Patent number: 11900742Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for dynamically operating a peripheral component of a gun, such as a flashlight, an electronic sight, or a haptic motor. The gun may perform an authentication procedure to identify a user operating the gun, retrieve a configuration file from memory housed in the gun in response to the authentication procedure, and perform a function at the peripheral component based on the configuration file indicating that the function is to be performed for the user. The gun may collect authentication data, such as biometric data or token data, and the gun may identify the user operating the gun based on the authentication data. The user operating the gun may be identified in response to matching the collected authentication data to authentication data stored in the memory, and the gun may determine the function based on the configuration file indicating the function for the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Biofire Technologies Inc.Inventors: Kai Thorin Kloepfer, Bryan Edward Rogers, Christopher James Owens, Jack Hugo Thiesen, Benjamin William Dwyer, Donna Kelley, Timothy Joel Thorson

Patent number: 11892254Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for authenticating a user at gun. The gun may include an authentication manager capable of implementing logic, processing signals, or executing instructions. The authentication manager may receive first query data from a first authentication sensor of the gun, receive second query data from a second authentication sensor of the gun, perform an authentication procedure to determine whether the first query data or the second query data matches enrollment data, where a match is determined based on the first query data or the second query data and the enrollment data satisfying a similarity threshold. The authentication manager may determine that the user is authorized to operate the gun and transmit a signal in response to the determining that the user is authorized to operate the gun. The signal may cause the gun to enter an active state which allows the gun to be fired.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Biofire Technologies Inc.Inventors: Kai Thorin Kloepfer, Bryan Edward Rogers, Donna Kelley, Jack Hugo Thiesen, Timothy Joel Thorson, Christopher James Owens

Publication number: 20240017907Abstract: An insulating device can include an opening having a waterproof closure which allows access to a storage compartment within the insulating device. The closure can help prevent any fluid leakage into and out of the insulating device if the insulating device is overturned or in any configuration other than upright. The closure may also prevent any fluid from permeating into the chamber if the insulating device is exposed to precipitation, other fluid, or submersed under water. This construction results in an insulating chamber that is substantially impervious to water and other liquids when the closure is sealed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Ryan Nixon, Mark D. Miller, Derek G. Sullivan, Kyle Edward Rogers, John Warren Dow, Jenny Huynh, Donald Edward Desroches, Chris Franks

Publication number: 20240002133Abstract: An insulating device can include a body assembly and a lid assembly where an insulating layer is connected to both the body assembly and the lid assembly. An aperture with a closure is formed between the body assembly and lid assembly to form a storage compartment. An insulating tab may be formed from a portion of the insulating layer and an inner liner of the body assembly to help insulate the closure region. In addition, a first magnetic element may be secured within the insulating tab that may engage a second magnetic element secured within the lid assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Kyle Edward Rogers, Jeffrey Charles Munie, John Loudenslager
