20090232025 | NETWORK DISCOVERY TOOL - A method for discovering network devices having special IP addresses may include collecting a plurality of IP addresses, where each IP address corresponds to a network device. One or more IP addresses may be identified as a predetermined IP address and/or a predetermined address type. Each of the IP addresses may then be classified according to various IP address types. A network address topology may be built based on the IP addresses, the network devices, and the IP address types. Finally, a special network topology may be built that includes network devices having IP addresses identified as the predetermined IP address and/or the predetermined IP address type. | 09-17-2009 |

20090259740 | MANAGING OVERLAPPING ADDRESS SPACES - A network management method and system. The method includes identifying by a computing system, overlapping address spaces between networks. The computing system generates virtual servers associated with the overlapping address spaces. The computing system determines and configures a routing technique for routing the virtual servers to the overlapping address spaces. The computing system installs a copy of management software on each of the virtual servers. The computing system performs a network management installation process. The network management process prepares the virtual servers for managing the overlapping address spaces. The computing system generates and stores a log report associated with the network management installation process. | 10-15-2009 |

20150379586 | UTILIZING SOCIAL MEDIA DATA FOR DIGITAL COMMUNICATION - A method and system for increasing an appeal of product offers with user-generated content items is provided. The method and system includes defining attributes of the product offers, collecting the user-generated content items having attributes matching the defined product offer attributes at a content resources storage device, ranking the matching user-generated content items for relevance to the product offers, combining a first set of highly ranked user-generated content items with a first product offer and replacing the first set of highly ranked user-generated content items with a second set of highly ranked user-generated content items when the second set of highly ranked user-generated content items is determined to have a relevance ranking to the first product offer which is higher than a relevance ranking of the first set of highly ranked user-generated content items. | 12-31-2015 |

20140143854 | LOAD BALANCING AMONG A CLUSTER OF FIREWALL SECURITY DEVICES - A method for balancing load among firewall security devices in a network is disclosed. Firewall security devices are arranged in multiple clusters. A switching device is configured with the firewall security devices by communicating control messages and heartbeat signals. Information regarding the configured firewall security devices is then included in a load balancing table. A load balancing function is configured for enabling the distribution of data traffic received by the switching device. A received data packet by the switching device is forwarded to one of the firewall security devices in a cluster based on the load balancing function, the load balancing table and the address contained in the data packet. | 05-22-2014 |
20150326533 | LOAD BALANCING AMONG A CLUSTER OF FIREWALL SECURITY DEVICES - A method for balancing load among firewall security devices in a network is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a switch causes firewall security devices (FSDs) of a cluster to enter into a load balancing mode. Responsive to receiving a heartbeat signal from an FSD, information regarding the FSD and the port on which the heartbeat signal was received are added to a table maintained by the switch that maps outputs of a load balancing function to ports of the switch. A received packet is forwarded to an FSD of the cluster by: (i) extracting a configurable number of bit values from a configurable set of bit positions within the packet; (ii) determining the output of the load balancing function; (iii) identifying the port to which the FSD is coupled based on the output and the table; and (iv) transmitting the packet to the FSD via the identified port. | 11-12-2015 |

20110011141 | METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF OIL AND/OR GAS FIELD WASTE AND BY PRODUCT MATERIALS - A method for the treatment of oil and/or gas field waste and by product materials, the method comprising composting the waste materials. The present invention is typically suited to the treatment of waste and by-product materials from oil and gas wells that are contaminated by organic compounds, such as hydrocarbon residues, either from oil based drilling muds, or from hydrocarbons produced from the well. The composting is typically accomplished by an endogenous microbial population on the composted mixture, and optionally a feeder material to provide N and C sources for the microbes. The composting operation is typically carried out in a composting chamber, and typically an auger or some other tilling device is used to mix the material within the composting chamber. | 01-20-2011 |

20110226467 | WELL ASSEMBLY WITH A COMPOSITE FIBER SLEEVE FOR AN OPENING - Assemblies that can be disposed in a subterranean bore are described. An assembly can include a body with an opening in a wall of the body. A sleeve can be disposed exterior to the body at the opening. The sleeve can be made from material such as carbon fiber that can withstand at least some pressures and forces present in the subterranean environment and reduce a diameter of the body and sleeve. The assembly may also include an inner sleeve and/or an inner string that can isolate the sleeve from certain pressures and forces. | 09-22-2011 |
20140151037 | EXTENDABLE ORIENTING TOOL FOR USE IN WELLS - An orienting tool for use in wells can include a flow control device which controls flow between an interior and an exterior of a body of the tool to thereby transmit a signal indicative of an orientation of the body, the flow control device being outwardly extendable relative to the body. A method of orienting a structure in a well can include transmitting at least one signal from an orienting tool, the signal being indicative of an orientation of the orienting tool, and displacing a housing of the tool outward relative to a generally tubular body of the tool. A well system can include an orienting tool connected to a structure and positioned in a wellbore, the tool including a housing which is outwardly extendable relative to a generally tubular body, the tool being configured to transmit at least one signal indicative of an orientation of the structure. | 06-05-2014 |

20090199419 | Casing or Work String Orientation Indicating Apparatus and Methods - Casing or work string orientation indicating apparatus and methods. A system for indicating orientation of a structure in a wellbore includes an orientation indicating device responsive to fluid flow through the device, whereby fluid flow through the device at a selected flow rate produces a reduced pressure differential across the device when the device is at a preselected azimuthal orientation, compared to an increased pressure differential across the device produced by fluid flow through the device at the selected flow rate when the device is not at the azimuthal orientation. A method of detecting orientation of a structure in a wellbore includes the steps of: flowing fluid at a selected flow rate through an orientation indicating device interconnected to the structure; and observing a substantially constant pressure differential across the device during the flowing step, thereby indicating that the structure is at a predetermined azimuthal orientation. | 08-13-2009 |
