Patent number: 11956217Abstract: One example may include forwarding a request sent outside a VPN server, via a client device, to access a second communication network detected by the client device, and the client device is communicating with the VPN server over a first communication network, responsive to receiving a captive portal, forwarding, via the client device, authentication information to obtain access to the second communication network, and the authentication information is not forwarded to the VPN server, and receiving data, by the client device, from a remote server over a bonded connection including a first connection provided by the first communication network bonded with a second connection provided by the second communication network to form the bonded connection.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: CONNECTIFY, INC.Inventors: Brian Prodoehl, Brian Lutz, Kevin Cunningham, Alexander Gizis

Patent number: 11956320Abstract: Connecting a client computer to a server may include receiving a first request at the server from the client computer for content managed by the server, and the first request includes a communication protocol and is sent from a first access point, receiving a second request at the server from the client computer for the content managed by the server, and the second request is transmitted from a second access point prior to the server responding to the first request and includes a different communication protocol than the first request, determining by the server the first request and the second request share a common attribute, transmitting a connection acceptance message from the server to the client computer identifying a selected one of the first request and the second request based on a most optimal connection associated with the selected request, and establishing a connection between the server and the client computer based on the selected request.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: CONNECTIFY, INC.Inventors: Brian Prodoehl, Kevin Cunningham, Brian Lutz, Alexander Gizis

Patent number: 11941607Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to applying, via contactless card authentication, one or more restrictions to a virtual card number and generating the card number for use by a recipient. The one or more restrictions may be specifically personalized to the recipient and may include, for example, a merchant restriction, an amount restriction, a time period restriction, or a location restriction. The generated virtual card number along with the applied one or more restrictions may be consumed in various ways, such as writing the number to a blank card, transmitting the number directly to the recipient's computing device, etc., all via near-field communication.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Rule, Kevin Osborn, Wayne Lutz

Patent number: 11935041Abstract: Example embodiments of systems and methods for data transmission system between transmitting and receiving devices are provided. In an embodiment, each of the transmitting and receiving devices can contain a master key. The transmitting device can generate a diversified key using the master key, protect a counter value and encrypt data prior to transmitting to the receiving device, which can generate the diversified key based on the master key and can decrypt the data and validate the protected counter value using the diversified key.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Kaitlin Newman, Colin Hart, Jeffrey Rule, Lara Mossler, Sophie Bermudez, Michael Mossoba, Wayne Lutz, Charles Nathan Crank, Melissa Heng, Kevin Osborn, Kimberly Haynes, Andrew Cogswell, Latika Gulati, Sarah Jane Cunningham, James Ashfield

Patent number: 11747513Abstract: A sensor apparatus for detecting a target object influenced by a process or formed in the process includes a sensor unit and an evaluation device. The sensor unit detects the target object in a detection zone of the sensor unit and generates a sensor signal that can be influenced by the target object. The evaluation device processes the sensor signal as a first input variable and generates an output signal, which indicates the detection of the target object, in dependence on the sensor signal. The evaluation device further processes a process parameter of the process, which acts on the target object, or a target object parameter, which characterizes the target object and is influenced by the process, as a respective further input variable and to generate the output signal in dependence on the process parameter and/or the target object parameter.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignees: SICK AG, TRUMPF WERKZEUGMASCHINEN SE + CO. KGInventors: Jens Ottnad, Dennis Wolf, Kevin Lutz, Christoph Blömker, Michael Burger, Peter Steurer, Günter Hirt, Stefan Kienzler

Publication number: 20060180646Abstract: This invention relates generally to lidded disposable pressed paperboard containers and more particularly to a disposable lid with an engagement profile particularly useful for paperboard containers comprising evert outer portions. The lid of the present invention provides a good fit for paperboard container bases having evert outer portions while still allowing the lid to be removed from the base without the need for excessive force. The lid profile is relatively insensitive to size variations of paperboard container bases having evert outer portions and allows for flexing of paperboard during application so as to provide an unexpectedly good seal so as to provide lidded, disposable paperboard containers.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2006Publication date: August 17, 2006Applicant: Fort James CorporationInventors: Mark Littlejohn, Margaret Hoks, Kevin Lutz, Gerald Van Handel

Publication number: 20050145638Abstract: A domed lid 12 for a food container 10 is configured for ease of engagement and removal from a container base 14. The lid characteristically includes: (a) a dome portion 16 with a top wall 24 and a sidewall 26; (b) a flange portion 28 extending outwardly away from a lower portion of the sidewall; and (c) a tab portion 30 extending outwardly from the flange. The flange portion is provided with a rim 32 having a variable profile around the rim characterized in that: (i) the rim is provided with a securing undercut portion 36 extending around the majority of its periphery adapted to secure the lid to an outer border of base 14; and (ii) the rim has a pair of relatively passive engagement profile portions 42, 44 on either side of tab 30, extending to the securing undercut portion of the rim, the passive engagement profile portions are configured so that they are undercut less than the securing undercut portion of the lid, thereby facilitating engagement of the lid with, or removal of the lid from, base 14.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2005Publication date: July 7, 2005Inventors: Gerald Van Handel, Margaret Hoks, Mark Littlejohn, Kevin Lutz,, John Kohout, Rebecca Whitmore
