Patent number: 11916907Abstract: Where a single networked security service supports multiple enterprises, this security service can operate as a shared source of trust so that security devices associated with one enterprise can provide authenticated, policy-based management of computing devices associated with another enterprise. For example, an enterprise firewall can advantageously manage network access for a new device based on a shared and authenticated relationship with the networked security service.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Sophos LimitedInventors: Andrew J. Thomas, Moritz Daniel Grimm, Thomas Rolf-Werner Eckert, Kenneth D. Ray

Publication number: 20230081900Abstract: Methods and systems for executing transactional schema changes at a database are provided. The method includes receiving, at a gateway node of a cluster of database nodes, a statement corresponding to a schema of a database stored by the cluster, wherein a parent transaction comprises the statement, the statement comprises a schema change operation to modify the schema, and a first version of one or more versions of a descriptor comprises the schema. The method includes generating, by the parent transaction and using one or more child transactions, a version of a synthetic descriptor comprising an updated schema with an added schema element configured to be available for the parent transaction. The method includes writing the synthetic descriptor as an updated version of the descriptor, wherein the updated version comprises the updated schema with the added schema element in a publicly available state. The method includes committing the parent transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Andrew J. Werner, Xue Zhang

Publication number: 20140222357Abstract: An intelligent electronic device IED has enhanced power quality and communications capabilities. The IED can perform energy analysis by waveform capture, detect transient on the front-end voltage input channels and provide revenue measurements. The IED splits and distributes the front-end input channels into separate circuits for scaling and processing by dedicated processors for specific applications by the IED. Front-end voltage input channels are split and distributed into separate circuits for transient detection, waveform capture analysis and revenue measurement, respectively. Front-end current channels are split and distributed into separate circuits for waveform capture analysis and revenue measurement, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2014Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: ELECTRO INDUSTRIES/GAUGE TECHInventors: Joseph Spanier, Andrew J. Werner, Frederick B. Slota, Hai Zhu, Wei Wang, Dulciane Siqueira da Silva, Erran Kagan
