  • Patent number: 11171688
    Abstract: Systems and methods can include a transponder configured to communicate wirelessly with a receiver and sensor module (RSM), wireless communicate with a high-speed network, and radio-frequency (RF) powering of RSM. The high-speed network can include a wired network such as USB or Ethernet, or wireless network such as a WiFi or cellular network. Additionally or alternatively, an antenna module can be configured to transmit radio-frequency (RF) power to a receiver configured to monitor a condition of a machine.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10880080
    Abstract: Techniques are described for cryptographic key generation based on biometric data associated with a user. Biometric data, such as fingerprint(s) and/or heartbeat data, may be collected using one or more sensors in proximity to the user. The biometric data may be analyzed to generate a cryptographic key. In some implementations, the key may be employed by the user to access data, access certain (e.g., secure) feature(s) of an application, authenticate the user, digitally sign document(s), and/or for other purpose(s). In some implementations, the key may be re-generated for each access request or authentication instance, based on the user's fingerprint or other biometric data.
