  • Patent number: 12261825
    Abstract: A system and method for securely exchanging information between a server and an endpoint. A firewall and switch may administer connections between the endpoint and the server. The network interface of the server may send and receive information through the firewall and switch. A program task in the sever may set the network interface to be in an “on state” for a predetermined amount of time on a specific date thereby creating an active time transfer window that the network interface can receive communications from the endpoint.

  • Publication number: 20250058579
    Abstract: A substrate is printed with front side and back side markings. The front side when viewed with reflected light includes a first marking printed with a first gradient of a first color with increasing intensity from a first edge of the substrate to a second edge of the substrate. The back side when viewed with reflected light includes a second marking printed with a second gradient of the first color with decreasing intensity from the first edge of the substrate to the second edge of the substrate. The first gradient and the second gradient are selected for a combination of the first marking and the second marking, when viewed from the front side with transmitted light, to be seen with a same intensity of the first color at the first edge and the second edge.

  • Patent number: 12213739
    Abstract: A system to estimate consequences of an explosion includes a scenario generator to generate a scenario based on user input and scenario parameters; an explosive device model generator to generate an explosive device model based on the user input and explosive device parameters; a propagation of hazards modeler to model propagation of hazards into the scenario based on the user input and hazard parameters; an injury modeler to model injuries corresponding to modeling propagation of hazards into the scenario based on injury parameters; and an iteration and output generator to iterate by using additional iterative subsets of the parameters to generate the scenario, generate the explosive device model, model propagation of hazards, and model injuries, until parameter spaces of the parameters are covered. The iteration and output generator generates an injury record based injury outcomes from the modeling of injuries corresponding to the iterating.

  • Publication number: 20250010951
    Abstract: An example is directed to a mooring apparatus for mooring a vessel via a mooring buoy to an anchor under weather conditions from a light weather condition up to a preset maximum weather condition. A single-bouncer mooring apparatus includes a bouncer connected via an anchor line to the anchor having an anchor weight, the bouncer having a bouncer weight; and a catenary section line connected between the mooring buoy and the bouncer, the catenary section line having a catenary section length and a catenary section weight. The bouncer weight, the catenary section length, and the catenary section weight are selected to place the bouncer just touching the bottom of the body of water in the preset maximum weather condition for the vessel having the vessel length and the vessel weight. A multiple-bouncer mooring apparatus includes two or more bouncers connected in series via respective catenary section lines to the mooring buoy.

  • Patent number: 12187661
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed towards a simulant and method relating to producing a simulant. For example, a simulant of a textured target threat includes a background material associated with a background attenuation, and a texture component(s) dispersed in the background material and associated with a component attenuation and a component characteristic. The component characteristic prevents the component attenuation of the texture component from being homogeneously dispersed throughout the background attenuation of the background material, to cause the simulant to mimic an aspect(s) of an X-ray signature of the textured target threat.

  • Publication number: 20250001793
    Abstract: Examples are directed toward anticounterfeit markings printed on a substrate. The substrate has a front side and a back side and is printed with front side markings on the front side and back side markings on the back side. The front side markings and the back side markings have dimensions in a micrometer range. The front side when viewed with reflected light comprises first portions of a plurality of characters. The back side when viewed with reflected light comprises second portions of the plurality of characters. The first portions and the second portions are printed, when viewed with transmitted light, to show the plurality of characters as whole characters having dimensions in the micrometer range, as a transmitted light security feature.

  • Publication number: 20240422553
    Abstract: In an example, a provider system receives from a user device a request for user access through a checkpoint. The provider system sends to the user device a request for identification information of the user. The provider system receives user information associated with a mobile identification credential (MIC) which the user device received from an authorizing party system (APS), the user having consented to release the user information to the provider system, and the user information having been verified by the APS. The provider system uses the verified user information associated with the MIC to verify or not verify the identity of the user. The provider system verifies the identity of the user before granting the user the request for user access through the checkpoint.
