Patent number: 11720665Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable medium for verifying interactions with digital components. The method includes receiving input indicating interaction associated with a digital component that is provided by a content provider and presented by a user interface of the user device, determining, by a trusted program of the user device, that the interaction is valid, generating, by the trusted program and based on the determination that the interaction is valid based on a validity evaluation, a digitally signed token that attests the validity of the interaction with the digital component, and providing, by the trusted program and to a third party, the digitally signed token as an indication of the validity of the interaction.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2020Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Gang Wang, Alex Daniel Jacobson

Publication number: 20230141428Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and techniques for using controlling access to user information using ephemeral user identifiers. In one aspect, a method includes determining, for a given domain, engagement by a user with content provided by the given domain for display by an application at a client device of the user. A determination is made, based on the engagement by the user, to extend, for the given domain, a linkage between user identifiers for a user of the application. In response to determining to extend, for the given domain, the linkage between the user identifiers for the user of the application, one or more future domain-specific ephemeral user identifiers for the user and the given domain are obtained. An attestation record that includes a current domain-specific ephemeral user identifier and the one or more is generated and sent to the given domain.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2021Publication date: May 11, 2023Inventors: Alex Daniel Jacobson, Gang Wang, Marcel M.

Publication number: 20230145800Abstract: Inventive techniques for forming unique compositions of matter are disclosed, as well as various advantageous physical characteristics, and associated properties of the resultant materials. In particular, metal(s) (including various alloys, such as Inconel superalloys) are characterized by having carbon disposed within the metal lattice structure thereof. The carbon is primarily, or entirely, present at interstitial sites of the metal lattice, and may be present in amounts ranging from about 15 wt % to about 90 wt %. The carbon, moreover, forms non-polar covalent bonds with both metal atoms of the lattice and other carbon atoms present in the lattice. This facilitates substantially homogeneous dispersal of the carbon throughout the resultant material, conveying unique and advantageous properties such as strength-to-weight ratio, density, mechanical toughness, sheer strength, flex strength, hardness, anti-corrosiveness, electrical and/or thermal conductivity, etc. as described herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: Lyten, Inc.Inventors: Michael Stowell, Lauren Sienko, Daniel Jacobson, Bruce Lanning

Patent number: 11599365Abstract: A technique includes a first compute node of a cluster of nodes receiving a communication from a cluster maintenance node of the cluster instructing the first compute node to provide an installation image that is received by the first compute node to a second compute node of the cluster. The first node and the second node are peers. The technique includes sharing the first installation stream that communicates the image to the first compute node. Sharing the first installation stream includes, while the first compute node is receiving the first installation stream, the first compute node providing a second installation stream to communicate parts of the image received via the first installation stream to the second compute node.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Erik Daniel Jacobson, Derek Lee Fults

The trusted program detects a phone call by the client device to a given phone number. The given phone number is compared to one or more presentation event data elements stored in the presentation event data structure. A determination is made that the given phone number matches the phone number specified by the digital component. In response, an event report is transmitted to the reporting system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2020Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventors: Gang Wang, Alex Daniel Jacobson

Publication number: 20220123944Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, to verify whether an interaction with a particular content displayed on a content platform is an interaction by an actual human user. A request to generate a click verification token can be received from a first application executing on a client device. The request can include data for a first set of parameters for a first interaction and a first message authentication code (MAC) set. If the first MAC set matches a second MAC set, which is generated using some of the data included in the request, the click verification token can be generated. The click verification token can be provided to the first application, which in turn can provide this token to a content verification system. The content verification can use this token to verify whether the first interaction is an actual human user interaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2020Publication date: April 21, 2022Inventors: Gang Wang, Sudhi P Herle, Giles Dominic Hogben, Alex Daniel Jacobson, Michael Wright, Nicholas N.

Publication number: 20220124393Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for detecting errors that can occur in third party content presentation and verifying that third party content provided by a content provider to a content platform is actually displayed and is visible to the user when the content platform is accessed on the client device. Methods can include receiving, from an application executing on a client device, a request to generate a digitally signed token that is used to validate whether a particular content item displayed at the particular portion of the display is a third party content item. A digital watermark embedded at the particular portion of the display can be extracted and decoded to obtain data for attributes that are descriptive of the particular content item. A digitally signed token can be generated using this data, and the token can then be provided to application.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2020Publication date: April 21, 2022Inventors: Gang Wang, Alex Daniel Jacobson
