Patent number: 9539374Abstract: A donated blood collection kit includes an easy-to-open closed container. Stored within the container are items necessary or useful for collecting donated blood, such as an antiseptic scrub, an antiseptic swab, test tubes, a blood collection container, a gauze pad and a sheet of pre-printed adhesive barcode labels. Each kit is assigned a unique identification when the kit is manufactured. The identification may eventually be used as the unique donor identification for a unit of donated blood that is collected using the items in the kit. The container is pre-labeled with the unique identification, such as by a barcode or an RF-ID tag. The test tubes and, if included, the blood collection container are pre-labeled with the same unique donor identification.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2010Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Haemonetics CorporationInventors: Lise N. Halpern, Tim Costello, Jonathan White

Patent number: 9411780Abstract: Techniques are described for determining height, weight, or other characteristics of a user based on processed sensor data. The sensor data may include data collected by sensors on the user's computing device or other computing devices, or data collected by stationary, external sensors. Different types of sensor data may be processed to estimate at least one physical characteristic of the user, such as the user's height, weight, apparel size, age, and so forth. The estimated characteristics may be employed to perform actions based on the user's identity or category, to customize content delivery for the user, or for other purposes.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2013Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Nadim Awad, Srinivasan Sridharan, Kenneth Paul Kiraly, Jonathan White Keljo, Levon Dolbakian, Arnaud Marie Froment

Patent number: 9319221Abstract: Approaches to enable a computing device, such as a phone or tablet computer, to compute a probability that the user currently using the device matches a profile of an authorized user and to set or change a security level of the computing device based on the computed probability. The security level can be one of many security levels each having a different scope of authorized access to data or functions of the computing device. The computing device may periodically re-compute the probability and change the security level whenever the probability crosses certain predefined thresholds.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2013Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Nadim Awad, Jonathan White Keljo, Levon Dolbakian, Arnaud Marie Froment, Kenneth Paul Kiraly, Michael David Dumont, Srinivasan Sridharan

Patent number: 9299350Abstract: A system and method for identifying a user of a device includes comparing audio received by a device with acoustic fingerprint information to identify a user of the device. Image data, video data and other data may also be used in the identification of the user. Once the user is identified, operation of the device may be customized based on the user. Further, once the user is identified, data can be associated with the user, for example, usage data, location data, gender data, age data, dominant hand data of the user, and other data. This data can then be used to further customize the operation of the device to the specific user.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael David Dumont, Jonathan White Keljo, Levon Dolbakain, Srinivasan Sridharan, Arnaud Marie Froment, Nadim Awad, Kenneth Paul Kiraly

Patent number: 9286482Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device may include one or more recognition devices able to be used to recognize a current user. If the electronic device recognizes that a primary user, such as an owner, is currently using the electronic device, the electronic device may allow access to all of the primary user's private information and all of the features of the electronic device. On the other hand, when the electronic device determines that the current user is an unknown user, or that the current user is a known user who is authorized to access only limited information or features of the electronic device, the electronic device may send a communication to restrict the current user from accessing private information of the primary user. In some cases, the electronic device may enable the primary user to designate which items known users and/or unknown users may access.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2013Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael David Dumont, Kenneth Paul Kiraly, Levon Dolbakian, Srinivasan Sridharan, Nadim Awad, Jonathan White Keljo, Arnaud Marie Froment

Patent number: 9276541Abstract: Content is presented by media devices to a user. Described herein are techniques and systems for determining occurrence of one or more events at, or proximate to, the media device. Once an event is determined, one or more actions to modify presentation of the content may be initiated. The actions may include starting presentation of the content, stopping presentation of the content, applying noise mitigation techniques to the content, and so forth. The noise mitigation techniques may include modification of an intended signal from the content to produce a noise mitigation zone 118 proximate to, or encompassing, at least a portion of the user's head.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Arnaud Marie Froment, Kenneth Paul Kiraly, Jonathan White Keljo, Srinivasan Sridharan, Levon Dolbakian, Nadim Awad, Michael David Dumont

Patent number: 9104886Abstract: Systems and approaches are provided for automating privacy control for a computing device based on a privacy or security context of the device. The privacy or security context of the computing device can be determined by analyzing sensor data or other input data captured by the device. The sensor and other input data can provide information such as a location of the computing device or the presence of other persons within the vicinity of the device to indicate whether the user is situated within a private or secure setting or a public or unsecure setting. A privacy or security control can be updated based on the determined privacy or security context, such as modifying a manner of displaying a pin or password during entry, elements of a home screen of the computing device, or preview content of user applications.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2013Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Levon Dolbakian, Jonathan White Keljo, Kenneth Paul Kiraly, Nadim Awad, Arnaud Marie Froment, Michael David Dumont, Srinivasan Sridharan
