Publication number: 20240070013Abstract: Systems and methods for are provided for predicting impending failure of a database and preemptively initiating mitigating failover actions, for example by shedding connections or redirecting connection requests to an alternate database that can fulfill resources being requested. In an example embodiment, to detect a slow or unstable database, connection wait times are monitored over a rolling window of time intervals, a quantity of intervals in which at least one excessive wait time event occurred are counted during the time window, and if the quantity exceeds a threshold, the database is deemed unavailable, thereby triggering connection adjustments.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: eBay Inc.Inventors: Timothy David ROBISON, Steven Bruce WEST, Sarang Mukund KULKARNI, Douglas Wayne HATHAWAY

Publication number: 20230261774Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting anomalies in antenna systems (e.g., air traffic control surveillance systems), include a processor receiving antenna status information. A variational autoencoder receives and optimizes the antenna status information and determines whether it qualifies as an anomaly. Optimized antenna status information is compared to either non-anomalous or anomalous antenna status data in a latent space of the variational autoencoder. The latent space preferably includes an n-D point scatter plot and hidden vector values. The processor optimizes the antenna status information by generating a plurality of probabilistic models of the antenna status information and determining which of the plurality of models is optimal. A game theoretic optimization is applied to the plurality of models, and the best model is used to generate the n-D point scatter plot in latent space. An image gradient sobel edge detector preprocesses the antenna status information prior to optimization.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2022Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Mark Rahmes, Jennifer Spicer, Christopher Jason Berger, Ralph Smith, Dustin Ellsworth, Timothy Bruce Faulkner, Shoaib Shaikh

Patent number: 11636206Abstract: A code segment executing on a compute instance may be identified as suspicious based on runtime behavior or similar behavioral analysis or the like. In order to ensure the identification and use of the most up-to-date identification and remediation tools, the compute instance may defer various remediation steps for an interval, during which the compute instance may wait for data updates from a threat management system. After the interval has passed, the compute instance may use any updated data or tools in order to address the code segment that triggered the initial malware detection.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Sophos LimitedInventors: Timothy Bruce Kenyon, Patrick James Hammack

Patent number: 11086901Abstract: A system includes a persistent storage and a data transfer manager. The persistent storage stores sending entity storage resources and receiving entity storage resources. The data transfer manager obtains a data transfer request for data in the sending entity storage resources. In response to obtaining the data transfer request, the data transfer manager obtains a sending entity schema associated with the data; determines a current storage location of the data using the obtained sending entity schema; determines a future storage location for a copy of the data in the receiving entity storage resources; stores a copy of the data at the determined future storage location; adapts the sending entity schema based on the determined future storage location; and modifies a receiving entity schema based on the adapted sending entity schema.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Wenbin Lu, Timothy Bruce, Leo Lei Wang, Lee Li Ni, Will Youwei Sun
