Patent number: 10657239Abstract: Techniques are provided for limiting access to a feature in an application. Certain application features, such as access controlled features, are not generally accessible to all users of an integration cloud service system. When a user makes a request to access an access controlled feature, the system can determine whether user information satisfies the requirements to access a requested access controlled feature. If the user satisfies the requirements for the requested access controlled feature, an access key can be dynamically generated based on the user information.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Greg Gravenites, Arif Rafique, Rajan Mahendrakumar Modi, Sindhu Suresh

Patent number: 10375444Abstract: The disclosed configuration includes a partial pre-fetching of source files from an origin server for playback. After pre-fetch, the remaining portions of a source file may be optimized for retrieval. By providing partial pre-fetch of source files, in conjunction with optimization, automatic video preview may be supported and source file presentation may begin in a timely fashion in response to user requested playback without inordinate bandwidth consumption.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2016Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Performance and Privacy Ireland LimitedInventors: Nitin Bhandari, Erik R.

Patent number: 9996541Abstract: Systems and methods for performing hash-based mount point lookup in virtual file systems. An example method may include: receiving a first character string representing a file name; identifying, within an array of mount point strings, a second character string having a second string length not exceeding a first string length of the first character string; responsive to ascertaining that the first character string comprises the second character string, identifying a file system object associated with a mount point path represented by the second character string; and utilizing the file system object to access a file referenced by the file name.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2016Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventor: Richard Oliveri

Patent number: 9942084Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically managing the use of a buffer cache in volatile memory, including in at least some situations to distribute the buffer cache across the volatile memory of a pool of multiple computing devices. Furthermore, the data that is stored in such a distributed buffer cache may in some situations be stored in a redundant manner, such that the stored data may be recovered from a subset of the computing devices in the pool, such as by using erasure coding techniques. In some situations, the described techniques are used to provide a distributed database buffer cache to support operations of a database server program for a database—thus, as database data is retrieved from a non-volatile storage device, that database data may also be redundantly stored across the distributed database buffer cache for later retrieval and use.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2012Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: James C. Sorenson, III

Patent number: 8782099Abstract: The present inventions relates to an Internet service based on two fundamental beliefs, first that identity on the Internet and in real life is substantially based on a individual's or organization's relationship to other people, objects, places, spaces, and organizations and second that individuals or organizations themselves should create, manage and control that identity. Based on these beliefs the present invention offers the Internet's leading tools, services and ecosystem that enables individuals and organizations to intuitively create and manage their identity based on relationships, effortlessly customize their internet experience to fit that identity and empower themselves to use that identity for benefit in their real life.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2013Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: MyGobs OyInventors: Kenneth Ellis Nichol Lampinen, Timo Tapani Koponen, Harri Koponen

Patent number: 8296398Abstract: Peer-to-peer redundant file server system and methods include clients that determine a target storage provider to contact for a particular storage transaction based on a pathname provided by the filesystem and a predetermined scheme such as a hash function applied to a portion of the pathname. Servers use the same scheme to determine where to store relevant file information so that the clients can locate the file information. The target storage provider may store the file itself and/or may store metadata that identifies one or more other storage providers where the file is stored. A file may be replicated in multiple storage providers, and the metadata may include a list of storage providers from which the clients can select (e.g., randomly) in order to access the file.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2009Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Overland Storage, Inc.Inventors: Francesco Lacapra, Peter Wallace Steele, Bruno Sartirana, Ernest Ying Sue Hua, I Chung Joseph Lin, Samuel Sui-Lun Li, Nathanael John Diller, Thomas Reynold Ramsdell, Don Nguyen, Kyle Dinh Tran

Patent number: 7810647Abstract: To facilitate instant playback of an ordered title (e.g., a movie), a file pertaining to the title is fragmented into a header and segments. The header is seeded in all boxes in service and none, one or more segments are distributed to the network of boxes. When the title is ordered, the header is instantly played back while the segments, if not locally available, are streamed in respectively from the boxes having the segments to enable continuous playback of the ordered title. Should one of the boxes fails to deliver the segment according to a certain requirement (e.g., a lower transmission rate), the box gets immediately replaced by a substitute machine that continues to supply the segment from where it was stopped.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2007Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Vudu, Inc.Inventors: Prasanna Ganesan, Shahriyar Matloub, Tony Miranz, Alain Rossmann, Richard Sze

Publication number: 20080277320Abstract: A heatable transparency comprises a substrate and an electrically conductive coating formed over at least a portion of the substrate. A power supply is in contact with the conductive coating. The power supply is configured to provide alternating current (AC) to the conductive coating.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2007Publication date: November 13, 2008Inventor: James P. Thiel

Patent number: 6854242Abstract: Selectively reconfigurable shrink-wrap machine (30) for use with a loading device (34) for individually wrapping products (58) sequentially with shrink-wrap material (92) as delivered in sequence to the machine. It includes a sensor (62) sensing product position on the loading device. Shrink-wrap material is delivered from a roll at a wrapping station (40). A first conveyor (42) carries wrapped products between the wrapping station and a film sealing and cutting apparatus (44). First conveyor delivers products sequentially in synchronized velocity with the loading device in response to sensor signals. Film sealing and cutting apparatus has upper and lower heads (156, 164), at least one of which is driven into and out of engagement with the other between adjacent wrapped products received by the first conveyor for effecting a sealed cut between them. Heads are each maintained at a fixed angle of orientation. A second conveyor (43) receives wrapped products sequentially from the sealing and cutting apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2001Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Assignee: Stork Fabricators, Inc.Inventors: Brian R. Stork, Roger L. Gassel, Tom Wilson

Patent number: 6513121Abstract: Periodically sending by a telecommunication controlled application an encrypted message to a licensed server to request permission to run and to obtain a list of permitted features. The license server application is executing on the same processor as the controlled application. Also resident on the same system is a license file which contains a list of applications that are permitted to run, the version number of the permitted applications and a list of permitted features. The license server is responsive to the encrypted message from the controlled application to read and decrypt the license file, read the serial number of the processor controlling the telecommunications system, compare the serial number obtained from the processor with the serial number stored in the license file. If there is a mis-match, no license is granted to the control applications and it will not be allowed to run.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 1999Date of Patent: January 28, 2003Assignee: Avaya Technology Corp.Inventor: Robert J. Serkowski
