Patents by Inventor Chris Thayer

Chris Thayer has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10938144
    Abstract: An electro-mechanical connection is of the type of a “hot stab” connection. The connection also includes a jagged surface in the form of a scraper, which is capable of cutting through a deposit that could otherwise excessively increase the electrical resistance across the connection. The connection can be used underwater and installed by a diver or ROV, for example, for connecting cathodic protection to a subsea structure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 2, 2021
    Assignee: DEEPWATER CORROSION SERVICES, INC.
    Inventors: William R. Bath, Chris Thayer, Matthew Taylor
  • Patent number: 10697984
    Abstract: The invention features a method of monitoring a clotting process by measuring a signal characteristic of the NMR relaxation of water in a sample undergoing clotting to produce NMR relaxation data and determining from the NMR relaxation data a magnetic resonance parameter of water in the sample characteristic of the clots being formed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 30, 2020
    Assignee: T2 Biosystems, Inc.
    Inventors: Thomas Jay Lowery, Jr., Vyacheslav Papkov, Walter W. Massefski, Jr., Rahul K. Dhanda, Edward Chris Thayer
  • Patent number: 10671708
    Abstract: The improved detection of malicious processes executing on a networked computing device is provided. An agent running on the networked computing device monitors the communications transmitted to devices outside of the network to determine whether the process is likely using a periodic beacon signal to communicate with an external control center associated with a potentially malicious party. The agent maintains a dictionary data structure of objects, identifiable by the process identifier and the remote device's address, to track a given process/destination group's communication history. The communication history is updated when new messages are identified for periodic patterns to be identified for the messages, which may be used to identify a process as potentially malicious.
