  • ROBOTIC WITH DEPTH FINDING CAPABILITY AND METHOD OF USING
    Publication number: 20250001617
    Abstract: A robot for disposal of hazardous ordnance, such as IEDs. The robot has a pair of opposed grippers extending outwardly in the longitudinal direction to respective distal ends. The grippers are mutually openable and closable to grasp the ordnance. As the grippers open and close they automatically move aft and fore, respectively. The robot has a single camera but no depth vision in the longitudinal direction. A sensor is mounted on the opposed grippers to determine the separation distance between the sensors as they open and close in real time. The lateral separation distance is automatically converted a to a longitudinal distance from the ordnance by the relationship between the lateral separation distances and the longitudinal advance of the grippers upon closing.

  • Associative PUF arrays to generate session keys with pseudo-homomorphic methods
    Patent number: 12184797
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the generation and use of session keys supporting secure communications between a client and server device are disclosed. The client hashes each of a series of passwords a first number of times. The hashed passwords are sent to a server. The server applies the hashed password to an array of PUF devices, and receives an initial response bitstream which is stored. The client later hashes each of the series of passwords a second number of times, which is less than the first number, and these are sent to the server. The server continues to hash the second message digest, generate PUF responses, and compare the result to the initially stored responses. For each password, the number of hashes necessary to achieve a match is a partial session key. Latency is improved by an array of separately addressable PUFs, each producing a partial session key.
