Publication number: 20230299581Abstract: Systems for determining a phase of a device coupled to an electrical distribution system. The system includes a number of gateway devices configured to transmit a synchronization signal. The gateway device receives a node response message from a first node device that includes a duration value indicating a time between a receipt of the transmitted synchronization signal and a detected zero crossing. The gateway device compares the duration value against duration values received from node devices with a known phase connection and determines a phase of the first node device based on the comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Christopher Fleck, Roger Smith, Rebecca Ross

Publication number: 20230236702Abstract: Methods and systems for transparent user-interfaces are described herein. A computing device may generate an overlay that is transparent and positionable on top of a window of a user interface. The overlay may include visible content of an application different than another application of the window. Based on the visible content of the application and content of the another application, the computing device may determine a location of the overlay relative to the window. The computing device may provide, based on the determined location, the overlay on top of the window, so as to display the visible content of the application in a nonoverlapping fashion with the content of the another application to display and enable use of multiple applications with one window.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Manbinder Pal Singh, James Bulpin, Christopher Fleck

Patent number: 11704427Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for providing data loss prevention via an embedded browser. An interprocess communication (IPC) manager may interface with an embedded browser to control the transfer of data from a first application to a second application in accordance with a policy. The IPC manager may detect a command to store data accessed on the first application via the embedded browser and store the data onto a secure container. The secure container may be dedicated to the embedded browser. The IPC manager may subsequently detect a command to retrieve data from the secure container and to replicate the data onto the second application. The IPC manager may determine a policy to apply to the data. The policy may specify whether the data from the first application is permitted to be replicated onto the second application. The IPC manager may subsequently replicate the data on the second application.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2022Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Inventors: Christopher Fleck, Juan Rivera

Publication number: 20230169418Abstract: A computing device for providing an intelligent invitation system for network-based conversation applications is provided. The computing device includes a computer readable medium and at least one processor operably coupled to the computer readable medium. The at least one processor can be configured to receive conversation information related to a conversation between two or more conversation participants. The processor can analyze the conversation information to identify one or more additional users to invite to the conversation by, for example, performing a speech to text conversion of the conversation information and processing the text for one or more specific keywords that can be used to identify the one or more additional users. The processor can then generate and transmit a notification to at least one of the conversation participants, the notification including information related to the one or more additional users to invite to the conversation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2021Publication date: June 1, 2023Applicant: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Manbinder Pal Singh, Christopher Fleck

Patent number: 11658993Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for traffic inspection via embedded browsers. An application inspector module of an embedded browser executable on a client may intercept network traffic for an application. The network traffic may include packets exchanged between the application and the server via a channel. The application inspector module may identify a computing resource usage on the client in providing a user with access to the application via the embedded browser. The application inspector module may generate analytics data based on the intercepted network traffic and the computing resource usage. The application inspector module may maintain a user behavior profile based on the analytics data. The application inspector module may determine that a portion of the network traffic directed to the remote server contains sensitive information. Responsive to the determination, the application inspector module may block or remove the portion of the network traffic.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Inventors: Alexandr Smelov, Christopher Fleck

Patent number: 11483410Abstract: A computing device, method, and computer-readable medium storing instructions for determining user availability for one or more messaging applications are provided. For example, the computing device includes a processor for receiving user activity information from a client device including system interaction information and scheduled activity information for a user of the client device. The system interaction information includes information related to the user's current interaction with applications in the distributed workspace and the scheduled activity information includes information pulled from, for example, a calendar and/or scheduling application associated with the user. The processor processes the user activity information to determine a current user status for the user and output the current user status for the user of the client device to additional users of the one or more messaging applications.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2021Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Fleck, Amy Haworth, Jacob Jared Summers, Manbinder Pal Singh, Sabarish Nadarajan

Publication number: 20220300584Abstract: Embodiments described include systems and methods for adding watermarks using an embedded browser. To provide protection to sensitive information from a network application rendered via an embedded browser of a client application, the client application can generate an overlay with a digital watermark, and apply the overlay over the embedded browser. The client application can selectively generate such overlays, and can customize the format of the digital watermark according to the information rendered on the embedded browser. The watermark can remain with any information that is imaged from the embedded browser, and provides a deterrent against misuse of the information via image capture from a computer screen for instance. By adjusting properties (e.g., contrast) of such an image, the watermark can be made visible and detectable, thus allowing such imaging activities and information to be tracked.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2022Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Christopher Fleck, Rachelle Tobkes, Stephen Wilson

Publication number: 20220094672Abstract: Embodiments described include systems and methods of an encrypted cache. An embedded browser of a client application executing on a client device may provide access to a network application accessed via the client application. The embedded browser may detect an event at the client device that causes the network application to send or request application data. The embedded browser may access a copy of the application data from encrypted cache of the embedded browser. The encrypted cache may be maintained for the user and store application data for network application(s) accessed by the user.
