Publication number: 20240137228Abstract: According to a first aspect disclosed herein there is provide a device comprising: a PUF module, and one or more outer layer components providing at least part of an unsecured channel for inputting a challenge to the PUF module and receiving back a response. Internal logic of the PUF module comprises a logging mechanism arranged to automatically log a record of the challenge and/or response in a log medium, e.g. a blockchain. According to a second aspect, there is provided a method comprising: sending a first message to be recorded on a blockchain, submitting a query to check that the first message has been recorded on the blockchain without manipulation, on condition thereof, sending a second messaging transaction to be recorded on the blockchain. The first and second aspects may be used together or independently.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Jack Owen DAVIES, Craig Steven WRIGHT

Patent number: 10650630Abstract: Methods are provided for authenticating a value article that includes a luminescent material. An exciting light source, an optical filter, a photodetector, a signal manipulation circuit, and an amplifier are provided. The luminescent material is exposed to light produced by the exciting light source. Radiation including light from the exciting light source and emitted radiation from the luminescent material is filtered using the optical filter to produce filtered radiation. The filtered radiation is detected using the photodetector to produce a detected radiation signal. The detected radiation signal is electronically manipulated using the signal manipulation circuit to reduce an effect of light from the exciting light source on an authentication determination based upon the detected radiation signal. The detected radiation signal is amplified with the amplifier after electronic manipulation to produce an amplified electronic signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2015Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: William Ross Rapoport, Chirag Patel, Jack Steven Croiter, Karl D. Nelson, Jeffrey James Kriz

Patent number: 8975598Abstract: Embodiments include methods and apparatus for identifying a thermographic phosphor (e.g., Er:YIG) incorporated on or within an article. The method and apparatus embodiments include an excitation energy generator selectively exposing the article to excitation energy in an absorption band of the thermographic phosphor. An emitted radiation detector detects first emission characteristics of first emitted radiation from the article within an emission band of the thermographic phosphor when the article has a first temperature, and detects second emission characteristics of second emitted radiation from the article within the emission band when the article has a second temperature that is different from the first temperature. A temperature adjustment element is configured to adjust the temperature of the article. Embodiments further include a processing system determining whether the first emission characteristics are sufficiently different from the second emission characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2013Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: William Ross Rapoport, James Kane, Carsten Lau, Chirag Patel, Jack Steven Croiter

Publication number: 20040248775Abstract: The present invention addresses a need in the art for methods of identifying apoptotic proteins and methods for screening compounds which inhibit an apoptotic protein. More particularly, in certain embodiments, the invention relates to increased expression levels of a NALP1 gene and/or a NALP5 gene following neuron injury. In other embodiments, the present invention demonstrates that the recombinant expression of NALP1 and/or NALP5 polynucleotides stimulates apoptosis in cultured neurons, HeLa cells and NIH-3T3 cells. In yet other embodiments, the invention relates to mutations in the nucleotide binding sequence (NBS) of a NALP1 or a NALP5 polypeptide, wherein these NBS mutations inhibit purine nucleotide binding and reduce caspase activation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2004Publication date: December 9, 2004Applicant: WyethInventors: Bradley Alton Ozenberger, Sanford Jay Silverman, Jack Steven Jacobsen, Feng Liu, Saule Naureckiene
