Patent number: 11797177Abstract: Provided are techniques for providing a global unique identifier for a storage volume. Under control of a storage initiator, a Global Universally Unique Identifier (GUUID) is identified for a storage volume of a storage device in a cloud system storing a plurality of storage devices, wherein the GUUID is generated for use with an ATA over Ethernet (AoE) protocol. The GUUID is stored in bytes of a packet header structure. Metadata is stored in remaining portions of the packet header structure. A request with the packet header structure is sent to a storage target.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Carlos D.

Patent number: 11787452Abstract: A deployable measurement system for analyzing a rail of a railroad track includes a housing, a reflecting assembly coupled to the housing, a movement assembly coupled to the housing, and an optical measurement system disposed within the housing. Both the housing and the reflecting assembly are moveable between a stored position and a deployed position. The movement assembly includes a deployment assembly that moves the reflecting assembly from the stored position to the deployed position, and a retraction assembly that moves the reflecting assembly from the deployed position to the stored position. The optical measurement system emits and receives light. The reflecting assembly reflects the emitted light toward the rail. The reflecting assembly reflects light reflected off of the rail toward the optical measurement system. The light received by the optical measurement system is used to measure parameters related to the rail.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2023Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Ensco, Inc.Inventors: Anthony Kim, David G.

Patent number: 10559150Abstract: Systems and methods are described for detecting that a potential renter of a property is being fraudulently impersonated by a third party during electronic communications with an owner or lessor of the property. Data representing an exchange of electronic messages between an inquirer and a responder are obtained, and may be anonymized to prevent the parties from learning one another's identity prior to completing the transaction. The data may be compared to historical inquiries sent by the inquirer, historical inquiries received by the recipient, or other content of the electronic messages to determine a degree of risk that the inquirer's account has been compromised or is otherwise being fraudulently represented. The degree of risk may be communicated to the recipient, and may be acted upon by, e.g., blocking messages from an inquirer whose degree of risk exceeds a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: HomeAway.com, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan S.

Patent number: 10304270Abstract: Various embodiments relate generally to electrical and electronic hardware, computer software and systems, wired and wireless network communications, and wearable computing devices for establishing a secure, closed-loop communication channel for authorizing access to rental properties. More specifically, a system, a device and a method are configured to facilitate authorization via secure communications between an inquiring entity and a responding entity to access a rental property. In one or more embodiments, a method can include establishing a data arrangement representing a messaging dialog between an inquirer and a responder. The messaging dialog may include data representing exchange of electronic messages. Further, the method may include suppressing transmission of the identity data of the inquirer and the responder during the exchange of the electronic messages to form secured messages, and generating anonymized transaction data representing authorization to access the rental property.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2015Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: HomeAway.com, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan S.

Publication number: 20190004817Abstract: Preparing a plurality of computer nodes to boot in a multidimensional fabric network is provided. The method includes a fabric processor (FP) generating a plurality of DHCP discovery packets using a baseboard management controller (BMC) MAC address, and placing them into the multi-host switch. A dedicated connection directly connects the BMC and the FP. All ports of the multi-host switch broadcast DHCP discovery packets into the fabric network. The BMC, FP, and switch are all within the node. A designated exit node inside the fabric connects to a provisioning node not part of the fabric. The exit node relays DHCP traffic from the fabric. A location-based IP address uniquely identifies the nodes' physical location in the fabric. The IP address is calculated based on inventory records describing physical location information about the nodes. The FP calculates a host MAC address using its IP address and configures it onto the switch.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2017Publication date: January 3, 2019Inventors: Malcolm S. Allen-Ware, Jeffrey Bloom, James H. H. Chou, Marc Cochran, Kevin A. Hughes, Alexander T. Iannicelli, Jason G. Pearce, Alan Ross
