  • Patent number: 11962617
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for cross-channel network security with tiered adaptive mitigation operations. In this regard, the invention is structured for dynamic detection of security events associated with network devices and resources, and triggering real-time mitigation operations across a plurality of resource channels. The invention provides a novel method for employing activity data to construct and implement mitigation actions for de-escalating authorization tiers that are adapted to the specific attributes of the activity data, in order to prevent security exposure associated with the activity. Another aspect of the invention is directed to determining whether to continue the tiered adaptive mitigation actions and/or trigger a security proceed signal.

  • Publication number: 20210311298
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an optical device, such as an eyepiece, including multiple layers of waveguides. The optical device can include an edge sealant for reducing light contamination, a lamination darn to restrict the wicking of the edge sealant between layers of the optical device, and venting gap (s) in the sealant and darn to allow air flow between the exterior and interior of the eyepiece. The gap(s) allow outgassing from the interior of the eyepiece of unreacted polymer and/or accumulated moisture, to prevent defect accumulation caused by chemical reaction of outgassed chemicals with the (e.g., ionic, acidic, etc.) surface of the eyepiece layers. The gap(s) also prevent pressure differences which may physically deform the eyepiece over time.

  • Patent number: 11097937
    Abstract: An ordering app running on a mobile device, one or more central servers, one or more venue servers, one or more ordering apps, plug-ins, kiosks, point of sale systems, beacons, pucks, tents, and automated appliances cooperate to prepare orders for a customer. Methods embodied as software programs running on the venue servers and the central servers advance the customer's order through various modules hosted on the venue server. A final module causes the customer's order to be prepared.

  • Patent number: 11080101
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to processing a control stream such as a compute control stream. In some embodiments, the control stream includes kernels and commands for multiple substreams. In some embodiments, multiple substream processors are each configured to: fetch and parse portions of the control stream corresponding to an assigned substream and, in response to a neighbor barrier command in the assigned substream that identifies another substream, communicate the identified other substream to a barrier clearing circuitry. In some embodiments, the barrier clearing circuitry is configured to determine whether to allow the assigned substream to proceed past the neighbor barrier command based on communication of a most-recently-completed command from a substream processor to which the other substream is assigned (e.g., based on whether the most-recently-completed command meets a command identifier communicated in the neighbor barrier command).

  • Patent number: 10373223
    Abstract: A system for enabling the remote ordering of products, primarily for use in a multi-vendor system, is disclosed. Orders are placed remotely, such as through wireless devices connected to a central server. The central server, in turn, is in communication (wireless or otherwise) with a server located at one or more venues within the organization operating the system. The one or more venues provide products or services available for ordering through the system. Where multiple venues are involved, the system is designed to handle differences in the product or service availability at those different venues, and provides for an ability to make corrections to orders that may be or may become necessary on account of those differences. The system provides for multiple options through which users can pay for and receive orders, and also provides methods for synchronizing the remote ordering system with pre-existing, conventional methods of ordering and product/service order fulfillment.

  • Patent number: 10323877
    Abstract: Handling and storage of beer kegs in walk-in coolers used in the food/beverage industry. The invention utilizes a track system with an electric hoist to lift and stack kegs anywhere within the defined beer cooler. The invention is designed to optimize the keg storage footprint and better organize keg rotation. With the optional digital scale, the end user can take the guess work out of calculating partial kegs for precise inventory control.

  • Patent number: 10286740
    Abstract: Expandable light towers suitable for mounting to a mobile unit, and methods for their use. Such an expandable light tower includes a telescoping assembly comprising first and second telescoping units. The second telescoping unit is telescopically received in the first telescoping unit to configure the expandable light tower to have retracted and extended configurations. The light tower further includes a light-mounting assembly mounted to the second telescoping unit and a mounting assembly coupled to the first telescoping unit and adapted to mount the telescoping assembly to a hitch of a mobile unit. The mounting assembly enables the telescoping assembly to pivot about a transverse axis.
