Publication number: 20250062962Abstract: A system is provided for secure cross partition access and computing device recovery. In particular, the system may comprise a computing device that includes a non-transitory memory or storage device comprising one or more partitions. A user may attempt to log into the device and get locked out of the primary partition of the device after a threshold number of unsuccessful login attempts. The additional partitions of the computing device may store a portion of the authentication credential needed to access the primary partition and prompt the user using an item from the user data stored in a user-specific database. Upon detecting that the user has successfully accessed a threshold number of partitions and/or successfully provided responses to the prompts from a threshold number of partitions, the system may unlock and grant access to the locked partitions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2023Publication date: February 20, 2025Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Kamal D.

Publication number: 20250029574Abstract: An image system dynamically updates drive sequences in an image system. Drive sequences are image display settings or display driving characteristics with which a display is operated. The image system may determine the drive sequence at least partially based on input from one or more sensors. For example, the image system may include sensors such as an inertial measurement unit, a light sensor, a camera, a temperature sensor, or other sensors from which sensor data may be collected. The image system may analyze the sensor data to calculate drive sequence settings or to select a drive sequence from a number of predetermined drive sequences. Displaying image content on a display includes providing the display with image data and includes operating the display with various drive sequences.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Inventors: Andrew Iverson, Howard V.

Publication number: 20230347186Abstract: This disclosure involves systems and an apparatus for an in-mask display and mounting system for a display to be integrated into a positive pressure mask. In certain enclosed environments, emergency masks are used as a backup source of breathable atmosphere in the event the regular atmosphere becomes unusable. While the mask may enable breathing, smoke or other environmental factors may inhibit visibility. This disclosure provides an in-mask display, and mounting system to provide critical information to the user, regardless of visibility external to the mask. A mechanism is provided to allow the display to be translated vertically within the mask, allowing the user to align the display with their eyes. The display must also be mounted in a manner that minimizes mask penetrations and rejects any heat generated by the display outside of the mask.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2022Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Nathan Klatt, Jean-Claude de Sugny, Michael Huynh, Kevin Ferguson, Divya Prasannan

Publication number: 20230198769Abstract: Opt-out systems and methods for tailored advertising are disclosed herein. An example method includes registering an endpoint with a service provider hosting an opt-out service that allows users to opt-out of tailored advertising from the endpoint, receiving a first request from a user including an email address, generating a hashed representation of the email address according to a hashing algorithm selected for the endpoint, transmitting a second request to the endpoint, the second request including the hashed representation of the email address, and receiving an acknowledgment that the endpoint has processed the second request. When the second request is processed the user does not receive the tailored advertising from the endpoint.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Leigh Morrow Parsons Freund, Antoni Matyjaszewski, Julie Karasik, Justin Davis, Kevin Ferguson
