Publication number: 20240145099Abstract: A respiratory disease analytics system provides respiratory disease risk reports to a patient, provider, or third-party entity describing a patient's risk of experiencing a medication usage event given data in a geographic region. Regional data, including air pollutant conditions, weather conditions, demographic information, built environment factors, and regional health conditions for a geographic region are accessed from other sources and assigned based on event data recorded during a medicament usage event, as collected by sensors associated with the patient's medicament device/s. The regional data is assigned to medicament usage events occurring within a period of time. The assigned regional data is analyzed to determine an expected number of medication usage events for the geographic region occurring over the period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Meredith A. Barrett, Michael J. Tuffli, Michael Lohmeier, Robert Austin Lee, Christopher Hogg, John David Van Sickle, Gregory F. Tracy, Nicholas John Hirons

Publication number: 20240080267Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a first node of a node cluster in a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN), traffic from a wide area network (WAN), assigning, by the first node of the node cluster, flow ownership of the traffic to the first node, and communicating, by the first node of the node cluster, the traffic to a local area network (LAN). The method also includes receiving, by the first node of the node cluster, return traffic from a second node of the node cluster and detecting, by the first node of the node cluster, a diversion of the return traffic. The method further includes relinquishing, by the first node of the node cluster, the flow ownership and assigning, by the first node of the node cluster, the flow ownership to the second node of the node cluster.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Laxmikantha Reddy Ponnuru, Arul Murugan Manickam, Michael David Tracy, Kannan Kumar, Hamzah Kardame

Patent number: 11405351Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes detecting by a first network element at a first data center site a local connection of an endpoint identifier (“EID”), in which the EID was previously locally connected to a second network element at a second data center site and notifying a mapping server of the local connection of the EID to the first network element. The method further includes receiving from the mapping server identifying information for the second network element and communicating with the second network element using the identifying information to obtain service information for traffic associated with the EID. The method may also include applying a service identified by the service information to outgoing traffic from the EID as well as applying a service identified by the service information to incoming traffic for the EID.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2021Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Zhang Xiaopu, Li Yan, Marco Pessi, Wei Ling, Michael David Tracy, Chen Zhang, Darrel Jay Lewis
