Publication number: 20230410696Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of display modules, assemblies of display modules, and systems of display modules. Display modules have a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in a predetermined pattern and providing a highly uniform visual effect. Alignment and complementary alignment features enable the alignment of adjacent display modules and the creation of large displays from a plurality of aligned display modules. Features to grip and retain a support frame are provided. Modules and systems have features that permit installation and removal from the front side of the display. A system of modular support frames works cooperatively with the display modules, adapting to different mounting environments, and thereby providing large modular displays with desirable properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Robert James Cross, Rick Craig Cope, Jorge Perez-Bravo, Gary Feather, Drew Meincke

Patent number: 11488258Abstract: Computer-readable media, systems and methods may improve security, authorization, and auditability of documents. For example, computer systems for serving documents may be improved to provide secure access and control through challenges that are validated with self-executing on-chain document license contracts that enforce entitlements that specify users and their authorized document actions. Such entitlements may be generated by the user who created the document. As such, a user may retain over authorizations and document actions that are permissible with respect to the document even after the user has transferred a copy of the document. Furthermore, the computer systems may be improved to write an on-chain audit log of document actions, providing an immutable record of the document actions.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: REFINITIV US ORGANIZATION LLCInventors: James Cross, Kegan Dougal, Rob Lundie Hill, Daniel Lewington, Richard Collin

Patent number: 10598617Abstract: Information from metrology tools can be used during inspection or review with a scanning electron microscope. Metrology measurements of a wafer are interpolated and/or extrapolated over a field, which creates modified metrology data. The modified metrology data is associated with defect attributes from inspection measurements of a wafer. A wafer review sampling plan is generated based on the defect attributes and the modified metrology data. The wafer review sampling plan can be used during review of a wafer using the scanning electron microscope.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: KLA-Tencor CorporationInventors: Kaushik Sah, Andrew James Cross, Antonio Mani

Patent number: 10462188Abstract: A computer network security system includes a central controller in communication with software-based endpoint agents operating on individual host computers. The endpoint agents monitor new connection requests to and from their respective hosts, comparing the connections to cached rules obtained from the controller, and holding new connections while escalating requests for applicable rules and/or directives to the controller in real-time when no applicable rules are available in their caches. The endpoint agents can be configured to present a pop-up dialog requesting enhanced authentication credentials from a user on a host in response to a connection request from a restricted network-based application. The pop-up dialog enables enhanced or two-factor authentication functionality to be overlaid on any networked application regardless of the application's inherent authentication capability.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2018Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: OPAQ Networks, Inc.Inventors: John Ondy Terrill, Thomas James Cross, Scott Michael Davis, Qiu Zhang

Patent number: 10262408Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for systematic and stochastic characterization of pattern defects identified from a fabricated component. In use, a plurality of pattern defects detected from a fabricated component are identified. Additionally, attributes of each of the pattern defects are analyzed, based on predefined criteria. Further, a first set of pattern defects of the plurality of pattern defects are determined, from the analysis, to be systematic pattern defects, and a second set of pattern defects of the plurality of pattern defects are determined, from the analysis, to be stochastic pattern defects. Moreover, a first action is performed for the determined systematic pattern defects and a second action is performed for the determined stochastic pattern defects.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: KLA-Tencor CorporationInventors: Allen Park, Moshe Preil, Andrew James Cross
