The co-inventors are Nora T. Tgavalekos, Tewksbury, Mass., Brian J. Scannell, Cambridge, Mass., Elizabeth M. Begin, Billerica, Mass., George C. Adams, Holliston, Mass., Samuel H. Rosenthal, Lowell, Mass., Seanna J. Gittler, Denver, Eric Scheid, Wilmington, Mass., Arthur B. Johnson, Andover, Mass., and Kenric P. Nelson, Hollis, N.H. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "The technology described herein includes a system and/or a method for determining confidence of object identification. The technology includes selecting at least one confidence rule from a plurality of confidence rules based on a first discrimination identification and a second discrimination identification. The technology further includes generating an object confidence weight based on one or more first identification parameters, one or more second identification parameters, and the selected at least one confidence rule. The technology further includes fusing the received set of data based on an alpha parameter, a beta parameter, and the object confidence weight. The technology further includes generating a probability of identification of a classification of the object based on the fused data." The patent application was filed on Nov. 30, 2010 (12/956,515).

Yim, Merrimack, N.H., and Charles Binford, Wichita, Kan., for an "asynchronous replication with write concurrency grouping." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method for controlling write order in a remote data storage system used for asynchronous replication. The data backup method includes receiving writes issued concurrently by a host prior to any being completed. An async write manager, such as a software application on a storage controller or on a host, operates to group each of the writes into a concurrency group with a replica write corresponding to each of the host writes being queued for transmittal over a link to a remote data storage system. The replica writes each include a concurrency group identifier, such as a group number or last completed write number, that identifies which concurrency group the replica has been assigned. The method includes transferring the replica writes to the remote data storage system and processing the concurrency group identifiers with a write order manager to determine which subsets of the replica writes to issue concurrently." The patent application was filed on July 14, 2006 (11/457,633). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8,468,313.PN.&OS=PN/8,468,313&RS=PN/8,468,313 Written by Kusum Sangma; edited by Anand Kumar. *** Red Hat Assigned Patent for Delaying Initiation of Maintenance Process for Running VM by Delay Value Based on Random Number Function Seeded with Unique ID ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 19 -- Red Hat, Raleigh, N.C., has been assigned a patent (8,468,525) developed by Henri Han Van Riel, Nashua, N.H., and Daniel Berrange, Cambridge, Mass., for a "delaying initiation of maintenance process for running VM by delay value based on random number function seeded with unique ID." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method of managing resources in a virtual environment based on identifiers is disclosed. The method includes detecting an instantiation of a virtual machine and determining a delay value based on a unique identifier. The method also includes delaying an initiation of at least one support process for the virtual machine by the delay value." The patent application was filed on Jan. 23, 2012 (13/356,250). 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=8,468,525&OS=8,468,525&RS=8,468,525 Written by Satyaban Rath; edited by Hemanta Panigrahi. *** Hewlett-Packard Development Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 19 -- Hewlett-Packard Development, Houston, has been assigned a patent (8,468,308) developed by Simon C. Steely Jr., Hudson, N.H., Stephen R. Van Doren, Northborough, Mass., and Gregory Edward Tierney, Chelmsford, Mass., for a "system and method for non-migratory requests in a cache coherency protocol." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A system comprises a first node including data having an associated state. The associated state of the data at the first node is a modified state. The system also comprises a second node operative to provide a non-migratory source broadcast request for the data. The first node is operative in response to the non-migratory source broadcast request to provide the data to the second node and to transition the associated state of the data at the first node from the modified state to an owner state without updating memory. The second node is operative to receive the data from the first node and assign a shared state to an associated state of the data at the second node." The patent application was filed on Jan. 20, 2004 (10/760,659). 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=8,468,308&OS=8,468,308&RS=8,468,308 Written by Arpi Sharma; edited by Anand Kumar. *** Raytheon Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 19 -- Raytheon, Waltham, Mass., has been assigned a patent (RE44,303) developed by five co-inventors for a "passivation layer for a circuit device and method of manufacture." The co-inventors are John Bedinger, Garland, Texas, Michael A. Moore, Fort Worth, Texas, Robert B. Hallock, Newton, N.H., Kamal Tabatabaie, Sharon, Mass., and Thomas E. Kazior, Sudbury, Mass. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "According to one embodiment of the disclosure, a method for passivating a circuit device generally includes providing a substrate having a substrate surface, forming an electrical component on the substrate surface, and coating the substrate surface and the electrical component with a first protective dielectric layer. The first protective dielectric layer is made of a generally moisture insoluble material having a moisture permeability less than 0.01 gram/meter.sup.2/day, a moisture absorption less than 0.04 percent, a dielectric constant less than 10, a dielectric loss less than 0.005, a breakdown voltage strength greater than 8 million volts/centimeter, a sheet resistivity greater than 10.sup.15 ohm-centimeter, and a defect density less than 0.5/centimeter.sup.2." The patent application was filed on Aug. 2, 2012 (13/565,302). 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=RE44,303&OS=RE44,303&RS=RE44,303 Written by Satyaban Rath; edited by Hemanta Panigrahi.
