Patent number: 12261822Abstract: A firewall monitors network activity and stores information about that network activity in a network activity log. The network activity is analyzed to identify a potential threat. The potential threat is further analyzed to identify other potential threats that are related to the potential threat, and are likely to pose a future risk to a protected network. A block list is updated to include the potential threat and the other potential threats to protect the protected network from the potential threat and the other potential threats.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2020Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: OPEN TEXT INC.Inventors: Hal Lonas, David Dufour, Chip Witt, Patrick Kar Yin Chang

Publication number: 20250065535Abstract: A brick cleaning system has: a frame; a first saw comprising a first motor and a first saw blade driven by the first motor, the first saw being connected to the frame; a second saw comprising a second motor and a second saw blade driven by the first motor, the second saw being connected to the frame; and a brick cart connected to the frame. The brick cart is configured to hold a brick. The brick cart selectively translates relative to the frame for feeding the brick in a space between the first and second saw blades such that the first and second saw blades remove mortar from opposite sides of the brick. A method for cleaning used bricks is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2022Publication date: February 27, 2025Inventors: Tommy BOUILLON, David DUFOUR, Hugo CARTIER

Patent number: 11494374Abstract: Database requests are processed in a distributed database system comprising a central database subsystem and a plurality of local database subsystems comprising a first local database subsystem. The central database subsystem receives a second database request indicating at least one unique identifier of at least one database result of a plurality of database results which have been stored with corresponding unique identifiers by the first local database subsystem in response to a first database request received at the first local database subsystem. The at least one database result identified by the at least one unique identifier is retrieved from the first local database subsystem, processed and stored persistently in a database of the central database subsystem. At least the first local database subsystem and the central database subsystem may operate according to the New Distribution Capability (NDC) standard.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2019Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: AMADEUS S.A.S., SOPHIA ANTIPOLISInventors: David Dufour, Loic Cretin, Jerome Folli

Patent number: 10484400Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for generating dynamic sensors. In aspects, a device may be detected on a network. If the device is not recognized by the network, a generic container may be created. If the device is recognized by the network, a device-specific container may be created, and device-specific threat protection and/or a device-specific machine model may be loaded into the container. In either case, a threat intelligence model and/or an ecosystem-specific machine model may also be loaded into the container. The container may then be deployed to one or more networks. In aspects, the container may be used to analyze network traffic to sense potential threats for ecosystems comprising varying devices and topologies.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Webroot Inc.Inventors: David Dufour, Hal Lonas

Patent number: 5923234Abstract: A hermetically sealed housing (10) includes a dielectric end portion (118) which provides a transmission-line feedthrough between a printed-circuit such as HDI and exterior connections. A first transmission line (1) on the PC board (30) transitions to a 3-via transmission line (4), which transitions to a third coplanar, microstrip, or stripline transmission line (3). The third transmission line (3) transitions to a second 3-via transmission line (5), which ends at a coplanar transmission line (2) which is outside the housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1997Date of Patent: July 13, 1999Assignee: Lockheed Martin Corp.Inventors: Eric Louis Holzman, Stephen Charles Miller, Richard Joseph Teti, Bradley David Dufour
