Patent number: 11719363Abstract: In an example, an adjustable clamp system includes a base, a clamp assembly, and a first eccentric bushing. The base includes an anchor portion configured to couple the base to a support structure, a first clamp-support portion extending from the anchor portion, and a second clamp-support portion extending from the anchor portion. The clamp assembly includes a clamp defining a bore, a first flange extending from a first side of the clamp and coupled to the first clamp-support portion, and a second flange extending from a second side of the clamp and coupled to the second clamp-support portion. The first eccentric bushing couples the first flange to the first clamp-support portion. The first eccentric bushing is rotatable relative to the first flange to translate the clamp assembly in a first direction relative to the base and adjust a distance between the clamp and the anchor portion of the base.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventor: Michael Wallace Bailey

Patent number: 11568185Abstract: Centroids are used for improving machine learning classification and information retrieval. A plurality of files are classified as malicious or not malicious based on a function dividing a coordinate space into at least a first portion and a second portion such that the first portion includes a first subset of the plurality of files classified as malicious. One or more first centroids are defined in the first portion that classify files from the first subset as not malicious. A file is determined to be malicious based on whether the file is located within the one or more first centroids.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Cylance Inc.Inventors: Jian Luan, Matthew Wolff, Brian Michael Wallace

Patent number: 11501120Abstract: An artifact is received and features are extracted therefrom to form a feature vector. Thereafter, a determination is made to alter a malware processing workflow based on a distance of one or more features in the feature vector relative to one or more indicator centroids. Each indicator centroid specifying a threshold distance to trigger an action. Based on such a determination, the malware processing workflow is altered.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Cylance Inc.Inventors: Eric Glen Petersen, Michael Alan Hohimer, Jian Luan, Matthew Wolff, Brian Michael Wallace

Patent number: 11338531Abstract: An automatic can crusher apparatus for crushing cans for recycling includes a housing having a ram aperture extending through to a housing inside. A ram has a pneumatic cylinder body, a ram arm extending through the ram aperture, and a ram head coupled to the ram arm. The ram moves the ram head between a load position and a crush position adjacent a housing right side. A can positioner is coupled to a housing left side within the housing inside to secure a can adjacent the ram head in the load position. A feeder chute is coupled to the housing top side to receive a plurality of cans through a chute top end and dispense each can through a chute bottom end onto the can positioner when the ram head is in the load position.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Inventor: Michael Wallace

Patent number: 11316663Abstract: Techniques for authentication using a blockchain hash value as a moving factor. The techniques include retrieving, by an authenticating device and from a blockchain, a current hash value of the blockchain, where the authenticating device and an authenticator server share a secret key value and each have access to the blockchain. The techniques further including generating, by the authenticating device, a secure token based on the secret key value and the current hash value. The techniques further including transmitting the secure token to the authenticator server and receiving an indication of authentication from the authenticator server.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Narayana Aditya Madineni, Leigh Stuart McLean, Michael Wallace Gray, James Evans
