Publication number: 20180302366Abstract: A technique for facilitating registration of an internet domain name with the domain name system (DNS) is presented. The technique can include receiving a request to register an encoding domain name with the DNS, the encoding domain name including an indication of a temporal event and of a target domain name. The technique can also include registering the encoding domain name to a registrant, where the registering the encoding domain name confers to the registrant a right to register the target domain name upon specified conditions, where the specified conditions include an occurrence of the temporal event. The technique can also include receiving a request initiated by the registrant to register the target domain name, and registering the target domain name to the registrant after satisfaction of the specified conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2017Publication date: October 18, 2018Inventors: Burton S.

Patent number: 9172673Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium, is described that enables a domain name registrant the ability to exchange their existing domain in favor of a new domain without incurring additional domain registration fees and without affecting the other data fields of the existing domain. Once the domain exchange service is added to the domain registration, the registrant can exchange the domain name as often as it likes in accordance with the business rules of the registry until the domain exchange service expires.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2010Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: VERISIGN, INCInventors: William Shorter, James Gould, Joseph Waldron, Patrick Kane, Suzanna Strier, Srikanth Veeramachaneni

Publication number: 20130085932Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium, is described that implements a repository object history (“WhoWas”) service that receives a WhoWas query to retrieve historical information about a repository object's change history, including a domain's registration activity. The WhoWas service searches repository object history information, formats it, and returns the results. The WhoWas service may be restricted to authorized users and may charge a fee for use. The service may also perform statistical data gathering based on historical WhoWas information, including on subsets of domains based on particular domain characteristics. In addition, historic IP address information and location information may be gathered and returned.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2011Publication date: April 4, 2013Inventors: Joseph Waldron, Jasenko Ibrahimbegovic

Patent number: 7249284Abstract: A technique is provided for designing and evaluating service models for components, functions, subsystems and field replaceable units in a complex machine system. At a component or item level, each model identifies various items, failure modes, and so forth which may be the root cause of anticipated serviceable events or faults. The design tools permit numerous interfaces to be used in the design of service models, and in the evaluation of the degree to which the models address detectability and isolation capabilities for the root causes of serviceable events and faults.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2003Date of Patent: July 24, 2007Assignee: GE Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Rasiklal Punjalal Shah, Vrinda Rajiv, Mark David Osborn, Catherine Mary Graichen, Amey Sudhakar Joshi, Sreevidya Sambasivan, Jieqian Cathy Chen, Ernest Joseph Waldron

Publication number: 20070056250Abstract: Devices comprising a plug positioned within a housing to regulate air within a container, for example, plastic storage containers or bags. One embodiment utilizes a plug that occludes an opening in a housing. The plug is displaced from the opening to inject or evacuate air from a container. An alternative embodiment utilizes a plug having air channels therein which can be sealed once air has been injected into or evacuated from a container. The devices are utilized with hose adaptors connected to vacuum or air hoses having specialized hose tips for coupling with the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2006Publication date: March 15, 2007Inventor: Joseph Waldron

Publication number: 20070056249Abstract: A device comprising a plug positioned within a housing to regulate air within a container, for example, plastic storage containers or bags. The plug is positioned within the housing to occlude a port hole in the housing. The housing is positioned within a container so the port hole faces a wall of the container. A hole is created in said container above the port hole. To evacuate or inject air into the container, a hose adaptor with a specialized hose tip is connected to a vacuum or air hose. When inserted into the port hole, the hose tip temporarily displaces the plug from the port hole. Vents within the housing allow air to move through the housing and into or out of the hose tip. Removal of the hose tip allows the plug to resume position over the port hole to maintain the vacuum or air pressure within the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2005Publication date: March 15, 2007Inventor: Joseph Waldron

Publication number: 20040193938Abstract: A serviceability strategy is established that permits the definition of a plurality of service models for components, functions, subsystems and field replaceable units in a complex machine system, as well as the implementation of the models for rendering service as serviceable events and faults occur, and for improvement of the models over time. The models may be dedicated in such a manner as to be selectable for addressing detectable and isolatable root causes of serviceable events as they occur, and the proper models are selected as such events occur based upon predefined indicators. As service events arise over time and are addressed by recommendations made by each model, data is gathered and serves as the basis for evolving the models so as to more appropriately address root causes of serviceable events and faults, and to improve the selection of the models most apply suited to addressing serviceable events and faults.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2003Publication date: September 30, 2004Inventors: Rasiklal Punjalal Shah, Steven Hector Azzaro, Richard Lee Frowein, Ernest Joseph Waldron, Stephen Robert Crowley
