Patent number: 11979647Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for operating an electronic device as a web camera are disclosed. The disclosed embodiments relate to features that enable a user to operate a mobile device as a webcam. A smartphone case can hold a smartphone and be attached to a display, such as a laptop monitor or a flatscreen monitor, with a camera of the smartphone pointed at the user. The smartphone case can include a magnet, which triggers a Hall effect sensor inside the laptop or flatscreen monitor. The sensor can be used to trigger software that enables the smartphone and laptop or computer to pair with each other, e.g., by a Bluetooth handshake. The laptop or computer can accept a Wi-Fi or physical signal, such as via USB, from the smartphone and treat that input as a video stream into the laptop or computer.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: OSOM PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Jason Sean Gagne-Keats, David John Evans, V., Jean-Baptiste Charles Theou, Gary Anderson, Gary Bisson, Nicholas Franco

Publication number: 20240141212Abstract: An epoxy-based glue includes an epoxy material, and a solids component including diamond powder and silicon-carbide particles. The adhesive material may be used to form reaction-bonded silicon-carbide bonding reaction-bonded silicon-carbide parts together. The present disclosure also relates to a method of assembling a product from preforms, including locating an adhesive layer, containing diamond powder, between opposed preform surfaces, carbonizing the layer, and infiltrating molten silicon into the preforms and the carbonized layer to convert the preforms into corresponding reaction-bonded silicon-carbide parts, and to convert the carbonized layer into a reaction-bonded silicon-carbide bonding region with a reduced amount of residual silicon. An assembled product, including at least two reaction-bonded silicon-carbide parts bonded together by processing a diamond-containing adhesive, is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Sam Salamone, Sean McAnany, Glenn Evans

Patent number: 11953982Abstract: Embodiments include in response to monitoring a processor during operation, detecting a first number of core recovery events in the processor, determining that the first number of core recovery events fulfills a first condition for the first core recovery events threshold, and modifying a value of at least one droop sensor parameter of the processor by a first amount. The at least one droop sensor parameters affects a sensitivity to a voltage droop. In response to modifying the value of the droop sensor parameter by the first amount, a second number of core recovery events is detected in the processor. It is determined that the second number of core recovery events fulfills a second condition for a second core recovery events threshold, and the value of the at least one droop sensor parameter is modified by a second amount.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Alejandro Alberto Cook Lobo, Andrew A.

Patent number: 11943381Abstract: A technique for selectively configuring a case of a handheld device to shield an antenna from receiving or transmitting wireless signals is disclosed. The technique includes moving a blocking element on the case between a first position and a second position. The blocking element is a physical structure that is rotatable, slidable, or removable to switch between the first position and the second position. In response to moving the blocking element to the first position, the blocking element blocks wireless signals received or transmitted by the antenna of the handheld device. In response to moving the blocking element to the second position, wireless signals can be received or transmitted through the case by the antenna.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: OSOM PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Gary Anderson, Jason Sean Gagne-Keats, David John Evans, V

Publication number: 20240073016Abstract: The disclosed technique secures a seed phrase configured to access a digital wallet, which holds private keys to access digital assets on a blockchain. Copies of portions of the seed phrase are stored at multiple electronic devices. The seed phrase can be reconstructed at a particular device by retrieving a necessary and sufficient number of the portions from the other devices. In one example, the portions can be shared among devices when in physical proximity to each other and/or when the devices are authenticated as belonging to the same user, which owns the digital wallet. As such, the seed phrase can be stored securely across multiple devices and retrieved even when one of those devices is lost, damaged, or stolen.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Gary Anderson, Jason Sean Gagne-Keats, David John Evans, V
