Patent number: 11818025Abstract: An alert system and method are provided to identify and characterize real-time information transmission anomalies in high-frequency global and local traceroute data. The system includes active network sensors and/or collector devices, which collect traceroute data associated with transmissions to different points in a computer network and provide the traceroute data to a master server. The traceroute data is obtained by the active network sensors by sending probing data packets to numerous computing target devices located locally with respect to the target device and/or globally. The master server determines one or more anomalies from the received traceroute data and characterizes the anomaly in terms of type, severity, location, affected Domain Name System (DNS) server and/or Internet Service Provider (ISP).Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Andrew Wesley Hobgood, Seth Jonathan Brown, James Harold Cowie

Patent number: 7262747Abstract: A method for using Augmented Reality (AR), in conjunction with a real or simulated thermal imager. A primary application is to train emergency first responders. Particularly, the system uses a thermal imaging camera or standard video camera, and tracking system to provide a tracked viewpoint in an AR environment. The augmented portions of the environment can consist of fire, smoke, extinguishing agent, or other emergencies. This allows for inexpensive, flexible, and realistic on-site training of fire fighting, damage control, search and rescue, and other first responder techniques using thermal imaging.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2006Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Information Decision Technologies, LLCInventors: John Franklin Ebersole, Andrew Wesley Hobgood, John Franklin Ebersole, Jr.

Patent number: 7071898Abstract: A method for displaying otherwise unseen objects and other data using augmented reality (the mixing of real view with computer generated imagery). The method uses a motorized camera mount that can report the position of a camera on that mount back to a computer. With knowledge of where the camera is looking, and its field of view, the computer can precisely overlay computer-generated imagery onto the video image produced by the camera. The method may be used to present to a user such items as existing weather conditions, hazards, or other data, and presents this information to the user by combining the computer generated images with the user's real environment. These images are presented in such a way as to display relevant location and properties of the object to the system user.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2005Date of Patent: July 4, 2006Assignee: Information Decision Technologies, LLCInventors: Andrew Wesley Hobgood, John Franklin Ebersole, Jr., John Franklin Ebersole

Patent number: 7046214Abstract: A wireless or extra-long-tethered augmented reality (AR) system and method, where the user wears some or all of the equipment necessary to perform the simulation. Various arrangements are presented that can be selected based on the needs of the system, such as the number of users and type of tracking equipment. Most of the discussion is optimized to a firefighter training system, but the disclosure is applicable to most any other application of wireless AR.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2005Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: Information Decision Technologies, LLCInventors: John Franklin Ebersole, Jr., Andrew Wesley Hobgood, John Franklin Ebersole

Publication number: 20030132283Abstract: The application describes a method for utilizing smart card technology with computer-based training systems. Training and simulation data, including, but not limited to, personal and/or team training profiles, instructor information, training parameters, and simulation scenarios can be stored on the smart card for retrieval prior to future training activities. New training results can be added to existing results to track individual trainee or team progress. The computer-based training may be graphical, completely or partially simulated, or textual. The cards may also store information in the form of a database, which can be used to increase the flexibility of training scenarios.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2002Publication date: July 17, 2003Inventors: Andrew Wesley Hobgood, John Franklin Ebersole, John Franklin Ebersole
