Patent number: 11924056Abstract: Examples of device-driven management are described. A management console can include a set of workflow objects to use in a workflow creation user interface. Workflow objects can be positioned in the workflow creation user interface area based on user manipulation. A device state criteria overlay can be painted on a connector workflow object to indicates that a branch of executable instructions corresponding to the connector workflow object is performed where a client device corresponds to the specified device state criteria.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Brian Link, Rahul Parwani

Patent number: 11855833Abstract: Examples of device-driven management are described. A management service can transmit a device-driven management workflow to a number of client devices. The device-driven management workflow can include workflow objects that define a branching sequence of instructions. The client devices can provide a corresponding plurality of completion statuses for a step of the device-driven management workflow. The management service can identify a failure of the step according to a set of failure rules, and visually emphasize the failure within a representation of the device-driven management workflow.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Rahul Parwani, Brian Link, Satish Venkatakrishnan, Mohan Guttikonda, Amogh Datar

Patent number: 11665065Abstract: Examples of device-driven management are described. A management service can generate a management console that includes a set of workflow objects to use in a workflow creation user interface. A device-driven management workflow is defined through the workflow creation user interface. The management service identifies that device-driven management workflow lacks a condition specified in a comprehensiveness definition. A workflow object for the condition specified in a comprehensiveness definition is generated for display. A user interaction incorporates the workflow object into the device-driven management workflow so that device-driven management workflow considers the specified condition.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Brian Link, Rahul Parwani

Publication number: 20220353327Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for recognizing state changes in client devices and managing the state of client devices using device-driven management workflows. A computing device can receive a state of a client device. The computing device can then determine if the received state matches an expected, compliant state of the client device. When the computing device determines that the received state does not match the expected state, the computing device can identify a remedial workflow that would bring the client device into compliance. The computing device can send the remedial workflow and an instruction to run the remedial workflow to the client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2022Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Jonathon Deriso, Saransh Bhatnagar, Rahul Parwani, Brian Link, Mohan Guttikonda, Satish Venkatakrishnan

Patent number: 11470149Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for managing the state of client devices using device-driven management workflows. A computing device can be evaluated to determine the current state of the computing device. Then, the current state of the computing device is compared to an expected state of the computing device. The expected state of the computing device may be based at least in part on a result of execution of at least one device-driven management workflow by the computing device. In response to a determination that the current state of the computing device fails to match the expected state of the computing device, the device-driven management workflow can be executed to resolve the discrepancy between the expected state and the current state.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2021Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Jonathon Deriso, Saransh Bhatnagar, Rahul Parwani, Brian Link, Mohan Guttikonda, Satish Venkatakrishnan

Patent number: 11184250Abstract: Examples of device-driven management is described. A management service can generate a management console that includes a set of workflow objects to use in a workflow creation user interface. A management workflow can be retrieved from a network service and translated to be formatted into the workflow objects. A user can select the management workflow, and the management console can be updated to show graphical representations of the workflow objects. The management service can transmit a device-driven management workflow that includes a translated version of the management workflow.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2021Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Brian Link, Rahul Parwani

Cross-flow filtration with turbulence and back-flushing action for use with online chemical monitors
Patent number: 8986552Abstract: A filtration and monitoring system. An inlet pipe provides fluid to a filter block chamber and has an inlet valve located therein configured to shut off the flow of the fluid through the inlet pipe. A filtered fluid conduit fluidically connects the filter block with the monitoring device. The outlet axis of the outlet pipe in the filter chamber is offset from the inlet axis of the inlet pipe such that the fluid undergoes a change of direction while passing through the filter block chamber thereby causing turbulent flow within the filter block chamber to reduce the buildup of filter cake on the filter element. Closing the inlet valve block, results in a back-flushing flow of fluid through the filter element from a pressure accumulator located in the filtered fluid conduit.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2010Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Mikhail Byalskiy, Brian Link -
CROSS-FLOW FILTRATION WITH TURBULENCE AND BACK-FLUSHING ACTION FOR USE WITH ONLINE CHEMICAL MONITORS
Publication number: 20120132597Abstract: A filtration and monitoring system includes an online monitoring device and a filter block having a chamber therein. An inlet pipe provides fluid to the filter block chamber and has an inlet valve located therein configured to shut off the flow of the fluid through the inlet pipe. An outlet pipe removes fluid from the filter block chamber. A filtered fluid conduit fluidically connects the filter block with the monitoring device. The outlet axis of the outlet pipe is offset from the inlet axis of the inlet pipe such that the fluid undergoes a change of direction while passing through the filter block chamber thereby causing turbulent flow within the filter block chamber. The turbulent flow within the filter block sweeps off particles that accumulate on the filter block chamber-side of the filter element to reduce the buildup of filter cake on the filter element.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2010Publication date: May 31, 2012Applicant: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Mikhail Byalskiy, Brian Link -
Patent number: 8063649Abstract: A measuring system minimizes the parasitic affects of lumped circuit elements. The system includes two or more in-situ interfaces configured to conductively link a source to an internal load and an external load. The in-situ interfaces are linked to a shunt conductor. Two or more linear and dynamic elements conductively link the in-situ interfaces in series. The dynamic elements are configured to overwhelm the parasitic self-capacitance of an input circuit coupled to at least one of the in-situ interfaces. A shield enclosing at least one of the linear and dynamic elements has a conductive surface to fields and electromagnetic interference. The shield has attenuation ratios that substantially dampen the parasitic capacitance between the linear and dynamic elements that bridge some of the in-situ interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2009Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: UT-Battelle, LLCInventors: Craig E. Deibele, George Brian Link, Vladimir V. Peplov
