Publication number: 20240146525Abstract: A system, method and apparatus to control memory devices over computer networks. For example, a server system establishes a secure authenticated connection with a client computer system to receive a request having a batch identification that is configured in the server system to identify a batch of multiple memory devices. After determining that the client computer system is eligible to control the multiple memory devices in the batch, the server system transmits to the client computer system a response. The response contains control data for each respective memory device in the batch. The control data is based on at least a cryptographic key stored in the server system in association with the respective memory device. Using the control data the client computer system submits a command with a digital signature to the respective memory device, which validates the digital signature prior to execution of the command.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Travis Duane Nelson, Lance W.

Publication number: 20220231838Abstract: A system, method and apparatus to control memory devices over computer networks. For example, the system includes a first computer system and a second computer system. The second computer system manages cryptographic key; and the first computer system controls access to the second computer system. After establishing a secure authenticated connection between the first computer system and a client computer system, the client computer system may submit a request about a memory device. If the first computer system determines that that the client computer system is eligible to operate or control the memory device, the first computer system communicate with the second computer system to generate a response to the request using at least a cryptographic key stored in the second computer system in association with an unique identification of the memory device, without the cryptographic key being transmitted to outside of the second computer system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2021Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventor: Travis Duane Nelson

Patent number: 10563283Abstract: Materials and methods for precious metal recovery are disclosed. Usable leaching solutions are preferably aqueous based and include appropriate materials in sufficient quantities to solubilize and stabilize precious metal. Such materials typically include oxidant material. Some or all of the oxidant material can be, in some instances, generated in-situ. The leaching solution is typically contacted with a substrate having a target precious metal, thereby solubilizing precious metal to form a stable, pregnant solution. The precious metal can then be recovered from the pregnant solution. In some instances, components of the leaching solution can be regenerated and reused in subsequent leaching.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Enviroleach Technologies Inc.Inventors: Duane Nelson, Steve Scott, Mohammad Doostmohammadi, Hanif Jafari
