Publication number: 20190256864Abstract: Compositions, systems and methods are provided for conferring disease resistance to plant pathogens that use proteases to target plant substrate proteins inside plant cells. Briefly, the compositions, systems and methods are based upon plant substrate proteins that are targeted by pathogen-specific proteases and that activate nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat (NB-LRR) disease resistance proteins when cleaved by the protease. These substrate proteins are modified such that the endogenous protease recognition sequence is replaced by a protease recognition sequence specific to a different pathogen protease (i.e., a heterologous protease recognition sequence). The modified plant substrate protein therefore can be used in connection with its corresponding NB-LRR protein to activate resistance in response to cleavage by the heterologous pathogen-specific protease. When activated by the plant pathogen-specific protease, the pair initiates host defense responses thereto, including programmed cell death.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2019Publication date: August 22, 2019Inventors: Roger William INNES, Matthew David HELM

Patent number: 10212647Abstract: A system and method for managing content exchanges in a wireless network using a listener module. A listener module receives a message broadcast by a string broadcast station. The string broadcast station message includes a network information string. The listener module also receives a message broadcast by a wireless station. The wireless station message includes the MAC address of the wireless station. The listener module associates the network information string with the MAC address of the wireless station and stores the pair a list server device. The wireless station may then request a list from the list server device of network information strings associated with the MAC address of the wireless station.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2015Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: Radius Networks Inc.Inventors: Stillman Bradish, Scott A. Smith, Marc Wallace, David Helms

Patent number: 10034228Abstract: The system and method of the present disclosure relates to technology for monitoring a broadcast device that is non-network connected. A wireless device monitors for a broadcast message transmitted wirelessly by the broadcast device. Upon discovery of the broadcast message, the wireless device transmits information from the broadcast message to a remotely located sever via a network. The server stores the broadcast information and determines the status (e.g., online or offline) of the broadcast device. The status is determined based on the detection time (e.g., the last seen time of the broadcast device by the wireless device) and an offline threshold value (e.g., a predetermined time period) that is compared to the current time or time upon which the server received the broadcast information. As a result of the comparison, the server determines whether the broadcast device is online or offline.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2015Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: RADIUS NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Marc Wallace, Christopher Sexton, David Helms, David Young, Aaron Kromer

Patent number: 9942233Abstract: A system for the identification of patterns in stateful transactions may include a message interceptor, a message pattern processor, a message handler, and a memory. The message interceptor may be operative to intercept messages transmitted by a first device over a network to a recipient. The message interceptor may be operative to intercept the messages before the messages are received by the recipient. The message pattern processor may be operative to add the message to a message pattern and store the message pattern in a memory. The message pattern processor may compare the message pattern to a plurality of exemplary message patterns and identify when the message pattern matches at least one of the exemplary message patterns. The message handler may be operative to determine an action to take with respect to the message based on the at least one matching exemplary message pattern identified by the message pattern processor.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2015Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: CloudShield Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peder J. Jungck, David Helms

Patent number: 9654909Abstract: The present disclosure relates to broadcasting multiple packets at periodic intervals for receipt by other devices. A common device can transmit multiple beacon protocols simultaneously (i.e., an interleaving of different beacons), such that regardless of which protocol a receiving device supports, it may utilize advertisements from that common device (e.g., beacon). Thus, a single or common transmitting device may support multiple advertisements, such that the amount of hardware to be deployed in any network is reduced. Rather than deploying a device per beacon, a single device may be deployed and transmit multiple beacons.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: RADIUS NETWORKS INC.Inventors: David Helms, Marc Wallace, David Young, Chris Sexton, David Martin

Publication number: 20160315982Abstract: The system and method of the present disclosure relates to a remotely configurable wireless broadcast device connected to a network. The device includes a network connected computer and a proxy that interfaces with one or more non-network connected broadcast devices. The wireless broadcast device monitors the non-network connected broadcast devices and periodically reports the status for each of the devices. A server, remotely located from the configurable wireless broadcast device, receives and processes the status reports. The status reports may also be monitored by a user via a common user interface connected to the server. After processing the status reports, the server sends configuration data, including updated or modified information, back to the wireless broadcast device instructing the device to configure the non-network connected devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2015Publication date: October 27, 2016Applicant: Radius Networks Inc.Inventors: Marc Wallace, Christopher Sexton, David Helms, David Young

Publication number: 20060250184Abstract: SiGe Differential Cascode Amplifier with Miller Effect Resonator A high-power, high frequency (1-100 GHz) power amplifier, made using SiGe transistors. A differential common-emitter amplifier section supplies the voltage amplification, allowing the total voltage swing of the amplifier to be twice the breakdown voltage of the individual transistors. Current amplification is supplied by a differential common-emitter amplifier section, connected in cascode with the differential common-emitter amplifier section. Appropriately chosen resonators in the cascode connection resonate out the Miller effect, negative current feed back of the circuit at the amplifier's operational frequency, allowing the amplifier to provide high power output at the operational frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2005Publication date: November 9, 2006Applicant: M/A-Com, Inc.Inventors: David Helms, Robert Point

Patent number: 7133371Abstract: Methods are described that enable host devices of a multicast IP network to reliably join multicast group address(es) in talkgroup or point-to-point calls. For a talkgroup call, a sourcing host sends “hello” packets or payload to one or more network devices, addressed to a multicast group address. The receiving host issues a join command to the one or more network devices in an attempt to reliably join the multicast group address. If any packets are received by the receiving host within a designated time period associated with the attempt, the receiving host is reliably joined to the multicast group address. For a point-to-point call, a controller sends a pair of multicast group addresses, one designated for sourcing packets and the other designated for receiving packets, to a first and second host participating in the point-to-point call. The designated “source” and “receive” multicast group address are complementary for the first and second hosts.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2000Date of Patent: November 7, 2006Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: David Helm, Thomas J Senese, Daniel J McDonald
