Publication number: 20230218486Abstract: Mechanisms for dispensing items such as medications and medical supplies. Different mechanisms may be tailored to dispensing different kinds of items, for example medications in single dose packages, vials, syringes, or other similarly-shaped items. The dispensers may be placed in a dispensing unit that includes a lockable restock drawer and a dispense drawer into which items are dispensed by the dispensing mechanisms. The various kinds of dispensing mechanisms may be installed in the restock drawer in any workable proportion and arrangement. The dispensing mechanisms include multiple sensing technologies for tracking and inventory of items and for accurate sensing of items as they are dispensed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Applicant: Omnicell, Inc.Inventors: Edith Wilson, Gerardo Moreno, Guillermo Trejo, Vikram Mehta, Herbert Lawson Fisher

Patent number: 10952063Abstract: A method for dynamically learning and using foreign mobility management node information for telecommunications network security screening includes operating a telecommunications network routing node in a learn mode in which traffic from foreign mobility management nodes is received and identities of the foreign mobility management nodes are learned and used to populate a security database maintained by the telecommunications network routing node. The method further includes operating the telecommunications network routing node in a test mode to dynamically learn foreign mobility management node security status and maintaining the security status for the foreign mobility management nodes in the security database. The method further includes operating the telecommunications network routing node in an active mode to filter traffic from the foreign mobility management nodes using the dynamically learned node identities and security statuses.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventor: Vikram Mehta

Patent number: 10862866Abstract: A method for multiple transaction capabilities application part (TCAP) operation code (opcode) screening includes receiving a first SS7 signaling message including multiple TCAP opcodes. The method further includes determining that the first SS7 signaling message requires further processing. The method further includes, in response to determining that the first SS7 signaling message requires further processing, decoding, from the first SS7 signaling message, N TCAP opcodes, where N is an integer of at least two. The method further includes, for each of the N TCAP opcodes, applying a filter and determining that one of the filters indicates that the opcode, alone or in combination with other parameters in the first SS7 signaling message, is not allowed. The method further includes, in response to determining that the one filter indicates that the opcode, alone or in combination with the other parameters is not allowed, performing an SS7 firewall action.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Mark Allen Erickson, Vikram Mehta
