Publication number: 20240272994Abstract: In some embodiments, a system is provided, comprising enforcement hardware configured to execute, at run time, a state machine in parallel with application code. Executing the state machine may include: maintaining metadata that corresponds to one or more state variables of the state machine; matching instructions in the application code to transitions in the state machine; and, in response to determining that an instruction in the application code does not match any transition from a current state of the state machine, causing an error handling routine to be executed. In some embodiments, a description of a state machine may be translated into at least one policy to be enforced at run time based on metadata labels associated with application code and/or data manipulated by the application code.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: August 15, 2024Applicant: Dover Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Sutherland, Jonathan B.

Patent number: 11776021Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for synchronizing presentation across multiple devices. A method may include receiving, by a first device, a first price associated with a product and a first time, wherein the first price is presented in a virtual location. The method may include determining a second price and a second time, the second price associated with the product, wherein the second price is presented at a physical location. The method may include determining that the first time is after the second time. The method may include determining a difference between the first price and the second price. The method may include generating, based on the difference, one or more application programming interface (API) calls associated with replacing, at the physical location, presentation of the second price with presentation of the first price.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2020Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Narendra Gyanchandani, Andrew Sutherland, Rajesh Babel, Bilyana Slavova, Rajan Navnitbhai Parmar

Patent number: 11712588Abstract: A door breaching device includes a longitudinal chassis having a first extremity, a piston assembly with a piston rod adapted for linear displacement within a piston chamber, a hydraulic pump operatively connected to the piston assembly, and a two-part head assembly with a fixed jaw attached to the first extremity of the longitudinal chassis and a moveable jaw operatively connected to an end of the piston rod proximate to the first extremity. When the device is in a rest position, the piston rod is in a retracted position within the piston chamber to allow portions of the fixed jaw and the moveable jaw to fit between a first surface and a second surface. Upon actuation of the door breaching device, the piston rod is linearly displaced from the retracted position and the movable jaw applies a force to increase a distance between the first surface and the second surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2022Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: OFF THE X INC.Inventors: Ryan Andre Desgroseilliers, Andrew Mackenzie Henry, Sergiu Mihai Geamanu, Depinder Singh Bhullar, Richard Elliot Fenster, James Joseph Russell Bracken, Michael Ciccone, Ronald Andrew Sutherland
