  • Patent number: 11936796
    Abstract: Described implementations obtain credential information including an encrypted digital identity (ID). The encrypted digital ID may include a public component of a credential and identity data. Furthermore, the credential information may include cryptographically obfuscated data based on the identity data and a private component of the credential. A proof is obtained that includes proof data. The proof data may confirm that the credential information was correctly generated. Verification of the proof data, and confirmation that the cryptographically obfuscated data is not associated in a collection of cryptographically obfuscated data, cause a computer-implemented service to issue a pseudonym. The pseudonym is usable to generate a relationship associated with a computer-implemented service.

  • Patent number: 10531710
    Abstract: A memory buckle assembly for use with an occupant restraint system includes a left inside case plate and a right inside case plate arranged within a rigid housing. The memory buckle assembly further includes an adjustable stop button and an adjustable memory button, operably mounted on the rigid housing, and configured to engage with a stop button configurator assembly and a memory button configurator assembly operably positioned between the left inside case plate and the right inside case plate within the rigid housing. The memory button configurator assembly is configurable using the adjustable memory button for enabling retention of a preset expanded position of the strap. The stop button configurator assembly is operably coupled to the memory button configurator assembly utilizing a spool gear and a memory gear to enable the expansion and retraction of the strap assisted by manual adjustments of the adjustable stop button.

  • Patent number: 10035064
    Abstract: Methods for game aim assist are provided. In electronic games, a game player may control the actions of a game character within a game environment. The game environment, which includes a focus area, may be displayed from a perspective of or with respect to a game character. During game play, one or more objects may be detected in the focus area. One of the objects may then be selected based on the distance between the object and the center of the focus area. The aim of the game character is then automatically adjusted toward the selected object, which allows the game player to direct an attack action on the object.

  • Publication number: 20130037127
    Abstract: A universal valve cap for pneumatic tire valve stems allows for quick and easy access to replenish air in tires. The bottom portion of the cap has an inner thread design, engagable with the threaded valve stem, and the top or crown part of the cap has a snap fastener fitting, allowing for inflation of the tire. The upper portion of the cap has a compression spring or memory plastic that offers resistance to a compressive force that will enable the upper section of the cap to be pressed down over the stationary bottom half of the cap when pressure is applied. The bottom portion of the cap can be pushed down and locked into an open position when inserting air or checking tire pressure. A twist of the cap releases the upper portion to its original position, allowing the top of the cap to be snapped closed.

  • Patent number: 7841652
    Abstract: A wheelhouse reinforcement bracket provides increased torsional rigidity for the rear wheelhouses of an automotive vehicle. The wheelhouse bracket is positioned in alignment with the location on the vehicle body where the shock absorber is located, and in alignment with the rear suspension cross frame member to create a structural ring formed by the wheelhouse bracket, the C-pillar and the rear suspension cross frame member. The wheelhouse bracket is formed with a mounting flange positionable within the inside of the U-shaped rear side frame rail to facilitate welding thereto instead of being welded to the top of the underbody floor structure. The mounting flange has a first portion configured to be mated against a first generally vertically extending wall of the rear side frame rail and a second portion configured to be mated against a generally horizontally extending wall of the rear side frame rail.

  • Patent number: 6659592
    Abstract: An apparatus incorporating multiple electrical interconnects extending through a substrate (e.g., a silicon wafer), and a method of forming the same. The electrical interconnects convey electrical signals through the substrate to structures mounted on the front side of the substrate. A conductive layer can be used to selectively distribute the electrical signals to the structures. Accordingly, it is not necessary to route electrical signals to the front side of the substrate in order to convey the signals to the structures. A structure can be coupled to multiple electrical interconnects in order to convey electrical signals along redundant paths through the substrate to the structure, improving reliability should one of the electrical interconnects fail.
