Publication number: 20240112115Abstract: In a threat management platform, a number of endpoints log events in an event data recorder. A local agent filters this data and feeds a filtered data stream to a central threat management facility. The central threat management facility can locally or globally tune filtering by local agents based on the current data stream, and can query local event data recorders for additional information where necessary or helpful in threat detection or forensic analysis. The central threat management facility also stores and deploys a number of security tools such as a web-based user interface supported by machine learning models to identify potential threats requiring human intervention and other models to provide human-readable context for evaluating potential threats.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Beata Ladnai, Mark D. Harris, Andrew G. P. Smith, Kenneth D. Ray, Andrew J. Thomas, Russell Humphries

Patent number: 11925309Abstract: A surgical hub for use with a surgical system in a surgical procedure performed in an operating room is disclosed. The surgical hub comprises a control circuit configured to generate a first image of a surgical site from a real-time imaging source, receive a second image of the surgical site from a non-real-time image source, align the first image and the second image, generate a representation of the surgical site based on the first image and the second image as aligned, display the representation on a display screen, receive a first user selection to overlay hidden structures on the representation, receive a second user selection to manipulate the representation, and adjust the representation based on the second user selection.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Cilag GmbH InternationalInventors: Frederick E.

Patent number: 11879410Abstract: A rocket motor for a gun-fired projectile is configured stiffen the burnable propellant in the rocket motor during burning and/or protect the rocket motor from the pressure that occurs during firing of the projectile from the gun. The rocket motor may include a rigid structure that is integrated into the burnable propellant grain to stabilize the burnable propellant grain during burning of the burnable propellant grain. The rigid structure has a matrix or truss-like shape that extends into the depth of the burnable propellant grain. The rocket motor may include a baffled end cap that covers a nozzle of the rocket motor. The end cap defines a baffled path through the end cap to dampen gas flow into the nozzle and prevent particles of the gun propellant from entering the rocket motor. A rocket motor may implement the rigid structure or the baffled end cap, or both structures.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2021Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Joseph A. Carmody, Benjamin C. Hulbert, Ryan J. Paffenroth, Andrew J. Harris

Patent number: 8836266Abstract: A small motor controller (SMC) system includes a motor configured to control a position of a rotor, a sensor configured to detect position information of the rotor by detecting a feature on the rotor, the sensor including a detection zone having a first side and a second side, and a motor control unit. The motor control unit is configured to determine a position of the rotor corresponding to one of the first side of the detection zone and the second side of the detection zone based on whether the feature on the rotor is detected crossing the first side or the second side, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2012Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: The Johns Hopkins UniversityInventors: Kapil D Katyal, Matthew P. Para, Andrew J. Harris, Harry A. Eaton

Publication number: 20030158938Abstract: A mobile IP registration solution for mobile nodes (108-111) of a wireless communication system (100) eliminates the need for sending (208) solicitation messages or receiving (210) advertisement messages from foreign agents (118). A mobile node receives an IP address of a foreign agent from a control message upon roaming into a new site or zone and attempting (304) to acquire a channel. Substantially immediately upon acquiring (306) a channel, the mobile node determines (308) whether to send a proxy MIP advertisement. If not, the mobile node retrieves (310) the foreign agent IP address and forwards (312) the foreign agent IP address to a processing element (e.g., layer 3 processing element). If a proxy MIP advertisement will be sent, the mobile node retrieves (314) the foreign agent IP address and a static capabilities list associated with the foreign agent, constructs (316) a proxy MIP advertisement and forwards (318) the proxy MIP advertisement to a processing element (e.g., layer 3 processing element).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2002Publication date: August 21, 2003Inventors: Ravi Madhav K. Adatrao, Andrew J. Harris, Hania A. Yassin, James E. Eastwood
