Publication number: 20230165255Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid herbicidal composition comprising: a non-aqueous solvent system; at least one sulfonylurea herbicide in an amount of 10 wt. % or less; and two or more surfactants; and characterized in that: 80 wt. % to 100 wt. % of the total amount of surfactant in the liquid composition is made up of surfactants selected from the surfactant classes 1-14 as described herein; and at least two different surfactant classes 1-14 each account for at least 10 wt. % of the total amount of surfactant in the liquid composition. The inventors have found that, if a combination of two or more surfactants from the different surfactant classes are employed, and if a significant portion of the total amount of surfactant in the liquid composition is made of surfactants from the identified surfactant classes, then degradation of the sulfonylurea can be greatly reduced or eliminated, even in the absence of a stabilising agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2021Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: John GROOME, Andrew GOLDSMITH, Richard M. CLAPPERTON, Wayne HOPLEY

Patent number: 11170082Abstract: A method of operation and non-transitory computer readable medium are provided for a mobile communications device which includes memory storing program instructions and a processor coupled to a first input that passively collects input data and a second input that collects response data based on a challenge. A statistical behavioral model is generated based upon passively collected input data for the user. A level of assurance (LOA) is determined based upon the statistical behavioral model and the passively collected input data from the first input. The LOA is compared with a threshold and based on the comparison: the mobile device operation is enabled as a result of determining that the LOA meets or exceeds the threshold without requiring response data from the at least one second input, otherwise, the challenge is generated and the mobile device operation is enabled responsive to valid response data from the second input.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Michael Andrew Goldsmith, Aleksandar Papo, Robert Joseph Lombardi, Jasmin Mulaosmanovic, Nazih Almalki, Brian Everett McBride, Peter Mark Rabinovitch

Patent number: 10515198Abstract: A mobile communications device includes a plurality of first input devices capable of passively collecting input data, a second input device(s) capable of collecting response data based upon a challenge, and a processor capable of determining a level of assurance (LOA) that possession of the mobile communications device has not changed based upon a statistical behavioral model and the passively received input data, and comparing the LOA with a security threshold. When the LOA is above the security threshold, the processor may be capable of performing a given mobile device operation without requiring response data from the second input device(s). When the LOA falls below the security threshold, the processor may be capable of generating the challenge, performing the given mobile device operation responsive to valid response data, and adding recent input data to the statistical behavioral model responsive to receipt of the valid response data.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2018Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Michael Andrew Goldsmith, Aleksandar Papo, Robert Joseph Lombardi, Jasmin Mulaosmanovic, Nazih Almalki, Brian Everett McBride, Peter Mark Rabinovitch
