  • Patent number: 10938820
    Abstract: A system includes a network adapter operable to interface with one or more computer networks. The system also includes a processing system operably coupled to the network adapter and configured to perform a plurality of operations. The operations include monitoring for a request to transfer data from a file including a self-destruction indicator, determining a targeted destination of the data based on detecting the request to transfer the data from the file including the self-destruction indicator, and determining whether the targeted destination is within an allowed network list associated with the file. The system prevents the transfer of data from the file to the targeted destination through the network adapter based on determining that the allowed network list excludes the targeted destination.

  • Patent number: 10353367
    Abstract: The disclosed hot cutover box creates an electronic virtual bypass around a terminal strip to which existing control system, new control system, and final control element connections may be made, thereby allowing migration from an existing to a new control system to take place. Sensors allow measurement of a current signal without disrupting electrical continuity and connectors allow the hot cutover box to be introduced to the circuit with no disruption to the controller output. Once the hot cutover box is in place, wiring connections can be removed from the terminal strip as the hot cutover box effectively provides a parallel current pathway around the terminal strip.

  • Patent number: 9156309
    Abstract: A method for producing designs involves receiving a request to create a design on the surface of an extraterrestrial body, transmitting a control signal to a device on a vehicle on the extraterrestrial body, the control signal causing the device to create the design, and receiving an image signal providing an image of the design created on the surface. A device for producing the designs includes a surface altering tool configured to rearrange material on the surface. The tool may be provided as a configurable-tread rover wheel that includes a wheel hub having radially-extending channels, and tread elements supported in the channels that are selectively articulatable under the control of a control module to form a tread pattern corresponding to a design intended to be produced. The tread elements may be selectively extended or retracted by operation of an array of solenoids controlled by the control module.
