Latest Patents

Navab’s listed patent, “Method and Apparatus for Managing Connections for Communication Among Objects in a Distributed Object System,” addresses how connections between clients and servers are created and terminated. One aspect sends a connection-end message from a server to a client before the connection closes, allowing the client to stop sending requests without triggering an error state. The message may include a connection-end code.

The patent also describes efficiently reusing connections by closing an established connection when it has no pending requests or replies. When multiple connections meet those conditions, the system terminates the one that has been unused the longest. These techniques support controlled and robust connection management.

Career Highlights

Navab’s listed invention focuses on reliable communication among objects in distributed systems. Its approach combines advance notice of connection termination with criteria for selecting idle connections to close.
