Publication number: 20250039191Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus that collect data regarding malware threats, that organizes this collected malware threat data, and that provides this data to computers or people such that damage associated with these software threats can be quantified and reduced. The present disclosure is also directed to preventing the spread of malware before that malware can damage computers or steal computer data. Methods consistent with the present disclosure may optimize tests performed at different levels of a multi-level threat detection and prevention system. As such, methods consistent with the present disclosure may collect data from various sources that may include endpoint computing devices, firewalls/gateways, or isolated (e.g. “sandbox”) computers. Once this information is collected, it may then be organized, displayed, and analyzed in ways that were not previously possible.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: F. William Conner, MinhDung Joe NguyenLe, Atul Dhablania, Richard Chio, Justin Jose, Lalith Kumar Dampanaboina

Patent number: 12201558Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing coupled to a medicament container, which is coupled to a needle. An injection assembly is disposed within the housing and includes an energy storage member and an actuation rod. A distal end portion of the actuation rod is disposed within the medicament container. The energy storage member can produce a force on a proximal end portion of the actuation rod sufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container. This can convey at least a portion of a substance from the medicament container via the needle when a distal tip of the needle is disposed within a first region of a target location. The force is insufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container when the distal tip of the needle is disposed within a second region of the target location.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2023Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: Clearside Biomedical, Inc.Inventors: Rafael Victor Andino, Vladimir Zarnitsyn, Jesse Yoo, Christopher John Brooks, Trent John Kahute, Justin William Arsenault, David Jackson Trettin, Andrew Kent Bauer, Stephanie Elaine Lewis

Patent number: 12161322Abstract: A surgical stapling apparatus (stapler) including a housing, elongated member, and a reload is disclosed. A cartridge is configured to selectively couple to a first jaw member of the reload and includes one or more resilient members thereon. An anvil operably supported on a second jaw member of the reload is configured to compress one or more fasteners ejected from the cartridge. The anvil includes one or more locking members thereon. A knife is configured to translate through the cartridge and anvil when the first and second jaw members are in a closed configuration. Engagement between the knife and the resilient member(s) causes the resilient member(s) to move from an initial configuration that allows the knife to travel distally past the locking member(s) to a final configuration that allows the locking member(s) to engage the knife.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2023Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Justin Williams, Christopher Penna, Lee Ann Olson, Stanislaw Marczyk, Kenneth M.

Publication number: 20240403901Abstract: This invention is directed toward a system which can “step into the shoes” of a user and learn the perspective of that user, regarding photographs or other content, to the point where the system can learn, using criteria it has developed through its interaction with the user, to select photographs it predicts the user will find meaningful from large sets of photographs. The “meaningfulness” of various content from a multitude of users is a constantly improving system made up of four basic elements: a General Content Perspective, an Individual Content Perspective, a Natural Language Generation and Content Presentation, and a Hypersphere element.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Troy DeBraal, Nethika Sahani Suraweera, Justin Williams

Patent number: 12143422Abstract: Responsive to the request for a security fabric report, an upper-level node transits a request to a lower-level node for a subtree security report. If there are additional network gateways at lower hierarchical levels, the next level down repeats the process. A root level network gateway will transmit the first request, as the high level of the hierarchy, and a last leaf receives the last request, as the lowest level. An overall security fabric report is returned from the root node.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2022Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Fortinet, Inc.Inventor: Justin William Lum

Patent number: 12082835Abstract: A surgical grasper includes an articulation assembly configured to enable a tool assembly to pivot in a first plane and articulate in a second plane orthogonal to the first plane. The surgical grasper eliminates the center line pivot joint used in conventional articulation mechanism, which, in turn, enables use of thicker cable that provides greater clamping force of first and second jaws of the tool assembly.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2021Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Justin Williams, Russell Pribanic

Patent number: 12076554Abstract: Electrical stimulation of specific facial and lingual nerves creates a more sustained pulsatility activity compared to stimulation of other cranial nerves. Pulsatility of arteries has intrinsic time constraints related to the time for vasodilation/constriction and time to return to baseline (TBL) after electrical stimulation which may affect the pulsatility response. Control of temporal patterning and the stimulation waveform maximizes the physiological response to cerebral pulsatility and its resulting effects on cerebral spinal fluid penetration into the brain parenchyma for a multitude of therapeutic uses including clearing misfolded proteins and/or administered pharmacological agents, diluting endogenous neurochemical concentrations within the brain, and reducing non-synaptic coupling.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research FoundationInventors: Kip Ludwig, Justin Williams, Angela Williams, Samuel Poore

Patent number: 12059073Abstract: An apparatus includes a crossbar to which a plurality of accessories using different mechanical interfaces may be attached and detached. The crossbar is instrumented and provides information, such as a weight change due to addition to, or removal of, items from an accessory on the crossbar. An extensible bracket attaches the crossbar to a supporting structure, decreasing mechanical strain on the crossbar due to minor misalignment of the supporting structure. Accessories such as wire hooks, shelves, bins, and so forth may be supported by the crossbar. A tether device, locking cam device, or clip device may be used to prevent lateral movement of components such as the accessories or the entire crossbar relative to its supporting structure. A baffle may be affixed to the crossbar to constrain airflow for operation in a temperature-controlled case.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2021Date of Patent: August 13, 2024Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Gregory Kim Justice, Venkata Srikiran Bodapati, Rafiuddin Arif Ahud, Ryan Q.

Publication number: 20240239920Abstract: Densified textile aggregates are co-fed with a fuel into a partial oxidation gasifier. High solids concentrations in the feedstock composition can be obtained without significant impact on the feedstock composition stability and pumpability. A consistent quality of densified textile derived syngas can be continuously produced, including generation of carbon dioxide and a carbon monoxide/hydrogen ratio while stably operating the gasifier and avoiding the high tar generation of fluidized bed or fixed bed waste gasifiers and without impacting the operations of the gasifier. The densified textile derived syngas quality, composition, and throughput are suitable for produce a wide range of chemicals and polymers, including methanol, acetic acid, methyl acetate, acetic anhydride, and cellulose esters through a variety of reaction schemes in which at least a portion of the chemical or polymer originates with densified textile derived syngas.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2024Publication date: July 18, 2024Applicant: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: William Lewis Trapp, Justin William Murphy, Nathan Mitchell West
