Patent number: 10212059Abstract: An auditing system and method is configured to capture and report an interactive client journey between a web browser and a website. Instantiation of control code at an end-user computing device brings about the capture of server and request headers from the perspective of the locally-executing web browser. The control code causes the sending of an uplink journey report to a cloud-based processing server that uses the report to interpret the server and request headers to imply real-time interactions between the end-user. Capture may be based on AJAX requests related to end-user interaction; and data calls made to the e-commerce server during the web session. Client-side capture provides installation of control code that can be delivered directly from a content distribution network. The processing server correlates the server and request headers with predefined flagged events.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2016Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: USER REPLAY LIMITEDInventors: Philip Smith, Peter Western, Michael Simms

Patent number: 10178203Abstract: A server complex (102) includes an interface portal (116). The server complex exposes (401) a generic resource locator (402) pointing to the media content in a generic format at the interface portal. The server complex receives requests for media content (101) from at least a first client device (601) to receive the media content in a first format (603) and at least a second client device (602) to receive the media content in a second format (604). The server complex determines (405), from a header (407) of the request, whether the request is from the first client device or the second client device, generates (409) a response message (108) comprising a manifest file (109) comprising a device specific resource locator (410) pointing to the media content cached (412) in one of the first format or the second format, and transmits (411) the response message to the requesting client.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2014Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Vecima Networks Inc.Inventor: Aaron Michael Simms

Patent number: 10149930Abstract: A dressing system is disclosed which has a sponge and a near infrared spectroscopy sensor positioned adjacent to the sponge for monitoring oxygenation levels of tissue adjacent to the sponge. The dressing system may further include a tube coupled to the sponge for removing fluid from the sponge. The dressing system comprises: a sponge; and a tensioning system coupled to the sponge. The tensioning system further comprises a central longitudinal member coupled to the sponge; and at least one tensioning member coupled to the central longitudinal member. A sequential compression system comprises: an envelope sleeve dressing; and a bladder that is both expandable and retractable. A tissue filler system is also described and includes a plurality of tubes; wherein each of the plurality of tubes further comprises apertures; and a pump coupled to at least one of the tubes which obviates the need for any sponge or wound screen.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2013Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: J&M SHULER, INC.Inventor: Michael Simms Shuler

Patent number: 9785492Abstract: A method includes detecting a triggering event at a hypervisor, where the hypervisor is executed by a computing node. The method also includes capturing, from a memory device of the computing node using the hypervisor, one or more images of a basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computing node and/or a firmware of the computing node. The method further includes analyzing the one or more images to detect a problem with the computing node and taking at least one action in response to detecting the problem with the computing node. The one or more images are obtained by the hypervisor directly from the memory device.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2013Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Forcepoint LLCInventors: Matthew D. Neumann, Irby J. Thompson, Jr., Michael Simms

Patent number: 9734325Abstract: A method includes receiving a request at a first hypervisor from an application within a virtual machine. The virtual machine is executed within a virtualization layer supported by a second hypervisor, and the virtual machine and the hypervisors are executed by a computing node. The method also includes interrupting execution of the application and determining an authorization key using hashing operations performed by the first hypervisor based on measurements associated with the computing node and data associated with the first hypervisor. The method further includes storing the authorization key and resuming execution of the application. In addition, the method could include performing the receiving, interrupting, determining, storing, and resuming steps at each of multiple computing nodes in a computing cloud, where each computing node executes first and second hypervisors. The first hypervisors in the computing nodes can bind the virtual machine to the computing cloud.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2013Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Forcepoint Federal LLCInventors: Matthew D. Neumann, Irby J. Thompson, Jr., Michael Simms

Patent number: 9696940Abstract: A method includes receiving a request at a hypervisor from an application, where the application and the hypervisor are executed by a computing node. The request identifies a memory location in a memory device of the computing node, and the memory location is associated with a virtual machine executed by the computing node. The method also includes obtaining a snapshot of contents of the memory location in the memory device, where the snapshot is obtained by the hypervisor directly from the memory device. The method further includes providing the snapshot to the application. The application could form part of a second virtual machine that is executed by the computing node.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Forcepoint Federal LLCInventors: Matthew D. Neumann, Irby J. Thompson, Jr., Michael Simms

Patent number: 9497091Abstract: An auditing system and method are used to capture and report an interactive client journey between a web-browser and a website. Instantiation of control code at an end-user computing device, typically initiated in response to a tag embedded in a website, initiates capture of server and request headers from the perspective of the locally-executing web-browser. The control code causes the sending of an uplink journey report to a cloud-based processing server that uses the report to interpret the server and request headers to imply real-time interactions between the end-user, the web-browser executing on the computing device and the web-server. Client-side capture provides for easy installation of control code that can be delivered directly from a content distribution network. The processing server correlates the server and request headers with predefined flagged events related to at least one of operation of the web-server and data processing at the web-server.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2015Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: USER REPLAY LIMITEDInventors: Philip Smith, Peter Western, Michael Simms

Patent number: 9393354Abstract: A mechanical wound therapy (MWT) system includes a connection for a vacuum source, which is routed through an airtight covering to a porous material positioned over the wound. The porous material may be a tubing network interspaced by a netting material constructed of biologically inert or bioabsorbable material. Alternatively, the porous material may be a layered unified dressing in which layers of mesh, netting or thin perforated film are separated and fixedly attached to functional elements of the dressing (e.g., irrigation tubing) or spacers. The vacuum and irrigation systems may be completely separated. An airtight sealing layer or foldable adhesive sealing layer may seal the dressing and facilitate sealing the dressing to the wound margins. Additional modular devices such as a wound approximating system, positive pressure bladders and adjuvant therapy modules as well as enhanced monitoring technology can be added to synergistically increase the capabilities of each dressing.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2012Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: J&M Shuler Medical, Inc.Inventors: Brett A.
