Patent number: 9521031Abstract: A system and method of accessing web or network sites interfacing through a walled garden web server by dynamically expanding the reach of the walled garden on a user-by-user basis, based on the content that is returned to the user. The system includes a traffic analyzer and filter, a traffic forwarder, a traffic tagger, and a traffic redirector. A plurality of databases interface with the traffic analyzer and filter for appropriately manipulating web traffic from users by matching URL requests from a user with seed URLs in one or more of the databases. A depth parameter may be associated with a URL, indicating the number of times a particular domain has been traversed by a particular user. A depth rating database may be used to specify the number of times a particular URL may be accessed.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2013Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: Boingo Wireless, Inc.Inventors: Niels Jonker, James William Lake

Publication number: 20140317309Abstract: A peer to peer dynamic network acceleration method and apparatus provide enhanced communications directly between two or more enhanced devices, such as enhanced clients. The enhanced clients may comprise a front-end, a back-end, or both. In general, the front-end and back-end of the enhanced clients work in concert to translate data into an enhanced protocol for communication between the enhanced clients. The enhanced protocol may provide acceleration, security, error correction, and other benefits. Data from various applications may be seamlessly translated between a first protocol and the enhanced protocol, such that the applications need not be modified to use the enhanced protocol. The enhanced clients may automatically detect one another to establish an enhanced communications channel automatically.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2014Publication date: October 23, 2014Applicant: Circadence CorporationInventors: Mark Vange, Mark Plumb, Michael Kouts, Glenn Sydney Wilson, Randy Thornton, Johnny Lawrence Sartain, Meena Panchanatheswaran, Nicholas Lancaster, William Lake McKeon

Patent number: 8831660Abstract: A dynamic wireless network discovery system, apparatus and method are provided for users of wireless device to find, connect to, and use wireless networks in an automated manner. New gained knowledge about a wireless network is shared with a central server, which in turn aggregates knowledge about wireless networks collected from various wireless devices, and takes all this aggregated knowledge and reduces the individual data points to aggregate data that provides valuable information about the status of the networks. The central server then in turn distributes this information to a software client operating on wireless devices. Dynamically learned wireless network information is shared from one wireless device with other wireless devices through the distributed intelligence network, either through the central server or by communicating with other wireless devices, providing group-based intelligence about wireless networks to other wireless devices.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Boingo Wireless, Inc.Inventors: Niels Jonker, James William Lake, Steve Herman Moller, Eric Todd Blue, Jonathan Daniel Mendelson, Kishore Raja

Patent number: 7794346Abstract: A torque transfer device for efficiently increasing the torque transferred from a drive unit to another device (e.g. transmission, sprocket, etc.). The torque transfer device generally includes a drive unit, a first rotating member rotatably attached to the drive unit, wherein the drive unit rotates the first rotating member, a receiving unit, a first rotating member rotatably attached to the receiving unit and a connecting arm attached to a first attachment point of the first rotating member and a second attachment point of the second rotating member. The first attachment point is offset from a first rotational axis of the first rotating member and the second attachment point is offset from a second rotational axis of the second rotating member.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2008Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Inventor: William Lake

Publication number: 20060012210Abstract: An attaching system for a lift-roof cover pivoting substantially about a fixed forward wall upper edge via application of rear hatch technology of the prior art for conventional cab high covers together with attachment means in the form of linkages. The attaching system for mounting to a load bed supports multiple functions providing convenience in distribution and installation processes; in particular facilitating use of processes employed for conventional caps with respect to shipping and storage. The system includes lift-roof to forward wall stop and side retainer means supporting improved functional integrity and security. Also included are draw latches supporting levels of operating convenience demanded for lift-roof applications. Simplified manufacturing adaptation of a conventional cap is supported by pre-assembly of key subassemblies.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2004Publication date: January 19, 2006Inventor: William Lake
