Patent number: 11937089Abstract: A method for remotely bonding a companion device to an implanted medical device to achieve long-term encrypted and authenticated communication channel, that is resilient to companion device failure or compromise and hence mitigates the risk or need for unplanned, revision surgery and/or premature device explanation. Through use of a shared cryptographic key between the two systems, the companion device may request an encrypted challenge number from the implant. Completing the challenge via transmitting an encrypted validation number permits the implanted medical device to bond and perform a new long-term key exchange. The shared cryptographic key can be changed as well, in event of compromise or other adverse event, using a described device firmware update procedure.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: CraniUS LLCInventors: Conner Delahanty, Aayush Gandhi, Rahul Gangwani, Maximilian Zinkus, Simone Bliss, Tiger Gao, Owen Friesen, John Cai, Vivian Looi, Isaac Lefkovitz

Publication number: 20150058467Abstract: A system and method for the fast, on-demand provisioning of platform-as-a-service is described. A customer submits a request for a platform, such as an e-commerce platform, by providing specifications for the infrastructure and identifying the type of platform required. The system automatically creates and tunes an infrastructure template. Applications and configuration details as well as other artifacts are installed on the template to create a platform model. The platform model is replicated to location and capacity specifications. Data Center and network details are registered so the platform may be identified on the network. The requestor may use the capacity for any period of time and then return it to the provider.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2014Publication date: February 26, 2015Inventors: Ryan Patrick DOUGLAS, Michael Edwin OLSEN BORCHERT, Dana Elli JOHNSON, Kyle John FRIESEN
