Patent number: 10592273Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided in which a source and target perform bidirectional forwarding of traffic while a migration guest is being transferred from the source to the target. In some examples, the migration guest is exposed to the impending migration and takes an action in response. A virtual network programming controller informs other devices in the network of the change, such that those devices may communicate directly with the migration guest on the target host. According to some examples, an “other” virtual network device in communication with the controller and the target host facilitates the seamless migration. In such examples, the forwarding may be performed only until the other virtual machine receives an incoming packet from the target host, and then the other virtual machine resumes communication with the migration guest on the target host.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Brian Matthew Fahs, Jinnah Dylan Hosein, Venkatesh Babu Chitlur Srinivasa, Guy Shefner, Roy Donald Bryant, Uday Ramakrishna Naik, Francis Edward Swiderski, III, Nan Hua

Publication number: 20130171677Abstract: Novel fluorescent phycobiliprotein fusion proteins and methods of use are described. The novel phycobiliproteins can be produced in a cell comprising two or more heterodimeric lyases, an apoprotein and a bilin reductase, which components react to form the phycobiliprotein fusion protein. Also described are phycobiliprotein based transcription reporter cells and assays, which cells conditionally express a heterologous, fluorescent, phycobiliprotein domain even in anoxic conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2011Publication date: July 4, 2013Applicants: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA SYSTEM, THE PENN STATE RESEARCH FOUNDATIONInventors: Donald A.

Publication number: 20050114643Abstract: When a non-volatile memory device is reversibly operationally connected to a computer, the computer executes an application that is stored on the device. The execution causes changes to a non-volatile memory of the computer. After the execution terminates, all such changes are undone, either immediately if the termination was normal or upon rebooting the computer if the termination was abnormal. Before or during the execution, information related to the changes is recorded. The undoing of the changes is based on that information. Examples of such information recorded before the execution include a list of expected changes and a partial or full copy of the computer's non-volatile memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2004Publication date: May 26, 2005Inventors: Donald Bryant-Rich, Ittai Golde, Yaakov Tsvi, Erez Baum, Daniel Yerushalmi

Patent number: 6138098Abstract: A system and method of allowing a user to control a computer application with spoken commands, include the steps of processing the spoken commands with a Speech Recognition application into candidate word phrases, and parsing at least one candidate word phrase with a Context Free Grammar (CFG) parser, into a parse tree. A plurality of predefined rewrite rules grouped into a plurality of phases applied are to the parse tree, for rewriting the parse tree. Each of the plurality of rewrite rules includes a pattern matching portion, for matching at least a part of the parse tree, and a rewrite component, for rewriting the matched part. A command string is produced by traversing each terminal node of the modified parse tree. The command string is sent to an interpreter application or directly to the computer application. Possible applications include word processing and other voice-entry systems.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1997Date of Patent: October 24, 2000Assignee: Lernout & Hauspie Speech Products N.V.Inventors: Stuart M. Shieber, John Armstrong, Rafael Jose Baptista, Bryan A. Bentz, William F. Ganong, III, Donald Bryant Selesky

Patent number: 6125342Abstract: A system and method of interpreting user commands for controlling a computer application. When a user command includes a pronoun such as "it", "this", "that" etc., the pronoun will be interpreted in an intuitive fashion according to the context of the computer application. In a word processing application, users can issue commands such as "copy that" or "bold that", and the system will select the proper object to perform the operation on. The system can be used with a speech recognition application to allow users to control applications easily through voice commands and text.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1997Date of Patent: September 26, 2000Assignee: L & H Applications USA, Inc.Inventor: Donald Bryant Selesky

Patent number: 5890181Abstract: A system and method for remotely grouping contents of an action history stack running on a computer system. An action is performed in a first application which causes a beginning marker to be placed on the action history stack. One or more actions are performed in the first application. Each action performed is also stored on the action history stack. Finally an action is performed which causes an end marker to be placed on the action history stack. When some actions need to be undone, a first action is caused to be undone. If the undone action indicates an end marker, then more actions are caused to be undone until an undone action indicates a beginning marker. This method is useful for any application which uses an action history stack, and where access to the action history stack is limited. In one embodiment, the application is a word processing program, and the steps of the invention are performed by a voice recognition system.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1996Date of Patent: March 30, 1999Assignee: Kurzwell Applied Intelligence, Inc.Inventors: Donald Bryant Selesky, John Armstrong

Patent number: 5082313Abstract: A cut-in repair coupling for connecting two free ends of a pipeline from which a section of pipe has been removed. The coupling includes a first sleeve and second sleeve which telescopically fit over the free ends of the pipeline, each of the sleeves being of an axial length less than the length of the section of pipe being repaired and the sum of the lengths of the sleeves being greater than the section of pipe being repaired. The coupling further includes two glands with sealing members therein used in conjunction with a nut and bolt assembly to tightly seal and make-up the repair coupling.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 1990Date of Patent: January 21, 1992Inventors: Donald Bryant, Thomas K.
