  • Publication number: 20260063259
    Abstract: A lighting device controller includes a power supply, a switch, a battery, and a status indicator. The switch can be set to either an AC only or battery backup position, indicating whether the lighting device controller provides a battery backup signal to the lighted sign. When set to the battery backup position, the lighting device controller powers the lighted sign and charges the battery. If AC power is lost while in the battery backup mode, backup power is supplied from the battery to the lighted sign. The status indicators behavior changes as a function of the switch position to indicate whether AC power is present in the AC only mode or in the battery backup mode indicates one color for AC present and battery charging, and provides a second color to indicate battery not present or low.

  • Patent number: 12432205
    Abstract: A system and method for mitigating security vulnerabilities of a computer network by detecting a management status of an endpoint computing device attempting to authenticate to one or more computing resources accessible via the computer network includes: detecting an authentication attempt by the endpoint computing device to the computer network; during the authentication attempt, collecting management status indicia from the endpoint computing device, wherein the management status indicia comprise data used to determine a management status of the endpoint computing device; using the management status indicia to identify the management status of the endpoint computing device and identifying the management status of the endpoint computing device; and controlling access to the computer network based on (a) whether the authentication attempt by the endpoint computing device is successful and (b) the identified management status of the endpoint computing device.

  • Patent number: 12010513
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that include: accessing implicit authentication data from a possession factor associated with an authorized user; at the possession factor or at an authentication platform: generating a possession confidence level using the implicit authentication data, the possession confidence level being one of a plurality of possession confidence levels, the possession confidence level indicating a likelihood that the possession factor is possessed by the authorized user; identifying, among a plurality of varying authentication requirements, an authentication requirement for the transaction based on the possession confidence level, the authentication requirement defines a process or action to prove authority to perform the transaction or a process or action to prove an identity of a user attempting to perform the transaction; and implementing the authentication requirement for the transaction.

  • Patent number: 11230467
    Abstract: A detection device for detecting that a source is sold-out for a beverage dispenser, the beverage dispenser dispensing from the source via a valve controlled by a solenoid. A circuit board is configured to be positioned on the valve proximal to the solenoid. A detector is coupled to the circuit board, where the solenoid creates a magnetic field when dispensing from the valve, and where the detector detects the magnetic field created by the solenoid and consequently produces an electrical output. A control system is coupled to the circuit board in communication with the detector. The control system is configured to access threshold data and to compare the electrical output of the detector to the threshold data. The control system indicates that the source is sold-out based upon the comparison of the electrical output to the threshold data.
