20110086566Woven Preform, Composite, and Method of Making Thereof - A three dimensional woven preform, a fiber reinforced composite incorporating the preform, and methods of making thereof are disclosed. The woven preform includes one or more layers of a warp steered fabric. A portion of the warp steered fabric is compressed into a mold to form an upstanding leg. The preform includes the upstanding leg and a joggle in a body portion. The body portion and upstanding leg are integrally woven so there is continuous fiber across the preform. A portion of the warp steered fabric includes stretch broken carbon fibers in the warp direction, and another portion includes conventional carbon fibers. The warp steered fabric can be woven on a loom equipped with a differential take-up mechanism. The warp steered fabric can be a single or multilayer fabric. The preform or the composite can be a portion of an aircraft window frame.04-14-2011

20120047189System and method for efficient data storage - A system and method for efficient data storage, which reduces data entropy of data on a data storage device. The technique organizes related data entities (such as files on a hard drive) in close physical proximity and in a predictive or ordered sequence, to reduce the amount of time and effort (mechanical, computational, or otherwise) a storage/retrieval device needs to expend locating each data entity as it processes a sequence of requests. For example, the data may be organized and stored according to a file directory index structure, whereby data and free space fragmentation is also reduced.02-23-2012

20090144584System and method for performance monitoring and repair of computers - A system and method for monitoring computer performance and repairing and/or optimizing system configurations. During these idle times, the present process executes a sequence of background system analyses that can trigger associated optimization, maintenance, or repair actions based on a comparison of current computer states and baseline optimal health data. If other tasks are initiated by a user of the system, while the present invention is performing any of its actions, the monitoring and repair program terminates itself and releases full control back to the user and operating system.06-04-2009

20120193015Specular coatings for composite structures - Disclosed herein is a method for bonding dissimilar materials using an elastic adhesive to permit the bond to withstand variations in temperature and pressure. The use of elastic adhesive accommodates previous problems associated with large differences in thermal expansion coefficient between dissimilar materials, and provides a thermally and chemically stable materials combination that withstands large thermal shock loads, such as may be experienced in a space environment. Also disclosed herein is a method for attaching a coating to a structure. In particular applications, the coating may be (1) specular (greater than 98% specularity); or (2) RF reflective for use in applications including but not limited to high frequency satellite communications.08-02-2012

20090034557METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMIC SECURED GROUP COMMUNICATION - A system and method directed to carrying out dynamic secured group communication is provided. The method includes obtaining a first packet that includes a first header. The first header includes a first source address of a first source node of a first network, and a first destination address of a first destination node of the first network. The method also includes forming a frame that includes the first header in encrypted form, combining the first header and the frame to form a second packet, and forming a second header. This second header includes a second source address of a second source node of a second network, and a second destination address of a second destination node of the second network. The method further includes encapsulating the second packet with the second header to form a third packet, and communicating the third packet into the second network from the second source node for termination to the second-destination node.02-05-2009

20110164752Detection of Stale Encryption Policy By Group Members - Various techniques that allow group members to detect the use of stale encryption policy by other group members are disclosed. One method involves receiving a message from a first group member via a network. The message is received by a second group member. The method then detects that the first group member is not using a most recent policy update supplied by a key server, in response to information in the message. In response, a notification message can be sent from the second group member. The notification message indicates that at least one group member is not using the most recently policy update. The notification message can be sent to the key server or towards the first group member.07-07-2011
20110296185Protection of Control Plane Traffic Against Replayed and Delayed Packet Attack - Techniques are provided for determining freshness of control messages in a network. At a first device that is to enter into a secure communication session with a second device, timestamp information and time window size information are sent to the second device in a control message during a first exchange between a first device and a second device. At the first device, timestamp information and time window size information are obtained from a control message received from the second device by the first device during the first exchange. At the first device, the freshness of a control message is tested based on the timestamp information of the control message during a second exchange and the time window size information received from the second device during the first exchange.12-01-2011

20080260151USE OF METADATA FOR TIME BASED ANTI-REPLAY - A system and method for facilitating anti-replay protection with multi-sender traffic is disclosed. The system employs time-based anti-replay protection wherein a sender transmits a data packet with a pseudo-timestamp encapsulated in a metadata payload. At the receiving end, the receiver compares the pseudo-timestamp information received with its own pseudo-time, determines if a packet is valid, and rejects a replay packet. The pseudo-time information is transmitted through the metadata payload and new fields need not be added to the IPSec (IP Security) Protocol, thus the existing hardware can be employed without any changes or modifications.10-23-2008
