  • Patent number: 10010707
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a low-profile system and methods for delivering a microneedle array. The delivery system includes a housing that may be secured to and temporarily worn on a patient's skin. A carrier assembly coupled to a microneedle array is received in the housing proximate an applicator device.

  • Patent number: 9559851
    Abstract: Technologies for securely pairing a first computing device with a second computing device include the first computing device to generate a session message key based on a key exchange with the second computing device. The first computing device receives a message including a hardware key certificate, 5 a cryptographically-signed communication, and a message authentication code from the second computing device. The cryptographically-signed communication is signed with a private hardware key of the second computing device. The first computing device validates the message authentication code, the certificate, and the signature received from the second computing device. After validation, the first computing device 10 identifies a user of the second computing device based on user-identifying data received from the second computing device.

  • Publication number: 20140236090
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides low-profile systems and methods for delivering a microneedle array. A delivery system includes a housing that may be secured to and temporarily worn on a patient's skin. A carrier assembly coupled to a microneedle array is received in the housing proximate a stored energy device. The stored energy device can be designed to store a predetermined amount of potential energy that is greater or substantially greater than the energy necessary to release said energy. As the stored energy device is potentially capable of releasing substantially more energy than is required to cause the release, the amount of normal force applied to the skin can be minimized while sufficient application velocity is still generated.

  • Patent number: 8762991
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the invention involves a framework for using virtualization technology to efficiently support a domain-specific run-time environment. In at least one embodiment, a framework is utilized to take advantage of virtualization technology (VT) to partition performance critical and non-performance critical tasks of the same domain-specific application. An embodiment of the invention utilizes a general-purpose operating system to execute non-performance critical aspects of a domain, and uses a privileged VT-root mode to execute performance critical aspects of the domain. Another embodiment uses one or more guest VMs to execute the performance critical aspects of the domain-specific run-time environment. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20140096180
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for proximity-based parental controls include a dominant computing device and a subordinate computing device configured to pair and establish a shared secret. Later, upon determining that the dominant computing device and the subordinate computing device are in proximity, the dominant computing device authenticates the subordinate computing device using the shared secret and authorizes access to an application on the subordinate computing device. The dominant computing device may configure an access control policy associated with the application. The access control policy may define allowed usage time, allowed usage time of day, allowed content, and/or other parameters. The subordinate computing device may enforce the access control policy. The application on the subordinate computing device may be a user interface shell, a game, a web browser, a particular web site, or other application. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 8561178
    Abstract: In general, in one aspect, an interface chipset includes at least one interface to receive user commands from input devices, filters to monitor the received user commands and to copy the user commands associated with at least a subset of the input devices, and an isolated execution environment. The isolated execution environment is to provide a secure communication link between an on-line application and a remote service provider. The isolated execution environment is also to detect at least some subset of user command modifications, on-line application code modifications, and on-line application process flow modifications. The isolated execution environment is further to notify the remote service provider when a modification is detected via the secure communication link.

  • Publication number: 20130174055
    Abstract: The disclosed CONTENT RELATED VIEWER VOTING APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“CRVV”) transform requests for votes in displayed consumable media via CRVV components into rewards for voter recruiting through social networking. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes: receiving a request to vote in a content-related electronic voting opportunity from a user; providing, a voting opportunity page having at least one voting question and an expiration time; recording a content-related vote; providing a single-click opportunity to share the content-related vote and the voting opportunity via a social network; generating a social vote post message; receiving a vote from a peer of the user who accessed the social vote post message; and correlating the vote of the peer with the recorded content-related vote, to create a recruited vote total attributable to the user for each voting question.
