  • Publication number: 20240020413
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for storing and managing sensitive information in a connected environment are provided. The system comprises a master controller and a sensitive information storage device (“SIS device”). The SIS device has an island that can be activated by user interaction with the SIS device. In general, the island is deactivated by default and when the island is deactivated, sensitive information that is stored on the SIS device cannot be accessed. Only when the island is activated by user interaction can the stored sensitive information be accessed.

  • Patent number: 10928285
    Abstract: A system for performing a standard penetration test, including a hammer assembly with a hammer and a hammer lifting device, an elevator assembly for raising and lowering the hammer assembly, a hammer sensor for sensing a position of the hammer within the hammer assembly, and an elevator sensor for sensing a position of the hammer assembly relative to the elevator assembly. A method for performing a standard penetration test, including positioning a hammer assembly at a hammer assembly ready position, sensing with an elevator sensor a reference position of a hammer assembly relative to the elevator assembly, sensing with a hammer sensor a zero position of a hammer, lifting the hammer with a hammer lifting device from the zero position to a drop position of the hammer, sensing with the hammer sensor the drop position, and dropping the hammer onto an anvil.
