Patent number: 8342681Abstract: Computer eyewear for reducing the effects of Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). In one embodiment, the eyewear comprises a frame and two lenses. In some embodiments, the frame and lenses have a wrap-around design to reduce air flow in the vicinity of the eyes. The lenses can have optical power in the range of approximately +0.5 to +2.5 diopters for reducing accommodation demands on a user's eyes when using a computer. The lenses can also include prismatic power for reducing convergence demand on a user's eyes when sitting at a computer. The lenses can also include a partially transmissive mirror coating, tinting, and anti-reflective coatings. In one embodiment, a partially transmissive mirror coating or tinting spectrally filters light to remove spectral peaks in fluorescent or incandescent lighting.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2011Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Gunnar Optiks, LLCInventors: Joseph Croft, Matthew Michelsen, Robert Joyce

Publication number: 20120239938Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for dynamically assembling and utilizing a pedigree of a resource. A pedigree of a resource is a set of statements that describe a provenance of the resource. As described herein, a document may include local pedigree fragments and optionally one or more pointers to remote pedigree fragments not locally stored in the document. A pedigree fragment, generally, is a data structure that specifies a direct relationship between a first resource, e.g., a primary resource, and a second resource from which an asserted fact of the first resource is derived. Because a pedigree fragment specifies such direct relationships, a set of pedigree fragments may be used to assemble the complete pedigree of resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2011Publication date: September 20, 2012Applicant: Architecture Technology CorporationInventors: Ken Thurber, Robert A. Joyce, Julia A. Baker

Publication number: 20120221633Abstract: The invention is directed to techniques for allowing a user to remotely interrogate a target computing device in order to collect and analyze computer evidence that may be stored on the target computing device. A forensic device receives input from a remote user that identifies computer evidence to acquire from the target computing device. The forensic device acquires the computer evidence from the target computing device and presents a user interface for the forensic device through which the remote user views the computer evidence acquired from the target computing device. In this manner, forensic device allows the user to interrogate the target computing device to acquire the computer evidence without seizing or otherwise “shutting down” the target device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2012Publication date: August 30, 2012Applicant: ARCHITECTURE TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Frank N. Adelstein, Matthew A. Stillerman, Robert Joyce

Publication number: 20120110093Abstract: This disclosure is directed to techniques for providing version control functionality for web services of one or more service oriented architecture (SOA) systems. According to these techniques, a version control service (VCS) may receive an indication of a version update for a first web service. In response to the received request, the VCS determines whether the version update, if executed within the SOA system, will cause a change in operation of a second web service. If the version update will cause a change, VCS provides an indication of the determined change to a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2010Publication date: May 3, 2012Applicant: Architecture Technology CorporationInventors: Daniel James Tingstrom, Robert A.

Patent number: 7886049Abstract: In general, the invention provides for analyzing a target computer for computer crimes such as illegal sharing of files or sharing of illegal files on peer-to-peer clients. The target computer may have software for a plurality of peer-to-peer clients. Only one extensible forensic device may be necessary to analyze the plurality of peer-to-peer clients for downloaded or shared files. For example, the invention may provide for a method comprising determining whether one or more peer-to-peer clients are or have been installed on a target device by identifying information associated with one or more peer-to-peer modules, wherein each module is associated with a different one of the one or more peer-to-peer clients. The method further includes, gathering usage information for the one or more peer-to-peer clients that had been determined to be installed on the target computer, analyzing the usage information, and automatically generating a report of the analyzed usage information.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2008Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: Architecture Technology CorporationInventors: Frank N.

Publication number: 20090224875Abstract: The security system prevents theft of articles from an enclosure having a lockable access opening. Using RFID technology, a transponder periodically scans the enclosed display area to interrogate RFID tags associated with each of the articles within the enclosure. Access to the enclosure is controlled by an electronically activated retrofit lock associated with the access opening. Biometric technology is used to identify an individual attempting to access the enclosure and to determine whether the identified individual is authorized to access the enclosure. If the individual is authorized, the identity of the authorized individual, the identity of an article removed from the enclosure, and the time that the article was removed from the enclosure are recorded. A POS/inventory control system notes the sale of the removed article. A security alert signal is generated if the removed article is not sold or returned to the enclosure within a given time period after the article was removed from the enclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2009Publication date: September 10, 2009Inventors: Alan Rabinowitz, Robert Joyce
