  • Publication number: 20220247743
    Abstract: A limited input device, such as a camera, is authenticated based on a request received from an authenticated application. The camera provides an authorization code to the authenticated application and receives an access token. The access token is associated with a user account. The access token is received based on a verification of the authorization code. The camera transmits one or more images associated with the user account to the first device based on the verification.

  • Patent number: 11329984
    Abstract: A limited input device, such as a camera, is authenticated based on a request received from an authenticated application. The application can request an application server to provide the application with a one-time authorization code. The request includes the device identifier associated with the camera. The server stores an association between the one-time authorization code and the device identifier of the camera, and provides the application with the one-time authorization code. The application provides the camera with the one-time authorization code. The camera transmits a request for an access token to the server, the request for the access token including the one-time authorization code and the device identifier associated with the camera. The server verifies the device identifier associated with the camera with that associated with the one-time authorization code, and upon a positive verification authenticates the camera by providing the camera with the access token.

  • Publication number: 20080009571
    Abstract: A molding composition has a bulk resin component formed from: a) 5 to 93 percent by weight of cycloaliphatic polyester resin such as poly(1,4-cyclohexane-dimethanol-1,4-dicarboxylate having a melt viscosity of at least 6000 poise; b) 5 to 93 percent by weight of an acrylate polymer or co-polymer; and c) 2 to 30 percent by weight of an impact modifier with a a shell comprising a repeating units derived from a C1-12 alkyl(meth)acrylate and a rubbery core having weatherability properties. The composition may further include a polycarbonate polymer or a styrene-acrylonitrile polymer as a phase compatabilizer as well as other conventional additives such as pigments, mineral fillers, antioxidants and the like. The composition has improved ductility, impact strength and weatherability.

  • Publication number: 20070091296
    Abstract: An article includes a colorant system which may be assessed for authenticity by assessing the visual color of a part and comparing the visual color of the authorized specific color to see if there is a color match and measuring a non-visible electromagnetic reflectance spectrum or portion thereof of the said part and comparing it to the authorized non-visible electromagnetic reflectance spectrum or portion thereof to see if there is an appropriate reflectance match.
