Patent number: 11935384Abstract: The disclosed wearable device systems include several features for alerting and guiding persons who are approaching or near to potentially hazardous or high-risk conditions in their nearby environment. Sensor data from wearable devices (also referred to herein as “wearables”) are used to determine the presence of various unsafe environmental conditions and phenomenon, including dangerous terrain or other unusual conditions. The wearable would be used to warn a person, for example via auditory or haptic-based feedback, if the person is about to encounter an unsafe condition. In particular, the proposed systems can be of great benefit to the visually impaired, those persons with physical disabilities, or persons otherwise vulnerable to particular environmental conditions.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Yevgeniy Viatcheslavovich Khmelev, Christopher Russell, Gregory David Hansen, Nathan Lee Post, Ashley Raine Philbrick, Nolan Serrao, Ruthie D.

Patent number: 11806114Abstract: A system for measuring capillary refill time includes a wearable device and a control unit. The wearable device includes a force sensor to obtain a force signal and an optical sensor to obtain an optical signal. The system ensures that an applied force is acceptable in both magnitude and duration, and that a duration over which the applied force is released or removed is acceptable. These factors can establish that a capillary refill time determined or calculated therein is accurate. The system can also determine the capillary refill time based on the force and optical signals obtained by the force and optical sensors, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2020Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignees: ProMedix, Inc., Welch Allyn, Inc., Oregon Health & Science UniversityInventors: David Sheridan, Matthew Lee Hansen, Andrew Kibler, Steven D.

Publication number: 20230081068Abstract: An approach is provided for distributing a root key to a hardware security module (HSM) of an HSM cluster. A signed first command is transmitted to a source HSM to create a master key. A fingerprint of the master key is received in a response signed by the source HSM using a module signing key hardcoded into the source HSM at manufacturing time. A second command is transmitted to a first HSM to generate an importer key pair. A request is transmitted to the source HSM to create and export a wrapped master key. The master key wrapped with a transport key is received. The wrapped master key is transmitted to the first HSM. The master key is activated in the first HSM.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: DAVID NGUYEN, Marco Pavone, Clifford Lee Hansen, Garry Joseph Sullivan, Ross Martin Heninger
