Patent number: 10733586Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are drawn to systems and methods for securing information using cryptographically keyed units. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, a system is provided for securing information that uses two cryptographically keyed units to encrypt information flowing between a fuel pump device and a remote device. Thus, even if the information is intercepted, it could not be used to perpetrate fraud.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2011Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Michael C. Finley, James Fortuna, James Hervey

Patent number: 10144253Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are generally related to one or more systems, methods, and devices for providing an integrated tire inflation system, mounted on each tire, wheel, rim, axle, or structure of the vehicle, that communicates with a remote device (e.g., communication device located in the cab of the vehicle and/or a remote network entity) and obtains an optimal tire pressure from the network entity that is calculated to maximize fuel economy, tread life, load, or an environmental condition. In some examples, the integrated telematics system may periodically measure and transmit data associated with the tire to the communication device in the cab and/or to a network entity that may calculate the optimal tire pressure for each tire on the vehicle. The integrated telematics system may receive the optimal tire pressure information from the communication device and/or the network entity and automatically adjust the tire pressure accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2016Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: OMNITRACS, LLCInventors: Wesley M. Mays, James Fortuna

Patent number: 9992227Abstract: A remote, secure maintenance and support system, method, network entity and computer program product are provided. The system can include site terminal(s) and/or a site server (collectively “site device(s)”), a data center in communication with the site device(s) over a first secure tunnel, and at least one client terminal in communication with the data center over a second secure tunnel. The site device(s) can be configured to periodically transmit to the data center one or more error messages over the first secure tunnel. The data center can, in turn, be configured to make the error messages accessible to at least one authorized technician operating one of the client terminals. The client terminal can be configured to retrieve at least one of the error messages over the second secure tunnel and to take an action associated with resolving the error message.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2009Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Erika Thomas, Jeff Hughes, David Turner, Jason Henriksen, Donald Davidson, Benjamin Alderson, James Fortuna
