Publication number: 20210206309Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide users with a kayak transporting apparatus to assist the users in the transportation of a kayak with minimum effort and strain to the users' body. The present invention provides a kayak carrier for a vehicle that can be adjusted to fit various sizes and shapes of kayak. The present invention is a low-profile apparatus compared to other kayak transporting apparatuses. The kayak transporting apparatus is also intended to be easily stored away as the kayak transporting apparatus is light-weight and the components of the apparatus are detachable from each other. Further, the present invention is a hitch attachment for the rear of a vehicle which facilitates the backing of a vehicle compared to a trailer ball attachment of other kayak transporting apparatuses. Thus, the present invention is a light weight, compact, versatile apparatus for transporting kayaks efficiently.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2020Publication date: July 8, 2021Inventor: John William Hayes

Publication number: 20210142827Abstract: Systems and methods provide for capturing and presenting content creation tools of an application used in a video. Application data from the application for the duration of the video is received. The application data includes data identifiers and time markers corresponding to user interaction with an application in a video. The application data is processed to detect tool identifiers identifying tools used in the video based on the data identifiers. For each a tool identifier, a tool label and a corresponding time in the timeline is determined. A tool record storing the tool labels and the corresponding times in association with the video is generated. When a viewer requests to watch the video, the tool record is presented to the viewer in conjunction with the video.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2019Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: William Hayes ALLEN, Lubomira DONTCHEVA, Haiqing LU, Zachary Platt MCCULLOUGH, David R.

Patent number: 10992648Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a Secure Time Communication System (10) are disclosed. One embodiment of the invention provides secure and non-interactive communication of clock information over an unsecured communications channel. This communication provides perfect forward secrecy, while detecting and blocking message spoofing, message replay, denial of service and cryptographic performance attacks. This mechanism also bounds the effect of message delay manipulation. The mechanism consists of two components, a filtered time encryptor (16) and a filtered time decryptor (28). The filtered time encryptor (16) produces a message in two parts; a time token followed by an encrypted message body. The time token is used as a filter to detect most attacks and to determine the message key.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2017Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Blue Armor Technologies, LLCInventors: John William Hayes, Douglas A. Laird, Charles Andrew Gram

Publication number: 20200077769Abstract: The present application relates generally to carrier bags, and specifically to a reconfigurable bag which can carry a car seat. The carrier of the present application includes a wall system defining a seat compartment, the wall system moveable between an extended configuration, in which an expansion portion is included in defining an outer wall of the seat compartment, and a retracted configuration, in which the expansion portion is excluded from defining the outer wall of the seat compartment. The outer wall of the seat compartment further has an opening, the opening permitting objects to enter or exit the seat compartment and the outer wall of the seat compartment having a cover portion being moveable to close the opening. The carrier further includes a releasable fastener system to govern access through the opening. A related method of utilizing the carrier as a car seat carrier and backpack are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2019Publication date: March 12, 2020Inventor: William Hayes Just Brooks
