Patent number: 11977760Abstract: Securely loading digital blocks into memory for consumption by a processor. A method includes, at a memory protection shim, receiving a digital block and a manifest for the digital block. The manifest includes a transformation key for the digital block. The transformation key is configured to be used for at least one of validating the digital block or decrypting the digital block. The manifest is encrypted. The method further includes decrypting the manifest to obtain the transformation keys. The method further includes using the transformation keys to perform at least one of validating or decrypting the digital block. The method further includes retransforming the digital block using a memory protection shim ephemeral key to perform at least one of creating an authentication tag or encrypting the digital block. The method further includes storing the retransformed digital block in memory.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: IDAHO SCIENTIFIC LLCInventors: Andrew James Weiler, Nathan Charles Chrisman, Claude Harmon Garrett, V, Dale Weston Reese, Matthew Ryan Waltz, Jay Takeji Hirata

Patent number: 11966332Abstract: An apparatus comprising a CPU core configured to execute instructions and consume data. The apparatus includes a memory configured to store the instructions and the data. A memory protection shim is coupled to the CPU core and the memory. The memory protection shim is configured to perform transformations over digital blocks to perform at least one of authentication or decryption of the digital blocks received from the memory. The memory protection shim is coupled to the CPU core in a fashion that prevents egress of the digital blocks or ingress of other external digital blocks between the memory protection shim and the CPU core.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: IDAHO SCIENTIFIC LLCInventors: Dale Weston Reese, Matthew Ryan Waltz, Jay Takeji Hirata, Andrew James Weiler, Nathan Charles Chrisman, Claude Harmon Garrett, V

Patent number: 10217274Abstract: A digitally controlled lighting system where aspects have a central media server connected to remote media servers. The connection may have separate networks for control versus media. Automatic synchronization of the contents of the media servers may be carried out.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2016Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Production Resource Group, LLCInventors: Charles Reese, Mark A. Hunt

Patent number: 9977501Abstract: Video buttons controlling stage lights. Each of the buttons includes a video part, which displays either video or an image that previews the function that is carried out by the button when it is pressed. The buttons can be full-color buttons that show full color videos. An array of buttons can be grouped together, so that the array can operate in different modes, one of which in which the array shows an overall display, and another of which in which the array shows a single function per button. Different technologies including analog switches, touch screens, and the like can be used.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2016Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: Production Resource Group, LLCInventors: Michael Snyder, James Bornhorst, Charles Reese, Rusty Brutsche

Publication number: 20160092093Abstract: A remote-control device which allows remotely controlling parameters of a light via a console. The console actually does the controlling, but the remote-control device enables control of the light parameters by sending the information to the console. For example, the remote can be used to control preset values or to control other aspects of the console. The console may store presets associated with focus, and those presets can be changed from the remote.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2015Publication date: March 31, 2016Inventor: Charles Reese
