Patent number: 11586431Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to perform self-dependent upgrades of Java Runtime Environments (JREs). A request to update a plugin to a new version with a new configuration that includes a location to download a new upgrader-executable is received from a platform computing device at an endpoint computing device. The plugin is uploaded to the new version. The new upgrader-executable that includes an executable with an executable table executed by the plugin is downloaded from the location. The executable is used to halt execution of a JRE application (e.g., a Collector) and download JRE files required for the upgrade. The JRE application (e.g., the Collector) is then re-started with the new configuration, which can be rolled back if the upgrade is unsuccessful.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2021Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Rapid7 , Inc.Inventors: Sharon Katz, Jeffrey Myers, Paul-Andrew Joseph Miseiko, John Southern, Tyler Stiller

Publication number: 20200250757Abstract: The present invention concerns methods of providing feedback to a user based on the amount of risk underlying an options contract. The invention uses a display screen, with a selection mechanism, to allow the user to interface directly the with parameters of a potential options, while providing feedback, typically in the form of color changes, vibration, or sounds, to the user while the risk of the options contract increases. Evaluating the underlying risk of an options contract is a difficult process for the individual investor who lacks the advanced mathematical models of institutional investors. The present invention consolidates the factors into a simplified tool that analyzes the factors and communicates risk to the user through the feedback mechanisms.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2019Publication date: August 6, 2020Applicant: Gatsby Digital, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Belanger-Saleh, Davis Gaynes, Jeffrey Myers, Alexander Wohl

Publication number: 20070214403Abstract: A Random Access Error Detection and Correction unit (RAEDAC) that incorporates a bit-wise error detection and correction unit (BEDAC) in a memory system. In one embodiment, a word-wise error detection and correction unit (WEDAC) operates in coordination with a BEDAC that performs a bit-wise parity calculation. In another embodiment, a WEDAC operates in coordination with a full bit-wise BEDAC that calculates bit-wise check bits. The RAEDAC may be applied to create a multi-dimensional EDAC where, for example, the memory is partitioned into a stack of planes, and a stack-wise error detection and correction unit (SEDAC) is implemented.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2006Publication date: September 13, 2007Inventors: Michael Longwell, William Atwell, Jeffrey Myers

Publication number: 20070136791Abstract: A FireNet security system in which trustworthy networks, called BlackNets, each comprising One (1) or more client computers, are protected by FireBreaks against attacks from untrustworthy networks, called RedNets. All incoming transactions from the RedNet are examined by the FireBreak to determine if they violate any of a plurality of protection rules stored in a local protection rules database. Any transaction found to be in violation is discarded. Valid transactions are forwarded to the BlackNet. If an otherwise valid transaction is found to be suspicious, the FireBreak will forward to a FireNet Server relevant information relating to that transaction. If the FireNet Server verifies that the transaction is indeed part of an attack, the FireNet Server will create new protection rules suitable to defend against the newly identified source or strategy of attack. Periodically, all FireBreaks in the FireNet system will transfer, directly or indirectly, all new rules.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2006Publication date: June 14, 2007Inventors: Stuart Green, Scott Brown, Jonathan Crain, Jeffrey Myers, Carl Perry, Marcus Yax

Publication number: 20070017025Abstract: A folding play yard which includes a generally horizontal upper frame comprised of members including end sections pivotally connected to latches for maintaining the end sections in horizontal alignment when the play yard is deployed. A lower frame is comprised of a vertically moveable central release mechanism and diagonal braces extending from said release mechanism to lower ends of vertical members. Lower side members each having end sections connected to a central hinge may also be provided Vertical members join the upper and lower frames. Latch release means such as cables are connected to the latches and extend to anchors in the vertical members, whereby upward movement of the release mechanism and ends of the diagonal braces tightens the latch release means and releases the latches for folding.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2005Publication date: January 25, 2007Applicant: Baby Trend, Inc.Inventor: Jeffrey Myer
