  • Positioning and clamping system for thread rolling
    Patent number: 11351621
    Abstract: The present invention is a die positioning system for use in positioning mobile or fixed dies. The system includes a pair of key bars, a pair of key disc inserts, a set of key discs, and a set of disc backers. The key bars and key discs serve to offset manufacturing dies or die holders. Using key bars and/or key discs from different pairs of key bars and/or sets of key discs also allows for precise angulation of the dies or die holders. The key discs are held in place between the die and die holder, or between the die holder and key base, by the key disc inserts and angled (if feasible) by the disc backers. The key bars, located between the key disc inserts and the die or die holder allow additional offset of the die or die holder. The solid, stacked configuration of the key bars and key discs prevents the die or die holder from gradually or suddenly losing its positioning.

  • Non-disruptive mitigation of malware attacks
    Patent number: 11354413
    Abstract: A method and system for mitigating a malware attack are disclosed herein. A malware detection module iterates over a virtual memory address space associated with a process executing on a computer system. The malware detection module identifies a region of memory likely to be vulnerable to a malware attack. Responsive to identifying the region of memory, a thread hollowing module determines a specific process thread associated with the identified region of memory. The thread hollowing module renders the specific process thread inoperable.

  • Anti-glare, privacy screen for windows or electronic device displays
    Patent number: 11353639
    Abstract: An array of microstructures or frustums on a substrate for reducing glare for electronic device displays or windows. The microstructures are designed to nearly perfectly align with the pixels on the display to avoid adverse viewing effects, such as Moiré effects. Substantially all light from the environment illuminating the front side of the film containing the microstructures from all angles is not reflected to the primary viewer (often viewing at an angle normal to the film). Light illuminating the microstructure from the environment will reflect off the microstructures at angles greater than a defined threshold outside the primary viewers field of view. Thus, glare to the primary viewer is minimized while glare to other views who view from other angles than the primary viewer is increased. This increased glare for other viewers adds privacy for the viewing by the primary viewer.

  • Hub-based system for controlling automated windows
    Patent number: 11352828
    Abstract: A system for controlling one or more motorized windows. The motorized windows each have a processor, a network device and wireless transmitters enabling connection via a network. The network is controlled by one or more mobile devices which receive user input. The mobile devices wirelessly connect to a local area network (LAN) via a hub. One or more hubs are connected via the LAN. The motorized windows are networked via a personal area network (PAN). The hubs convert the LAN protocol to the PAN protocol. Sensors send sensor data along with real time weather data to the processor. The processor uses this sensor data to update charts and schedules in memory, then sends commands to the controller based on these updated charts and schedules according to user defined and factory set parameters. The system includes both local and cloud-based control.

  • Turn-on procedure for a load control system
    Patent number: 11357092
    Abstract: A load regulation device is adapted to control an electrical load. The load regulation device may be in a low power state, a ready state, and/or an on state. The low power state is characterized by the electrical load being unenergized. The ready state is characterized by a load control device and/or the load regulation device using more power than the low power state and the electrical load being unenergized. The on state is characterized by the electrical load being energized. The load regulation device is configured to receive an indication of a user's presence when the load regulation device is in the low power state. The load regulation device is configured to change from the low power state to the ready state in response to receiving the indication. The load regulation device is configured to wait in the ready state for a change state instruction.
