  • Publication number: 20240113974
    Abstract: Mobile management method, system and client. Method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on client; retrieving reputation data associated with host name from a local cache on client; and determining a policy based on host name and the reputation data. Based on determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to host name to produce blocked attempted network flows. Method also includes sending attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on client; transmitting the attempted network flow metadata from the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel; and producing an anomaly report from the transmitted attempted network flow metadata. The anomaly report includes at least one of anomalies, cohorts, trends, location boundaries, detected network security issues, detected compromised clients and/or optimized network usage.

  • Publication number: 20240106883
    Abstract: A method for sharing digital content includes determining whether a first computing device is physically located within a defined geographical area, if the first computing device is physically located within the defined geographical area, providing access of shareable digital content to the first computing device, instantiating a tethering object associated with the shareable digital content, the tethering object including at least a first endpoint at the first computing device and a second endpoint at a second computing device remote from the first computing device, and providing access of at least a portion of the shareable digital content, via the tethering object, to the second endpoint at the second computing device remote from the first computing device. Other example methods and computer systems for implementing content sharing methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11917408
    Abstract: A controller and method of controlling a mobile device. The controller is coupled to a mobile device through a mobile communications environment. The controller is coupled to the mobile communications environment at a location remote from the mobile device, and includes a receiver that receives data from the mobile device, a processor that evaluates the data received from the mobile device based upon rules for the mobile device, and a transmitter that sends data to the mobile device to at least one of alert the user to a condition and modify current operating parameters on the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20170089515
    Abstract: A safety deck clamp for removably attaching and supporting the pole of deck torch or other item to a vertical deck rail. The safety clamp may be molded as a unitary part and formed with a three-sided yoke at one end substantially in a U-shape with a pair of resilient arms, the yoke being joined to an annular collar by a neck. The arms extend to a pair of detent prongs shaped as inwardly-facing right triangles that slightly overhang the arms. The resiliency of the arms works with the overhanging triangles to releasably lock the deck clamp onto the vertical deck rail. A circular collar supported by the neck has a closed or open circular recess for insertion of the torch pole. In addition, a shoulder is offset beneath the arms of the yoke for biting and supporting the clamp against the vertical deck rail.
