Publication number: 20230301599Abstract: A wireless method for predicting an inflammation state of a person under observation, comprising: (a) transmitting frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) wireless signals from one or more transmitting antennas; (b) receiving reflected FMCW wireless signals with one or more receiving antennas, at least some of the reflected FMCW wireless signals being reflected from the person; (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) continuously while the person is under observation; (d) producing reflected FMCW wireless data based on the reflected FMCW wireless signals; (e) providing the reflected FMCW wireless data as an input to a trained machine-learning (ML) model, the trained ML model having been trained with ground-truth data that represents ground-truth inflammation states and ground-truth reflected FMCW wireless data of one or more subjects with respect to time; and (f) predicting, with the trained ML model, whether the person under observation is in an inflamed state or a non-inflamed state.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Rumen Hristov, Hariharan Rahul, Shichao Yue, Yuqing Ai, Bruce Maggs, Dina Katabi

Publication number: 20100250742Abstract: An intelligent traffic redirection system that performs global load balancing can be used in any situation where an end-user requires access to a replicated resource. The method directs end-users to the appropriate replica so that the route to the replica is good from a network standpoint and the replica is not overloaded. The technique preferably uses a Domain Name Service (DNS) to provide IP addresses for the appropriate replica. The most common use is to direct traffic to a mirrored web site.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2010Publication date: September 30, 2010Applicant: AKAMAI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: F. Thomson Leighton, Daniel M. Lewin, Ravi Sundaram, Rizwan S. Dhanidina, Robert Kleinberg, Matthew Levine, Adrian M. Soviani, Bruce Maggs, Hariharan Shankar Rahul, Srikanth Thirumalai, Jay Gunvantrai Parikh, Yoav O. Yerushalmi

Publication number: 20080052404Abstract: A replication process provides fault tolerance for a continuous media stream in a computer network. In one embodiment, the original or source signal is sent to several splitters which, in turn, each make copies of the signal and send the copies into a second layer of devices, which are referred to as “concentrators.” A given concentrator receives as input one or more copies of the source signal. In a preferred embodiment, a given concentrator receives two copies of the source signal from at least two different splitters. The concentrators process the incoming streaming signal copies, for example, by merging them into a single or composite copy of the original source signal according to a given processing algorithm. The output of a given concentrator may then be fed into a splitter, with the process then being repeated if desired to make an arbitrary large number of copies of the signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2007Publication date: February 28, 2008Applicant: Akamai Technologies, Inc.Inventors: F. Leighton, Daniel Lewin, David Shaw, Bruce Maggs

At the end of the replication process, the output of a splitter or a concentrator is fed directly or indirectly to an end user.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2003Date of Patent: November 13, 2007Assignee: Akamai Technologies, Inc.Inventors: F.

Patent number: 7010578Abstract: Third party cache appliances are configured into a content delivery service to enable such devices to cache and serve content that has been tagged for delivery by the service. The invention enables the content delivery service to extend the reach of its network while taking advantage of high performance, off-the-shelf cache appliances. If the third party caches comprise part of a third party content delivery network, the interconnection of caches to the CDS according to the present invention enables the CDS and the third party network to share responsibility for delivering the content. To facilitate such “content peering,” the CDS may also include a traffic analysis mechanism to provide the third party network with preferably real-time data identifying the content delivered by the CDS from the third party caches. The CDS may also include a logging mechanism to generate appropriate billing and reporting of the third party content that is delivered from the cache appliances that have been joined into the CDS.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2000Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Akamai Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Daniel M.
