Patent number: 10057285Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for auditing governance, risk, and compliance using an event correlation architecture. In particular, the event correlation architecture may include a solution designer for defining a solution pack that enforces one or more specific governance, risk, or compliance controls, and a solution manager for deploying the solution pack within the event correlation architecture to configure the architecture for enforcement of the one or more controls. Thus, a collection of content defined in the solution pack may be used to enrich one or more events received at the event correlation architecture, and a correlation engine may then correlate the events using the content in the solution pack to enforce the one or more governance, risk, or compliance controls.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2009Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Usman Choudhary, John Melvin Antony, Michael Howard Cooper, Pattabiraman Srinivasan

Patent number: 9197602Abstract: Requests to send data from a first host within a network of hosts are monitored against a record of destination hosts that have been sent data in accordance with a predetermined policy. Destination host identities (not the record) are stored in a buffer. The buffer size is monitored to determine whether requests from the first host are pursuant to viral activity therein.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2003Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Matthew Murray Williamson, John Melvin Brawn

Publication number: 20150245532Abstract: This invention is a novel air supply register that modulates the incoming air supply from the under floor air duct. This air register is able to monitor the air temperature leaving the server stack thereby improving the response time of the HVAC system. Since the register has adjustable louvers that can modulate the inlet air flow into the server stack; it will save energy by reducing the supply air to the server stack when the cool incoming air is not needed. This reduces hot spots in the data center because the cool incoming air can be directed to server racks that need cooling. This self-modulation of the air register is not available in conventional floor registers.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2014Publication date: August 27, 2015Applicant: ACTA TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventors: Edward Vincent Clancy, Albert Dean Jefferson, JOHN MELVIN OLSON, ROGER THOMAS DIRSTINE

Patent number: 9111092Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to include transforming subsequent unmarked contexts into additional tainted contexts in response to identifying a tainted event as a link between a prior tainted context and the subsequent unmarked contexts. Further operations may include publishing an event horizon to a display. The event horizon may include the tainted event and all other events associated with a linked chain of contexts that include the prior tainted context and the additional tainted contexts, where the tainted event and the other events share the taint in common. In this way, a taint associated with malicious behavior can be propagated and tracked as it moves between contexts. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2011Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: Novell, Inc.Inventors: Paul Apostolescu, John Melvin Antony, Pattabiraman Srinivasan

Patent number: 8966392Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to generate a reference statistical model of an operating system, such as a computer system, and display the reference statistical model as a hierarchical, segmented time series event stream graph, along with a graph representing current behavior of the system. The event stream graph may be derived from one or more streams of security events. Additional operations may include receiving requests to display further detail respecting discrepancies between the reference statistical model and the current behavior. Other apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2011Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Novell, Inc.Inventors: John Melvin Antony, Paul Apostolescu, Pattabiraman Srinivasan, Prathap Adusumilli, Usman Choudhary

Patent number: 8782734Abstract: Methods and apparatus teach defining an access policy to digital data available on one or more computing devices, including identifying one or more semantic attributes of at least one first digital data set and using the identified attributes to define policy dictating user access privileges. On receipt of a user request to access at least one second digital data set, semantic attributes are compared to the at least one first digital data set and access is allowed or not allowed based on the policy. Semantic attributes are selected from at least one of a closeness attribute, a relatedness attribute, and a semantic vector attribute. Also is taught configuring a policy enforcement agent on the one or more computing devices to undertake the comparing and to allow or not allow access. In turn, computer program products and computing systems for accomplishing the foregoing are provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2011Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Novell, Inc.Inventors: Scott A.

Publication number: 20140168931Abstract: A light reflecting system for photography including a floor mounted stanchion that supports an element support having a forwardly facing strobe light therein. A support plate is mounted on the support element having a central opening therein to allow the light created by the strobe light to be reflected from an umbrella type light reflecting screen which is forwardly mounted on to the support plate. The support plate additionally has a multiple of forwardly facing incandescent light bulbs. The Incandescent light bulbs can change their intensity of light reflected from the umbrella type by of switches associated with each of the light bulbs whereby more or less light bulbs can be activated.
