Patent number: 11913596Abstract: The present disclosure provides a binocular/tripod adapter to releasably couple a binocular lens barrel to a photographic-type tripod. The system provides an offset mount to assist in centering the binocular assembly over the tripod. The system is hinged at the halfway point, thus allowing the device to be located centrally on the binoculars. The system does not require the binoculars to be modified from its original state.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Inventors: Preston Owens, Brent Jacob

Patent number: 11709785Abstract: Aspects of a storage device including a memory and an encryption core are provided. The storage device may be configured for providing secure data storage, as well as one or more post-processing operations to be performed with the data. The encryption core, which may be configured to decrypt data, may control execution of one or more post-processing operations using the data. A read command received from a host device may include a tag associated with data identified by the read command. When encrypted data is retrieved from memory according to the read command, the encryption core may decrypt the encrypted data and provide the decrypted data for post-processing based on the tag. A corresponding post-processing operation may return a result when executed using the decrypted data. Rather than raw data identified by the read command, the result may be delivered to the host device in response to the read command.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: WESTERN DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Robert Ellis, Brent Jacobs, Kevin O'Toole

Patent number: 10069685Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards employing a configuration management system to report one or more assumptions based on whether or not prerequisites for a resource are satisfied. The configuration management system may determine at least one prerequisite that corresponds to a provided resource. The prerequisites may indicate what the resource requires in order to put the system into the target state. If the prerequisites are unsatisfied, then assumptions regarding the system may be determined and reported to a user of the system. The assumptions may include at least a state transition that upon occurrence puts the system into the target state. If the system is in a non-operational mode, such that state actions and state transitions are simulated, rather than being executed, the system may be enabled to perform other actions as if the prerequisites were satisfied and the state transition occurred, even if it is not.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2017Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Chef Software Inc.Inventors: Daniel Stephen DeLeo, Adam Brent Jacob, Christopher James Brown, Marc Alan Paradise

Patent number: 9507582Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards managing application delivery over a network. Change information that corresponds to changes to an application may be provided to a delivery pipeline. The change information may be verified in part based on a static analysis of the content of the change information, compiling, and unit testing. Reviewers may be notified to approve the change information. A version of the application that includes the change information may be generated. Acceptance testing may be performed that includes provisioning computing resources in an acceptance computing environment. And, deploying a version of application that includes the change information into the acceptance computing environment. If the acceptance testing passes, a shipping operation may be enabled pausing the delivery pipeline until an authorized user activates the shipping operation restarting the delivery pipeline and deploying the application to one or more computing environments.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2015Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Chef Software, Inc.Inventors: Adam Brent Jacob, Seth Yosef Falcon, Lamont Curtis Granquist, Jon Morrow, Christopher Brown, Kevin Smith

Publication number: 20070245406Abstract: The aspects of the present invention provide a computer implemented method, an apparatus, and a computer usable program code for identifying a service processor with current setting information. First stored information for a service processor is retrieved from a first memory in the first service processor. Second stored information for the service processor is retrieved from a second memory in a data processing system to which the service processor is connected. The first stored information is compared with the second stored information to form a comparison as to whether the service processor was previously connected to the data processing system and to determine whether the service processor was a last service processor to fully communicate with system firmware in the data processing system. The service processor has current setting information if the service processor was previously connected to the data processing system and was the last service processor to fully communicate with the system firmware.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2006Publication date: October 18, 2007Inventors: Gary Anderson, Joseph Armstrong, Brent Jacobs, Ajay Mahajan

Publication number: 20050060516Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for implementing atomic data tracing in a processor system including an auxiliary processor unit (APU) coupled to a central processor unit (CPU). The auxiliary processor unit (APU) processes a trace instruction. When a trace instruction is identified by the APU, the APU signals the CPU with a pipeline stall signal for stalling the CPU and checks for an enabled trace engine as specified by the trace instruction. When the trace engine for the trace instruction is enabled, then the trace data is written into a trace buffer. The APU signals the CPU with an op done signal for allowing the CPU to continue with instruction processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2003Publication date: March 17, 2005Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kraig Bottemiller, Brent Jacobs, James Pieterick
