Patent number: 11979292Abstract: Network rules established on a device can establish communication protocol between applications running on the device and interfaces connected to the device. For example, a network rule can establish which application(s) can access which interface(s), and when an application is not assigned to an interface, the application is not granted network access to the interface(s). In some instances, interfaces can be aggregated together to create an aggregation (e.g., link aggregation or a bridge aggregation), thus allowing the network rule to use the aggregation for multiple applications. An aggregation, such as a link aggregation, can be established as a shared rule that allows access to the interface by multiple applications. Alternatively, an aggregation, such as a bridge aggregation, can be established as a reserve rule that permits only a particular application, and no other application(s), access to the interface.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: CA, Inc.Inventors: Mark McConnaughay, Ronald Andrew Frederick, Szaniszlo Tyler Szepesi

Publication number: 20240116305Abstract: A light-emitting module structure comprises a support substrate and a micro-module disposed on or in the support substrate that extends over only a portion of the support substrate. The micro-module comprises a rigid module substrate, an inorganic light-emitting diode, a power source, and a control circuit. The inorganic light-emitting diode, the power source, and the control circuit are disposed on or in the module substrate and the control circuit receives power from the power source to control the inorganic light-emitting diode to emit light. A light conductor is disposed on or in the support substrate and in alignment with the micro-module so that the inorganic light-emitting diode is disposed to emit light into the light conductor and the light conductor conducts the light beyond the micro-module to emit the light from the light conductor.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Mark Willner, Ronald S.

Publication number: 20240048590Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include replacing, by a DNS proxy in DNS responses, a cryptographic key associated with a client-facing server for an origin content server with another cryptographic key received from a TLS proxy. A device may encrypt an extension of a ClientHello message with the other cryptographic key, such that the encrypted ClientHello (ECH) extension can be decrypted by the TLS proxy. The TLS proxy can then allow or deny the connection using a TLS intercept policy and decrypted information in the ClientHello message, and if the TLS connection is allowed, re-encrypt the ECH with the cryptographic key in the DNS response for the client-facing server to decrypt for establishment of the TLS connection with the origin content server. To preserve selective intercept while using ECH, a TLS Intercept Policy may be used to decide whether the TLS proxy feeds an Application Layer Proxy.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2022Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Roelof Nico DU TOIT, Gary TOMIC, Ronald Andrew FREDERICK

Patent number: 11888997Abstract: A computing resource service provider provides a certificate management service that allows customers of the computing resource service provider to create, distribute, manage, and revoke digital certificates issued by public and/or private certificate authorities. In an embodiment, customers may use the certificate management service to generate private certificate authority which can issue signed certificates to network entities within the customer enterprise. In an embodiment, the private certificate authority is hosted by the computing resource service provider, and the certificate management service automates the renewal and management of active certificates. In an embodiment, the certificate management service allows customer applications to create, renew, and revoke certificates issued by both private and public certificate authorities via an application programming interface.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2018Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peter Zachary Bowen, Todd Lawrence Cignetti, Preston Anthony Elder, III, Brandonn Gorman, Ronald Andrew Hoskinson, Jonathan Kozolchyk, Kenneth Lawler, Marcel Andrew Levy, Kyle Benjamin Schultheiss, Sandeep Shantharaj, Param Sharma, Jose Maria Silveira Neto

Patent number: 11846479Abstract: Firearms, and components of firearms, improve shooting accuracy and tolerance to debris/elements that may enter the receiver during use of the firearm in the field. The outer surface of the barrel and the receiver inner surface, and/or the bolt lugs and the receiver inner surface may feature tight-tolerance or press-fit mating, to enhance axial alignment for shooting accuracy. The bolt lugs may be configured to provide said tight-tolerance mating with the receiver when in the loaded and locked position, but may also be configured to provide space for accommodating debris/elements that enter the firearm so that bolt movement is not hindered by the debris/elements, and operation of the bolt, including cycling of the bolt in the firearm action when the shooter goes to load the next round, is smooth and consistent.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Inventor: Ronald Andrew Foster

Patent number: 11712588Abstract: A door breaching device includes a longitudinal chassis having a first extremity, a piston assembly with a piston rod adapted for linear displacement within a piston chamber, a hydraulic pump operatively connected to the piston assembly, and a two-part head assembly with a fixed jaw attached to the first extremity of the longitudinal chassis and a moveable jaw operatively connected to an end of the piston rod proximate to the first extremity. When the device is in a rest position, the piston rod is in a retracted position within the piston chamber to allow portions of the fixed jaw and the moveable jaw to fit between a first surface and a second surface. Upon actuation of the door breaching device, the piston rod is linearly displaced from the retracted position and the movable jaw applies a force to increase a distance between the first surface and the second surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2022Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: OFF THE X INC.Inventors: Ryan Andre Desgroseilliers, Andrew Mackenzie Henry, Sergiu Mihai Geamanu, Depinder Singh Bhullar, Richard Elliot Fenster, James Joseph Russell Bracken, Michael Ciccone, Ronald Andrew Sutherland

Publication number: 20230218250Abstract: Various embodiments discussed herein utilize a C-shaped imager to provide images with a minimal footprint, such as may be suitable in a surgical context. In addition the systems and methods described herein allow for suitable angular (i.e., azimuthal) scan coverage about the patient. To provide real-time 3D imaging, multiple X-ray tubes or a distributed X-ray source may be employed, coupled with an extended detector or multiple detectors. To reconstruct high-quality volumes, in some implementations reconstruction techniques may be employed that utilize pre-operative (pre-op) computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound (U/S), or other suitable modality images or data as prior information.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Gautam Parthasarathy, Bruno Kristiaan Bernard De Man, Ronald Andrew von Jako, Ross Christopher Stalter

Patent number: 11563590Abstract: A computing resource service provider provides a certificate management service that allows customers of the computing resource service provider to create, distribute, manage, and revoke digital certificates issued by public and/or private certificate authorities. In an embodiment, when a new certificate is generated, a certificate template is used to apply various settings and policies for the new certificate. In various examples, templates may be used to establish default values, enforce required and optional values, place restrictions on one or more data fields, and enforce signature requirements. In some embodiments, the template establishes rules for rejecting certificate requests that don't conform to the template.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2018Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peter Zachary Bowen, Todd Lawrence Cignetti, Preston Anthony Elder, III, Brandonn Gorman, Ronald Andrew Hoskinson, Jonathan Kozolchyk, Kenneth Lawler, Marcel Andrew Levy, Kyle Benjamin Schultheiss, Sandeep Shantharaj, Param Sharma, Jose Maria Silveira Neto
