Patent number: 11909868Abstract: Disclosed is an orthogonal access control system based on cryptographic operations provided by multi-hop proxy re-encryption (PRE) that strictly enforces only authorized access to data by groups of users, scalable to large numbers of users. Scalable delegation of decryption authority can be shared with a plurality of members of a group whether those members be users or devices, and members of a group can further create sub groups and delegate decryption authority to those members, whether users or devices. Members are granted access via generation of transform keys, and membership or access can be revoked merely be deleting the transform key—no elimination of the encrypted data, regardless of its storage location, is needed.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: IronCore Labs, Inc.Inventors: Robert L.

Patent number: 11860859Abstract: A distribution server restructures content and information published to a topic tree for more efficient and meaningful presentation to a subscribing client. To do so, the distribution server receives a request to create a topic view from a client and creates the topic view in response. The topic view includes a set of selected topics and a topic view mapping. The topic view mapping maps the topic paths for the set of selected topics to a set of reference topics at a set of reference paths. In other words, the topic view restructures the content and information by creating new branches in the topic tree. Whenever a selected topic receives an update from a publisher, the distribution server publishes the update as restructured content and information to the reference topics at the reference paths. A client subscribed to the reference path receives the update in a restructured manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: DiffusionData LimitedInventors: Philip Allan George Aston, Patrick Joseph Walsh

Patent number: 11637870Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to improving user responses to cyber security threats. A computing platform may generate a test communication to simulate a potential cyber threat activity. Then, the computing platform may send, via the communication interface, the test communication to a user device associated with a target user. Then, the computing platform may receive, via the communication interface and from the user device, a response to the test communication. Subsequently, the computing platform may determine, based on the response, a threat awareness level for the target user, where the threat awareness level is indicative of a susceptibility of the target user to the potential cyber threat activity. Then, the computing platform may send, to the target user and based on the threat awareness level, an alert notification to counter the cyber threat activity.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: George Albero, Michael Beveridge, Edward Lee Traywick, Elizabeth R.

Publication number: 20230052496Abstract: An apparatus includes an upper member, a lower member disposed beneath the upper member, and a spring disposed between the upper member and the lower member. The upper member has a pin extending downward therefrom. The lower member has a seat configured to receive a free end of the pin. The spring surrounds the pin, and has a free length that is less than the length of the pin. In an unloaded state, the free end of the pin contacts the seat and the spring applies a compressive force to prevent relative lateral movement between the upper member and the lower member. When the lower member carries a load in a loaded state, the load applies a tensile force to the spring that forms a gap between the free end of the pin and the seat, which allows relative lateral movement between the upper member and the lower member.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Inventors: Meier Brender, Joseph Walsh

Publication number: 20220284725Abstract: A rotary milking platform (3) comprises a plurality of stalls (5) and an RFID animal identifying system (9) for identifying animals entering the stalls (5) of the platform (3). A microprocessor (14) reads signals from an image capturing device (15) and computes a feature vector from the captured image of each animal. A plurality of reference feature vectors comprising respective matrices of metrics already derived from images of the respective animals captured by the image capturing device (15) are stored and cross-referenced with the identity of the respective animals. The microprocessor (14) compares computed feature vectors of each animal with the stored reference feature vectors until a best match has been determined with one of the reference feature vectors. The identity of the animal of that matching reference feature vector is then determined as the identity of the animal of that computed feature vector.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2020Publication date: September 8, 2022Applicant: DAIRYMASTERInventors: Edmond Patrick HARTY, Shane Joseph BURNS, Alan HANLEY, John Gerard DALY, Liam MULLANE, Niall O'MAHONY, Joseph WALSH, Daniel RIORDAN
