Patent number: 11327064Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring a process includes a housing with a viewing panel. The viewing panel includes a view port. An emitter generates light and illuminates an observation zone of the process. A detector is disposed within the housing and is configured to detect light entering the housing through the view port and create a plurality of images of the process in the observation zone. A thermal regulation system is configured to generate heat in the vicinity of the viewing panel of the housing so as to increase the temperature of at least the view port above ambient temperature.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2018Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: J.M. CANTY, INC.Inventors: Thomas Canty, Michael Rizzo, Meredith McDonald, Colleen Kelley, Justin Halbach

Patent number: 9794189Abstract: A service platform for a content delivery network indicates a transmission rate cap to be imposed when streaming data to a data requesting device over an access network. Means are provided for receiving a service request for delivery of data from a requesting device as the result of which the requested data is delivered as a prioritised traffic stream over an access link to the requesting device. The service platform processes the service request to determine one or more performance characteristics of said access link and uses this to determine the maximum transmission rate for the requested data to be streamed at over the access link during its delivery to the requesting device. This information is included in a source address for the requested data which the service platform generates, typically as a URL.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANYInventor: Michael Rizzo

Patent number: 9497065Abstract: A service session resource manager (72) for use in a router (18) capable of routing a plurality of at least partially contemporaneous service sessions over a communications line is described which mediates between services competing for bandwidth. The service session manager (72) updates its internal state based on both mediation enabled (22b) and mediation non-enabled (22a) devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2012Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONSInventors: Michael Rizzo, Steven Rudkin

Patent number: 9380028Abstract: Data messages having secure data location addresses other than a predefined set are handled by a user terminal (14) in the normal way by setting up a secure tunnel (181) to a server specified in the data message (16). As this would prevent any proxy server from performing any processing on the content of the data message, messages that require the proxy to perform process on the data messages are processed separately. Data messages (251) incorporating secure media access locators identifying a predefined set of known media servers are identified by a message processing function (41, 410, 44) and passed to a proxy server over a connection between the user terminal and the proxy which does not tunnel past the proxy server, such that the proxy server may generate a redirected media access locator for return to the user terminal (14).Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2012Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: British Telecommunications PLCInventors: Michael Rizzo, Paul Martin Skirrow

Publication number: 20140359748Abstract: A media asset location request redirection system causes a user terminal (11) to redirect first media asset location data (22) relating to a first content delivery network (16) such that the media asset location request is directed to a second content delivery platform (17), by means of a proxy redirection server (18) which translates the first media asset location data (21, 251) into second media asset location data (26) relating to the second content delivery network. Use of the proxy redirection server (18) is controlled by an authentication process, in which the user terminal (11) and proxy redirection server (18) perform a mutual authentication process to determine whether the redirection server (18) should accept the request for a media asset location.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2012Publication date: December 4, 2014Inventors: Michael Rizzo, Paul Martin Skirrow

Publication number: 20140344908Abstract: An asset location request redirection system (18) receives first asset location data (251) from a user terminal. The first asset location data relates to a first content delivery network, and the redirection system (18) generates a signed second asset location data (26) for return to the user terminal, allowing it to retrieve content from a second content delivery network. The second content delivery network uses authentication data (36, 37) in the signed second asset location to determine whether the asset location request is authentic and to be met. Such data may include confirmation that the requesting terminal has passed a validity check (35), and that the signed location data has not exceeded an expiry date.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2012Publication date: November 20, 2014Applicant: BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANYInventors: Michael Rizzo, Paul Martin Skirrow

Patent number: 8843313Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus are disclosed for multipath isolation through the combined use of antenna diversity and frequency diversity. In particular, the present disclosure utilizes antenna diversity and frequency diversity to combat the deleterious effects of reflected signals on the positioning accuracy of satellite navigation systems. In at least one embodiment, the present disclosure uses two antennas and two frequencies for operation with a satellite navigation system. The present disclosure segregates the antennas and frequencies into two classes: references and monitors. The reference measurements are used for estimating the state of the vehicle, and the monitor measurements are used to detect faults that might degrade the reference estimation. Thus, the present disclosure enables an improvement in the positioning error experienced by roving users in downtown and indoor environments.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2012Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Per K. Enge, Bart Ferrell, Gregory M. Gutt, James C. Lassa, Michael A. Rizzo, David A. Whelan
