  • Patent number: 12285177
    Abstract: A method and device for reducing the damaging effects of a blast or concussive event includes applying pressure to at least one jugular vein to reduce the egress of blood from the cranial cavity during the incidence of the concussive event. Reducing blood out flow from the cranial cavity increases intracranial pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid to reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury and injuries to the spinal column. Reducing blood out flow further increases the intracranial pressure, and thereby increases the pressure of the cochlear fluid, the vitreous humor and the cerebrospinal fluid to thereby reduce the risk of injury to the inner ear, internal structure of the eye and of the spinal column. In addition, increasing intracranial pressure reduces the likelihood of brain injury and any associated loss of olfactory function.

  • Patent number: 12254050
    Abstract: A computer system for origin detection for webpage cookies loads a webpage. Loading the webpage causes a browser to store one or more cookies. The computer system creates a first cookie snapshot of the one or more cookies and a first initiator snapshot of one or more initiators for each cookie. The computer system then generates, from the first cookie snapshot and the first initiator snapshot, an initiator directed acyclic graph. Further, the computer system displays information, from the initiator directed acyclic graph, on a link between a particular cookie and a particular initiator.
