Patent number: 11944373Abstract: An intravascular catheter for peri-vascular and/or peri-urethral tissue ablation includes multiple needles advanced through supported guide tubes which expand around a central axis to engage the interior surface of the wall of the renal artery or other vessel of a human body allowing the injection an ablative fluid for ablating tissue, and/or nerve fibers in the outer layer or deep to the outer layer of the vessel, or in prostatic tissue. The system may also include a means to limit and/or adjust the depth of penetration of the ablative fluid into and beyond the tissue of the vessel wall. The catheter may also include structures which provide radial and/or lateral support to the guide tubes so that the guide tubes expand uniformly and maintain their position against the interior surface of the vessel wall as the sharpened injection needles are advanced to penetrate into the vessel wall.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Ablative Solutions, Inc.Inventors: David R. Fischell, Tim A. Fischell, Robert Ryan Ragland, Darrin James Kent, Andy Edward Denison, Eric Thomas Johnson, Jeff Alan Burke, Christopher Scott Hayden

Patent number: 11652714Abstract: Embodiments are directed to monitoring network traffic using network monitoring computers (NMCs). Two or more network segments coupled by a traffic forwarding device (TFD) may be monitored. External network addresses and internal network addresses may be determined based on encrypted network traffic exchanged between external endpoints and the TFD and internal network traffic exchanged between internal endpoints and the TFD. Metrics associated with the external network addresses or the internal network addresses may be determined based on the monitoring. Correlation scores may be provided for the external network addresses and the internal network addresses based on of a correlation model, the metrics, or the other metrics. If a correlation score associated with an external network address and an internal network address exceeds a threshold value, the external network address and the internal network address may be associated with each other based on the correlation score.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: ExtraHop Networks, Inc.Inventors: Xue Jun Wu, Arindum Mukerji, Jeff James Costlow, Michael Kerber Krause Montague, Jesse Abraham Rothstein, Matthew Alexander Schurr

Patent number: 11558413Abstract: Embodiments are directed to monitoring network traffic using network monitoring computers (NMCs). Networks may be configured to protect servers using centralized security protocols. Centralized security protocols may depend on centralized control provided by authentication control servers. If a client intends to access protected servers it may communicate with the authentication control server to obtain keys that enable it to access the requested servers. NMCs may monitor network traffic the centralized security protocol to collect metrics associated with the control servers, clients, or resource servers.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2022Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: ExtraHop Networks, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Thomas Higgins, Jeff James Costlow, John Gemignani, Jr., Michael Kerber Krause Montague, Eric James Rongo, Xue Jun Wu

Publication number: 20220407881Abstract: Embodiments are directed to monitoring network traffic using network monitoring computers (NMCs). Metrics may be determined based on monitoring network traffic associated with a plurality of entities each associated with a profile that includes the metrics for each entity. Beaconing metrics associated with beaconing activity may be determined based on the metrics. The profile of each entity may be compared with the beaconing metrics to determine the entities that may be engaged in beaconing activity. The entities may be characterized based on beaconing activity such that the beaconing activity includes communication with endpoints associated with the third parties, employing communication protocols associated with the third-parties, or exchanging payloads consistent with the beaconing activity. Reports that include information associated with the entities and its beaconing activity may be generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Jeff James Costlow, Michael Ryan Corder, Edmund Hope Driggs, Benjamin Thomas Higgins, Michael Kerber Krause Montague, Kenneth Perrault, Jesse Abraham Rothstein, Jonathan Jacob Scott, Marc Adam Winners, Xue Jun Wu

Patent number: 11438247Abstract: Embodiments are directed to monitoring network traffic using network monitoring computers (NMCs). Two or more network segments coupled by bridge devices may be monitored by NMCs. The bridge devices may modify network traffic passed from one network segment to another network segment. Flows in network segments may be determined based on monitored network traffic associated with the network segments. Other flows in other network segments may be determined based on other monitored network traffic associated with the other network segments. A correlation score for two or more flows in different network segments may be provided based on a correlation model. Two or more related flows may be determined based on a value of the correlation score of the two or more related flows located in different network segments. A report that includes information about the two or more related flows may be provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2020Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: ExtraHop Networks, Inc.Inventors: Xue Jun Wu, Arindum Mukerji, Jeff James Costlow, Michael Kerber Krause Montague
