Patent number: 11956834Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for increasing uplink beamforming gain. In one aspect there is provided a method of identifying user equipment which makes use of the proposed new beam-sweeping random access channel procedure that enables the base station to identify the best uplink transmit beam rather than the first beam that the base station managed to detect. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Marco Maso, Simon Svendsen, Axel Mueller, Matthew Baker, Karri Ranta-Aho, Jun Tan

Patent number: 11917069Abstract: Secure user authentication using a OTP involve pre-storing an application on a first device for generating a valid OTP for the user responsive to receiving entry of a valid PIN, no part of the valid PIN is stored on the first device and pre-storing on a back-end server the valid PIN and a valid shared secret for the user. Upon receiving entry of a purported PIN, a purported shared secret is dynamically synthesized on the first device by the application based on the purported PIN and a purported OTP is generated on the first device. When entry of the purported OTP is received by the server in an attempt to log on the server from a second device, the server cryptographically calculates a window of OTPs, and logs on to the server from the second device is allowed if the calculated window of OTPs corresponds to the received OTP.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: CITICORP CREDIT SERVICES, INC.

Patent number: 11305568Abstract: Examples techniques to restrict unlatching of manifolds of carriage assemblies in printing devices are described. In an example, a carriage assembly of a printing device comprises a carriage structure defining an opening to house a printhead and a manifold coupled to the carriage structure. The manifold covers the printhead in a latched position and allows access to the integrated printhead in an unlatched position. A lock pin is mounted on the carriage structure, the lock pin being slideable to a first position and a second position with respect to the manifold along the carriage structure. In an example, the lock pin restricts unlatching of the manifold with the carriage structure in the second position.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Deyang Wang, Bryan Delima Yrogirog, Cherng Linn Teo, Adnil San Sazon, Wen Xuan Chew, Swee Guan Simon Tan, Ging Zhao Chen

Patent number: 10897404Abstract: System and method of a manipulative handle for revealing detail information in an interactive mobile user interface are disclosed. In one embodiment, when an activity supported by a cloud-based (e.g., online cloud-based collaboration platform) is initiated, the status of the activity is tracked and displayed using an animated user interface element. On and/or near the animated user interface element are hidden grab points that can be engaged to expand the user interface element to reveal detail relating to the activity. If the user interface element is already in an expanded state, detecting activation of hidden grab points on and/or near the user interface element causes minimization of the user interface element, thereby concealing the detail revealed earlier.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: Box, Inc.Inventors: Simon Tan, Nick Terry, Rico Yao, Don Cung

Patent number: 9959263Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to configurable multi-view data entry. When a user encounters a form field with a complex data type, depending on the invoking mechanism, either automatic when on focus, or through a user gesture such as clicking on an icon in the form field, the form field expands to multiple form fields including the original form field. The multiple form fields can allow the user to enter in each separate data item that makes up the complex data type. As data items are entered, the data items can be combined into a correct format and displayed in the original form field.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2010Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLC.Inventors: Michael Bach, Simon Tan, Vishal Joshi
