  • Publication number: 20250373736
    Abstract: A method (500) for wirelessly connecting a mobile device (182) to a multi-function device (MFD) (100), comprising: scanning (530) for one or more MFDs within a vicinity of the mobile device; communicating (540), by the mobile device, a connection request to a device recognition system (400); receiving (550), by the mobile device from the device recognition system, connection instructions comprising instructions for connecting to one or more MFDs in the vicinity of the mobile device, wherein the instructions for connecting to the one or more MFDs are selected by the device recognition system using a trained MFD connection algorithm (464); and connecting (560), by the mobile device utilizing the connection instructions, to one of the one or more MFDs in the vicinity of the mobile device

  • Publication number: 20250103724
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of coordinating threat detection and mitigation among a fleet of trusted devices. As described herein, cybersecurity is a growing concern of many individuals and organizations, especially for those that use multiple electronic devices. In expansive computing environments such as these, security information and event management (SIEM) solutions have been developed. However, providing a holistic solution to a distributed environment remains challenging. According, the systems and methods described utilize an SIEM solution in conjunction with a threat response profile hosted locally on a trusted device within a fleet of trusted devices to provide a coordinated threat response that can be narrowly and/or broadly applied to one or more devices of the fleet of trusted devices.

  • Patent number: 8368977
    Abstract: A 4×4 LUT comprises a K to K LUT merged with a CMYK to CMYK LUT with values ranging from [0, 0, 0, 0] to [0, 0, 0, 255], said 4×4 LUT written to a known file format. A method for creating 4×4 look up tables (LUTs) uses the source and destination ICC profiles. A K to K LUT is built, a CMYK to CMYK LUT is built, the K to K LUT is merged with the CMYK to CMYK LUT, and the resulting LUT is written to a known file format. Such a process is important since it solves the issue of preserving K in a CMYK to CMYK transform while adding the performance improvement of a 4×4 LUT.
