Patent number: 12238239Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory of a mobile compute device, and a hardware processor of the mobile compute device. The hardware processor is configured to implement an operating system and an authentication module. The operating system is configured to receive a first authentication identifier, and is also configured to authorize use of the mobile compute device based on the first authentication identifier meeting a first criterion. The authentication module is configured to, in response to the operating system authorizing use of the mobile compute device, disable at least one function of the mobile compute device and request a second authentication identifier. The authentication module is also configured to receive the second authentication identifier. The authentication module is also configured to enable the at least one function in response to the second authentication identifier meeting a second criterion.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2021Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Invincea, Inc.Inventor: Michael Nathan Lack

Publication number: 20240346161Abstract: Various hardware and software configurations are described herein which provide improved security and control over protected data. In some embodiments, a computer includes a main motherboard card coupled to all input/output devices connected to the computer, and a trusted operating system operates on the main motherboard which includes an access control module for controlling access to the protected data in accordance with rules. The trusted operating system stores the protected data in an unprotected form only on the memory devices on the main motherboard. The computer may also have a computer card coupled to the main motherboard via a PCI bus, on which is operating a guest operating system session for handling requests for data from software applications on the computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2024Publication date: October 17, 2024Inventors: Daniel Joseph Sturtevant, Christopher Lalancette, Michael Nathan Lack, Paul B.

Patent number: 11346706Abstract: Items may be stored on a fixture of a facility using one or more accessories, such as trays or bins. Weighing modules that include one or more load cells may be mounted to a crossbar of the fixture. The accessories of the fixture may then be mounted to the crossbar via the weighing modules. The load cells within each weighing module can collect weight data associated with items stowed in the accessories that are coupled to the weighing module. When a weight change is detected at the fixture, a particular load cell is identified as the source of the weight change. Once a load cell is identified, the accessory coupled to the load cell is identified, as well as the types of items stowed therein. Interaction data can then be determined to indicate a type of item that was added to or removed from the accessory of the fixture.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Michael Nathan Danenberg, Jeffrey Kevin Feiereisen, Jacob Alex Siegel, Brett Allen Skaloud, Thomas Duester, James Merton Tidman, Dawn Marie Pfund, Jeremy Samuel De Bonet

Patent number: 11118856Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a firearms suppressor that comprises a self-cleaning function. In one example the firearms suppressor may include a diffusor circumferentially surrounded by a blast chamber and a scrolled sleeve enclosing the inner core of the firearms suppressor. The combination of the said elements may mitigate accumulation of debris within a projectile path of the firearms suppressor and enable extended operation of the firearms suppressor before cleaning is desired.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2018Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: DK Precision Outdoor, LLCInventor: Michael Nathan Dunham

Patent number: 10809122Abstract: Shelves or other fixtures may be used to support items at a facility. Weighing modules including load cells may be used at the fixtures to acquire weight data indicative of changes to the fixture as items are added or removed from the fixture. Weighing modules may be modular and repositionable with respect to a crossbar or other supporting member that provides electrical power and data connectivity. This allows for the fixtures to be easily reconfigured to accommodate items of different sizes.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2017Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Michael Nathan Danenberg, Jeffrey Kevin Feiereisen, Jacob Alex Siegel, Brett Allen Skaloud, Thomas Duester, James Merton Tidman, Dawn Marie Pfund, Jeremy Samuel De Bonet
