Patent number: 11414101Abstract: Systems and methods for mitigating damage caused by hail storms to self-driving motor-vehicles. When a self-driving motor vehicle determines or learns that a hail storm or other severe weather event may be approaching, it may seek cover under a protective structure or some other location where it might not be as exposed to the severe weather event. Depending upon the availability of suitable shelters, the self-driving motor vehicle might, for example, obtain a list of such possible shelters and apply certain factors to develop a priority list as to which shelters to seek. The self-driving motor vehicle may then drive itself to the location and remain there at least for the duration of the hail storm or other event. In some cases, the self-driving motor vehicle may evaluate the adequacy of the protective structure or other location, and may decide to seek a better protective structure or location.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Cynthia Ann Hinojosa, Andrew Jacob Contreras, Lemont Williamson, Igor Alexandre Gregorio, Stephen Anthony Young, Jonathan Edward Seaton, Chris Aaron Bodden, Shirley Elizabeth Bunton, Shayna Dickson, Ric M.

Patent number: 11326418Abstract: Method includes recovering a stimulating fluid, which includes transferring working fluid having the stimulating fluid from an operating site (102) to a current temporary processing facility (TPF) (110) that is located remotely with respect to the operating site in the geographical region. After purifying the working fluid at the current TPF (110), thereby providing the stimulating fluid, the stimulating fluid is transferred from the current TPF to an injection site (103) that is located remotely with respect to the current TPF and the operating site. The method also includes transporting fluid-handling equipment after a designated condition has been satisfied. The fluid-handling equipment is transported from the current TPF (110) to a new TPF (110). The recovering of the stimulating fluid, the transferring of the stimulating fluid, and the transporting of the fluid-handling equipment is repeated a plurality of times. The current and new TPFs are at different locations within the geographical region.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2017Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Baker Hughes Holdings LLCInventors: Harish Radhakrishna Acharya, Roger Allen Shisler, Andrew Jacob Gorton

Publication number: 20220103522Abstract: Among other things, this document describes systems, devices, and methods for executing rules in an application layer firewall, including in particular a web application firewall (WAF). An application layer firewall engine employs symbolic execution techniques that result in improved performance and efficiency. In preferred embodiments, an arbitrary firewall rule can be pre-processed to discover and define a set of one or more properties that an input must have in order for the input to have the potential to trigger the rule. By quickly examining an input for these properties, then application layer firewall can conclude that the input cannot trigger and therefore skip full execution of the rule against the input. This can be repeated for many if not all rules in a firewall ruleset. When a high proportion of the inputs have the required properties for rule-skipping, performance can be dramatically improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: Akamai Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Jacob Kahn, Yannis Drougas, Ameya Prakash Shendarkar
