  • Patent number: 11000311
    Abstract: Tactile sensing devices, systems, and methods to image a target tissue location are disclosed. When force is applied onto a tissue surface using the tactile sensing device, sensors of a sensor array output voltage signals to a computing device and display screen operatively connected to the sensor array. The sensor array relays its output voltage signals to the computing device, the computing device processes the output voltage signals, and an image of the output voltage signals is visualized on the display screen to help identify a target tissue insertion site.

  • Patent number: 10534141
    Abstract: A terminus for a fiber optic cable includes a ferrule. In one embodiment, an optical fiber of the cable passes through a central bore of the ferrule and is attached to a lens seated in a conical or cylindrical seat formed in an end surface of the ferrule by an epoxy. In a second embodiment, an optical fiber of the cable passes through the central bore of the ferrule. Next, a cap sleeve with a lens therein is slid over and attached to the ferrule such that the lens abuts or is attached to the optical fiber. In either embodiment, an inspection slot may optionally be formed in the ferrule and/or the cap sleeve to allow a technician to inspect the state of the attachment and/or abutment and/or spacing of the optical fiber and the lens.

  • Patent number: 9317692
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and system for automated risk analysis. The method includes accessing host configuration information of a host and querying a vulnerability database based on the host configuration information. The method further includes receiving a list of vulnerabilities and accessing a plurality of vulnerability scores. The list of vulnerabilities corresponds to vulnerabilities of the host. Vulnerabilities can be removed from the list based on checking for installed fixes corresponding to vulnerability. A composite risk score can then be determined for the host and each software product of the host based on the plurality of vulnerability scores. An aggregate risk score can then be determined for the host and each software product of the host based on the plurality of vulnerability scores.

  • Patent number: 9135293
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the model information of a device. A mapping database that maps a plurality of network device identifiers of a set of devices to model information of the devices may be automatically created. A request to determine model information of an unknown based on a network device identifier of the unknown device may then be received. The database may be analyzed to determine the model information of the unknown device. For example, the model information of the unknown device may be determined by extrapolating it based on the network device identifier of the device and the database information.

  • Patent number: 9007955
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for mapping network topologies may include (1) identifying a network including a plurality of network switches and a plurality of host systems, (2) identifying a host system within the plurality of host systems connected to the network via a network switch within the plurality of network switches, (3) refreshing an address of the host system within the network switch, (4) allowing the address of the host system to expire from each network switch within the plurality of network switches except the network switch, (5) transmitting a probing frame from a probing host system within the plurality of host systems to the address of the host system, (6) identifying a subset of host systems within the plurality of host systems that received the probing frame, and then (7) mapping a topology of the network based on the identified subset. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8317640
    Abstract: A bat having a handle portion, a transition portion attached to the handle portion, and a barrel portion attached to the transition portion. The area(s) adjacent to the central portion of the barrel have an increased performance with respect to the central portion of the barrel to effectively enlarge the sweet spot, or preferred hitting area. At least one tubular member of the barrel is circumferential aligned and axially spaced from another tubular member.
