Patent number: 9648004Abstract: A method and system for authenticating answers to Domain Name System (DNS) queries originating from recursive DNS servers are provided. A verification component provides a verification that a DNS query originated from the recursive DNS server. An authoritative DNS server receives the query via a network, such as the Internet, and provides an answer to the query to an authentication component. The authentication component then provides an authentication, such as a digital signature, which confirms that the received answer was provided by the authoritative DNS server, and then communicates the answer and the authentication to the verification component via the network. The verification component then verifies that the authentication corresponds to the received answer and sends the answer to the recursive DNS server. When the verification component receives an answer in the absence of a corresponding authentication, the verification component drops the answer.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2015Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: NEUSTAR, INC.Inventors: Rodney Lance Joffe, Victor Joseph Oppleman, David Link King, Brett Dean Watson, Andrew Jackson, Sean Leach

Distributed computing system and method for distributing user requests to replicated network servers
Patent number: 8683075Abstract: Routing requests for data objects from clients includes receiving a request for a data object from a client, providing content servers capable of serving data objects, determining a server from the content servers, and informing the client of an address associated with the determined server accessible by the selected route. Determining a server includes, for each content server, identifying routes between the content server and the client, determining traversal times for the routes, and selecting a route from among the routes based on the traversal times.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2000Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignees: Verizon Corporate Services Group Inc., Raytheon BBN Technologies Corp.Inventors: Rodney Lance Joffe, Barry A.

Patent number: 8294772Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for monitoring connection performance within a network. In one embodiment, the invention is implemented by analyzing an array of status bits outputted by an analog to digital video decoder. By storing and statistically analyzing an array of status information units, the person monitoring the network can quickly and efficiently be notified of a connection problem, such as a degrading connection resulting in an intermittent signal. In another embodiment, the system and method are implemented by analyzing an array of time stamps outputted when processing frames of video from an analog video camera.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2009Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Pelco, Inc.Inventors: Victor Joseph Duvanenko, Jeffrey Lee Standish

Patent number: 7721472Abstract: Contaminated fine sediment is removed from surfaces beneath a body of water by a shrouded, self-cleaning, wheel-guided, open suction attachment for a swinging ladder suction dredge with articulating capabilities. The attachment comprises a wheel-guided, suction assembly in which the slurry is contained in a shroud. The shroud is attached to a head plate, and is designed to both enclose the solid particles suspended as a result of the removal operation, and to direct the suspended material to the mouth of the suction pipe. Inside the area surrounded by the shroud is a gatling plate rotated by a hydraulic motor mounted just above the shroud and head plate.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2007Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: J.F.

Patent number: 7695215Abstract: Sub-aquatic sediment is covered with capping material by a capping system comprising a template barge and a spreader barge. While the spreader barge is distributing capping material, the template barge guides the spreader barge as it systematically moves over a pre-defined sediment capping region. The spreader barge comprises a spreader pool in which a broadcast spreader accurately and evenly distributes capping material within the pool, which then sinks to the sediment. The capping material is distributed with minimal disturbance to the sediment.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2008Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: J.F.

Publication number: 20100038177Abstract: Replaceable grease injection tubes permit removal and replacement of such tubes without requiring wireline and associated tools to be removed from a well, or wireline tools to be removed from wireline and thereafter spliced or re-threaded on such wireline. Replaceable grease injection tubes include opposing semi-cylindrical members that can be joined together to form a central bore for receiving wireline and facilitating a pressure seal using injected grease or other fluid having desired pressure sealing characteristics.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2008Publication date: February 18, 2010Inventor: Victor Joseph Segura
