Publication number: 20230216733Abstract: An initial provisioning by a management plane of the SD-WAN is received from a centralized SD-WAN gateway with static path overlay between the network edge device on a local LAN and the centralized SD-WAN gateway. At runtime, intelligent decision are made about which overlay path to select and when for the new flow over a control plane of the SD-WAN, based on the topology of the remote network edge and the local SDWAN policy, and to build the selected overlay path.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2021Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: Stephen John Bevan, Dmitry Perets

Patent number: 9729655Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing a transfer of data in a data network identifies data associated with a communication session between a first node and a second node in the data network. Further processing of the communication session occurs when a portion of the communication session meets a criterion and the communication session is permitted to continue when the portion of the communication session does not meet the criterion.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2016Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: Fortinet, Inc.Inventors: Stephen John Bevan, Michael Xie, Hongwei Li, Wenping Luo, Shaohong Wei

Patent number: 7045431Abstract: Methods are disclosed that fabricating semiconductor devices with high-k dielectric layers. The invention removes portions of deposited high-k dielectric layers not below gates and covers exposed portions (e.g., sidewalls) of high-k dielectric layers during fabrication with an encapsulation layer, which mitigates defects in the high-k dielectric layers and contamination of process tools. The encapsulation layer can also be employed as an etch stop layer and, at least partially, in comprising sidewall spacers. As a result, a semiconductor device can be fabricated with a substantially uniform equivalent oxide thickness.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2003Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Antonio L. P. Rotondaro, Douglas E. Mercer, Luigi Colombo, Mark Robert Visokay, Haowen Bu, Malcolm John Bevan

Patent number: 5750823Abstract: A waste gas stream including halohydrocarbons is treated with a surface wave to form a cold plasma. Additional reaction gases can be mixed with the waste gas stream to improve the destruction of the halohydrocarbons. The apparatus for the treatment of gaseous halogenated organic and other persistent organic compounds includes a reaction vessel (12) in which the waste gas is exposed to the surface wave, thereby forming a non-thermal plasma. The apparatus further includes a means for mixing (7) the waste gases together with the appropriate ancillary reaction gases to facilitate formation of free radicals suited to treat a particular waste stream. Also, a means of introducing an appropriate mixture of waste gases and additive gases into the plasma reaction vessel where the halohydrocarbons are decomposed is provided. Since some reactions may produce solid material by-products that are not easily handled by suction pumps a means of trapping (13) these particles may be included in this apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 1995Date of Patent: May 12, 1998Assignee: R.F. Environmental Systems, Inc.Inventors: Bill Wofford, Marc Jackson, John Bevan

Patent number: 4432963Abstract: A composition and method for the preparation of a technetium-99m-based scanning agent are disclosed. The scanning agent is prepared from .sup.99m Tc, in a +3, +4 and/or +5 oxidation state, and a methanehydroxydiphosphonate bone-seeking agent which carries the radionuclide to bone mineral. The methanehydroxydiphosphonate agent provides scan sharpness equivalent or superior to commercial scanning agents, and is superior for detecting myocardial infarcts, as compared with commercial scanning agents such as ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonate and methanediphosphonate.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 1981Date of Patent: February 21, 1984Assignee: Mallinckrodt, Inc.Inventor: John A.
