  • NETWORK AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM WITH DYNAMIC KEY GENERATION
    Publication number: 20150341792
    Abstract: A network authentication system with dynamic key generation that facilitates the establishment of both endpoint identity, as well as a secure communication channel using a dynamically-generated key between two end devices (potentially on separate local area networks). An interactive or noninteractive authentication protocol is used to establish the identity of the target end device, and dynamic key generation is used to establish a shared symmetric session key for creating an encrypted communication channel between the end devices.

  • SOMATOSENSORY FEEDBACK WEARABLE OBJECT
    Publication number: 20150294597
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, computer-readable mediums, and methods for receiving, from a sensor array, three-dimensional sensory data associated with an environment of a person. The three-dimensional sensory data is converted into a two-dimensional representation. An obstacle is located within the environment based upon the sensory data. The obstacle is mapped onto the two-dimensional representation and the two-dimensional representation is mapped onto a plurality of actuators within a vibrotactile interface. One or more of a plurality of actuators are controlled based upon the mapping of the two-dimensional representation onto the plurality of actuators to provide tactile input to the person that represents a location of the obstacle.

  • ELECTRICAL DEVICE POWER MANAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20150253390
    Abstract: An electrical device includes a memory storing a value indicative the remaining available rated capacity of one or more batteries. The stored value is changed in use to reflect reducing capacity. The initial stored value is chosen so that there is a very high (e.g. >99.9%) confidence that the one or more batteries will provide at least the capacity indicated by the initial stored value. This reduces the chance of failure during emergency procedures. The one or more batteries may be integral to the electrical device. An override facility is provided.

  • COMMUNITY COMMERCE FUNDRAISING SYSTEM AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20150213523
    Abstract: A community commerce system and method is centered about a common website and electronically generated gift cards, or e-gift cards. The system and method encourages what is referred to herein as “community commerce” among several classes of participants, including: i) merchants/business owners; ii) shoppers; and iii) charities/nonprofits/fundraisers. A member may use the website to purchase electronic e-gift cards, redeemable at a merchant's place of business. Each e-gift card is associated with an individual merchant, has a face value, and further has an identified quantity of donation dollars. Each merchant establishes their own e-gift card, determining both the face value of each e-gift card and how many donation dollars are to be given to shoppers in exchange for each e-gift card purchase.

  • MEMORY SHORT PROTECTION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20150192629
    Abstract: Memory short detection systems and methods include a power supply system with first power rail. A memory system includes a memory device connector that is configured to couple to a memory device and includes a first pin that is coupled to the first power rail and a second pin located adjacent the first pin. A short detection circuit is coupled to the first pin. The short detection circuit is configured to provide a first voltage from the first power rail, compare the first voltage to a first short detection voltage, and determine whether a short exists across the first pin and the second pin based on the comparing of the first voltage to the first short detection voltage. If a short is determined to exist across the first pin and the second pin, power is prevented from being provided to the memory device connector.
