Patent number: 12001525Abstract: A computer implemented method is disclosed for obfuscating an algorithm. The computer-implemented method includes (1) receiving ciphertext input data, and (2) executing obfuscated program instructions using the ciphertext input data and an obfuscation key. The ciphertext input data is based on plaintext input data encrypted using an input encryption key. The obfuscated program instructions are configured for concealing initial program instructions. The initial program instructions are configured for (1) receiving the plaintext input data, (2) providing plaintext output data based on an algorithm, and (3) providing ciphertext output data. The ciphertext output data is configured for decryption to provide the plaintext output data.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2022Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: GSFM LLCInventors: Francois Jacques Malassenet, Glenn Daniel Sidle

Patent number: 9596960Abstract: A toothbrush holder enclosure is provided which includes a three parts: a back plate, a resilient clamp and a front cover. The back plate and front cover form a housing. The clamp part has an inverted “U” shape and is made of a resilient material giving it a springy property. The clamp is shaped to urge two clamp arms towards one another in order for the clamp to grip a toothbrush. Two rollers at the tips of the clamp arms engage a toothbrush head inserted in the clamp as the clamp is spread apart from the clamped position to a deviated state. With the toothbrush inserted, the rollers exert pressure on a neck of the toothbrush to hold the toothbrush fast in place. The rolling engagement action of the rollers permits gripping toothbrushes having heads fitted with rubber sides.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2016Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: MAXOR INC.Inventors: Claude Mauffette, Jean-François Jacques, Denis Lamothe, Jean Lamothe, Pierre Halmai

Publication number: 20130192610Abstract: A sealing apparatus for an anatomical part comprises a support collar that comprising an annular body. An elastic sealing membrane is positioned within the support collar. The sealing membrane defines an annular sealed chamber having a given inner diameter in a natural state of the elastic material. A port in the sealing apparatus is in fluid communication with the chamber. The port is adapted to be in fluid communication with a device for reducing pressure in the chamber to increase the given inner diameter of the chamber in a collapsed state, so that an anatomical part may be inserted into the sealing apparatus. A sealing apparatus and accessories are also provided, as is a method for sealing an anatomical part in an inner cavity of an accessory.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2011Publication date: August 1, 2013Applicants: CENTRE HOSPITALIER DE L'UNIVERSITE DE MONTREAL, UNIVERSITE DE MONTREALInventors: Emilie Gagnon, Christian Lemieux, Jean-François Jacques, Robert McNabb
