  • Patent number: 9845618
    Abstract: A lock assembly (30, 30?) is provided that includes a housing (32), a rotary bolt (36) or a translating bolt (36?), and a bolt blocker (38) that moves between a blocking position blocking movement of the bolts (36, 36?) and an unblocking position permitting the bolts (36, 36?) to move to a retracted position. The lock assemblies (30, 30?) are resistant to shocks being applied to the locks assemblies (30, 30?) in an effort to open the lock assemblies (30, 30?) without authorization.

  • Patent number: 9813234
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for secure multiparty computation. A set of first parties is selected from a plurality of first parties for computation. Inputs for computation associated with each party in the set of first parties are divided into shares to be sent to other parties in the set of first parties. The computation on the shares is performed by the set of first parties using multiparty computation functions. In response to a trigger event, shares of the set of first parties are transferred to a set of second parties selected from a plurality of second parties. The computation is completed by the set of second parties using the transferred shares. Finally, the transferred shares are recombined to reveal an output of the computation.

  • Publication number: 20150274855
    Abstract: The present invention relates to copolymers obtained by polymerizing a mono-functional silicone (meth)acrylamide monomer with a non-silicon containing, multi-functional (meth)acrylamide monomer having at least two (meth)acrylamide groups in a molecule. The shortest chain length of an organic group connecting any two (meth)acrylamide groups in the multi-functional (meth)acrylamide monomer is: i) 4 to 20 carbon atoms when every nitrogen atom of the (meth)acrylamide groups has at least one hydrogen atom directly bonded to the nitrogen atom; or ii) 1 to 20 carbon atoms when at least one nitrogen atom of any (meth)acrylamide groups has no hydrogen atom directly bonded to it.

  • Patent number: 8635186
    Abstract: Providing synchronization to a local system. Embodiments may include downloading a batch of changes in a heterogeneous batch. The batch of changes is correlated to an anchor affiliated with a synchronization service. The anchor is a reference point indicating time or relative order. The batch of changes and the anchor are serialized to a non-volatile storage medium as a heterogeneous set. After serializing the batch of changes to a non-volatile storage medium as a heterogeneous set, entities in the batch of changes are parsed out into entities in in-memory representations. Similarly, embodiments may receive user input modifying a plurality of data entities, store on a non-volatile storage medium a serialized heterogeneous representation of the modified data entities, and upload the serialized heterogeneous representation to a synchronization service.

  • Patent number: 8185494
    Abstract: Synchronization is bound to data and optionally a set of synchronization behaviors as opposed to a particular application and/or endpoint. As a result, synchronization amongst endpoints need not require creation of customized synchronization solutions or rely on vendor and/or application specific mechanisms. In one instance, standard data and/or synch schemas can be subscribed to and utilized to dynamically configure synchronization across endpoints.

  • Patent number: 7912973
    Abstract: A mechanism for negotiating a relatively transport agnostic communication protocol for use in accomplishing a distributed activity. The potential protocols subject to negotiation may be, for example, extensions to Web Services Coordination. In that case, when the initiator creates a transaction, the initiator also negotiates the desired protocol with its transaction manager. The transaction manager and any other participants in the transaction will then follow that negotiated protocol when communicating with the transaction manager. The protocol may be selected to improve performance and may be tailored to existing needs and capabilities.
