Patent number: 11500573Abstract: A multiple interface data exchange system utilizes a persistent in-memory storage in asynchronous data communication with a plurality of interfaces. Each interface is configured to communicate with at least one application using a particular communication protocol. The persistent in-memory storage stores tuple data sets received from applications transmitting data to the connected interface in a canonical (universal) format, automatically creating new tuples and updating existing tuples. The canonical format of the data is quickly queried in the persistent in-memory storage and available to other applications in connection with the multiple interface data exchange system regardless of the communication protocol used by a requesting application.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering CompanyInventors: Christopher W.

Patent number: 11405126Abstract: A testing device is provided that evaluates the operating performance of radio frequency (RF) emitting devices such as a counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) device. The testing device allows an operator, with limited RF knowledge, to conduct testing on a C-UAS device and quickly verify functionality in any location with no data analysis. The testing device provides a simplified and portable method to test the RF output of devices such as C-UAS. Since C-UAS devices use RF power to disrupt their UAS target, the performance can be assessed by verifying the RF power level emitted by the C-UAS device. In order to do this the testing device measures and assesses the RF power levels in the bands that the C-UAS device emits radio frequency energy.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: America as Represented by the Secretary of The ArmyInventors: Colin W Graham, Jefferson M Durham, Jerry Huen

Patent number: 11231404Abstract: A device and method for collecting, analyzing, and identifying chemical and biological samples in solid or liquid form is disclosed. The analysis compares the color change of Colorimetric Sensor Arrays (CSAs) over time with images for known materials/compounds contained in a library. The device can be used as a handheld or standalone device and integrates the sampling and detecting functions of the prior art into a single device that analyzes and identifies the sample without destroying it. The inventive volatile organic compound (VOC) technology device is also unique in that it relies on a comparison to a proprietary compound library that is supported by lab data. This compound library identifies the unique dye signature combinations that provide very accurate classification of a wide variety of chemical and biological agents.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2019Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Peter A Emanuel, Calvin W Chue, Gregory A Thompson, Colin W Graham, Aleksandr E Miklos, Jacob J Shaffer

Patent number: 10978071Abstract: An approach is provided in which an information handling system sends a first request to a user over a voice channel through a first communication network. The request is in an audio format and requests a user data set from the user. The information handling system establishes a messaging channel with a user device utilized by the user through a second communication network. The messaging channel is an end-to-end digital data channel between the information handing system and the user device. The information handling system receives a set of user data corresponding to the first request from the user device over the messaging channel, and sends the set of user data to a conversation system.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Scott W.

Patent number: 10887212Abstract: The present invention provides method and systems for dynamically mirroring network traffic. The mirroring of network traffic may comprise data that may be considered of particular interest. The network traffic may be mirrored by a mirror service portal from a mirror sender, referred to as a mirror source, to a mirror receiver, referred to as a mirror destination, locally or remotely over various network segments, such as private and public networks and the Internet. The network traffic may be mirrored to locations not involved in the network communications being mirrored. The present invention provides various techniques for dynamically mirroring data contained in the network traffic from a mirror source to a mirror destination.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2014Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Extreme Networks, Inc.Inventors: David E.

Patent number: 10673744Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for advanced distribution in a link aggregation group (LAG). In some examples, a packet forwarding device includes physical ports for sending and receiving network traffic. The packet forwarding device includes one or more packet processors configured to perform LAG distribution by distributing incoming packets across active links of a first LAG formed between the packet forwarding device and one or more network devices. The incoming packets are in route to a destination device in communication with one of the network devices. The packet processors are configured, in an advanced distribution mode, to transmit a first packet of the plurality of incoming packets for the first LAG over a selected active link selected from a subset of the plurality of active links for the first LAG.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2015Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: Extreme Networks, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Allen Ford, Donald Bruce Grosser, Jr., Richard W.

Patent number: 10535365Abstract: According to some embodiments, an analog processing portion may receive an audio signal from a microphone. The analog processing portion may then convert the audio signal into sub-band signals and estimate an energy statistic value, such as a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (“SNR”) value, for each sub-band signal. A classification element may classify the estimated energy statistic values with analog processing such that a wakeup signal is generated when voice activity is detected. The wakeup signal may be associated with, for example, a battery-powered, always-listening audio application.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2018Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Inventors: Brandon David Rumberg, David W.

Patent number: 10535347Abstract: An approach is provided in which an information handling system sends a request in audio format to a user over a voice channel requesting a user data set. The information handling system receives utterances from the user over the voice channel and determines that the utterances do not provide enough information to complete the requested user data set. In turn, the information handling system establishes a messaging channel with the user and sends a request in digital format to the user over the messaging channel to provide additional data to complete the user data set.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2017Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Scott W.

Patent number: 10482606Abstract: This invention relates generally to medical imaging and, in particular, to a method and system for automatic lymph node station mapping, automatic path or route report generation. A computer-based system for automatically locating the central chest lymph-node stations in a 3D MDCT image is described. Automated analysis methods extract the airway tree, airway-tree centerlines, aorta, pulmonary artery, lungs, key skeletal structures, and major-airway labels. Geometrical and anatomical cues arising from the extracted structures are used to localize the major nodal stations. The system calculates and displays the nodal stations in 3D. Visualization tools within the system enable the user to interact with the stations to locate visible lymph nodes.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2017Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: The Penn State Research FoundationInventors: William E.
