Patent number: 10908929Abstract: Various implementations related to human versus bot detection using gesture fingerprinting are described. In one such implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving an input associated with an application presented on a display device, capturing sensor data associated with the input, detecting a variance in the sensor data, comparing the variance with variance criteria, determining whether the input is provided by a human user or mimicked by a programmed device based on the comparison of the variance with the variance criteria, and storing the determination as analytics data in association with the application.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2019Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: Famous Industries, Inc.Inventors: Mark H. Lu, Steven E. Newcomb

Patent number: 9844808Abstract: A crimping machine including a first shaft having a first crimping portion and a bead wheel and a second shaft having a tapered portion disposed opposite the bead wheel of the first shaft. The first and second shafts are configured to grip a pipe blank having a transverse channel including a first angle. The first and second shafts are further configured to roll the pipe blank forward while crimping a portion of the pipe blank with the first and second crimping portions and applying pressure on the transverse channel of the pipe blank. The crimping machine further has having a tapered portion disposed opposite at least a portion of the crimping portion and the bead wheel of the first shaft. The bead wheel is configured to push upon the forming shaft to bend the first angle of the transverse channel formed in the pipe blank to a second angle.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2014Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: FAMOUS INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Charles Klinect, Matthew Lehotay

Patent number: 9772889Abstract: Various implementations for expedited processing and handling of events are described. A first event associated with a set of one or more surfaces rendered for display in a multi-dimensional space is detected. The first event is routed to a first set of one or more event processors for processing. The first event is processed using the first set of one or more event processors and after the processing, the first event is handled using one or more first event handlers.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2014Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: Famous Industries, Inc.Inventors: Mark H. Lu, Steven E. Newcomb, Brian R. Maissey, Andrew J. L. de Andrade
