Patent number: 11899759Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that authenticate user identities based on input/sensor data received from remote workstations and/or during remote communication sessions. The input/sensor data may correspond to timing and patterns from which user identities may be authenticated. Some implementations disclosed herein communicate input/sensor data in a way that preserves the timing and pattern information of the data and/or in a way that allows such information to be used for authentication in real-time. Some implementations enable continuous provision of input/sensor data and/or enable continuous authentication of user identities during remote communication sessions.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: PLURILOCK SECURITY SOLUTIONS INC.Inventors: Youssef Nakkabi, Paulo Quinan, Jord Tanner, Ian Paterson

Publication number: 20220311792Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that facilitate the identification of perpetrators behind insider attacks. Some implementations provide a forensic analysis tool capable of performing in-depth investigations of intrusion incidents with the goal of exposing evidence that leads to attack attributions.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Inventors: Youssef Nakkabi, Paulo Quinan, Jord Tanner, Ian Paterson

Patent number: 9334088Abstract: A dispensing device for a multi-component composition comprises a plurality of collapsible bag compartments (109, 110) located within a housing (101). The compartments extend adjacent each other and have cross-sectional areas that are proportional to an intended volume mixing ratio for the multi-component composition. Each compartment has an opening (123) that communicates with a device outlet at one end of the housing, and an opposite, sealed end that is exposed to pressure from a compression device (103). The compression device acts to collapse the compartments and dispenses the components through the device outlet. The components have different viscosities. The chamber of a less viscous component has a flow control regulator (111) to compensate for extra pressure exerted on that compartment by an adjacent compartment containing a more viscous component.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2011Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: 2K POLYMER SYSTEMS LIMITEDInventors: Spencer Robinson, Paul Devonport, Neil David Burdett, Alistair Jerome Richard Little, Robert Ian Paterson

Patent number: 8949792Abstract: Development of data services can be enhanced through the use of methods and systems that automate aspects of the build process. Particularly, software can be used to automatically generate test cases and incorporate test results into documentation as part of the build process based on an updated Application Programming Interface (API) specification to generate up-to-date and accurate Software Development Kit (SDK) artifacts. A method can comprise accessing data defining an API for a data service, such as Web Application Description Language (WADL) or Web Service Description Language (WSDL) data. The method can further comprise identifying a test case for a service call that can be made via the API based on the data defining the API, and generating test code, the test code configured to evaluate the test case by making the service call. The test code can be used for evaluating the test case(s) in order to ensure requests and/or responses are consistent with the API definition.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2009Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Ian Paterson, Richard McMahon, James Boag

Patent number: 6443238Abstract: A cavity wall which is usually made with a hollow concrete block as the inner wythe and brick as the outer wythe is disclosed. A special purpose insertion tool is fitted to a standard hammer tool. A center pin is provided in the insertion tool made with an indent to match the pointed end of the tie. The pin is then pressed into the SDS fitting which is the connection into the drill. The tie end is supported by a short sleeve which, when it contacts the face of the wall, retracts against a spring until the tie driving is completed. A modified embodiment of the adapter recognizes that the tie when activated by the hammer invariably rotates clockwise. Accordingly, if the spring is wound clockwise, the bottom tail end will dig into its seat. On the other hand, if it is wound counterclockwise, it rotates in a “tail skid” relationship to the seat.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2001Date of Patent: September 3, 2002Assignee: Helifix LimitedInventors: Robert Ian Paterson, Brian Alan Breeze

Patent number: 6311785Abstract: A helical wedge tie, anywhere from 2½ inches to 4 inches in length, (which is approximately the width of a standard brick), can be utilized to wedgingly engage the mortar in a wall after a helical main tie has been passed all the way through the mortar and secured in the concrete. The wedge tie may have the same helical pitch as that of the main tie, or it may be a pitch somewhat tighter or shorter to not only fill the space between the host tie and the mortar, but wedgingly engage the same. The auxiliary wedge pin may be pointed at both ends, pointed at one end, or even blunt at both ends. Successful fixes have been made where one end is sheared, and has a relatively chisel-like end. The method of the invention is directed to the reinforcing of a tie in a wall reinforcing environment, where the outer portion of the tie passes through a softer material, and a subsequent reinforcement of the tie portion in the soft material becomes desirable.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1998Date of Patent: November 6, 2001Assignee: Helifix LimitedInventors: Robert Ian Paterson, Brian Alan Breeze
