Patent number: 11949793Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to providing authentication and confidentiality mechanisms for message communication over an in-vehicle network. For example, authentication data associated with a communicating node may be transmitted over the network by encoding different predefined voltage levels on top of the message bits of the message being communicated. Different voltage levels may represent different encodings, such as a bit-pair or any bit combination of the authentication data. In a further example, messaging confidentiality between at least two communicating nodes may be achieved by pseudo-randomly flipping, or scrambling, the dominant and recessive voltages of the entire message frame at the analog level based on a pseudo-random control bit sequence.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Marcio Juliato, Shabbir Ahmed, Christopher Gutierrez, Xiruo Liu, Manoj Sastry, Liuyang Yang

Patent number: 11950101Abstract: An embodiment includes a method to increase the efficiency of security checkpoint operations. A security checkpoint kiosk serves as a Relying Party System (RPS). The RPS establishes a secure local connection between the RPS and a User Mobile-Identification-Credential Device (UMD). The RPS sends a user information request to the UMD, via the secure local connection, seeking release of user information associated with a Mobile Identification Credential (MIC). The RPS obtains authentication of the user information received in response to the user information request. The RPS retrieves user travel information based on the user information. The RPS determines that the user travel information matches the user information. When the user travel information matches the user information, the RPS approves the user to proceed past the security checkpoint kiosk.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Haya Iris Villanueva Gaviola, Gianpaolo Fasoli, Vinay Ganesh, Irene M.

Publication number: 20240081941Abstract: Ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive, non-radioactive, and low cost technology for diagnosis and identification of implantable medical devices in real time. Developing new ultrasound activated coatings is important to broaden the utility of in vivo marking by ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound responsive macro-phase segregated micro-composite thin films were developed to be coated on medical devices composed of multiple materials and with multiple shapes and varying surface area. The macro-phase segregated films having silica micro-shells in polycyanoacrylate produces strong color Doppler signals with the use of a standard clinical ultrasound transducer. Electron microscopy showed a macro-phase separation during slow curing of the cyanoacrylate adhesive, as air-filled silica micro-shells were driven to the surface of the film. The air sealed in the hollow space of the silica shells acted as an ultrasound contrast agent and echo decorrelation of air exposed to ultrasound waves produces color Doppler signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Jian Yang, Alexander Liberman, James Wang, Christopher Barback, Natalie Mendez, Erin Ward, Sarah Blair, Andrew C.
