Patent number: 10279993Abstract: A leak preventing appliance and method for preventing liquid from leaking out of a damaged tank (2). The appliance comprises a suction head (4) to be pressed against an outer wall (5) of the tank under the effect of an underpressure generated by a vacuum pump (3). The suction head comprises a first chamber (6) and a second chamber (9) arranged around the first chamber. Each chamber has an opening (7, 10) intended to face said tank wall. The suction head is attachable to the tank wall under the effect of a reduced pressure produced in the second chamber by the vacuum pump. The first chamber is connectable to the vacuum pump via a valve device (8), which is configured to keep the first chamber connected to the vacuum pump when a reduced pressure produced in the second chamber by the vacuum pump is below a threshold value and to otherwise keep the first chamber disconnected from the vacuum pump.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2016Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Inventor: Christer Lundin

Publication number: 20180118454Abstract: A leak preventing device (1) for preventing liquid from leaking out of a damaged tank (2), the device comprising:—a floating body (4) capable of floating at the surface (3) of the liquid in the tank; and—a flexible hose (5), the first end of the hose being fixed to the floating body and the hose being fixed to a wall of the tank at a point of attachment (8) at a distance from said first end, wherein the hose extends freely inside the tank between the floating body and said point of attachment and wherein the second end of the hose is connectable to a suction side of a vacuum pump(9) so as to allow gas to be drawn off via the hose from a gas-filled space (10) in the tank above the surface of the liquid in order to produce an under pressure in said space. The invention also relates to a tank for transporting liquid provided with such a device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2016Publication date: May 3, 2018Inventor: Christer Lundin

Patent number: 8495155Abstract: Techniques are described that enable enterprise management of public instant message (IM) communications. When a user requests a connection with a public IM service, the connection request is redirected to a gateway server that is associated with a domain specified in the user's user ID. The gateway server acts as a pass through server between the user's IM client application and the public IM service. The gateway server may be configured to log IM communications in which the user participates. The gateway server may also be configured to control whether or not the user is able to participate in point-to-point communications through the user's IM client application. An enterprise routing server may also be implemented in a geo-distributed enterprise to route a redirected public IM connection request to an enterprise IM gateway server based on a geographic location associated with the user.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2010Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ryan W. Battle, Kenneth Fern, Peter Ollodart, Austina M. De Bonte, Yikang Xu, Christer Lundin

Publication number: 20100042988Abstract: Computer components may be installed and configured using virtual machines, where a trusted relationship with a virtual machine is created when a virtual machine is launched on a device with an installation manager. The installation manager may provide configuration options, scripts, and other information to a configuration agent operating in the virtual machine. Additional virtual machines may be launched on other devices and trusted relationships established with the installation manager, which may also manage configuration agents on the additional virtual machines. In some embodiments, a remote controller may be used to control functions of the installation manager.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2008Publication date: February 18, 2010Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Christer Lundin, Dmitry Sonkin, Israel Hilerio, Robert M.

Publication number: 20090187648Abstract: An extensible management console may use a discovery mechanism to detect and identify security services across a network. After identification, the console may download and install an adapter so that the security service may be monitored and controlled using the extensible management console. A catalog of security services may be obtained from a catalog server and used to scan various devices, registries, file systems, and active services to detect and identify security services that may be added to the extensible management console.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2008Publication date: July 23, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Krishna Sunkammurali, Israel Hilerio, Lingan Satkunanathan, Bruce Johnson, Aaron Colling, Christer Lundin

Publication number: 20090100158Abstract: A backup system stores configuration data for several interdependent systems in a single backup store. As the systems are being configured and when changes are made to the systems, the backup store is updated with the change. The systems may be configured with each system having a designated role. During a restore operation, an otherwise unallocated system may assume a particular role and use the configuration logic defined for the role that may be taken from the backup store. The system may perform the restore in conjunction with the other systems and the interdependencies with the systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2007Publication date: April 16, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Dmitry Sonkin, Unmesh Vartak, Edward K Tremblay, Christer Lundin, Paul Fitzgerald, Israel Hilerio, Bruce Johnson, Aaron Colling, Rong Cao, Krishna Sunkammurali, Murali Vajjiravel, Ozan Eren Bilgen, Alireza Farhangi

Patent number: 7130918Abstract: A method and a corresponding system for enabling the sending of messages to a recipient via any of a number of messaging systems of different types are disclosed. In the method addresses for said recipient are stored. Furthermore, recipient availability information is received from the messaging systems. The recipient availability information is interpreted so as to determine in which of the messaging systems the recipient is currently available. Furthermore, an originator input including an identification of the recipient is received and an address among the stored addresses that are associated with messaging systems in which the recipient is currently available is chosen. Finally, the messaging system associated with the chosen address is identified.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2001Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jan Michael Ouzounidis, Christopher Donald Williams, Christer Lundin
