Patent number: 11954203Abstract: Methods and devices for determining whether a mobile device has been compromised. The mobile device has a managed portion of memory and an unmanaged portion of memory, a managed profile and an unmanaged profile, and the managed profile includes files stored in the managed portion of memory and the unmanaged profile includes files stored in the unmanaged portion of memory. The managed profile is governed by a device policy set by a remote administrator. File tree structure information for the unmanaged profile of the mobile device is obtained that details at least a portion of a tree-based structure of folders and files in the unmanaged portion of memory. It is determined from the file tree structure information that the mobile device has been compromised and, based on that determination, an action is taken.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Chang Fung Yang, Robert Joseph Lombardi, Chi Hing Ng, Johnathan George White

Patent number: 11928011Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for enhanced drift remediation with causal methods and online model modification are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: detect drift in an Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) model configured to make a prediction or a causal reasoning graphical or structural inference based upon input data, identify a root cause of the drift, and tag the input data with an indication of the root cause.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Dell Products, L.P.Inventors: Said Tabet, Jeffery White, George Currie, Xin Ma

Patent number: 11918273Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a hollow cable for transmitting radiofrequency and/or microwave frequency energy to an electrosurgical instrument, wherein the hollow cable is provided with electrical connectors for forming a bipolar electrical connection with an electrosurgical instrument that fits within, e.g. slides relative to, the hollow cable. The connectors can be conductive protrusions extending in an axial direction on opposite sides of the cable. The protrusions can be tabs, fins, rods, pins, or wires. The protrusions can be strips which engage corresponding terminals on the instrument. The transmission line structure of the invention can have a greater diameter then convention coaxial cables, which can minimise loss whilst still providing access for control wires and/or fluid to reach an surgical instrument. The cable can be used with multiple instruments.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: CREO MEDICAL LIMITEDInventors: Christopher Paul Hancock, Malcolm White, George Christian Ullrich, David Edward Webb, Louis Turner

Publication number: 20240068558Abstract: Magnetically-assisted mechanical gear systems and other power transmission systems, and related methods of operation and assembly, are disclosed herein. In an example embodiment, such a system includes a driving gear, a driven gear, and a first magnetomotive force (MMF) source that generates a magnetic flux. A first portion of the flux is communicated between at least one driving gear teeth and at least one driven gear teeth so that one or more magnetic forces are exerted between the gears. When the first rotational movement of the driving gear alternates from being in the first rotational direction to being in a third rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction, then the driven gear is driven by the one or more magnetic forces so that the second rotational movement also alternates, and a first amount of backlash movement between the driving and driven gears is avoided or reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Adam Michael White, Joseph Michael Stock, Joshua Max Jones, Waleed Said, Nicholas Shaun Palmer, David George Kloos

Publication number: 20230224307Abstract: Methods and devices for determining whether a mobile device has been compromised. File tree structure information for the mobile device is obtained that details at least a portion of a tree-based structure of folders and files in a portion of memory. The file tree structure information is analyzed to determine that the mobile device has been compromised, has not been compromised, or might be compromised. Based on determining that the mobile device might be compromised, the mobile device is instructed to execute a restricted action. If the restricted action occurs on the mobile device then it is determined that the mobile device has been compromised. Based on that determination, an action is taken.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Applicant: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Chang Fung YANG, Robert Joseph LOMBARDI, Chi Hing NG, Johnathan George WHITE

Patent number: 11272697Abstract: The fishing rod holder with strike indicator is a free-standing fishing strike indicating device. The fishing rod holder with strike indicator is a stand which holds the fishing rod. The fishing rod holder with strike indicator allows for the adjustment of the cant between the fishing rod and the ground. The adjustment of the cant allows for the adjustment of the angle of attack between the fishing line and the water. The fishing rod holder with strike indicator comprises a tripod, a pedestal, and a control circuit. The pedestal mounts on the tripod. The control circuit is contained within the tripod. The tripod is a supporting structure that adjusts the elevation of the pedestal relative to the ground. The fishing rod mounts on the pedestal. The control circuit detects when a fish has struck the fishing line and generates a visible alarm and an audible alarm.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2019Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Inventors: Frank White, George White

Patent number: 11240026Abstract: Devices and methods of managing data stored within a container. The container may be associated with at least one registered user. The data within the container may be encrypted by a data encryption key (DEK). A computing device includes: a security module including a crypto-processor, a main processor, and memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, configure a processor to: authenticate a user based on a user secret associated with the container and generate a soft key based on the user secret. The instructions cause a crypto-processor to generate a secure generator output including a crypto key component and generate a hardened user key based on a key agreement protocol using the soft key and the crypto key component. The instructions cause a processor to construct an unencrypted DEK associated with the hardened user key and decrypt the subset of data using the unencrypted DEK.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Johnathan George White, Daniel Richard L.

Publication number: 20220005262Abstract: An augmented reality boating and fishing system includes a client device comprising a client application, a computing system comprising a server-based application and a database datastore comprising topobathy data that are presented as data elevation model (DEM) data of a water body. The client application accesses the server-based application and the database datastore via a network connection. The server-based application includes an augmented reality (AR) engine, a computing algorithm, and a rendering engine. The AR engine receives the DEM data of the water body and environmental factor inputs and uses the computing algorithm to calculate fish probability distributions of various types of fish within the water body. The rendering engine fuses the calculated fish probability distributions and DEM data and generates an AR composite image that is viewed via the client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2021Publication date: January 6, 2022Applicant: Clearview, Inc.Inventors: JOSHUA HONAKER, CHRIS MCROBBIE, DAVID ROSE, GEORGE WHITE, JOSHUA JACOBS, MADELEINE FOUGERE, MICHAEL LEONARDO
