Patent number: 11979744Abstract: Federation policy exchange is provided in response to receiving a sharing query from an Access Point (AP) indicating that an associated wireless network supports federated identities with data sharing, determining whether the sharing query is within sharing preferences; and in response to determining that the sharing query is within the sharing preferences, transmitting, to the AP, a positive response for identity sharing that authorizes collection and sharing of identity data with at least one entity identified in a sharing policy for the associated wireless network. In various embodiments, federation policy exchange includes transmitting a support notification, via an AP, indicating support for federated identities with data sharing within a wireless network associated with the AP; and in response to receiving a first identify sharing preference from a User Equipment (UE) that indicates that negotiation is preferred, transmitting a sharing policy for the wireless network to the UE.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Jerome Henry, Louis G.

Patent number: 10781622Abstract: An opening and closing mechanism for a roll-up cargo door for a truck is intended to decrease injuries to the people who load and unload items from box trucks and semi-trailers. The mechanism allows the user to open and close the overhead roll-up door of these trucks while standing firmly and safely on the ground at the rear corner of the truck. The door opening and closing mechanism is in the form of a loop of material that is attached to a lower portion of the roll-up door and a guide disposed near the top of the door frame. The loop is disposed along one of the vertical frame members of the door so that it is out of the way of the cargo hold when the door is open.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2019Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Inventor: Robert G. Barton

Publication number: 20170226468Abstract: Methods of inducing or increasing lipid and protein production in microalgae are disclosed. Methods of enhancing microalgae biomass are also disclosed. The methods may comprise inoculating a culture media with microalgae and propagating the microalgae under heterotrophic growth conditions. The heterotrophic growth conditions may comprise inhibiting exposure of the inoculated culture media to light. The methods may further comprise delivering oxygen into the inoculated culture media. Additionally, lipids, proteins, and other cellular components may be isolated and purified from microalgae cultivated under the disclosed methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2017Publication date: August 10, 2017Applicant: ENTECH, LLCInventors: John Whitman, Robert G.

Publication number: 20170021382Abstract: A roll, strip, or sheet of masking devices includes a masking device used for painting or other finishing work. Each of the masking devices is configured for masking the surface of an object, such as a windowpane or a corner of a wall adjacent a ceiling. The devices include low tack, pressure sensitive adhesive. The devices can be triangular in shape to provide options for fitting into tight corners. The triangular shape also provides a wide gripping surface for the user's finger and thumb. This makes the triangular masking devices desirable for windows. A gripping tab can be provided along the gripping surface with the gripping tab being free of adhesive for removal.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2016Publication date: January 26, 2017Inventor: Robert G.
