  • Locking latch and mount for secure attachment and support of enclosures
    Patent number: 11359763
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for securely mounting an enclosure are described. In various embodiments a device enclosure includes a recessed back area in which a mounting latch including a generally key-shaped opening is positioned. A mounting bracket including a post having multiple dimensions is secured to a wall. The enclosure and latch is placed over the post. The enclosure is moved so that the post slides in the key-shaped opening and snaps into the first portion of the key-shaped opening. To release the latch a release tool is inserted into a slot or other opening and rotated so that the tip or tips of the release tool can pass through one or more openings in a rear wall of the enclosure and compress a portion of the latch allowing the enclosure and latch to slide on the shaft until the enclosure reaches a position where it can be removed.

  • Chaining, triggering, and enforcing entitlements
    Patent number: 11361106
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to techniques for chaining, triggering, and/or enforcing entitlements in a constrained environment. A constrained environment may be provided within with shielded assets are required to exist or execute. An entitlement may be granted on a variety of shielded assets, including datasets, computations scripts, data privacy pipelines, and intermediate datasets generated by an intermediate step of a data privacy pipeline. Thus, a beneficiary may use a granted entitlement as an input into other data privacy pipelines, without the need for the grantor to approve each specific downstream operation. The constrained environment may enforce an entitlement by fulfilling applicable constraints upon accessing the entitlement, restricting the output of the entitlement to the constrained environment, and fulfilling applicable policies when executing downstream operations.

  • Bioreactor paradigm for the production of secondary extra-particle hyphal matrices
    Patent number: 11359174
    Abstract: The invention describes a methodology for production of a secondary extra-particle fungal matrix for application as a mycological material, manufactured via a Type II actively aerated static packed-bed bioreactor. A pre-conditioned air stream is passed through a substrate of discrete elements inoculated with a filamentous fungus to form an isotropic inter-particle hyphal matrix between the discrete elements. Continued feeding of the air through the substrate of discrete elements and isotropic inter-particle hyphal matrixes develops an extra-particle hyphal matrix that extends from an isotropic inter-particle hyphal matrix in the direction of airflow into a void space within the vessel.
