  • Patent number: 12230114
    Abstract: Systems and methods for configuration for contextual response to motion-based events are disclosed. For example, a predefined event may be detected. The system may determine that a subject associated with the event is of a given type of subjects and may determine whether another person is present in the environment associated with the event to assist in providing aid. The presence of the other person may be detected, a type of the other person may be performed, and a notification may be output on a second device associated with the other person based on the type. The system may track when the other person reach an area associated with the event and may cause the first device to perform an action to assist the other person in providing aid.

  • Publication number: 20250033844
    Abstract: A lid for a beverage container including a lid body defining a drinking passageway extending between a drinking opening at an upper rim of the lid body and a drinking passageway inlet at an interior of the lid body. The lid includes an actuator accessible from an exterior of the lid body and a sealing apparatus coupled to the actuator and located at least partially in an interior of the lid body. The actuator and the sealing apparatus can slide relative to the lid body between a sealed position and an unsealed position. In the sealed position a sealing member of the sealing apparatus contacts an interior surface of the lid body around the drinking passageway inlet to seal the drinking passageway.

  • Publication number: 20250033843
    Abstract: A lid for a container including a lid body, a movable arm, a first magnet unit coupled to the movable arm, an actuator, and a second magnet unit coupled to the actuator. The actuator is movable between a first and second position. The movable arm is movable between a sealing position, in which a drinking opening of the lid body is sealed, and an open position, in which the drinking opening is not sealed. When the actuator is in the first position, at least one of a biasing force and an attractive magnetic force between the first and second magnet units hold the movable arm in the sealing position. When the actuator is moved toward the second position, a repulsive magnetic force between the first and second magnet units causes the movable arm to move toward the open position.

  • Patent number: 12207086
    Abstract: Authenticating a mobile user device with a mobile network operator in advance of an MNO authentication request from the mobile user device can be done by a satellite network sending an authentication request to the MNO system, obtaining a set of authentication vectors related to the mobile user device, storing them into a proxy home location register, receiving the MNO authentication request from the mobile user device, generating an authentication request response based on the authentication vectors, sending the authentication request response to the mobile user device, receiving an authentication response including a received signed response, comparing the received signed response with the stored signed response, and if the received signed response and stored signed response match, deem that to be a successful authentication, add an MNO location update message to a request queue and forward the MNO location update message to the MNO system over the channel when available.
