(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Targeted News Service Targeted News Service ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 19 -- The following federal patents were awarded to inventors in New Jersey.

*** AT&T Intellectual Property I Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 18 -- AT&T Intellectual Property I, Atlanta, has been assigned a patent (8,271,499) developed by Marios Hadjieleftheriou, Morristown, N.J., Nick Koudas, Toronto, and Divesh Srivastava, Summit, N.J., for an "incremental maintenance of inverted indexes for approximate string matching." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "In embodiments of the disclosed technology, indexes, such as inverted indexes, are updated only as necessary to guarantee answer precision within predefined thresholds which are determined with little cost in comparison to the updates of the indexes themselves. With the present technology, a batch of daily updates can be processed in a matter of minutes, rather than a few hours for rebuilding an index, and a query may be answered with assurances that the results are accurate or within a threshold of accuracy." The patent application was filed on June 10, 2009 (12/481,693).

*** New Jersey Institute of Technology Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 19 -- New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, N.J., has been assigned a patent (8,272,044) developed by Nirwan Ansari, Montville, N.J., and Amey Bhaskar Shevtekar, Harrison, N.J., for "method and system to mitigate low rate denial of service (DoS) attacks." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A technique to mitigate low rate Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks at routers in the Internet is described. In phase 1, necessary flow information from the packets traversing through the router is stored in fast memory; and in phase 2, stored flow information is periodically moved to slow memory from the fast memory for further analysis. The system detects a sudden increase in the traffic load of expired flows within a short period. In a network without low rate DoS attacks, the traffic load of all the expired flows is less than certain thresholds which are derived from real Internet traffic analysis. The system can also include a filtering solution to drop attack packets. The filtering scheme treats the long-lived flows in the Internet preferentially, and drops the attack traffic by monitoring the queue length if the queue length exceeds a threshold percent of the queue limit." The patent application was filed on May 27, 2008 (12/127,246).
