Publication number: 20240097906Abstract: A permissioned blockchain, using off-chain storage, provides advantages over blockchains that rely on consensus and/or store information within the blockchain. Advantages include enhanced viability, compactness, and the ability to register material with distribution limitations (e.g., military classified). Examples create an immutable public record of data signatures that confirm when data is intact, without distributing the data itself, so that widespread availability of the blockchain (beyond those privileged to see the data) advantageously increases the size of the community that is able to detect spoofing or forgery attempts. A permissioning entity limits submissions to manage blockchain growth, foreclosing problematic material that may risk long-term viability.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Kelce S. Wilson, Jeff A. Hughes, Tyler J. Moody, Derek E. Doran, Gary R. Tuttle, Joel B. Rieman

Patent number: 10398372Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for determining an effect of a drug on pain experienced by a patient. The method comprises providing reference information concerning at least one visible and/or audible feature that is indicative of a level of the pain. The method further comprises capturing information indicative of the at least one visible and/or audible feature, respectively, from the patient comprising observing the patient directly or indirectly after administering the drug to the patient. In addition, the method comprises determining pain indicating information associated with a level of pain experienced by the patient using the captured information. The method also comprises comparing the pain indicating information with the provided reference information to determine the effect of the drug on the pain experienced by the patient.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: ePAT Pty LtdInventors: Jeff Hughes, Kreshnik Hoti, Mustafa Abdul Wahed Atee

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

Publication number: 20140201853Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for enhancing anti-terrorism public safety measures, by more securely determining whether explosives or other contraband have been inserted into notebook computer batteries or other large, replaceable subsystems of electronic devices. Because notebook computers typically require large, heavy batteries, they present attractive containers for smugglers and terrorists attempting to bring explosives onto an airplane. The disclosed security testing system provides more reliable results than many current tests, and does not require that the device under test be powered on. The systems and methods disclosed use out-of-band authentication for added security.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2014Publication date: July 17, 2014Inventors: Kelce S. Wilson, Jeff A. Hughes
