  • Publication number: 20250240273
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for automatically generating, propagating, and applying digitally signed traffic policies to reduce the “surface area” that is vulnerable to cyber-attacks (e.g., volumetric distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, etc.), enhance network security and efficiency, and/or mitigate the impact of cyber-attacks. A network device may allow services running on network hosts to autonomously generate, sign, and propagate policies to the network edge. Network routers at the edge may use the digitally signed policies for dynamic filter creation and installation. These filters may restrict network traffic to only specified services and block all network traffic for non-specified services at the network's edge.

  • Patent number: 11736518
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments may enable the reduction of the impact of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) hijacks by automatically announcing more-specific route prefixes when a netblock is hijacked. In various embodiments, the more-specific route prefixes may be automatically withdrawn when the netblock hijacking stops.

  • Patent number: 11333625
    Abstract: A process for determining a content of hydrogen in a fluid medium includes contacting the fluid medium with a sensor. The sensor has a housing enclosing a chamber containing an ionic liquid electrolyte, a window which is permeable to hydrogen and positioned in an opening in the housing, and electrodes in contact with the ionic liquid electrolyte in the chamber. Hydrogen is allowed to pass through the window from the fluid medium into the electrolyte and the sensor is heated. Temperature and pressure of the fluid medium is determined and electrical potential is applied to the electrodes. The method also includes measuring current flow. The sensor can be used to observe hydrogen concentration by voltammetry. The method and sensor may be used for measuring downhole hydrogen content, monitoring fiber-optic cables for damage by hydrogen, corrosion monitoring, and in small-scale process plants where hydrogen is part of a gas stream.

  • Patent number: 10962499
    Abstract: A sensor for hydrogen in a fluid medium has a chamber for electrolyte with a window which is selectively permeable to hydrogen to allow hydrogen to pass from the fluid medium under test into the electrolyte in the chamber. A plurality of electrodes in contact with the ionic liquid electrolyte are used to observe hydrogen concentration by voltammetry. The electrolyte is an ionic liquid. Applications where such a sensor may be used include a wellbore tool for measuring the content of hydrogen in a subterranean fluid, monitoring of fiber-optic cables for damage by hydrogen, corrosion monitoring, and small-scale process plant where hydrogen is part of a gas stream.

  • Patent number: 10915591
    Abstract: Disclosed is a media acquisition engine that comprises an interface engine that receives a selection from a plug-in coupled to a media client engine where a client associated with the media client engine identified as subscribing to a cloud application imaging service. The media acquisition engine further comprises a media control engine that directs, in accordance with the selection, a physical device to image a physical object and produce a media item based on the image of the physical object, the physical device being coupled to a cloud client. The media acquisition engine also comprises a media reception engine that receives the media item from the physical device, and a translation engine that encodes the media item into a data structure compatible with the cloud application imaging service. The interface engine is configured to transfer the media item to the plug-in.

  • Publication number: 20200067970
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments may enable the mitigation of malicious botnets. Various embodiments may block communication of malicious botnets from customer computing devices to malicious command and control (C2) servers. Various embodiments may include mitigating botnets in a network by diverting Internet traffic bound for a malicious C2 server to a botnet mitigation controller of the network. In various embodiments, diverting Internet traffic may include programmatically injecting Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routes in a network to route Internet traffic bound for a malicious C2 server to a botnet mitigation controller of the network. In various embodiments, a botnet mitigation controller may determine whether diverted Internet traffic is malicious and may handle malicious diverted Internet traffic according to one or more security settings.

  • Patent number: 9232564
    Abstract: Embodiments provide WiFi and LTE tailored transceiver radio frequency (RF) filtering techniques and configurations to enable coexistence between WiFi and LTE transceivers operating in close proximity. In particular, embodiments provide filtering techniques to reject emissions from LTE into WiFi, and vice versa. The filtering techniques eliminate the need for additional isolation between LTE and WiFi antennas (approximately 50 dB), which is beyond what is achievable in practice. Embodiments can be tailored according to different use cases of the WiFi and LTE transceivers (e.g., fixed CPE, portable router, smart phone with tethering).

  • Patent number: 8811918
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention recognize at least two zones of operation for a communication device. In a first zone, which is sufficiently spaced away from a human head or body that SAR limits will be met, transmit power delivered to an antenna of a communication device may be maximized within any other constraints under which the communication device operates. In a second zone, which is not sufficiently spaced away from a human head or body, transmit power is redistributed such that SAR limitations are met without affecting the transmit power control loop of the communication device. For example, a second antenna physically disposed at a different location within the communication device may be used either instead of, or in addition to, the first transmit antenna in order that the SAR limits are met.
