Publication number: 20230356996Abstract: A method of deploying a water intake device in a fuel storage tank involves providing a water intake device having an elongate flow structure including at least one flexible flow tube and an elongate substrate adjacent to the flow tube, wherein the substrate provides a semi-rigid characteristic that allows the elongate flow structure to be guided. Another step of the method involves providing a guide tube having a straight portion and an arcuate portion at a distal end of the guide tube. Another step of the method involves installing the guide tube generally vertically into a fuel storage tank with the arcuate portion directed toward a desired guidance direction. Another step of the method involves moving the elongate flow structure of the water intake device through the guide tube into a deployed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Richard GUZIK, Diane SINOSKY, James BEVINS

Patent number: 11634316Abstract: A fuel storage and supply arrangement serves as a source of fuel to be dispensed via at least one fuel dispenser in a fuel dispensing environment. The arrangement comprises a storage tank for containing a quantity of the fuel. A pump assembly draws the fuel from the storage tank providing the fuel under pressure to a fuel supply line. A fuel conditioning assembly includes a housing having a storage volume, a housing inlet receiving the fuel under pressure created by the pump assembly, a housing outlet through which fuel exits the housing, and a housing port through which fuel can be drawn into the housing. A vacuum source in fluid communication with the housing outlet is operative to selectively apply a vacuum to the outlet of the housing so that liquid can be drawn into the housing via the port. A water intake device is in fluid communication with the housing port. The water intake device has at least one inlet situated adjacent to a bottom of the fuel storage tank.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Veeder-Root CompanyInventors: Richard Guzik, Diane Sinosky, James Bevins

Publication number: 20220402749Abstract: A water intake device for use in a fuel storage tank comprises an elongate flow structure including a plurality of flexible flow tubes having respective first ends of different lengths and a second end at a common location. A header manifold is in fluid communication with the second ends of the flow tubes, the header manifold having a single connection port. In addition, the header manifold is configured to allow flow between the flow tubes and the connection port.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Richard GUZIK, Diane SINOSKY, James BEVINS

Patent number: 11356413Abstract: The present disclosure combines Software Defined Networks (SDN) concepts with Security concepts. The coordination between SDN and Security provides a myriad of advantageous use cases. One exemplary use case involves providing a fast path at network speeds using SDN by routing network traffic to bypass a security appliance once the security appliance determines that the security appliance no longer needs to inspect the network traffic. Another exemplary use case involves remote provisioning of security zones.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: McAfee, LLCInventors: Geoffrey Howard Cooper, John Richard Guzik

Patent number: 10826916Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses enable agent-less network traffic interception using an overlay network. The system creates an inspection namespace on a server computer and clones namespace properties of a default namespace on the server computer to the inspection namespace. The system creates an overlay network in the inspection namespace connecting the server computer to a security service. The system creates a namespace bridge between the default namespace and the inspection namespace to pass server traffic between the namespaces. The system then transmits server traffic to the security service using the overlay network and an encapsulation protocol.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: SHIELDX NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Manuel Nedbal, Ratinder Paul Singh Ahuja, John Richard Guzik

Patent number: 10652210Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment that includes receiving metadata from a host over a metadata channel. The metadata may be correlated with a network flow and a network policy may be applied to the connection. In other embodiments, a network flow may be received from a host without metadata associated with the flow, and a discovery redirect may be sent to the host. Metadata may then be received and correlated with the flow to identify a network policy action to apply to the flow.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: McAfee, LLCInventors: Geoffrey Cooper, Michael W. Green, John Richard Guzik

Patent number: 10642982Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that relate to network security within a virtual network, and how to add microservices in a scalable virtual network. For example, one embodiment discloses a method of receiving a deployment request to deploy a security microservice in a security service, the deployment request including a deployment specification. The method further includes determining whether an interface microservice is available on one or more hosts by accessing one or more host records for the one or more hosts, and selecting a host on which to deploy the security microservice utilizing the deployment specification. When the interface microservice does not exist on the selected host, the method further includes initializing the interface microservice on the selected host, attaching the interface microservice to a hypervisor of the selected host, connecting the security microservice to the interface microservice of the selected host, and deploying the security microservice on the selected host.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: SHIELDX NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Ratinder Paul Singh Ahuja, Manuel Nedbal, Meni Hillel, John Richard Guzik

Patent number: 10404838Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein generally relating to network security, and in particular, embodiments described generally relate to systems and methods for selecting microservices to process protocol data streams. For example, a method is disclosed, which calls for receiving a protocol packet, the protocol packet comprising a sequence number, generating a difference by subtracting a protocol message base from the sequence number, generating a first quotient by dividing the difference by a protocol common message length, generating a second value using the first quotient, determining a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) reassembly resource using the generated second value, and transmitting the protocol packet to the determined TCP reassembly resource.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: ShieldX Networks, Inc.Inventors: Ratinder Paul Singh Ahuja, Manuel Nedbal, Elanthiraiyan Ammoor Anbalagan, Lee Chik Cheung, Sumanth Gangashanaiah, John Richard Guzik
