Publication number: 20240119810Abstract: Visual features of a vehicle, a vehicle's orientation with respect to a transaction terminal, and an individual associated with the vehicle are derived from video captured of the terminal and a surrounding area of the terminal. Additional information associated with brute force attacks in a location associated with the terminal are obtained as additional features. The visual features and the additional features are provided as input to a trained Machine-Learning Model (MLM) and the MLM provides as output a confidence value representing a prediction as to whether the current vehicle and the current individual are potentially about to engage in a brute force attack on the terminal. When the confidence value exceeds a threshold value, enhanced feature detection is enabled on the video, external systems are notified, and an incident packet of information is assembled.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Jodessiah Sumpter, Christopher John Costello, Matthew Robert Burris, Gregory Joseph Hartl, Caleb Wayne Martinez

Publication number: 20240119809Abstract: Payment card slot tampering at a transaction terminal is detected in real time. One or more images from one or more cameras are analyzed. The camera(s) is/are focused overhead of the terminal on an area adjacent to and in front of a card slot for a card reader of the terminal. The images are analyzed for determining whether hands of arms for an operator of the terminal are performing actions that indicate the operator may be attempting to install a card skimmer/shimmer into the card slot and/or attempting to remove an existing skimmer/shimmer from the card slot. When card slot tampering event is detected at the terminal a variety of automated actions are processed, such as shutting down the card reader, shutting down the terminal, confiscating any payment card inserted into the card slot, notifying a financial institution, and/or notifying legal authorities.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Matthew Robert Burris, Christopher John Costello, Gregory Joseph Hartl, Caleb Wayne Martinez, Jodessiah Sumpter

Patent number: 11912234Abstract: Upon authorizing a user via challenge biometric data, user data is determined to be updated based on detecting a trigger. Upon detecting the trigger prior to authenticating the user, the user data is updated with the challenge biometric data based on authenticating the user. Upon detecting the trigger after authenticating the user, the user data is updated with updated challenge biometric data based on a confidence score for the second biometric data exceeding a threshold. Structure components are controlled based on the updated user data.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Ali Hassani, Mackenzie Martinez, John Robert Van Wiemeersch, Jake Schwartz, Medha Karkare

Patent number: 11260282Abstract: A magnetic sudoku board has a housing, a closeable lid and an inner playing surface. The inner playing surface having gridlines to form the magnetic sudoku board. An assortment of magnetic playing pieces includes a large set and small set. To distinguish between the numbers, 1-9, the assortment of magnetic playing pieces has a certain color that corresponds to a specific number. Accordingly, the same number in both the large set and the small set have coordinating colors. These colors visually assist the player so that the same numbers are not repeated in each column, row, and 3×3 grid box.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2020Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Inventor: John A.

Patent number: 11046463Abstract: A compact SFS may can be deployed in small space vehicles. The SFS may have a small size, weight, and low power requirements. The hardware, software, catalogs, and calibration algorithm of the SFS provide highly accurate attitude information that can be used for pointing. For instance, accurate attitude determination may be provided that supports pointing of a deployable high gain helical antenna. A full “lost in space” attitude solution, accurate to about an arcminute, may be accomplished in under a minute. The SFS may be fully reprogrammable on orbit, allowing continued algorithm development and deployment after launch.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2018Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Triad National Security, LLCInventors: Nicholas Dallmann, James Wren, Michael Proicou, Hannah Mohr, Jerry Delapp, Kimberly Katko, John Martinez, Donathan Ortega, Daniel Seitz, Paul Stein, Justin Tripp, Adam Warniment, Robert Wheat, Jr.

Patent number: 10351266Abstract: An ADCS module may be configured to use coordinate data from 2D photodiodes in one or more sun sensors to determine a sun vector. The ADCS module may then use the sun vector in reference to its own body faced (BF) coordinate system to calculate a change in the orientation of the space vehicle. The change in orientation mechanism may be accomplished by reaction wheels, ion thrusters, or other orientation altering mechanisms. A miniature, intelligent star tracker may be included that improves satellite attitude determination and pointing accuracy. An improved reaction wheel assembly may be included that is more robust and suitable for inclusion in small space vehicles.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2015Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Triad National Security, LLCInventors: Stephen Judd, Nicholas Dallmann, Michael Proicou, Daniel Seitz, Paul Stein, John Martinez, Gayle Kestell, Adam Warniment, Steven Storms
