Patent number: 11797398Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: 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.

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
