Publication number: 20210119975Abstract: A secure network communication system and method for secure data exchange using TCP are disclosed. The system provides data exchange between a client and server, through an agent and broker interconnected to exchange data over an unsecured network. Upon receipt of a control packet from the client, the broker forwards a modified control packet to the agent using a secure protocol. The agent inspects the modified control packet and forwards it to the server. Upon receipt of a response packet from the server, the agent forwards the response packet to the broker using a secure protocol. Upon receipt of the response packet, the agent modifies the response packet and forwards it to the client. If the exchange of control packets indicates establishment of a TCP session, the agent and the broker establish a data channel between themselves to create a transparent TCP channel between the client and the server.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2020Publication date: April 22, 2021Applicant: Asavie Technologies LimitedInventor: Thomas Maher

Publication number: 20170326596Abstract: The present disclosure is in the technical field of dent detection in canisters. Accurate and consistent detection of dents in canisters has been a problem in the industry for some time. The present disclosure describes an apparatus and method that addresses this technical problem in a repeatable and easily implemented manner. There is provided a dent detection apparatus including a conduit dimensioned to be the maximum allowable diameter of a canister, a transportation portion for transporting a canister through the conduit and a rotation portion for rotating the canister as it passes through the conduit. A sensor detects when a canister stops rotating and gets stuck in the conduit and alerts the user. Thus faulty canisters can be detected and removed from production.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2015Publication date: November 16, 2017Applicant: Norton (Waterford) LimitedInventors: Sean Leane, Thomas Maher

Patent number: 7908651Abstract: A method of network communication and a network gateway are disclosed. The method and gateway operate between a secure network and remote clients by way of an intermediate transport network, such as the Internet. The remote clients connect through a NAT router so share a common source address on the intermediate transport network. In the secure network, the method analyses packets received from a remote client to identify packets that start a new secure communication session. Then, the method assigns a session-unique address and port to the new secure communication session. Subsequent packets are translated in the secure communication session by exchanging the source address with the local session address. Thus, the secure network perceived each session as originating from a distinct address and port, whereby several such sessions can coexist simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2006Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Asavie R&D LimitedInventor: Thomas Maher

Publication number: 20090106830Abstract: A secure network communication system and method for secure data exchange using transmission control protocol are disclosed. The system provides for data exchange using between a client and a server, by way of an agent and a broker interconnected to exchange data over an unsecured network link. Upon receipt of a control packet from the client, the broker forwards a modified control packet to the agent using a secure protocol. The agent then inspects the modified control packet and forwards it to the server. Upon receipt of a response packet from the server, the agent forwards the response packet to the broker using a secure protocol and upon receipt of the response packet, the agent modifies the response packet and forwards it to the client. In the case that the exchange of control packets indicates establishment of a TCP session, the agent and the broker establish a data channel between themselves to create a transparent TCP channel between the client and the server.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2006Publication date: April 23, 2009Inventor: Thomas Maher

Publication number: 20070094411Abstract: A network communications system and method are disclosed. The system and method allow clients that are connected to separate networks interconnected using network address translation (NAT) to resolve names without the need to implement a split DNS system. The method provides for performing name resolution in a computer network, the network comprising one or more clients that communicate with hosts external to the network using network address translation. The method comprises: identifying traffic in the network that contain DNS messages, identifying DNS messages to be modified based on a network address translation table, and modifying a source or a destination address in identified DNS messages based on the network address translation table.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2006Publication date: April 26, 2007Inventors: Mark Mullane, Thomas Maher

Publication number: 20070004207Abstract: The formation of a semiconductor sensing device is disclosed, where the device can be used to sense pressure, for example. The device is formed by etching the entire backside of a semiconductor substrate or wafer. This streamlines the fabrication process by omitting a number of steps that would otherwise be required to selectively etch certain locations of the substrate. This also improves device performance and compactness by allowing associated support circuitry to be formed closer to a sensing region, and more particularly piezoelectric elements of the sensing region.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2005Publication date: January 4, 2007Inventors: Timothy Legat, Alexander Teutsch, Ross Teggatz, Thomas Maher

Publication number: 20060016266Abstract: A multi-channel pressure sensor module (10) for integration in a hydraulic/electrical control unit of a vehicular braking system is shown. A body or manifold (16) mounts a plurality of strain gauge sense element assemblies (12) each having a port for connection to a fluid pressure source to be monitored. An electronic module assembly (14) has a contact printed circuit board (24) and a sense element printed circuit board (22) sandwiching a spacer/support member (20) and electrically coupled together by a flexible circuit board (26). The spacer/support member (20) is formed with pockets (20e, 20f) for receipt of discrete electronic components and to provide access to wire bond pads (22c) and sense element openings (22b). First and second sets of guide posts (20c, 20d) extend from the spacer/support member for alignment of the circuit boards as well as the electronic module assembly on the base.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2004Publication date: January 26, 2006Inventors: Peter Weise, Thomas Maher

Publication number: 20050137821Abstract: Signal conditioning of multiple sense elements is shown for providing information to a system requiring high accuracy and robust fault coverage. A first signal conditioning ASIC (10) pre-conditions the sense element data and a second system control ASIC (14) mathematically solves predetermined compensation relations based on the output of ASIC (10) and stored compensation data to fully condition the sensor output signal(s). The sense elements (1-6) are each formed by two half bridges whose inputs are pre-conditioned by separate, identical signal conditioning paths to provide highly accurate sense and diagnostic information.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2003Publication date: June 23, 2005Inventors: Thomas Maher, David Corkum
