Patent number: 10929542Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable mediums for detection of policy violations in an unmodified binary in a virtual environment include receiving the unmodified binary in an executable and linkable format (ELF). The unmodified binary is executed, via an emulator, within the virtual environment. The executing includes determining, by an instruction set emulator, a symbol that is referenced during the executing of the unmodified binary. The symbol, a current state, and a global state is sent to a software policy engine. The software policy engine determines an assertion associated with the symbol. The assertion verifies a policy is enforced. A previous state is updated based on the symbol. The assertion is executed based on the current state, the previous state, and the global state. The assertion is determined to have failed based on the executing the assertion. A warning is logged indicating the failed assertion.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Frederick K. Jones, Uzma Nishat, Geoffrey G. Moyer, Stephen L. Watters, Jeffrey M. Vernon, Alex Dely

Patent number: 9491283Abstract: In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided apparatus, systems and methods for detecting a boundary condition via common mode diagnostics; and to apparatus, systems and methods for detecting a fault condition via common-mode rejection ratio diagnostics. For example, in one embodiment such means include, means for injecting a common mode signal probe onto a first end of a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL line); means for measuring impedance of the common mode signal probe on the DSL line at the first end of the DSL line; means for detecting an impedance anomaly on the DSL line based on the measured impedance of the common mode signal probe; and means for correlating the impedance anomaly on the DSL line to a boundary condition on the DSL line.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2012Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Adaptive Spectrum and Signal Alignment, Inc.Inventors: Chan-Soo Hwang, Geoffrey G.

Patent number: 9391834Abstract: In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there are provided apparatus, systems and methods for detecting a boundary condition via common mode diagnostics; and to apparatus, systems and methods for detecting a fault condition via common-mode rejection ratio diagnostics. For example, in one embodiment such means include, means for injecting differential mode signal probes onto two conductors of a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL line); means for measuring a common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of the differential mode signal probes; means for measuring impedance of the differential mode signal probes; and means for identifying which of an asymmetric fault condition or a symmetric fault condition is present on the line based on both: (a) the measured CMRR of the differential mode signal probes and (b) the measured impedance of the differential mode signal probes.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2012Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Adaptive Spectrum and Signal Alignment, Inc.Inventors: Chan-Soo Hwang, Geoffrey G. Moyer, Mark B. Flowers, Mehdi Mohseni

Publication number: 20150189075Abstract: Systems and methods for probing and/or monitoring DSL activity on a line from the CPE side. In embodiments, detected Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line states are associated with line data collected to determine a state of a microfilter on the line. Locations of other line faults are positioned relative to a network interface device (NID) based on a comparison of dry and active CPE lines or based on an estimate of the NID location.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2012Publication date: July 2, 2015Inventors: Chan-Soo Hwang, Geoffrey G. Moyer, Mark Flowers, Mohammad Naghshvar

Publication number: 20040186389Abstract: Apparatus and methods for determining a respiratory quotient are described. In one embodiment, a respiratory gas exchange monitor includes a respiratory gas conduit, a respiratory gas flow meter coupled to the respiratory gas conduit, and a respiratory gas sensor coupled to the respiratory gas conduit. The respiratory gas exchange monitor also includes a computation unit coupled to the respiratory gas flow meter and the respiratory gas sensor. The computation unit is configured to process outputs of the respiratory gas flow meter and the respiratory gas sensor to determine an amount of carbon dioxide produced by a subject and an amount of oxygen consumed by the subject, and the computation unit is configured to determine a respiratory quotient of the subject based on the amount of carbon dioxide produced and the amount of oxygen consumed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2003Publication date: September 23, 2004Inventors: James R. Mault, Edwin M. Pearce, Thomas E. Kilbourn, Geoffrey G. Moyer

Patent number: 5403208Abstract: A card edge connector for printed circuit boards is disclosed which employs a double-decker design. The connector may have the same length and width as conventional connectors used on Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) personal computers but is deeper. Conventional 8- and 16-bit ISA accessory circuit boards may be plugged into a corresponding socket which is also disclosed herein until they reach a stop upon which they rest, working as they would in an ISA personal computer. 32-bit Extended Industry Standard Architecture accessory circuit boards have a second row of connectors and a notch so they slide farther down into the socket, lining up with a second row of contacts. This design uses less physical space for connectors, allowing more room for logic circuitry on the motherboard.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 1990Date of Patent: April 4, 1995Assignees: Burndy Corporation, Compaq Computer Corporation, Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Francis A. Felcman, Guy M. Gladden, Robert J. Johnson, Geoffrey G. Moyer, James P. Paschal, Heinz Piorunneck, Douglas M. Thom
