Patent number: 10135827Abstract: A client computer hosts a virtual private network tool to establish a virtual private network connection with a remote network. Upon startup, the virtual private network tool collects critical network information for the client computer, and sends this critical network information to an address assignment server in the remote network. The address assignment server compares the critical network information with a pool of available addresses in the remote network, and assigns addresses for use by the client computer that do not conflict with the addresses for local resources. The address assignment server also provides routing information for resources in the remote network to the virtual private network tool. The virtual private network tool will postpone loading this routing information into the routing tables of the client computer until the client computer requests access to a specific resource in the remote network.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2016Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: SonicWALL Inc.Inventors: Paul Lawrence Hoover, Rodger Del Erickson, Bryan Sauve

Patent number: 4339022Abstract: A film wrapping dispenser having a fluid pressure actuated, controlled drag shaft is disclosed. It comprises a cylindrical, hollow tube wall which is formed of an extensible material which envelopes a fluid pressure-tight cavity. The tube wall rotatably engages an inner cylindrical bearing surface of a relatively rotating member. A controllable fluid pressure source is connected to the tube for selectively applying fluid pressure within the cavity to radially expand the tube wall. This enables the selective frictional engagement of the tube wall with the inner cylindrical surface of the member. The pressure source may be a bellows shaped as a handle which is integrally formed with the tube wall on one end of the cylinder. The tube and bellows may be precharged with a fluid pressure of sufficient magnitude to impart a relatively low degree of frictional engagement when the bellows is relaxed and to provide a relatively high degree of frictional engagement when the bellows is compressed.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1979Date of Patent: July 13, 1982Inventor: Lawrence Hoover
