Patent number: 11503042Abstract: A managed server (MS) within an administrative domain is quarantined. The administrative domain includes multiple MSs that use management instructions to configure management modules so that the configured management modules implement an administrative domain-wide management policy that comprises a set of one or more rules. The quarantined MS is isolated from other MSs. A description of the MS is modified to indicate that the MS is quarantined, thereby specifying a description of the quarantined MS. Cached actor-sets are updated to indicate the quarantined MS's changed state, thereby specifying updated actor-sets. A determination is made regarding which updated actor-sets are relevant to an other MS, thereby specifying currently-relevant updated actor-sets. A determination is made regarding whether the currently-relevant updated actor-sets differ from actor-sets previously sent to the other MS.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Illumio, Inc.Inventors: Paul J. Kirner, Daniel R. Cook, Juraj G. Fandli, Matthew K. Glenn, Mukesh Gupta, Andrew S. Rubin, Jerry B. Scott, Thukalan V. Verghese

Patent number: 10924355Abstract: A change to a state of a particular managed server within an administrative domain is processed. The administrative domain includes a plurality of managed servers that use management instructions to configure management modules so that the configured management modules implement an administrative domain-wide management policy that comprises a set of one or more rules. A first description of the particular managed server is modified to indicate the particular managed server's changed state, thereby specifying a second description of the particular managed server. The unmodified first description is compared to the second description, thereby specifying a description change. A determination is made, based on the description change, regarding whether to update management instructions previously sent to the particular managed server.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Illumio, Inc.Inventors: Paul J. Kirner, Daniel R. Cook, Juraj G. Fandli, Matthew K. Glenn, Mukesh Gupta, Andrew S. Rubin, Jerry B. Scott, Sehyo Chang, Alan B. Stokel

Publication number: 20150237995Abstract: The assistive apparatus for hand held vessels or items is a device worn on the hand to facilitate the holding of anything of weight and to reduce the need for gripping strength. The device is a length of flexible material with at least two loops; one at either end; such that the loops are worn over the thumb and the pinky or one or more other fingers. The flexible material hangs like a hammock and allows the weight of an object, such as a glass or tool, to rest on the skeletal structure of the hand rather than depending upon the mechanical gripping force exerted by fingers. The device has application to help individuals suffering from a weakened grip from an ailment, such as arthritis, or that are in professions that require holding heavy objects for extend periods of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2014Publication date: August 27, 2015Inventors: Theresa R.
