Patent number: 11914710Abstract: A system and method for early detection of a compromised client device includes a tamper detection service configured to monitor modifications to resource access privileges over time to identify unusual variations in jailbreak status that indicate compromise of the client device. For example, the tamper detection service may monitor the jailbreak status of system files over time to expose attempts to hide the jailbreak status of a protected resource. To validate that malware is attempting to hide the jailbreak status of a protected resources, the tamper detection process may launch multiple different resource accesses, targeting the protected resource, to determine whether different accessibility results are returned, indicating a compromised device.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Jon Whitmore, Kevin Nieman

Patent number: 11418501Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for updating identification information of a user with service providers. An embodiment operates by a computing device sending a first piece of identification information describing a user to a service provider requiring a credential to update a user profile unique to the user. Upon receiving an indication that the piece of identification information sufficiently describes the user, the computing device generates an identifier unique to the particular user to identify the user when the computing device communicates with the service provider. Thereafter, the computing device sends an instruction to the service provider to update their user profile with a second piece of identification information. With the request, the computing device sends the identifier unique to the user, which allows the service provider to bypass the user credential and update the user profile with the second piece of identification information.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Matthew Carson, Kevin Nieman, Michael Chen, Kelly Ripple, Seth Wilton Cottle

Patent number: 10578503Abstract: A fitting for a fluid conduit includes a coupling body, a coupling nut, a conduit gripping device that is axially driven by the coupling body and the coupling nut to provide grip and seal against a conduit, and a strain sensor unit disposed on a neck portion of the coupling body, the strain sensor unit including at least a first axially extending strain sensor positioned and oriented for strain sensor unit measurement of a first strain of the neck portion corresponding with a first fitting assembly condition, and a second strain of the neck portion corresponding with a second fitting assembly condition different from the first fitting assembly condition.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2016Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Swagelok CompanyInventors: Jeffrey Michael Rubinski, Peter C.

Patent number: 10254360Abstract: A router (60), for use with magnetic resonance systems (10), selectively routes unique excitation signals, generated by a multi-channel radio-frequency (RF) amplifier, over transmission lines (Tx) to any one of a plurality of connection panels (66) which each accepts at least one RF coil assembly having multiple coil elements (20). Each connection panel (66) includes transceiver ports (68) for connecting at least one conductor (22,24) of the coil elements (20) to a corresponding transceiver channel (T/R). The router (60) selectively routes magnetic resonance signals received by the conductors (22,24) from the transceiver channels (T/R) to a multi-channel RF receiver (41). The coin elements may carry sine-mode currents or uniform currents.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2011Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Michael A. Morich, Zhiyong Zhai, Eddy Y. Wong, Kevin Nieman, Nabeel M. Malik

Publication number: 20160273687Abstract: In an exemplary method for installing a fitting on a conduit, a fitting body is provided with a threaded end portion, a neck portion extending rearward from the threaded end portion, and an internal conduit socket extending axially into the neck portion and terminating at a counterbore. A conduit is inserted in the internal conduit socket of the fitting body. A fitting nut is pulled up on the fitting body to grip and seal a conduit gripping device against the conduit. Relative axial displacement of at least first and second reference locations on the neck portion is detected to determine whether the fitting is in a first fitting assembly condition or a second fitting assembly condition different from the first fitting assembly condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2016Publication date: September 22, 2016Inventors: Jeffrey Michael Rubinski, Peter C.
