Patent number: 10945051Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor that monitors transmissions destined for an external network, determines that a transmission includes original media associated with a subject, and intercepts the transmission before it reaches the external network. The processor generates modified media by selecting a subset of data elements of the original media and replacing a value of each data element of the subset with a new value. At least one of the subset of data elements and the set of new values is chosen such that an accuracy metric calculated for a first generative algorithm, trained to generate synthetic representations of the subject based on modified media, is less than, by a given factor, the accuracy metric calculated for a second generative algorithm, trained to generate synthetic representations of the subject based on original media. The processor replaces the transmission with a new transmission that includes the modified media.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Matthew Bruce Murray, Garrett Thomas Botkin, Kathleen D.

Patent number: 9947821Abstract: A silicon device, has a plurality of crystalline silicon regions. One crystalline silicon region is a doped crystalline silicon region. Deactivating some or all of the dopant atoms in the doped crystalline silicon region is achieved by introducing hydrogen atoms into the doped 5 crystalline silicon region, whereby the hydrogen coulombicly bonds with some or all of the dopant atoms to deactivate the respective dopant atoms. Deactivated dopant atoms may be reactivated by heating and illuminating the doped crystalline silicon region to break at least some of the dopant-hydrogen bonds while maintaining conditions to create a high concentration of neutral hydrogen atoms whereby 10 some of the hydrogen atoms diffuse from the doped crystalline silicon region without rebinding to the dopant atoms.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2014Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: Newsouth Innovations PTY LimitedInventors: Brett Jason Hallam, Matthew Bruce Edwards, Stuart Ross Wenham, Phillip George Hamer, Catherine Emily Chan, Chee Mun Chong, Pei Hsuan Lu, Ly Mai, Li Hui Song, Adeline Sugianto, Alison Maree Wenham, Guang Qi Xu
