Publication number: 20190372765Abstract: The present invention relates to a cryptographic protocol, and a system for implementing said protocol, for providing overt ledger secured key escrow access to encrypted data. The invention uses a plurality of trustee systems, each holding a secret share of a secret, to validate requests for the secret from authorised third parties. When a valid request is made, each trustee system publishes its secret share to a ledger. The secret shares can be combined to reveal the encryption key only by the authorised third party. Requests for the encryption key, and the responses by the trustee systems, can be accessed by the owner of the encryption key to identify the requesting third party and to have proof that the key has been revealed to the third party.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2018Publication date: December 5, 2019Inventors: Roland Tegeder, Richard Sharp

Patent number: 9825373Abstract: A monopatch antenna system includes a ground plane, a patch antenna arranged parallel to the ground plane and having an aperture, and a monopole antenna extending perpendicularly to the ground plane through the aperture in the patch antenna. A feed system supplies a first portion of an RF signal to the patch antenna with a substantially circular polarization and simultaneously supplies a second portion of the RF signal to the monopole antenna with a linear polarization to produce a wide-beam composite antenna beam pattern having both linear and circular polarizations of the RF signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2015Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Harris CorporationInventor: Richard Sharp Smith

Patent number: 9344334Abstract: A networking policy implementation for a multi-virtual machine appliance that includes a method for selecting a network implementation by applying a network policy to existing network configurations within a virtualization environment of a computing device. A control program that executes within the virtualization environment, receives an event notification generated by a virtual machine in response to a lifecycle event. The control program, in response to receiving the notification, invokes a policy engine that applies a network policy to existing network configurations of the virtualization environment. This network policy can correspond to the virtual machine or to a network object connected to virtual interface objects of the virtual machine. The policy engine then identifies an existing network configuration that has attributes which satisfy the network policy, and selects a network implementation that satisfies the network policy and the network configuration.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2014Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Richard Sharp, David Scott

Patent number: 9286087Abstract: Storage optimization selection for virtual disks of a virtualization environment, where the storage optimization can be selected based in part on the disk type of a virtual disk included in a virtual machine. The disk type of the virtual disk can be discovered by the virtualization environment which queries a database within the virtualization environment for metadata associated with the virtual disk. The metadata can be created when a virtual desktop infrastructure creates the virtual disk, and a virtual machine template that includes the at least one virtual disk. The virtual disk can be modified to either include or be associated with the metadata that describes a disk type of the virtual disk. Upon executing the virtual machine that includes the modified virtual disk, a storage subsystem of the virtualization environment can obtain the metadata of the virtual disk to discover the disk type of the virtual disk.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Richard Sharp, David Scott

Patent number: 9266642Abstract: A light weight pressure vessel (10) has been proposed. The vessel (10) is made of a steel, aluminum or non-metal liner (11) which is reinforced with high strength steel wires (21) of 2000-7000 MPa strength. The matrix is filled with a polymer epoxy resin (45). A top layer of fabric tape (33) soaked in resin (45) has been used to embed the finish end (24) of the wire (21) and to provide a protective layer over the wire reinforced area. The mesh or net fabric wrap tape (33) has periodic openings to allow penetration of polymer epoxy resin (45). A top coat of a UV resistant polyurethane paint (47) has been applied.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2012Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: WireTough Cylinders, LLCInventors: Amit Prakash, George Richard Sharp, Brian Townsend Deeken, William James Head, William H Thomson

Patent number: 9069438Abstract: The performance monitoring system allocates virtual machines to users or user sessions according to a user categorization that is determine using user session information and virtual machine metrics. A session monitor of the performance monitoring system is notified that a user session terminated, where the user session accessed a virtual machine. The session monitor responsively records the user session information and obtains virtual machine metrics for the virtual machine from a virtual machine performance monitor. The performance monitoring system updates a user workload profile using the user session information and the virtual machine metrics, and categorizes the user of the user session according to the user workload profile. Upon receiving a request from a user for a virtual machine, a virtual desktop infrastructure requests a virtual machine from a virtual machine manager. The virtual machine manager responsively allocates a virtual machine to the user according to the user's categorization.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Richard Sharp, David Scott
