Patent number: 11082665Abstract: An apparatus and method is presented for network video management and recording of video signals and video analytics generated by a network of IP-enabled cameras. A set of IP cameras are connected in a LAN to a network video recorder further connected by LAN or WAN to a set of client stations. The client station operates a hybrid program including a web-browser and a native application operating on a computer. The network video recorder operates a media recorder to store video streams from the IP cameras into a media database and further operates a relational database for storing camera configuration data, device drivers, event information and alarms. The network video recorder includes a zero configuration networking discovery service for automatically detecting and downloading default configurations to the cameras. Client stations can stream video directly from IP cameras, receive recorded video streams and query the relational database for cameras and events.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2019Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Razberi Secure Technologies, LLCInventors: Tom Galvin, Jason O'Bryan, Rich Anderson, Philip Heath

Patent number: 10720747Abstract: A resonator is provided that includes opposing mirrors arranged substantially parallel to each other and separated to confine reflections for gain. A gain medium is between the opposing mirrors. A pump pumps the gain medium. At least one microrefractive element, or tens, hundreds, thousands, millions or more, stabilizes the resonator. The refractive element is disposed between the opposing mirrors and is configured to support a laser beam at a position of the refractive element. A method for producing laser light directs pump light onto one or a plurality of microrefractive elements. Reflections from the one or a plurality of microrefractive elements are confined in a resonator volume. Gain is provided in the resonator volume. Laser energy is emitted from the resonator volume.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the University of IllinoisInventors: Jose A. Rivera, Tom Galvin, J. Gary Eden

Patent number: 8553857Abstract: A system establishes a telephone call between a calling party and a called party. The system receives a telephone call connection request, including identification of the called party, from the calling party and determines, based on the identification information, if the called party is currently connected to a data network. If the called party is currently connected to the data network, the system establishes the telephone call between the calling party and an instant messaging client of the called party.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2007Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Verizon Business Global LLCInventors: Joel Hanson, Mark O'Brien, Tony Moey, Mike Kirchner, Tom Galvin, Donald J.

Patent number: 8458776Abstract: A source device and a target device may endeavor to form a secure communication session whereby encrypted messages may be transmitted over an untrusted network, such as the internet. However, the exchange of many messages in the establishment of the communication session may involve considerable latency and computational resources, particularly in scenarios featuring many communication sessions (e.g., peer-to-peer communication sessions.) Techniques for initiating a communication session may be devised that enables the initiation of a communication session with only two exchanged messages, or even with a single message transmitted from the source device to the target device. Some embodiments of these techniques may also permit the inclusion of advantageous security features, such as authentication via public certificate to detect man-in-the-middle attacks and the inclusion of nonces to detect replay attacks, without increasing the number of messages involved in the initiation of the communication session.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2009Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Tom Galvin, David Steere
