Publication number: 20220353134Abstract: Techniques are described for upgrading a virtualized network function (VNF) implemented in a virtualized computing environment configured in a user-specific configuration. The virtualized network function is implemented by a plurality of VNF components (VNFCs) executing in a plurality of virtual machines managed by a virtualized infrastructure manager (VIM). An upgrade component is configured to execute as a virtual resource and execute a series of operations that coordinate an upgrade of the VNFCs implementing the VNF and interact with the VIM and the virtual machines to effect the upgrade. A configuration file pertaining to a new software version defining the upgrade and a set of upgrade instructions. Based on the configuration file, the upgrade instructions are translated to a series of operations on the virtual machines and interactions with the VIM to effect the upgrade.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2021Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Andrew LEE, Murray William ROGERS, David Charles HOTHAM, Duncan ARCHER, Sophie STRATTON, Joseph Ellis Darracott POWELL, Sunniva CARTER

Patent number: 11345039Abstract: An apparatus such as a robot capable of performing goal oriented tasks may include one or more touch sensors to receive touch perception feedback on the location of objects and structures within an environment. A fusion engine may be configured to combine touch perception data with other types of sensor data such as data received from an image or distance sensor. The apparatus may combine distance sensor data with touch sensor data using inference models such as Bayesian inference. The touch sensor may be mounted onto an adjustable arm of a robot. The apparatus may use the data it has received from both a touch sensor and distance sensor to build a map of its environment and perform goal oriented tasks such as cleaning or moving objects.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: AEOLUS ROBOTICS, INC.Inventors: Joseph Ellis Augenbraun, Gaurav Rekhi

Publication number: 20220058194Abstract: A database system comprised of a decoupled compute layer and storage layer is implemented to store, build, and maintain a canonical dataset, a temporary buffer, and an edits dataset. The canonical dataset is a set of batch updated data. The data is appended in chunks to the canonical dataset such that the canonical dataset becomes a historical dataset over time. The buffer is a write ahead log that contains the most recent chunks of data and provides atomicity and durability for the database system. The edits dataset is the set of data that contains edits such as cell mutations, row appends and/or row deletions. The database system enables users to make cell or row-level edits to tables and observe those edits in analytical systems or downstream builds with minimal latency.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2021Publication date: February 24, 2022Inventors: Mark Elliot, Joseph Ellis, Rahij Ramsharan, Matthew Sills, Lawrence Manning

Patent number: 10977223Abstract: Example embodiments describe a data storage method and system. For example, the method described, performed by one or more processors, may comprise in an application for enforcing one or more policies for reading and writing data to a database receiving, over a data network, instructions for performing a read or write request for data, and sending the read or write request to a transaction manager for providing transactions for a key-value store of the database, the request being in accordance with one or more policies to be enforced by the enforcing application. The method may also comprise receiving, from the transaction manager, a response message based on operations performed by the transaction manager in response to the read or write request.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Palantir Technologies Inc.Inventors: Joseph Ellis, Jakub Kozlowski, James Baker, Mark Elliot

Publication number: 20200274868Abstract: Techniques for providing a credential of a secure data network to a computing device are described. In an example, a system stores an association between the computing device and a user account. The user account is also associated with a credential of the secure data network. The system receives a certificate of the computing device and determines the association between the computing device and the user account based on the certificate. Further, the system authenticates the computing device based on the association being determined to send to the computing device data, where this data is verified based on a private key of the system. The system receives a request of the computing device for the credential based on the data and sends the credential to the computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2019Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventors: Abraham Martin Passaglia, Andrew Roths, Paul Joseph Ellis
