  • Patent number: 11820210
    Abstract: A vehicle window system includes a vehicle door that has a window region. The system includes a fixed window having an exterior surface and an interior surface, a division bar, and a movable window. The fixed window is arranged in a first portion of the window region, and the division bar is arranged along a first region of the interior surface. The movable window is arranged in a second portion of the window region and is configured to close against the division bar. The division bar is not directly visible from outside of the vehicle door when viewed at an elevation of the fixed window. To illustrate, the movable window can be configured to move vertically within the first portion of the window region and the fixed window arranged at the top of the window region and the division bar is arranged substantially horizontally along the interior surface.

  • Publication number: 20230352897
    Abstract: A laser light generator is configured to generate one or more wavelengths of continuous wave laser light. The laser light generator is configured to collectively and simultaneously transmit each of the wavelengths of continuous wave laser light through an optical output of the laser light generator as a laser light supply. An optical fiber is connected to receive the laser light supply from the optical output of the laser light generator. An optical distribution network has an optical input connected to receive the laser light supply from the optical fiber. The optical distribution network is configured to transmit the laser light supply to each of one or more optical transceivers and/or optical sensors. The laser light generator is physically separate from each of the one or more optical transceivers and/or optical sensors.

  • Publication number: 20220358236
    Abstract: Data security using randomized features, provides improved protection of user data, within a cloud infrastructure. Files received are broken apart into data blocks then randomly written into storage locations that are recorded in sequence into a key comprising an array of pointers. Data blocks may be randomly sized between maximum and minimum parameters. Storage locations may first be tested to prevent unwanted overwrites of preexisting data, undersized locations may receive a partial write, plus a pointer to an overflow location into which the remainder of data is written. Randomized data storage is separate and isolated from pointers based key storage via separate communication channels, and separate storage infrastructures. Download speeds may be boosted via parallel processing of data blocks out of storage and into reassembly according to the pointers key sequence. Re-assembled files may be worked upon then saved back into the cloud infrastructure.

  • Publication number: 20220345303
    Abstract: Time randomizing information protocol language encryption, provides systems, methods, computer programs and algorithms for encrypting communications. Provided by software in devices or firmware in networking hardware cooperates between at least two systems. Ciphers are randomly timed and replaced after a random period rendering eavesdropper decryption efforts ineffective and/or uneconomic. Ciphers may be based on common seed data sets, or on pointers to an array containing seed data. These seed data values, or pointers to them may be used in communications in shared transient languages. Languages may include number bases from binary on upwards, and characters used in human or machine languages. One implementation may convert human speech to text, then encrypt and transmit it, for decryption and conversion to synthetic speech in secure battlefield communications, or secure identity protected communications as may suit intelligence agencies.

  • Publication number: 20220345304
    Abstract: A time optimizing communications system and method is provided because “loose lips sink ships”. Orders get “do by” parameters, “deliver by” times and may be broken into parts according to “do by” parameters, and/or by prioritization for delivery only when the recipient has the need-to-know. Time sensitive and most secret parts are communicated just in time, some data may be sent at randomized times that may bias traffic on communications infrastructure towards bandwidth optimization. Reducing risk of decryption by adversaries occurring quickly enough to frustrate the purposes of orders. Parts may be broken into data blocks and routed and/or stored randomly. An array of pointers records details of their creation and/or storage locations to provide a key for retrieving data blocks and/or reconstructing messages; timing is managed according to mission needs, and priorities. May also reduce peak demand on communications bandwidth.

  • Patent number: 11206203
    Abstract: Embodiments generally disclosed herein include a computer-implemented method for monitoring and correlating network traffic data associated with a primary network that is in communication with a plurality of secondary networks. The method generates a network traffic data set by monitoring network traffic between the primary network and the plurality of secondary networks. The method also determines a mapping of network connectivity by monitoring inter-network routing information between the primary network and the plurality of secondary networks. In addition, the method generates a traffic measurement data set by monitoring network utilization statistics between the primary network and the plurality of secondary networks. With the collected data sets, the method then calculates a relational network mapping between the primary network and the plurality of secondary networks by correlating the network traffic data set, the mapping of network connectivity, and the traffic measurement data set.

  • Publication number: 20210379945
    Abstract: The present technology describes systems and methods for a mechanized gladhand and an end effector. The mechanized gladhand may have a collar capable of rotational motion while the mating surface may be in contact with a second surface without rotating. This may reduce reaction loads while maintaining the integrity of the connection. The end effector may include a drive motor, clasping tool, and/or driving installed tool that may be used to couple a tool with the gladhand or may be used in other applications. The end effector may have a compact design to allow precise control. The movement of the end effector with the gladhand may be controlled based on image processing to align the tool with another component.

  • Patent number: 11144181
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a first graphical layer having a plurality of edges is rendered in a graphical user interface, the first graphical layer including a first virtual button rendered at a default location and one or more pieces of information. Then a user input of selecting the first virtual button and moving the first virtual button to a new location other than the default location is detected. In response to the detecting, the new location is compared to each of the plurality of edges to determine a geometrically closest edge to the new location, and a second graphical layer is rendered on top of the first graphical layer, the second graphical layer abutting the geometrically closest edge to the new location.
