Publication number: 20250358260Abstract: Separating awareness of multipart file transmissions of different applications from traffic handling at a granularity of an individual application layer session facilitates efficient cybersecurity enforcement on multipart file transmissions. A protocol-based multipart file transmission regulator (“regulator”) determines a per session message handling action to prevent completion of a multipart file transmission based on a protocol of an application identified for the session until cybersecurity analysis can be performed. The regulator then communicates the message handling action to a network component supporting the session. The regulator maintains information and file chunks in a data store for active sessions and determines with the data store whether a condition for requesting cybersecurity analysis for a multipart file transmission is satisfied.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2025Publication date: November 20, 2025Inventors: Zihang Xiao, Lexuan Sun, Mengying Jiang, Li Meng

Patent number: 12143242Abstract: To reduce overhead generated by maintaining a full mesh network with static spoke-to-spoke tunnels while providing the efficiency of spoke-to-spoke communication, BGP configuration is automated to provide for dynamic establishment of spoke-to-spoke tunnels. A virtual Internet Protocol (VIP) address is assigned to each spoke in the network. Spokes advertises their VIP address to the hub for communication to the other spokes. A spoke sets the route next hop in its routing table for a remote spoke to the VIP of the remote spoke. Establishment of a tunnel between spokes is initiated after detecting data is to be communicated between the spokes while data is temporarily routed through the hub. Data is routed directly to the receiving spoke through the dynamic tunnel once the tunnel is active. Tunnels between spokes are terminated dynamically after a period of inactivity to reduce overhead caused by consistent maintenance of dynamic tunnels with low use.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2022Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Palo Alto Networks, Inc.Inventors: Li Meng, Dhwanit Shah

Publication number: 20240348646Abstract: Leveraging non-transient or persistent device identifiers to enforce device quarantine instead of IP addresses accommodates the transient associations of IP addresses to devices without compromising the effectiveness of quarantine. When a device has been determined to be compromised and is quarantined, the quarantine of the device is enforced using the IP address of the device. However, IP address assignment is transient. With each connection, a device can be assigned a different IP address. After a connection is established, a gateway can collect a device identifying value(s) that persists across network connections (e.g., host identifier (host ID) and device serial number). With a persistent device identifier, a quarantine list can be enforced in a data/forwarding plane regardless of a compromised device being assigned different network addresses.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2024Publication date: October 17, 2024Inventors: Li Meng, Sarveshwar Meta Rao, Soundarya Sivaramakrishnan, Xin Yao

Publication number: 20200199698Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method for reinforcing a rail by laser and auxiliary heat source efficient hybrid cladding. The laser and the auxiliary heat source simultaneously apply on a region to be cladded of a rail surface. The laser serves as a main heat source to enable simultaneous and rapid fusion of an added metal powder and partial substrate material in the rail surface to form a molten pool. The auxiliary heat source moves with the laser heat source in the same direction at the same speed, and performs synchronous preheating and/or post-heating on the laser molten pool, the heat-affected zone and the surface layer of the rail substrate to reduce the temperature gradient, thereby reducing the cooling rate, and avoiding martensite transformation and cracking in the heat-affected zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2019Publication date: June 25, 2020Applicants: Wuhan Hivalue Intelaser Ltd., Huazhong University of Science and Technology, WUHAN NRD LASER ENGINEERING CO.,LTDInventors: Xiaoyan ZENG, Li MENG, Dengzhi WANG, Qianwu HU, Pinghua Guo, Xiaohua XU, Li NIU
