Patent number: 12332961Abstract: Statistical analysis can be used to attempt to identify potentially malicious references, such as trap URLs. When a URL is utilized for a request, that request can be intercepted before analysis before that URL is resolved to an address. Portions of this URL, as well as the entire URL, can be compared against one or more lists of known URLs using a probabilistic matching process to determine whether there are any matches that are very close but not quite exact. Any determined match with high probability above a suspicion threshold can be flagged as being suspicious, or associated with a potentially malicious site. An action can then be taken, such as to block that URL or prompt a user for confirmation of intent.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2020Date of Patent: June 17, 2025Assignee: Nvidia CorporationInventors: Andrew James Woodard, Amy Rose, Benjemin Thomas Waine, Christopher Schneider

Publication number: 20250193014Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for preserving user privacy when selecting content are described. In some aspects, a method includes receiving a data element identifying a set of candidate digital components and, for each candidate digital component, a set of distribution parameters for the candidate digital component. For each candidate digital component, encrypted selection data for the candidate digital component is provided as input to a cryptographic analysis application running in a trusted hardware module of a client device. The encrypted selection data represents the set of distribution parameters for the candidate digital component and is encrypted using a zero-knowledge proof protocol. The cryptographic analysis application is configured to determine a measure of match between the selection data and user attributes of a user of the client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2025Publication date: June 12, 2025Inventor: Christopher Schneider

Patent number: 12301623Abstract: In various examples, communications having insecure protocols are dynamically hardened. For example, communications that are formatted in an outdated or otherwise insecure version of a protocol (e.g., sent by a device aged out of a service window) may be isolated within a network, converted to an updated protocol format, or any combination thereof. These systems and methods may be implemented on a general purpose network device (e.g., a hub of a Local Area Network (LAN)).Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2020Date of Patent: May 13, 2025Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Christopher Schneider, Amy Rose, Benjemin Thomas Waine, Andrew James Woodard

Patent number: 12131533Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide visualizations of non-visible features of a physical environment, at the location of the non-visible features in the physical environment. The non-visible features may include wireless communications signals, sounds, airflow, gases, subsonic and/or ultrasonic waves, hidden objects, or the like. A device may store visual contexts for visualizations of particular non-visible features. The device may obtain a depth map that allows the device to determine the location of the non-visible feature in the physical environment and to overlay the visualization on a user's view of that location. In this way, the non-visible feature can be visualized its correct location, orientation, direction and/or strength in the physical environment.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2023Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ying Bai, Kieran Dimond, James Christopher Schneider, Marco Cavallo, Arun Srivatsan Rangaprasad, Tiejian Zhang

Publication number: 20240280171Abstract: The valve module can be installed regardless of an oil level, for example of an oil level of an oil sump of a motor vehicle. By means of a buffer volume having an overflow it is always guaranteed that a leakage flow conveyed past a valve piston includes no air but consists solely of hydraulic medium, since the overflow guarantees a level of hydraulic medium which lies above an upper face of the valve piston in a preferred installation position. As a result, foaming of the hydraulic medium can be prevented. The valve module can also be installed above the oil sump, for example in an upper region of a gearbox of the motor vehicle. In addition, the oil from the overflow can be used for cooling/lubrication of further drive train components.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2022Publication date: August 22, 2024Applicant: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KGInventors: Matthias Grenzhäuser, Christopher Schneider

Patent number: 11831608Abstract: In various examples, firewalls may include machine learning models that are automatically trained and applied to analyze service inputs submitted to input processing services and to identify whether service inputs are desirable (e.g., will result in an undesirable status code if processed by a service). When a service input is determined by a firewall to be desirable, the firewall may push the service input through to the input processing service for normal processing. When a service input is determined by the firewall to be undesirable, the firewall may block or drop the service input before it reaches the input processing service and/or server. This may be used to prevent the service input, which is likely to be undesirable, from touching a server that hosts the input processing service (e.g., preventing a crash).Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Christopher Schneider, William Bartig, Daniel Rohrer, Andrew Woodard
