Abstract: A storage tunnel assembly for the bed of a pickup truck or other vehicle. The storage tunnel assembly generally includes a deployable vertical wall separated from a bulkhead of the bed and disposed across a width of the bed and a deployable cover separated from a floor of the bed between the vertical wall and the bulkhead and disposed across the width of the bed. The vertical wall, the cover, the bulkhead, and the floor define a storage space within a space defined by the bed. The vertical wall and the cover may be fixed components, separate components, and/or hinged components in various assemblies. One or both side walls of the bed define a storage tunnel access opening coincident with the storage space defined by the vertical wall, the cover, the bulkhead, and the floor and may include a door adapted to selectively open and close the associated storage tunnel access opening.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides desensitized fertilizer compositions that are resistant to detonation. The desensitized fertilizer compositions of the present disclosure are formed, under heat, from a reaction product of a base fertilizer material, such as ammonium nitrate, and a phosphate-based additive, such as ammonium polyphosphate. The resulting compositions include monoammonium phosphate (MAP), diammonium phosphate (DAP), and polyphosphate crystals distributed throughout the crystalline fertilizer material. The presence of the distributed MAP and DAP crystals is believed to stabilize the base fertilizer material and reduce or eliminate the detonation potential of the fertilizer material.

Abstract: Dynamic Cipher Key Management (DCKM) of the present invention enables the protection of sensitive electronic data by assigning symmetric or asymmetric cipher keys using a process that delivers the cipher key to a network endpoint device by means of a key installation, delivery, and storage methodology. DCKM may negate the need to physically touch the network device under protection. Further, DCKM's process is based on a set of operating principles that maintains the highest levels of assurance that the cipher key pairs are issued with only devices that have the right and authorization to create a secure communication path. The DCKM process realizes the same level of security confidence that is only achieved today with conventional token based key management services with respect to the paired devices linked via a cipher key public and private relationship.

Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches an implementation for leveraging self-sovereign credentials held on mobile devices to provision credentials that empower one party (“recipient” or “user”, used synonymously herein) to obtain credentialed access to information and resources on behalf of another party (“sender” or “administrator”, used synonymously herein), without either party exposing private key information to each other or to the cloud. The sender is able to revoke user credentials at any time. Parties are able to leverage commodity hardware to automatically mutually authenticate their credentials and access available relevant options and workflows.

Abstract: An embodiment of a feedback-based system and methods are disclosed for real-time mitigation of fraud and otherwise invalid traffic in a mobile ad environment. The system of three complementary facets of one embodiment comprises four major sub-systems: prevention, detection, control and reporting, which work in cohesion with one another to achieve the common goal of the system. In the embodiment, deterministic and probabilistic methods are applied across all levels of user engagement (impressions, clicks, installs, post-install events, and conversions) to detect the likely sources of invalid traffic and block them in real time. A distinctive and unifying feature of the embodiment of the system is the feedback loop that connects advanced analytics and machine learning techniques that the detection subsystem employs at all levels of user engagement to the real-time blocking mechanism of the prevention subsystem that operates at the initial levels of user engagements, such as clicks and impressions.
