Patent number: 11973762Abstract: When a system tries to access a network (e.g., another system, an application, data, or the like) at least two-factor authentication may be used to validate the system. At least one authentication factor may include utilizing authentication credentials of the entity or system accessing the network. At least a second authentication factor may include using an environment hash of the system, which is a representation of the configuration (e.g., hardware, software, or the like) on the system trying to access the network. The environment hash may be compared to hash requirements (e.g., authorized environment hashes, unauthorized environment hashes, or the like) to aid in the validation. The system may only access the network when both the authentication credentials and the environment hashes meet requirements.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: George Albero, Elijah Clark, Scot Lincoln Daniels, Emanuel David Guller, Konata Stinson, Rick Wayne Sumrall, Jake Michael Yara

Patent number: 11950607Abstract: Provided is a food composition which include a myceliated high-protein food product and methods to make such compositions, which are mixtures of myceliated high-protein food products and other edible materials. A food composition includes dairy alternative products, ready to mix beverages and beverage bases; extruded and extruded/puffed products; sheeted baked goods; meat analogs and extenders; baked goods and baking mixes; granola; and soups/soup bases. Food compositions also include texturized plant protein which can be used for making meat-structured plant protein meat analog or meat extender products. The food compositions have reduced undesirable flavors and reduced undesirable aromas due to use of myceliated high-protein food products as compared to use of similar high-protein material that is not myceliated.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: MYCOTECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Lisa Smith, Todd McDonald, Savita Jensen, Joseph George Akamittath, Alan D.

Patent number: 11955116Abstract: Content is organized for brands by selecting a plurality of brand templates. After each selection, a set of properties is generated by applying a portion of settings of the respective brand template, with the remaining settings being overridden with settings for a channel communicating one of a plurality of presentations to a node of a network involved in the communication. The plurality of presentations may include different renditions of the same content. The properties may include sections configured for different focus areas and/or types of content associated with at tags to enable brand-level-targeting. Filters may be identified in the properties. Based on each of the identifications, a property from among the generated sets of properties may be selected based on comparisons with the associated tags.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Aaron Miller, Jason D. Justman, Lora Clark Bouchard, Michael Ellery Bouchard, Kevin James Cotlove, Mathew Keith Gitchell, Stacia Lynn Haisch, Jonathan David Kersten, Matthew Karl Marchio, Peter Arthur Pulliam, George Allen Smith, Todd Christopher Tibbetts

Patent number: 11948157Abstract: Arrangements for detecting anomalies and dynamically generating a response are presented. In some examples, attribute data including a plurality of source elements may be received. The source element data may be received from a plurality of source computing systems. The attribute data, including the source element data, may be analyzed using machine learning techniques to identify any anomalies in the attribute data. If an anomaly is detected, a notification may be generated including data associated with the anomaly, a user associated with the anomaly and the like. The notification may be transmitted to a computing device for display. In some examples, if an anomaly is detected, data associated with the anomaly may be compared to pre-stored rules to determine whether a pre-stored rule applies to the identified anomaly. If a pre-stored rule applies, an instruction or command may be generated and transmitted to one or more source computing devices or systems.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: George Albero, Elijah Clark

Publication number: 20240073026Abstract: A system is provided for partitioning digital resources using a networked resource platform. In particular, the system may generate digital resources using a customized set of executable code such that each digital resource may comprise one or more digital resource partitions. Each digital resource share may be associated with a cryptographic address. Upon receiving a request from a user to transfer the digital resource partitions, the system may execute various validation checks on the cryptographic address and the digital resource before executing the transfer. In this way, the system provides an efficient way to partition and transfer digital resources.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: George Anthony Albero, Maharaj Mukherjee, Olivia Riley Sommer, Elijah Clark

Patent number: 10605847Abstract: A verification procedure is performed when a tracking device is newly installed in a vehicle. The procedure involves transmitting a command to the tracking device to either disable or enable the vehicle starter. The installer is then prompted to engage the starter to start the vehicle. The tracking device then monitors the voltages on the vehicle's ignition wire and starter disable and starter enable wires going to a starter relay. The tracking device also monitors the state of a starter relay control wire. Measurement of the proper voltages on these wires provides verification that the tracking device has been connected properly. Continuing to monitor these voltages after installation provides an indication when a driver engages the starter in an attempt to start the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2019Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Spireon, Inc.Inventors: Steve Ollmann, Michael Callinan, Charles F.

Patent number: 10232188Abstract: A medical apparatus operable to induce localized hyperthermia in a patient via an electromagnetic field emitted by an antenna of an applicator connected to an output of the medical apparatus includes a signal generator, a bidirectional coupler, and a controller. The signal generator generates a radio frequency signal as a function of an operating parameter to a single cable to an applicator. The bidirectional coupler provides the radio frequency signal generated by the signal generator to the output and receives a reflected signal from the output at the applicator. First and second low pass filters isolate the radio frequency signal and reflected signal from a temperature sensing signal transmitted via the single cable to at least one temperature sensor of the applicator.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2016Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: Thermofield Inc.Inventors: Thomas Otten, George Clark
