Patent number: 12442949Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to testing apparatus and methods for measuring forces between objects. The apparatus and methods are used to detect a change in the local gravitational constant resulting from non-Newtonian effects of General Relativity and/or a novel radial dilation influence. Detection is facilitated by measuring a force difference between a stationary state and a spinning state of attractive forces between objects. The apparatus and methods are used to detect a change in electromechanical influence of forces due to the Barnett affect and other anomalous electromagnetic force contributors. A testing apparatus includes a central target arrangement. The central target arrangement includes a pair of masses, and a target coupled to the pair of masses. The testing apparatus includes a detector configured to recognize the target, and a first rotatable mass. The first rotatable mass is supported independently of the target and the pair of target masses.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2022Date of Patent: October 14, 2025Assignee: Unspace, LLCInventors: Phillip Scott Lentz, Benjamin Peters, Kevin Stephens, Evan Laske

Patent number: 11468172Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for automatically generating information about risks associated with browser extensions used by browsers in an enterprise network for purposes of determining whether to whitelist a browser extension in response to a request from a user. A request to install a browser extension is obtained from a user device of a plurality of user devices associated with an organization, wherein the request comprises an extension identifier for the browser extension. A risk score is generated for the browser extension based on risk values for each of one or more permissions requested by the browser extension. The risk score is compared to a threshold value to determine whether the browser extension satisfies risk standards of the organization, and if so, the browser extension is automatically added to a whitelist of permitted extensions for future installation on the plurality of user devices.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Jacob Rickerd, Steve Edwards, Zack Hardie, Peter Jackson, Kyle Lady, Benjamin Peters, Art Sturdevant

Publication number: 20190329320Abstract: In exemplary implementations of this invention, an actuated fabricator deposits structural elements (e.g., tensile structural elements) in a 3D pattern over large displacements. The fabricator is supported by at least three elongated support members. It includes onboard actuators that translate the fabricator relative to the ends of the support members. The fabricator is configured, by actuating different translations along different support members, to translate itself throughout a 3D volume. In some implementations, each of the actuators use fusible material to fuse metal tapes together, edge-to-edge, to form a hollow structure that can be shortened or lengthened.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2019Publication date: October 31, 2019Inventors: Benjamin Peters, Neri Oxman

Patent number: 10408314Abstract: In exemplary implementations, a target rod is actuated. The target rod is part of a set of threaded, elongated rods, the longitudinal axes of which are substantially parallel to each other. The set of rods has an interior region and a perimeter region. Actuators induce vibrations in a set of perimeter rods. These vibrations are substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axes. Furthermore, the vibrations are transmitted to interior rods, causing a target rod in the interior region to rotate about, and translate along, the longitudinal axis of the target rod. The target rod undergoes stick-slip motion relative to adjacent rods.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2017Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventor: Benjamin Peters
