  • Publication number: 20210280065
    Abstract: In an approach for contextual event awareness, a processor receives contextual information including motion and sound detection. A processor analyzes the contextual information to determine a proximity sequencing including context of an event. A processor applies machine learning to the proximity sequencing to form a risk assessment based on the context of the event impacting a user. A processor determines that the risk assessment exceeds a predetermined threshold. A processor provides a notification of a risk to the user.

  • Patent number: 10243727
    Abstract: The present disclosure presents methods, apparatuses, and systems to bolster communication security, and more particularly to utilize a constant time cryptographic co-processor engine for such communication security. For example, the disclosure includes a method for secure communication, comprising receiving encrypted data at a receiving device; obtaining a randomization for at least one bit of the encrypted data; modifying an execution of a cryptographic algorithm on the at least one bit to obtain a randomized cryptographic algorithm based on the randomization; and executing the randomized cryptographic algorithm on the at least one bit of encrypted data to recover original data associated with the encrypted data.

  • Publication number: 20170228719
    Abstract: The present invention relates to payment handling apparatus (10) which is operable to effect payment from a purchaser to a vendor. The payment handling apparatus comprises a purchaser client (12) operable by the purchaser, a vendor client (16) operable by the vendor and a purchaser server (14) which stores bank account information of the purchaser and which is in data communication with the purchaser client. The payment handling apparatus (10) also comprises a vendor server (18) which stores bank account information of the vendor and which is in data communication with the vendor client (16) and the purchaser server (14). The payment handling apparatus (10) is configured such that there is no data communication between the purchaser server (14) and the vendor client (16) and between the vendor server (18) and the purchaser client (12). The purchaser client (12) is operative in dependence on purchaser operation to receive a unique code from the purchaser server 14.

  • Patent number: 8594833
    Abstract: Techniques for construction and operation of a programmable product picking apparatus are described herein. Such an apparatus picks up product according to a first spacing (e.g., from a conveyor) and releases the product according to a second spacing (e.g., into a carton). In one possible configuration, a fixed matrix plate defines at least first and second rows of slots. Two movable matrix plates, one that moves right-then-left and one that moves left-then-right, move in opposite directions parallel to the fixed matrix plate according to strokes of pneumatic cylinders. Each of a plurality of product pickers is driven by one of the two movable matrix plates. As that plate moves, the product picker is also moved according to a slot defined in the movable matrix plate. Each product picker comes to a stop when it reaches an end of a slot defined in the fixed matrix plate.

  • Patent number: 8201073
    Abstract: A method and system for enabling the creation of custom-choreographed multimedia content by combining content selected by a user with additional predefined content not selected by the user using an intelligent scripting and video rendering engine. The system and method reduce the user's involvement in preparing the multimedia content to simply selecting specific content the user wants to include in the final multimedia product and leaves the choreography and creation of the final product to the system and method, which intelligently script the final multimedia product based on the particular content selected by a user and/or any characteristics associated with the selected content.
