| 20110290501 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTAINING UNCONTROLLED FLOW OF RESERVOIR FLUIDS INTO THE ENVIRONMENT - Systems and methods for quick access and control of a blown-out well or well that is flowing uncontrollably into the environment. Preferred embodiments of the present invention provide a re-entry of the casing of the blown-out well below the mud line and the inoperable blowout preventer. The present invention also provides a method to re-enter a production, or injection well, either subsea below the mud line or above the mud line for surface facility applications. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a miniature wellbore is created from the outer casing through the various smaller casing strings into the final wellbore to protect the structural integrity of the well. Once the casing is safely penetrated, coil tubing and or kill weight fluid can be introduced to stop the uncontrolled flow of reservoir fluid. The well can then be sealed with cement and abandoned as normal practice dictates. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20120047571 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING PRESELECTED QUERY TYPE WITHIN A DNS QUERY - In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to perform a process includes code to determine whether an IPv4 packet is associated with a Domain Name System (DNS) query based on an IPv4 header of the IPv4 packet. If the IPv4 packet is a DNS query packet, the non-transitory processor-readable medium includes code to determine whether the IPv4 packet has a preselected query type based on a payload of the IPv4 packet. If the IPv4 packet is a DNS query packet and has the preselected query type, the non-transitory processor-readable medium includes code to send a signal to block transmission of the IPv4 packet. In some embodiments, the preselected query type has a DNS record type value of 28. | 02-23-2012 |
| 20120047572 | DECAPSULATION OF DATA PACKET TUNNELS TO PROCESS ENCAPSULATED IPV4 OR IPV6 PACKETS - In one embodiment, a non-transitory processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions to cause a processor to determine whether an IPv4 payload of an IPv4 packet includes a tunneled IPv6 packet. When the IPv4 payload includes the tunneled IPv6 packet, the code can determine a location of a payload of the tunneled IPv6 packet based at least in part on a header of the tunneled IPv6 packet, and send a signal to block transmission of the IPv4 packet when the payload of the tunneled IPv6 packet is not a valid IPv6 payload. | 02-23-2012 |
| 20120047573 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING INVALID IPV6 PACKETS - In one embodiment, a non-transitory processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions to cause a processor to determine (1) whether an IPv6 packet includes an extension header of an illegal type and (2) a quantity of extension headers present in the IPv6 packet that are of a preselected type. When the IPv6 packet includes the extension header of the illegal type, the code can send a first signal to block transmission of the IPv6 packet. When the quantity of extension headers that are of the preselected type is greater than a preselected quantity, the code can send a second signal to block transmission of the IPv6 packet. | 02-23-2012 |
