Patent number: 10938554Abstract: Managing private key access in multiple nodes is described. A piece of data (e.g., a private key) is encrypted using identity-based broadcast encryption and identity-based revocation encryption so that only certain servers in a distributed network of servers can decrypt the piece of data. The piece of data is encrypted with a key encryption key (KEK). The KEK is split into two pieces. The first piece is encrypted using identity-based broadcast encryption with a first set of identities as input such that only servers of the first set of identities can decrypt the first piece, and the second piece is encrypted using identity-based revocation encryption so that all servers except those that have the second set of identities can decrypt the second piece. The keys are transmitted to the servers.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: CLOUDFLARE, INC.Inventors: Nicholas Thomas Sullivan, Brendan Scott McMillion

Patent number: 10792593Abstract: A method for removing gas from a froth by supplying at least a portion of the froth from a vessel into a housing, providing a flow of fluid through the housing, introducing the froth into the fluid such that at least a portion of the gas in the froth is removed from the froth and entrained in the fluid to form a mixture of fluid and entrained gas and subsequently delivering the mixture to the vessel and/or another location within a processing circuit.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2017Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: GLENCORE TECHNOLOGY PTY LTDInventors: Peter Woodall, Daniel Smith, Brendan Scott Smith

Publication number: 20190390509Abstract: A smart pet door system embodying a biometrically-controlled pet door is provided. The pet door provides sensors and data capture devices such as image capture devices and microphones along an external door frame for capturing biometric data for authentication of predetermined pet(s) prior to electrically moving the pet door from a locked condition to an unlocked condition by way of a biometric modality. The biometric modality may be coupled to a remote computing device. The biometric modality is adapted to analyze and identify peripheral data beyond that of the predetermined pet(s), thereby maintaining a locked condition upon identifying threats conveyed by the peripheral data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2019Publication date: December 26, 2019Inventor: Brendan Scott Chatterton

Patent number: 5922327Abstract: Equine rhinopneumonitis and equine abortion are horse diseases caused by two distinct but antigenically related viruses designated as equine herpes virus 4 (EHV4) and equine herpes virus 1 (EHV1). Glycoprotein G (gG) epitopes of EHV1 and EHV4 of this invention allow for accurate, type-specific diagnosis of the infections despite extensive antigenic cross-reactivity between the two viruses.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 1995Date of Patent: July 13, 1999Assignee: The University of MelbourneInventors: Brendan Scott Crabb, Michael Justin Studdert
