Publication number: 20220121724Abstract: A server receives from a client device that is executing a web browser application a request to initiate a remote application in the server. The server instantiates an instance of the remote application. The server intercepts draw commands associated with the remote application instance. The server provides the draw commands to the client to cause the web browser application to render portion(s) of output based on the draw commands. The server receives an input event from the web browser application. The server provides the client one or more draw commands based on the input event to cause the web browser application to render portion(s) of output based on those draw commands.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2021Publication date: April 21, 2022Inventors: Trevor Sundberg, Killian Koenig, Darren Remington, Benjamin Buzbee, Michael Conrad, David Harnett

Patent number: 11219343Abstract: A potting training device for preventing a potty training child's urine stream from passing through an opening between the toilet seat and the toilet bowl is made of a flexible, water-resistant, preferably non-porous material, having a bendable urine-deflector and a plurality of attachment tabs positioned at the top of, and substantially at right angles to, the bendable urine-deflector, thereby forming an L-shaped configuration. An adhesive material is applied to the surface of each attachment tab and attaches the attachment tabs to the underside of the toilet seat. When not attached to the underside of the toilet seat, the bendable urine-deflector has a flat configuration. In order to attach the potty training device to the underside of the toilet seat, it is manipulated into a curved configuration that matches the curvature of the toilet seat, and is attached thereto.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: FOR KIDS BY PARENTS, INC.Inventors: Joseph Michael Conrad, III, Kurt G.

Publication number: 20200252413Abstract: A client device instantiates an isolator application. A request to instantiate a remote application in a server device is sent by the isolator application instance. The isolator application instance receives, from the remote application instance, draw commands and position information that correspond to the draw commands. The isolator application instance renders one or more portions of output based on the draw commands and the position information.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2020Publication date: August 6, 2020Inventors: Benjamin Buzbee, Killian Koenig, Trevor Sundberg, Michael Conrad, Darren Remington, David Harnett

Publication number: 20200250323Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for application isolation by remote-enabling applications are provided. Example embodiments provide an Adaptive Rendering Application Isolation System (“ARAIS”), which transparently enables applications to run in an isolated execution environment yet be rendered locally in a manner that facilitates preventing theft of sensitive information while allowing users to interact with any third-party application or website via the local environment without overburdening available bandwidth or computational resources by, in some cases, evaluating only select information responsive only to select events, as compared to whitelist/blacklist techniques, monitoring all information provided by the user, or other techniques. The ARAIS typically includes an orchestrator server that comprises one or more of a sensitive-information theft-prevention logic engine, information-theft prevention engines, or a rules engine.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2019Publication date: August 6, 2020Inventors: Darren Remington, Michael Conrad, Killian Koenig, Trevor Sundberg, David Harnett

Patent number: 10650166Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for application isolation by remote-enabling applications are provided. Example embodiments provide an Adaptive Rendering Application Isolation System (“ARAIS”), which transparently and dynamically enables applications to run in an isolated execution environment yet be rendered locally in a manner that minimizes the amount of data to be transferred and the latency caused by expensive computation and/or by overburdening available bandwidth by remoting rendering using draw commands over rendering using pixel pushing or other techniques. In one embodiment, the ARAIS includes an orchestrator server which comprises remoting level determination logic and rules engine, pre-computed graphics libraries, connection support logic, data repositories for objects such as a render cache, whitelists, blacklists, client privileges, and application information, and one or more secure containers running remote application instances.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2019Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: CLOUDFLARE, INC.Inventors: Trevor Sundberg, Killian Koenig, Darren Remington, Benjamin Buzbee, Michael Conrad, David Harnett

Publication number: 20190230870Abstract: The following invention is a system for protecting tall bamboo plants from winter weather. The system includes several improvements over existing plant covers. It uses a simple method involving a vertical funnel for covering bamboo. A two-piece funnel is clamped around the base of the bamboo. A long strip of fabric with hook and loop on both sides is connected to the bottom of the funnel. The funnel is then pulled by a rope to the top of the bamboo. The hook and loop is fastened around the bamboo while the funnel is raised. A wireless relay allows the funnel and sleeve to be remotely disconnected. For extra cold protection and aesthetic beauty, Christmas lights can easily be included inside the cover.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2018Publication date: August 1, 2019Inventor: Michael Conrad Shaffer
