic received over a set of low speed or narrow band communication links according to a first communication protocol into a series of communication cells according to a second communication protocol. The cell bus enables concentration of the communication cells for transfer over a high speed communication link according to the second protocol. The communication interface includes a cell bus master that polls slave service modules while transferring communication cells to the service modules over a unidirection transmit portion of the cell bus and while receiving communication cells over a unidirection receive portion of the cell bus.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 1995Date of Patent: March 17, 1998Assignee: Cisco Systems, Inc.Inventors: Amar Gupta, Joel Craig Naumann, Eduard Allen Price, Shrish K.
