Publication number: 20150082670Abstract: Novel subsea excavation apparatus and methods that exert force between a subsea anchor point and an excavator using a subsea actuator. In some examples the subsea actuator is attached to an anchor point on the seabed and the excavator directly. In other examples, a guide frame is anchored to the seabed to provide anchor points fixed relative to the seabed and the subsea actuators are attached to the guide frame and the excavator. In further examples, the subsea actuators can be attached to the excavator through a carrier frame or other excavator guides rather than directly to the excavator.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2014Publication date: March 26, 2015Applicant: Deep Reach Technology, Inc.Inventors: John Halkyard, Eric Jackson, Jonathan Bruce Machin

Patent number: 8977659Abstract: A file system (i) permits storage capacity to be added easily, (ii) can be expanded beyond a given unit, (iii) is easy to administer and manage, (iv) permits data sharing, and (v) is able to perform effectively with very large storage capacity and client loads. State information from a newly added unit is communicated (e.g., automatically and transparently) to central administration and management operations. Configuration and control information from such operations is communicated (e.g., automatically) back down to the newly added units, as well as existing units. In this way, a file system can span both local storage devices (like disk drives) and networked computational devices transparently to clients. Such state and configuration and control information can include globally managed segments as the building blocks of the file system, and a fixed mapping of globally unique file identifiers (e.g., Inode numbers) and/or ranges thereof, to such segments.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2007Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: David Michael Chrin, Philip Eric Jackson, Steven A.

Publication number: 20130055374Abstract: A method to mitigate attack by an upstream service provider using cloud mitigation services. An edge detection device, which located at the subscriber's network edge, is able to communicate information via status messages about attacks to an upstream service provider. The service provider is then able to mitigate attacks based on the status messages. There is a feedback loop whereby the amount of dropped traffic by the service provider is added to the network traffic to keep the mitigation request open and prevent flapping. Likewise, the detection device includes time-to-engage and time-to-disengage timers to further prevent flapping.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2011Publication date: February 28, 2013Applicant: ARBOR NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Chester Kustarz, Lawrence Bruce Huston, III, James A.
