Publication number: 20180352003Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include methods involving an authentication application, a client application, or a combination of a network access control server with the authentication application and the client application. The client application collects compliance data regarding the user device and communicates the compliance data to the network access control server. The network access control server generates a compliance check result based on whether the compliance data indicates that the user device is compliant with a security policy for the software-as-a-service server. The authentication application grants access by the user device when the compliance check result is positive; and the authentication application denies access by the user device when the compliance check result is negative. In some embodiments, the compliance check result or a user device identifier is stored in a web browser cookie or a client certificate on the user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2018Publication date: December 6, 2018Applicant: OPSWAT, Inc.Inventors: Adam Gregory Winn, Benjamin Czarny, Jianpeng Mo, Yiyi Miao

Patent number: 8876485Abstract: The present application provides a turbine nozzle including an airfoil shape. The airfoil shape may have a nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in Table 1. The Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z are non-dimensional values from 0% to 100% convertible to dimensional distances in inches by multiplying the Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z by a height of the airfoil in inches. The X and Y values are distances in inches which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z. The airfoil profile sections at Z distances may be joined smoothly with one another to form a complete airfoil shape.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2011Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Ross James Gustafson, Aaron Gregory Winn
