  • Patent number: 12273273
    Abstract: Mobile management method, system and client. The method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on a client; retrieving reputation data associated with the host name from a local cache on the client; determining a policy for the host name, which is associated with the host name and the reputation data associated with the host name; based on the determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to the host name; sending at least attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on the client; and transmitting the attempted network flow metadata in the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel.

  • Patent number: 12263380
    Abstract: It is described a method for continuous measurement of, and regulatory feedback for, strength-training where the reaction forces from a person with a lifting weight that is standing on a surface, is transferred through the surface, said method comprising the following steps: a. measure a force in vertical direction (Z-direction) on one or more plates attached to one or more load cells; b. use the force measurement in step a) to continuous calculating the velocity of, and relative movement of the combined center of mass of the person and the lifting weight, c. provide feedback in real-time to the user, where the feedback relates to velocity and/or lifting distance in relation to predefined values and/or generated values, in order to the user to adjust the training based on the feedback.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11825815
    Abstract: A buoyancy system is for a fish pen. The fish pen has an enclosure for keeping fish confined in the fish pen, the enclosure being secured to an inner flexible buoyancy body floating on a water surface. The buoyancy system has an outer buoyancy body on the outside of the inner buoyancy body. The inner buoyancy body is attached to the outer buoyancy body with a mooring so that the outer buoyancy body and the inner buoyancy body move independently of each other relative to waves.
