Patent number: 12218977Abstract: A threat management facility detects a device on an enterprise network and determines whether the device is one of a set of managed devices for the enterprise network. When the device is not one of the set of managed devices, the threat management facility may selectively direct the device to a portal that provides support to the user of the device while the device awaits admission to the enterprise network. As the user interacts with the portal, the portal may manage admission of unrecognized devices onto the enterprise network while making efficient use of network administrator resources.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2022Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: Sophos LimitedInventors: John Edward Tyrone Shaw, Ross McKerchar, Moritz Daniel Grimm, Jan Karl Heinrich Weber, Shail R.

Publication number: 20240328492Abstract: The present invention provides for a mechanism that allows for the creation of devices and machines that function to move, position and hold relative to straight lines and parallel planes. The functions are enabled without the use of sliding surfaces or linear bearings, and, in the case of robotics, without the use of complex calculations and control systems. The mechanism of the present invention incorporates a four bar planar parallelogram linkage with the ground link fitted with at least one additional coplanar pivotable link. The additional link and one of the four bar linkage's rocker links are fitted with circular means. Crossed flexible pulling and holding means are applied in a way so that, when the additional pivotable link is moved in a direction, the connected rocker link moves in the opposite direction, and, when the additional planar pivotable link is held in a certain position, the connected rocker link is held in the same relative position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2022Publication date: October 3, 2024Inventor: Andrew Karl Knorr
