*** Novell Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 27 -- Novell, Provo, Utah, has been assigned a patent (8,387,131) developed by four co-inventors for "enforcing secure internet connections for a mobile endpoint computing device." The co-inventors are Brent R. Beachem, Riverton, Utah, Steven S. McLain, Provo, Utah, Richard B. Rollins, Riverton, Utah, and Neil R. Shaw, Salt Lake City.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Methods and apparatus enforce a secure internet connection from a mobiles endpoint computing device. A security policy for the endpoint is defined based on its location. From that location, an internet connection is established and detected. This event triggers the launching of a full VPN tunnel connection including an NDIS firewall forcing packet traffic through a port of the endpoint computing device assigned by the security policy and/or MAC/IP addresses of a VPN concentrator. Thereafter, the packet traffic is monitored for compliance with the security policy. This includes determining whether packet traffic over the assigned port is observed within a given time or packet traffic is attempted over other ports. Monitoring occurs whether or not the protocol of the VPN tunnel connection is known. Other features contemplate quarantining for improper operation of the VPN tunnel, undertaking remediation, and computer program products, to name a few." The patent application was filed on May 18, 2009 (12/467,553). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,387,131&OS=8,387,131&RS=8,387,131 Written by Satyaban Rath; edited by Hemanta Panigrahi.

*** Intel Assigned Patent for Determining the Context of a Computing Device that is Powered Off ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 27 -- Intel, Santa Clara, Calif., has been assigned a patent (8,387,078) developed by James Lester Memmott, Draper, Utah, for "determining the context of a computing device that is powered off." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "In some embodiments a remote request is received relating to a context of a computer after the computer has been powered off.

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A syslog message routing system can include multiple syslog sources, a syslog message routing module, and multiple syslog parsers. The syslog message routing module can receive a syslog message from one of the syslog sources, identify a particular syslog parser to handle the syslog message, and send the syslog message to the selected syslog parser. The syslog message routing module can identify the syslog parser by applying at least one of an application ID-based policy, a unique pattern matching rule policy, and a universal syslog parser policy." The patent application was filed on June 30, 2009 (12/495,698). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,386,409&OS=8,386,409&RS=8,386,409 Written by Neha Bharti; edited by Jaya Anand.
