Patent number: 10547616Abstract: Systems and methods are described that support information security and sub-system operational conformance with protocols. In some embodiments, agent access to resources can be controlled via generation of credentials and/or tokens and/or conditioned external authentication. In some embodiments, workflows used to assess protocol conformance can be conditionally triggered at sub-systems.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2017Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Stephen R. Carter, Lee Edward Lowry, Paul Alexandre Turner, Robert Mark Ward, Lloyd Leon Burch, Dale Robert Olds, Duane Fredrick Buss

Patent number: 10282198Abstract: Mechanisms to persist object relations are provided. A project is defined as a series of interrelated objects having dependencies and relationships with one another. The dependencies and relationships are maintained via a storage organization for files that define the objects within a project storage environment for the project. Thus, the dependencies and relationships are not maintained via hardcoded instructions or references that are included within the files.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2014Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Micro Focus Software Inc.Inventors: Lee Edward Lowry, Rajesh Vasudevan, Brent Thurgood, Ryan Cox, Zack Grossbart, William Street, Volker Gunnar Scheuber-Heinz, Stephen R Carter

Patent number: 9952968Abstract: Techniques for distributed cache management are provided. A server having backend resource includes a global cache and a global cache agent. Individual clients each have client cache agents and client caches. When data items associated with the backend resources are added, modified, or deleted in the client caches, the client cache agents report the changes to the global cache agent. The global cache agent records the changes and notifies the other client cache agents to update a status of the changes within their client caches. When the changes are committed to the backend resource each of the statuses in each of the caches are updated accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2010Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Micro Focus Software, Inc.Inventors: Lee Edward Lowry, Brent Thurgood, Stephen R Carter

Patent number: 9515948Abstract: Techniques for generic data access are provided. A middle-tier server agent uses data providers that can communicate with backend resources. A request received in a first format is used to identify a specific data provider by the middle-tier server agent; the data provider uses the first format to communicate with a specific backend resource in a second format. Results from the specific backend resource are returned from the data provider in the first format and passed to a client that initially made the request.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2013Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: Novell, Inc.Inventors: Lee Edward Lowry, Brent Thurgood, Stephen R Carter

Patent number: 9449298Abstract: Techniques managing complex dependencies in a file-based team environment are provided. A software module is represented as an object. The object is defined via a file. The file includes relationships, and some of the relationships define dependencies to other objects. In some cases, attributes for the object are also included in the file and are defined via references to still other objects. The relationships and the attributes are carried with the object via the file.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2008Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Lee Edward Lowry, Rajesh Vasudevan, Brent Thurgood, Ryan Cox, Zack Grossbart, William Street, Volker Gunnar Scheuber-Heinz, Stephen R Carter

Patent number: 9123006Abstract: Techniques for parallel business intelligence and management are provided. Data is collected from a variety of disparate sources and from a variety of disparate network locations. The data is then filtered and normalized. Next, relationships between elements in the data are established and correlations are created between the elements. The elements are then tagged and integrated with other data of a distributed knowledge store to create customized business intelligence reports and customized data visualizations.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2009Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: Novell, Inc.Inventors: Stephen R Carter, Lee Edward Lowry, Vernon Roger Holm, Atul Mahajan
-
Patent number: 9058579Abstract: Techniques for project management instantiation and configuration are provided. A master project includes policy directives that drive the dynamic instantiation and configuration of resources for a project. The resources are instantiated and configured on demand and when resources are actually requested, in response to the policy directives.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2014Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Novell, Inc.Inventors: Michel Shane Simpson, Volker Gunnar Scheuber-Heinz, Lee Edward Lowry, Stephen R Carter
-
Patent number: 9052960Abstract: Techniques for mapping and managing resources are presented. Hardware capacity and information is collected over multiple processing environments for hardware resources. The information is mapped to logical business resources and resource pools. Capacity is rolled up and managed within logical groupings and the information gathering is managed via in-memory and on-file caching techniques.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2012Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: NetIQ CorporationInventors: Lee Edward Lowry, Michael Joseph Sorensen
-
Patent number: 8959578Abstract: Techniques for project lifecycle staged-based access control are provided. Access control rights are defined for a stage of a project's lifecycle. As requestors transition to the stage, the access control rights are enforced on top of any existing security restrictions. In an embodiment, selective resources are not visible to requestors within the stage in response to the access control rights.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2013Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michel Shane Simpson, Volker Gunnar Scheuber-Heinz, Lee Edward Lowry, William Street

Patent number: 8806499Abstract: Mechanisms to build dynamic locations to reduce brittleness in a team environment are provided. A project includes resources, each resource is assigned a key. Each key is mapped to a current location for its corresponding resource. The keys and locations are maintained in an index. Locations for the resources can change as desired throughout the lifecycle of the project and as changes occur the index is updated. When references are made within the project to the resources, the references are translated to the keys, if necessary. The keys are then used for accessing the index and dynamically acquiring the current locations for the resources at the time the references are made.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2008Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Novell, Inc.Inventors: Brent Thurgood, Lee Edward Lowry, Zack Grossbart, Stephen R Carter

Patent number: 8682706Abstract: Techniques for temporarily holding project stages are provided. Resources and configuration information associated with a source stage of project's lifecycle are imaged in a self-contained project package. The package is published to an intermediate holding area. The package is pulled to and initiated within a target stage of the project's lifecycle when release and access criteria are satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2007Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michel Shane Simpson, Volker Gunnar Scheuber-Heinz, Lee Edward Lowry, Stephen R.
