  • Publication number: 20190007455
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a host name resolution file by a client security manager are provided. In one embodiment, a client security manager acquires a remote host name resolution file maintained by a remote server or a network security appliance and imports the remote host name resolution file into a local host name resolution file of the client computer system. The local host name resolution file is used for resolving host names to internet protocol (IP) addresses on the client computer system.

  • Patent number: 10120671
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes saving a copy of a client computing environment to a computer memory on the host system. The processor writes an image of the client computing environment based on the saved copy of the client computing environment. The image includes an application layer, a middleware layer, and a system layer, and is based on the copy of the client computing environment. The image is extractable as a sub-image that includes one or more of the application layer, the middleware layer, and the system layer. The image includes a resource pattern having dependencies that associate two or more of the application layer, the middleware layer, and the system layer, such that the sub-image is combinable with an existing active container operating on a second computing system. The combination results in a functional copy of the client computing system with the changes extracted from the sub-image.

  • Patent number: 9922044
    Abstract: A method for synchronizing file paths associated with computer files based on file path modifications is provided. The method may include detecting a file path modification to a referenced file path associated with a computer file. The method may also include identifying a type of the file path modification. The method may further include identifying a generated file path based on the type of the file path modification. Additionally, the method may include synchronizing the referenced file path to the generated file path. The method may also include modifying the file path information associated with the computer file. The method may further include generating association information in a file properties window associated with the referenced file path and the at least one generated file path. The method may also include validating and extracting the file path information associated with the computer file for use by at least one application.

  • Patent number: 9859897
    Abstract: An integrated circuit for configuring and reconfiguring a configuration shift register (CSR) partial reconfiguration region is disclosed. The integrated circuit includes a CSR chain that is partitioned into a group of CSR partial reconfiguration regions. A multiplexer circuit is added to the end of each PR region to allow the PR region to be bypassed or connected to the next PR region. Each PR region is connected to a PR circuit that facilitates the CSR configuration of the respective PR region. The PR circuit includes region enable circuitry and region control circuitry. Region enable circuitry enables the configuration of the CSR PR region. Region control circuitry generates local reconfiguration control signals to control the configuration operation of the enabled CSR PR region.
