Patent number: 11218318Abstract: A data management process in a storage system comprises a two-step deletion process with a confirmation hold. Data identified in a service request for deletion is encrypted using a one-time use public key to render the data inaccessible to users and system processes. The data is decrypted using a corresponding private key and verified that the data corresponds to the data and is quarantined to prevent access by changing permissions. The quarantined data is further analyzed using a set of criteria that to determine whether access to the data by system users or process is still needed. If not, the data is permanently deleted by securely deleting the encryption and decryption keys.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company, LLCInventor: Zachary Ian Ducker

Patent number: 11214490Abstract: A method of wet-scrubbing a waste gas containing sulfur dioxide (SO2) to produce potassium thiosulfate. The wet-scrubbing facility includes multiple horizontally disposed stages where a preceding stage passes partially-scrubbed waste gas to a succeeding stage. Each stage has a scrubber mechanism to scrub waste gas with circulating fluid that progressively reduces SO2 in the waste gas before atmospheric discharge. The scrubber mechanism may optionally include a packing material to facilitate absorption of SO2 by the fluid, a sump disposed at the output of the stage to receive fluid as it drains from the packing, and a circulation pump to circulate fluid from the sump to its packing and to cascade at least a portion of the fluid back to a preceding stage. A portion of the fluid is extracted and reacted in a reaction vessel with a cation to produce potassium thiosulfate.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2021Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: Ceres Technology, LLCInventors: Francine D'Angelo, Joan Wright Manley

Patent number: 11215814Abstract: An ophthalmic laser system uses a non-confocal configuration to determine a laser beam focus position relative to the patient interface (PI) surface. The system includes a light intensity detector with no confocal lens or pinhole between the detector and the objective lens. When the objective focuses the light to a target focus point inside the PI lens at a particular offset from its distal surface, the light signal at the detector peaks. The offset value is determined by fixed system parameters, and can also be empirically determined by directly measuring the PI lens surface by observing the effect of plasma formation at the glass surface. During ophthalmic procedures, the laser focus is first scanned insider the PI lens, and the target focus point location is determined from the peak of the detector signal. The known offset value is then added to obtain the location of the PI lens surface.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2018Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: AMO Development, LLCInventors: Mohammad Saidur Rahaman, Hong Fu, Roger W.

Patent number: 11216426Abstract: An improved query system in which registered sex offender information published in state and territory databases is obtained using an improved data scraper, merged, cleaned, and/or enriched to remove inaccuracies is described herein. Users can then perform a single search or multiple searches simultaneously (e.g., perform batch searches) and view the results in a single content page. The improved query system can use the merged and/or cleaned data to generate a more limited set of search results, reducing the amount of mismatched or inaccurate information that a user may have to navigate through. Thus, users can perform one or more searches and view accurate search results without having to navigate through many different windows or content pages or perform additional navigational steps to identify relevant information.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2019Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: KnowPeds, LLCInventors: Namita Magoon, Sanjay Magoon

Patent number: 11215686Abstract: Electrochemical devices with metal casings have been considered incompatible with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy because the oscillating magnetic fields (“rf fields”) responsible for excitation and detection of NMR active nuclei do not penetrate metals. According to the present invention, rf fields can still efficiently penetrate into nonmetallic layers of electrochemical cells (such as a coin cell battery configuration) provided the magnetic field is oriented tangentially to the electrochemical cell electrodes in a “skimming” orientation. As an example, noninvasive high field in situ 7Li and 19F NMR of an unmodified commercial off-the-shelf rechargeable coin cell was demonstrated using a traditional external NMR coil setup. The in operando NMR measurements revealed that irreversible physical changes accumulate at the anode during electrochemical cycling.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2021Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignees: National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC, ABQMR, Inc.Inventors: Eric Glenn Sorte, Mark S.
