  • Patent number: 10075835
    Abstract: One or more sensors gather data, one or more processors analyze the data, and one or more indicators notify a user if the data represent an event that requires a response. One or more of the sensors and/or the indicators is a wearable device for wireless communication. Optionally, other components may be vehicle-mounted or deployed on-site. The components form an ad-hoc network enabling users to keep track of each other in challenging environments where traditional communication may be impossible, unreliable, or inadvisable. The sensors, processors, and indicators may be linked and activated manually or they may be linked and activated automatically when they come within a threshold proximity or when a user does a triggering action, such as exiting a vehicle. The processors distinguish extremely urgent events requiring an immediate response from less-urgent events that can wait longer for response, routing and timing the responses accordingly.

  • Patent number: 9983565
    Abstract: Technologies for bio-chemically controlling operation of a machine include applying a bio-chemical agent to an operator of the machine and controlling an operational characteristic of the machine based on the presence of the bio-chemical agent on the operator. The operational characteristic of the machine may be controlled based on the presence or lack of the biochemical agent on the operator. In some embodiments, the bio-chemical agent may be configured to generate a bio-chemical trigger in response to exposure to a biochemical or biological characteristic of the operator. The operation of the machine may be controlled based on such bio-chemical trigger or reaction.

  • Patent number: 9871820
    Abstract: Technologies for managing network privileges of members of graft-network include detecting a computing device in physical presence with a network infrastructure, determining whether the computing device is a member of the graft-network, and establishing initial network privileges for the computing device if the computing device is not a member, without direct programming of the member. The network privileges of members of the graft-network are updated over time as a function of the length of time for which the computing device is in physical presence of the network infrastructure. A computing device may be in physical presence of the network by physical contacting a communication bus of the network infrastructure or being within a limited communication range of the communication bus. New members to the graft-network may be quarantined to reduce risk to the network.

  • Patent number: 9864858
    Abstract: Technologies for managing security threats on a computing system include detecting a security threat to the computing system, determining a plurality of mitigation scenarios to employ on the computing system to mitigate the security threat, and implementing the plurality of mitigation scenarios. Each mitigation scenario includes one or more threat mitigation actions to be taken by the computing system, one or more response systems of the computing system to perform the threat mitigation actions, and a temporal sequence in which the threat mitigation actions are to be taken. The results of each mitigation scenario is evaluated and a validated mitigation scenario is determined based on the results. A user of the computing device may be subsequently trained or habituated to mitigate the security threat by requesting interaction from the user during the implementation of the validated mitigation scenario in response to a threat scenario designed to replicate the security threat.
