Publication number: 20240113974Abstract: Mobile management method, system and client. Method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on client; retrieving reputation data associated with host name from a local cache on client; and determining a policy based on host name and the reputation data. Based on determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to host name to produce blocked attempted network flows. Method also includes sending attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on client; transmitting the attempted network flow metadata from the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel; and producing an anomaly report from the transmitted attempted network flow metadata. The anomaly report includes at least one of anomalies, cohorts, trends, location boundaries, detected network security issues, detected compromised clients and/or optimized network usage.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: MOBILE SONIC, INC.Inventors: Joseph T.

Publication number: 20230304934Abstract: Methods and systems for imaging a sample using fluorescence microscopy. High resolution lenses can be used for light sheet microscopy by tilting the excitation beam relative to the imaging optical axis. The excitation beam can be tilted using mirrors, instead of lenses, to generate the tilted illumination sheet. In some examples, a light path starts at a top downward-facing cone of light as it emerges from an optic fiber; a first off-axis parabolic mirror collimates in the x-axis, while a second off-axis parabolic mirror collimates in the y-axis, followed by the photomask to create four primary light sheets, which are then focused by a third off-axis parabolic mirror. As the four primary light sheets converge they create an interference pattern at an objective lens.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Paul Samuel Maddox, Joel Carter Smith, Bryan William Heck, Christopher T. Baumann

Publication number: 20230014799Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for imaging samples. In some examples, a device includes at least two basins for holding a liquid medium, the at least two basins including a sample chamber and a reservoir. The device includes a wedge between the sample chamber and the reservoir, and the wedge protrudes into the sample chamber and defines a space between the wedge and a bottom of the sample chamber. The space is sized for holding one or more biological samples. The device is formed to define a flow channel between the sample chamber and the reservoir, and the flow channel is shaped to allow the passage of the liquid medium from the sample chamber and the reservoir and to block passage of the one or more biological samples between the sample chamber and the reservoir.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2020Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Paul Samuel Maddox, Joel Carter Smith

Patent number: 9253583Abstract: Fitting a sound processing device for an individual is automated using a computer. Fitting and customization is carried out using natural sounds without specialized audiometric equipment or audiological expertise. Software for this purpose is downloaded from an internet portal. The computer plays back acoustic signals, and obtains user input reflecting the user's perceptions of the acoustic signals, from which a hearing map is derived, representing the user's hearing. An algorithm updates the device fitting based on the hearing map. Also provided is pre-sale virtual device fitting, whereby a virtual signal processing path is established in the computer, reflecting a signal processing function of a sound processing device of interest to the user. An algorithm updates parameters of the virtual processing path, based on the hearing map. Audio signals passed through the virtual processing path are played back to the user, giving the user an acoustic indication of future device performance.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2010Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Blamey & Saunders Hearing Pty LTD.Inventors: Peter John Blamey, Henry Carter Smith, David Wright
