Patent number: 10984473Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for providing peer-based management of user accounts are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one memory and logic coupled to the at least one memory. The logic may be configured to determine a total entity risk value representing a risk position of an entity comprising at least one segment, generate a plurality of risk tokens, each of the plurality of risk tokens having a token value that is a portion of the total risk value, determine a total segment risk value for the at least one segment, the total segment risk value representing a portion of the total entity risk value allocated to the at least one segment, and distribute the plurality of risk tokens to the at least one segment of the entity to correspond with the total segment risk value. Other embodiments are described.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventor: Anthony Johnson

Patent number: 10945759Abstract: A microneedle device includes an elastic sleeve to provide a biasing force and also to provide a fluid impermeable seal. The biasing force urges a barrel from the extended position to the retracted position. As a seal, the sleeve prevents contamination by fluids that may enter the barrel. Additionally, the distal end of the barrel features an undulating (waveform-like) formation to prevent suction buildup between the barrel and a patient's skin.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2017Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Refine USA, LLCInventors: Brian Smith, Anthony A. Johnson

Patent number: 9904260Abstract: Verification systems are provided for verification of proper execution of control commands on remote devices. In some embodiments, the verification systems can include video cameras, audio sensors, thermal detectors, etc., to provide secondary sources of information by which to verify primary reports on a state of a remote device. Each device can be associated with a device profile defining operating characteristics of the remote device in various states. In some examples, device properties can also be defined based on a current state of the device and a received control command. In some examples, the device profiles are models of expected device properties that can used to verify proper execution of control commands. In some embodiments, detection of state mismatch can trigger a variety of actions by the system to mediate the mismatched state according to a variety of control rules.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2014Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC USA, INC.Inventors: Chad Andrew Lloyd, Piotr Boleslaw Przydatek, Anthony Johnson
