Patent number: 11936529Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for managing a network of nodes with delta processing. A network with a plurality of connected nodes can be stored, the nodes representing entities of the network. One or more deltas to the network that indicate updates to the connections among the plurality of nodes can be received. The deltas can be added to a queue. The connections between the nodes of the network can be updated using a delta from the queue. The network can be processed after updating the connections between the nodes to generate a vector for a given node. One or more paths for the given node can be identified based on the generated vector.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Paul Woodward, Simon Alexander Tucker, Stephen Michael Ginns

Patent number: 11917087Abstract: An authentication system supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) when authenticating the identity of a user. A challenge-response portion of the authentication process is delegated to an MFA device—a secondary device within control of the user, but separate from the primary login device that the user is using when initiating the authentication. Communications between the MFA device and the login device are conducted using a short-range wireless communication protocol (e.g., Bluetooth™ or NFC), so that the two devices must be in close physical proximity to each other.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Inventors: Stephen Woodward Lind, Bidan Sinha, Karthik Bhat, Naveen Kumar Keerthy, Jintai He, Kavitha Chandramohan

Publication number: 20230353566Abstract: An authentication system determines a risk level for a client device impersonating a client device enrolled in authentication services by comparing device metadata for the impersonating client device to device metadata for the enrolled client device. As part of enrolling the enrolled client device, the authentication system associates one or more authentication credentials with the enrolled client device. In order to authenticate access requests associated with a client device identified as the enrolled client device, the authentication system obtains an authentication token from the client device generated using the authentication credentials and also obtains device metadata corresponding to the client device. Based on the device metadata comparison during authentication, the authentication system detects device metadata anomalies and uses detected device metadata anomalies to determine a risk level for the client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventor: Stephen Woodward Lind

Patent number: 10941616Abstract: A step stool having a platform having a length at least 1.5 times a length of a first step. The platform rotatably attached to a first front leg and a second front leg above the first step. The first step having a perimeter having a first side which extends down from a top of the first step. The first step having a first boss that extends outward from the first side through which a first fastener extends to attach the first front leg to the first step. The first step having a rib which extends outwards from the first side adjacent the first boss and in alignment with the first front leg when the first and second front legs and first and second rear legs are in an open position where they form a generally upside down V shape. The rib providing support to the first front leg when a cantilever type force is applied to the stepladder. A method for using a step stool.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2017Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Werner Co.Inventor: Stephen Woodward

Patent number: 9104807Abstract: Systems and methods for providing symbolic information about fields, methods, and/or classes for a target device. A system and method may be used where the runtime processing is split between a host system and a target system. At the target device a test program uses a symbol not defined on the target device. A query is sent from the target device to a symbolic information source. The symbolic information source then provides the target device with information about the undefined symbol. The target device uses the information from the symbolic information source to complete the test program.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2014Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: John Fredric Arthur Dahms, Stephen Woodward, David Howes

Patent number: 5723783Abstract: An acoustic displacement flowmeter determines the flow rate of a fluid in a path containing a controllable valve by establishing fluid flow along the path, directing the flow of the fluid to a transducer having a displacement element by restricting the flow path, generating a signal from the transducer representative of displacement due to fluid flow while the flow path is restricted, using the transducer to determine the fluid flow rate, and reestablishing fluid flow along the path by removing the restriction. The transducer signal is used to determine the fluid flow rate by providing an analog reference signal, integrating the analog reference signal for a predetermined time period, deintegrating the integrated reference signal with the transducer signal until the value of the deintegration signal reaches a threshold value, and using the time required for the deintegration signal to reach the threshold value to calculate the flow rate.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 1994Date of Patent: March 3, 1998Assignee: J & W Scientific, IncorporatedInventor: William Stephen Woodward

Patent number: 5540104Abstract: An acoustic displacement flowmeter uses a high-compliance acoustic-type displacement transducer to measure fluid flow accumulated by temporarily restricting the flow of a fluid along a path. The displacement transducer signal, representative of fluid flow rate, is integrated after an initial settling period elapses, and the integrated signal is periodically sampled. The number of samples taken during a measurement cycle depends upon the slope of the integrated signal and the maximum sample period permitted. The samples are summed and the actual flow rate is computed by a microcomputer.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1995Date of Patent: July 30, 1996Assignee: J&W Scientific IncorporatedInventor: W.
