Patent number: 11893553Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media of exchanging digital assets using a public key cryptography framework. One method includes storing a plurality of digital assets on an internal ledger, and receiving a signed exchange request signed by a private key of a public and private key pair associated with a digital asset on the internal ledger, wherein the signed exchange request includes a destination address of an inter-provider ledger. The method further includes providing, to the inter-provider ledger, a public key of the public and private key pair based on interfacing with the destination address of the inter-provider ledger via a first API, and determining, from the inter-provider ledger, the signed exchange request was verified. The method further includes updating the internal ledger by removing the public and private key pair, and updating a central ledger by interfacing with a central address of the central ledger via a second API.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Ashish B. Kurani, Michael Knorr, Erik F. Nelson, Matthew Mullin Shepherd, Laura Marie Fontana

Patent number: 11273271Abstract: In one aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide an aerosolization device for ensuring proper delivery of an aerosolized medication to a user's respiratory system. The aerosolization device may include a conduit, an aerosol generator, a restrictor disposed within the conduit, and an indicator mechanism. The conduit may include a mouthpiece end by which a user may cause inspiratory flow through the conduit. The aerosol generator may include a vibratable mesh. The restrictor may define a plurality of apertures disposed along an outer periphery of the restrictor configured to provide an increase in pressure differential that varies with an inspiratory flow rate within the conduit and to provide a relatively laminar flow downstream of the restrictor compared to upstream of the restrictor. The indicator mechanism may indicate to a user a state of a parameter of the inspiratory flow relative to a predefined desired range.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2017Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Aerami Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: Jim Fink, Lisa Molloy, Ronan MacLoughlin, Claire Elizabeth Lillis, Michael Joseph Casey, John Matthew Mullins, Kieran James Hyland, Joseph Martin Grehan

Patent number: 11243041Abstract: A gun hanger for vertically hanging a firearm is disclosed. The gun hanger allows an operator to hang the firearm in a vertical position to enable the operator to use both hands for other tasks, such as climbing over a fence or climbing a tree, thus increasing firearm safety. In one embodiment, the gun hanger comprises an L-shaped member and a flat plate member. The flat plate member has a recess sized to accept the magazine of a firearm and secure the gun hanger to the firearm with the magazine cap. The recess can be sized to accept different firearms such as 12 gauge and 20 gauge shotguns. The L-shaped member can be mounted on many surfaces such as fences, tree branches, and boat sides to keep the firearm in a vertical position. Methods for using the gun hanger are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2020Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Inventor: Matthew Mullins

Patent number: 6753907Abstract: The present invention provides automatic correction of any distortions produced when computer projection displays are misaligned with respect to the projection surface (such as keystoning). Although sophisticated LCD projectors now offer partial solutions to this problem, they require specialized hardware and time-consuming manual adjustment. The two key concepts in the present invention are: (1) using an uncalibrated camera to observe the projected image; and (2) the image to be displayed is pre-warped so that the distortions induced by the misaligned projection system will exactly undo the distortion. The result is that an arbitrarily mounted projector (in an unknown orientation) still displays a perfectly aligned and rectilinear image.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2000Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: Justsystem CorporationInventors: Rahul Sukthankar, Robert Stockton, Matthew Mullin

Patent number: 6704447Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-assisted method for analyzing the surroundings of a display device. At least two different patterns are displayed successively on a display device connected to a computer. A camera is also connected to the computer and is directed towards objects in front of the display device. Each time a pattern is displayed on the display device, at least one image of the surroundings is captured. The captured images are combined to create a difference image. The difference image is analyzed to interpret the objects in the surroundings. For example, calculations may be performed to segment the foreground from the background of the surroundings or to estimate the range (distance) of the objects from the display device. An apparatus for performing this computer-assisted method is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2001Date of Patent: March 9, 2004Assignee: Justsystem CorporationInventors: Rahul Sukthankar, Richard Caruana, Matthew Mullin, Keiko Hasegawa

Patent number: 6618076Abstract: The present invention enables a user to automatically calibrate a projector-camera system to recover the mapping from a given point in the source (pre-projection) image and its corresponding point in the camera image, and vice versa. One or more calibration patterns are projected onto a flat surface with possibly unknown location and orientation by a projector with possibly unknown location, orientation and focal length. Images of these patterns are captured by a camera mounted at a possibly unknown location, orientation and with possibly unknown focal length. Parameters for mapping between the source image and the camera image are computed. The present invention can become an essential component of a projector-camera system, such as automatic keystone correction and vision-based control of computer systems.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2000Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Assignee: Justsystem CorporationInventors: Rahul Sukthankar, Robert Stockton, Matthew Mullin
