Patent number: 11941629Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing instructions when receiving biometric data associated with a user. For instance, a device may detect a portion of a user, such as a hand. The device may then display a first graphical element indicating a target location for placing the portion of the user above the user-recognition device. Additionally, the device may determine locations of the portion of the user above the device. The device may then display a second graphical element indicating the locations, such as when the locations are not proximate to the target location. Additionally, the device may display instructions for moving the portion of the user to the target location. Based on detecting that the location of the portion of the user is proximate to the target location, the device may send data representing the portion of the user to a remote system.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Nichole Stockman, Korwin Jon Smith, Douglas Andrew Hungarter, Joshua Adam Cowan, Jared Corso, Rajeev Ranjan, Prithviraj Banerjee, Matthew Christopher Smith

Patent number: 11934278Abstract: A data storage library is described that protects against a malware attack by providing a scheduled write window of time where archive data can be written to tape cartridges in the tape library on behalf of a client. At times outside of the write window, the tape library is disabled from writing any archive data to any of the tape cartridges in the tape library. Accordingly, the tape library is protected from a malicious entity attempting to download malware to tape cartridges in the tape library outside of the designated write windows. The tape library is configured to provide or otherwise read archived data from a tape cartridge both in the write window and outside of the write window.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Spectra Logic CorporationInventors: Nathan Christopher Thompson, Matthew Thomas Starr, Matthew Ninesling, Walter Wong
