Patent number: 11971946Abstract: Real time, on demand rendered image delivery may be provided using one or more local image servers, image stores corresponding to the local image servers, one or more rendering servers, and a global image store. When a request for an image of three dimensional object is provided to a local image server, that server may respond to the request by determining if is present in its corresponding local image store. If it is not, then the local image server may obtain the image, store it in its corresponding local image store, and then return it. The one or more rendering servers may respond to messages indicating that one or the local image servers are obtaining an image by generating that image based on rendering it using special purpose rendering hardware, storing it in the global image store, and sending a completion message indicating that the requested image had been generated.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: VORA VENTURES, LLCInventors: Chris Beard, Brian Powell

Patent number: 10469469Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a device-based PIN authentication process used to protect encrypted data stored on a computing system, such as a tablet or mobile device. A client component and a server component each store distinct cryptographic keys needed to access encrypted data on the client. The mobile device stores a vault encryption key used to decrypt encrypted sensitive data stored on the mobile device. The vault key is encrypted using a first encryption key and stored on the mobile device. The first encryption key is itself encrypted using a second encryption key. The second encryption key is derived from the PIN value.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Symantec CorporationInventors: Shaun Cooley, Brian Powell, Srinivas Chillappa, Michael W.

Patent number: 9708789Abstract: A soil gas extracting apparatus is used to vent hazardous soil gases out of the ground and into the atmosphere. The soil gas extracting apparatus makes use of a compressed air nozzle, a compressed air source, a vacuum-inducing tubular chamber, and a gas-receiving line to safely remove soil gases from the ground. The compressed air source forces air through the compressed air nozzle in order to generate a vacuum within the vacuum-inducing tubular chamber as the air flows into the gas-receiving line. The vacuum draws soil gases into the vacuum-inducing tubular chamber in order for the soil gases to be mixed with the air within the gas-receiving line and vented into the atmosphere.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2016Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Inventor: Robert Brian Powell

Patent number: 9529733Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for securely accessing encrypted data stores may include (1) receiving, from a data storage service, a request to permit authenticated access to an encrypted data store administered by the data storage service, the request including a cryptographic element associated with the encrypted data store that has been encrypted using a public key associated with the authentication device, (2) decrypting the cryptographic element associated with the encrypted data store using a private key associated with the authentication device, (3) encrypting the cryptographic element associated with the encrypted data store using a public key associated with a cryptographic client, and (4) transmitting the encrypted cryptographic element to the cryptographic client to enable the cryptographic client to perform cryptographic operations on the encrypted data store. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2014Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Symantec CorporationInventors: Ilya Sokolov, Brian Powell
