Publication number: 20240330218Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface device that includes a direct memory access (DMA) circuitry; a network interface; at least two host interfaces to simultaneously connect to multiple platforms; an interface to a memory device; and circuitry. In some examples, at least two of the multiple platforms include a processor and a memory coupled to a circuit board. In some examples, the circuitry is to: based on a level of security classification of a second platform of the multiple platforms, perform secure transfer of data from a first platform of the multiple platforms to the second platform of the multiple platforms and enforce rules for data access and data transfer by the multiple platforms.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2024Publication date: October 3, 2024Inventors: Akhilesh S. THYAGATURU, Stanley MO, Jason M. HOWARD, Sanjaya TAYAL, Nicholas ROSS

Publication number: 20240191817Abstract: A magnetic coupling system that includes a first housing disposed about an end of a first conduit. The first housing includes an axially-extending annular flange. A first annular magnetic element, coupled to the first housing and concentric with the annular flange, has a first plurality of magnetic polarities disbursed thereabout. A second housing, disposed about an end of a second conduit, includes an axially-extending annular channel for engagement with the annular flange. A second annular magnetic element is coupled to the second housing and is concentric with the annular channel. An air gap is disposed between the first annular magnetic element and the second annular magnetic element when the annular flange is engaged in the annular channel. The second annular magnetic element has a second plurality of magnetic polarities disbursed thereabout.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: June 13, 2024Inventors: Nicholas Ross, Eric J. Miller, Shideh Naderi, Paul Bean, Jonathan Lopez-Zepeda, Francisco Pena

Publication number: 20240020428Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to generate and manage a firewall policy. An example includes interface circuitry, machine readable instructions, and programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to determine whether an operation is allowed to pass between a first component on a system-on-chip (SoC) and a second component on the SoC, detect an interconnect between the first component on the SoC and the second component on the SoC, cause the interconnect to filter the operation based on the determination of whether the operation is allowed to pass between the first component and the second component, and transmit a request to filter the operation based on the determination of whether the operation is allowed to pass between the first component and the second component.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Akhilesh Thyagaturu, Jason Howard, Nicholas Ross, Sanjaya Tayal, Vinodh Gopal

Publication number: 20210315366Abstract: An accessory for an electronic device or case for an electronic device that includes a walled loop defining a first end, a second end, and an opening extending between the first end and the second end. The walled loop is arranged to attach to a surface of an electronic device or case. An expandable grip accessory is disposed in the opening and movable in the opening of the walled loop between the first end and the second end of the walled loop. The expandable grip accessory has a first end coupled to the walled loop and a second end opposite the first end. The walled loop at least partially surrounds the first end of the expandable grip accessory.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2019Publication date: October 14, 2021Inventors: Edward Licitra, Nicholas Ross, Isamu Taguchi, Robert Lane

Patent number: 10419796Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method that includes receiving a satellite signal, measuring a quality of the satellite signal, determining whether the quality of the satellite signal falls below a threshold, determining a scheduled content of the satellite signal being viewed responsive to determining the quality of the satellite signal falls below the threshold, obtaining the scheduled content through a network connection as a replacement scheduled content responsive to determining the quality of the satellite signal falls below the threshold, presenting the replacement scheduled content in place of the scheduled content from the satellite signal, monitoring the quality of the satellite signal during the presenting of the replacement channel, and presenting the scheduled content from the satellite signal responsive to the monitoring detecting a satisfactory quality of the satellite signal over a predetermined period of time. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: The DIRECTV Group, Inc.Inventor: Nicholas Ross

Patent number: 10341868Abstract: Disclosed is a platform for providing computational resources at and/or near a mobile network perimeter. The platform may be used to provide computational resources adjacent a small cell radio via at least one Mobile Edge Compute (“MEC”) Appliance and at least one MEC Controller. The MEC Appliance can serve as the data plane to support data flow traffic. The MEC Controller can provide a micro-services architecture designed for resiliency, scalability, and extensibility. The platform can be used to de-centralize the mobile network operator's core network and/or associated macro-cell network topologies, generating a platform with enhanced flexibility, reliability, and performance. The platform can include a security architecture for effective privacy and access within a distributed topology of the network at and/or near the edge of the mobile network perimeter.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: SMART-EDGE.COM, INC.Inventors: Nicholas Ross, Robert Pike
