  • ALLOWING ACCESS TO FALSE DATA
    Publication number: 20180054461
    Abstract: In one aspect, a device includes a processor and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to determine that an attempt has occurred of unauthorized access to a computer system having a computer interface for presentation to an authorized user. The instructions are also executable to, responsive to determining that an attempt has occurred of unauthorized access to the computer system, return from the computer system a proxy interface instead of the computer interface, the proxy interface permitting access to at least partially falsified data.

  • Quick-release ball-and-socket joint camera mount
    Patent number: 9880451
    Abstract: A camera mounting system has an upper mount component, a lower mount component, and a base mount component. The upper mount component secures the camera and has a ball protrusion that reciprocally couples with a socket of the lower mount component. The upper mount component can rotate 360 degrees relative to the lower mount, and can pivot 90 degrees or more relative to the lower mount component. The lower mount component couples with the base mount component in a plurality of orientations. This camera mounting system allows for a large range of motion for the camera relative to the mounting system.

  • Swivel Wrist Mount
    Publication number: 20170090273
    Abstract: A camera mount for coupling a camera to a user's wrist is described. The camera mount includes a swivel component that rotates relative to a wrist component when an above-threshold amount of force is applied on the swivel component. A rippled spring component is coupled between the swivel component and the wrist component, and exerts an outward force upon the swivel component in response to a compressive force exerted on the rippled spring component by the swivel component. A strap couples to each of two sides of the wrist mount component, and is configured to secure the camera mount to the user's wrist. The camera mount can additionally include a base component and a padding component, and a screw to couple each camera mount component together.
