Patent number: 11943319Abstract: Systems and methods for isolating applications associated with multiple tenants within a computing platform receive a request from a client associated with a tenant for running an application on a computing platform. Hosts connected to the platform are associated with a network address and configured to run applications associated with multiple tenants. A host is identified based at least in part on the request. One or more broadcast domain(s) including the identified hosts are generated. The broadcast domains are isolated in the network at a data link layer. A unique tenant identification number corresponding to the tenant is assigned to the broadcast domains. In response to launching the application on the host: the unique tenant identification number is assigned to the launched application and is added to the network address of the host; and the network address of the host is sent to the client associated with the tenant.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Palantir Technologies Inc.Inventors: Greg DeArment, Divyanshu Arora, Jason Hoch, Mark Elliot, Matthew Williamson, Robert Kruszewski, Steven Austin

Patent number: 8457915Abstract: A system and method to measure, with increased precision, the transit time position(s) of pulses in a time domain data. An example data set would be the transit time of pulses in Time-Domain Terahertz (TD-THz) data. The precision of the pulse timing directly affects the precision of determined sample properties measurements (e.g., thickness). Additionally, an internal calibration etalon structure and algorithm method provides for continuous system precision/accuracy check method to increase sample measurement integrity. The etalon structure can improve the precision of sample property measurements (e.g., absolute thickness). Various hardware and system implementations of the above are described.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2008Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Picometrix, LLCInventors: Jeffrey S. White, Gregory D.

Publication number: 20070295216Abstract: The invention relates to a brewed beverage maker with a diverter valve assembly placed between a heater and a showerhead, the diverter valve assembly fluidly connected to both the heater and showerhead. Opening the beverage maker during a brew cycle automatically causes at least a portion of the fluid passing through the diverter valve assembly to be diverted to a channel that directs the fluid to a point downstream of the showerhead in the brew cycle. In one embodiment of the invention, the diverted fluid is directed to a filter basket. The channel may optionally include a basin to collect and direct the diverted fluid. The outlet of the diverter valve assembly may form the showerhead.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2006Publication date: December 27, 2007Inventors: Steven Williamson, William D.
