Publication number: 20240095895Abstract: Systems and methods integrate different portions of a design review, such as files from a variety of different sources, into an interaction environment for review and interaction by a number of reviewing parties. The reviewing parties interact through an interface that is different from a native software of the files. An automated design review may be performed to evaluate a common rendering, formed from the files, for one or more conflicts, including interferences or version errors.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Ryan Albright, Jordan Levy, William Andrew Mecham, William Ryan Weese, Benjamin Goska, Aaron Richard Carkin, Michael Thompson

Patent number: 9876672Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a network are described. A view of current state of the network is maintained where the current state of the network characterizes network topology and network constituents, including network entities and network elements residing in or on the network. Events are announced that correspond to changes in the state of the network and one or more network elements can be configured accordingly. Methods for managing network traffic are described that ensure forwarding and other actions taken by network elements implement globally declared network policy and refer to high-level names, independently of network topology and the location of network constituents. Methods for discovering network constituents are described, whereby are automatically configured. Routing may be performed using ACL and packets can be intercepted to permit host to continue in sleep mode. The methods are applicable to virtual environments.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2015Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: NICIRA, INC.Inventors: Martin Casado, Keith E. Amidon, Peter J.

Publication number: 20150212201Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes a method and system for enabling detection of signal reflection from a target designated by a pulse laser spot generated by a low-power laser designator. A signal comprising true signal portions reflected from said target and noise is received and sampled and a first value or a second value is assigned to each sample. The assigned (ith) values in K pulse rate intervals are summed to obtain respective summed values. One or more candidate clusters are identified from among the summed values and a final candidate cluster is selected from among said one or more candidate clusters. The final candidate cluster is located with respective samples of an incoming pulse rate interval, thereby detecting an area within said signal which comprises the true signal portions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 4, 2013Publication date: July 30, 2015Inventors: Uri Karazi, Benjamin Levy, Valery Heymann

Patent number: 8966035Abstract: In general, the present invention relates to a virtual platform in which one or more distributed virtual switches can be created for use in virtual networking. According to some aspects, the distributed virtual switch according to the invention provides the ability for virtual and physical machines to more readily, securely, and efficiently communicate with each other even if they are not located on the same physical host and/or in the same subnet or VLAN. According other aspects, the distributed virtual switches of the invention can support integration with traditional IP networks and support sophisticated IP technologies including NAT functionality, stateful firewalling, and notifying the IP network of workload migration. According to further aspects, the virtual platform of the invention creates one or more distributed virtual switches which may be allocated to a tenant, application, or other entity requiring isolation and/or independent configuration state.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2010Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Nicira, Inc.Inventors: Martin Casado, Paul Ingram, Keith Eric Amidon, Peter J.

Patent number: 8054451Abstract: A system that includes a laser designator configured to continuously designate a target with a pulsed laser spot. The system includes a sensor and associated processing system configured to receive a reflection of the laser spot, convert the received energy to plurality of signals, processing the signals for detecting true reflected signals and process the true reflected signals for generating target related action. The sensor and associated processor are configured to detect the true signals notwithstanding an inherent low Signal/Noise ratio of below 4 of the received signals from due to low pulse power of the laser designator and distance to target.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2007Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd.Inventors: Uri Karazi, Benjamin Levy, Raphael E.

Patent number: 7669321Abstract: A test site is incorporated on a circuit board having a set of test connections passing through a test via on respective test connection layer, the test connection layers including (1) a first layer adjacent to a target layer, and (2) a second layer spaced apart from the target layer with the first layer therebetween. The test via is back-drilled from the direction of the second layer to remove undesired via metallization, breaking the test connections of all the layers through which it passes, and the continuity of the test connections is measured to determine a pattern of broken and non-broken test connections resulting from the back-drilling. The pattern of broken and non-broken test connections is examined to ascertain the actual depth of the back-drilling in relation to the target layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2006Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: John Benjamin Levy, John Martin, Farhad Pakravan

Publication number: 20060242180Abstract: The invention is a process, system, and workflow for extracting and warehousing data from semi-structured documents in any language. This includes, but is not limited to, one or more of methods for: the automatic building of text mining term models; the optimization or evolution of such text mining term models; the implementation of document specific (or company specific) memory; and the tying or linking of the extracted data, or metadata, once placed in a target electronic document, to the machine readable, underlying source document, thus providing verification and provenance. The process preferably incorporates a wizard-based method for producing pattern recognition text mining term models to extract data from text. The invention also includes a system, method and workflow for handling a subsequent document of similar design and structure, specifically the automatic extraction of target elements and addition of the same to a database.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2004Publication date: October 26, 2006Inventors: James Graf, Vladimir Koroteyev, Eduard Mikhaylov, Elliot Bricker, Benjamin Levy, Augustinus Wong
