  • Patent number: 11089660
    Abstract: A device for generating a condensation aerosol includes vaporization chamber having an upstream first inlet and a downstream outlet. A tube supplies liquid to a heater in the vaporization chamber. The liquid is pumped out of the tube and onto the heater, which vaporizes the liquid. Air flows from inlets through the vaporization chamber, and generally perpendicular to the tube. The vaporized liquid is entrained in the air, forming a condensation aerosol having a particle size in a selected range. A second inlet provides a substantially laminar flow of air into the airflow path, wherein the second inlet is downstream of the heater; and the device capable of changing air flow in the vaporization chamber to change the particle size of the condensation aerosol and/or to change the amount of visible vapor emitted from the device.

  • Patent number: 11082218
    Abstract: A module with an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) can include a received eUICC profile and a set of cryptographic algorithms. The received eUICC profile can include an initial shared secret key for authentication with a wireless network. The module can receive a key K network token and send a key K module token to the wireless network. The module can use the key K network token, a derived module private key, and a key derivation function to derive a secret shared network key K that supports communication with the wireless network. The wireless network can use the received key K module token, a network private key, and the key derivation function in order to derive the same secret shared network key K derived by the module. The module and the wireless network can subsequently use the mutually derived key K to communicate using traditional wireless network standards.

  • Patent number: 11050698
    Abstract: In an embodiment, the disclosed technologies monitor electronic message traffic between a network and a recipient computer system. An embodiment includes extracting, from an electronic message received from the network, a sending domain and message data, computing a lookalike score based on the sending domain, and assigning a message type to the electronic message based on the message data. The lookalike score and the message type may be used to determine whether the electronic message is a spoofing attack such as a business email compromise (BEC) attack. In response to determining that the electronic message is malicious, an embodiment may cause the network to at least one of modify, delay, re-route, or block transmission of the electronic message to the recipient computer system.
