  • Patent number: 9988912
    Abstract: A turbomachine component (e.g., a blade, vane, or any other suitable component) is defined at least partially in a radial direction and an axial direction orthogonal to the radial direction and includes a body defining an outer surface configured to be in thermal communication with a gas path flow in the axial direction. The component includes a thermal regulation channel system defined within the body which includes at least one radial channel configured to allow thermal regulation flow in the radial direction, and at least one axial channel configured to allow thermal regulation flow in the axial direction.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7257583
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for providing software applications to a mobile device. A server receives a request for an application identified in an application catalog stored on the server. A push message is generated based on the request for the application and containing data from the application catalog stored on the catalog server. The push message is sent to a mobile device designated in the request for the application. Responsive to receiving an acceptance of the push message from the mobile device, the application is sent to the mobile device. The mobile device receives and reads the push message. Responsive to acceptance of the push message, the application is requested and received from the catalog server. The application is installed the on-device application catalog is updated to indicate the availability of the application for execution on the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20070180078
    Abstract: Automated file distribution is described. A member of a peer-to-peer network receives from a file server, a file to be distributed. The file is then distributed via the peer-to-peer network to other members of the peer-to-peer network. Members of the peer-to-peer network can choose whether or not to receive a file from another member based on a trust level or reputation associated with the member. The trust level may be based, at least in part, on a number of degrees of separation between the members. Furthermore the file is verified, for example, by validating a digital signature associated with the file.

  • Publication number: 20060236393
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and methods for protecting a limited resource computer from malware. Aspects of the present invention use antivirus software on a general purpose computer to prevent malware from infecting a limited resource computer. Typically, antivirus software on the general purpose computer is kept “up-to-date” with the most recent software updates. When a connection is established between the limited resource computer and the general purpose computer, a signature of each application installed on the limited resource computer is transmitted to the general purpose computer. Then antivirus software on the general purpose computer compares the received signatures to known malware. Finally, the results of the scan are reported to the limited resource computer.
