  • Patent number: 11338918
    Abstract: A system for airspace tolling determines a presence of an aerial vehicle in a monitored airspace and determines a unique identity of the aerial vehicle. The system then determines an operator of the aerial vehicle and accesses an account associated with the operator. The system applies a charge to the account of the operator in response to the detection and identification of the aerial vehicle in the monitored airspace.

  • Patent number: 10854019
    Abstract: An aircraft tolling system uses tolling tags that are configured for attachment to aerial vehicles. The tolling tags include a data format that can be used by any and all aerial vehicles. The system detects and tracks aerial vehicles in a monitored airspace, and receives data from the aerial vehicles in the monitored airspace. The data include unique identifiers for each of the aerial vehicles in the monitored airspace. The system and device determine operators for the aerial vehicles in the monitored airspace based on a database of aerial vehicle and operator associations, access accounts in the database associated with each of the operators, and apply charges to the accounts associated with each of the operators in response to the reception of the unique identifiers of the aerial vehicles in the monitored airspace.

  • Patent number: 9882924
    Abstract: Generally discussed herein are systems, devices, and methods for malware analysis. In one or more embodiments, a method can include copying application layer data traffic to create copied application layer data traffic, forwarding at least a portion of the application layer data traffic to a destination client prior to a malware analysis of corresponding copied application layer data traffic, determining whether the copied application layer data traffic includes a specified property, and in response to a determination that the copied application layer data traffic includes the specified property, storing the copied application layer data traffic determined to include the specified property for subsequent malware analysis, the stored copied application layer data traffic including context data of the copied application layer data traffic.

  • Patent number: 8775529
    Abstract: According to particular embodiments, a system for bridging communications includes agent servers that deploy monitoring agents into source communication services where the monitoring agents collect events in a native communication protocol of the source communication service. The agent servers select events for relaying and translate those events into a native communication protocol of the destination communication service. In addition, the agent servers deploy relay agents into destination communication services to relay the translated events to the destination communication service.

  • Patent number: 8504636
    Abstract: According to particular embodiments, a communications monitoring system includes agent servers that deploy automated agents into various group communications services and a central server that receives the event data collected by the automated agents using the unified communications protocol. The central server also transmits the event data and any alerts that were determined from the event data to operator interfaces according to operator profiles.
