Patent number: 11991296Abstract: A method may include receiving a check-in request at a server of a consent management platform from a content-presentation device. The request may by or include an authentication certificate for establishing a secure communicative connection. A device token cryptographically-signed by the server, a global identifier (GID) unique to the content-presentation device, and a device-based device record may be received over the secure communicative connection. The server may retrieve a server-based device record for the device from a flat database using the GID as an index key, and then compare a device-based sequence number in the device-based device record with a server-based sequence number in the server-based device record. If the sequence numbers match, the server may send a check-in complete message to the content-presentation. If the sequence numbers do not match, the server may initiate a synchronization procedure with the content-presentation device.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Universal Electronics Inc.Inventors: Brian Paul Johnson, Peter William Ellison, Matthew Jorgensen, George Earl Harvey, Kurt Roman Thielen

Patent number: 11922431Abstract: In one aspect, a method carried out by a content-presentation device may include transmitting a consent-processing request, including an identifier string unique to the device, to a consent management platform disposed in a computing cloud. The string may be used to establish an interactive session for user selection of consent options associated with a consent package having consent features of a media distribution system that require user consent for activation on the device. The consent package may be one of multiple consent packages targeted for the device by the consent management platform. The interactive session may prompt for consent choices of consent options, each choice being acceptance or rejection of consent to activating features of the consent package. The consent choices may be provided to the consent management platform via the interactive session, and corresponding information may be stored in a device-based activation whitelist for each consent-to feature.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Universal Electronics Inc.Inventors: Brian Paul Johnson, Peter William Ellison, Matthew Jorgensen, George Earl Harvey, Kurt Roman Thielen

Publication number: 20240009436Abstract: In a method for enhancing localized delivery of a diagnostic or therapeutic agent using focused ultrasound (FUS), ultrasound-controllable drug carriers are administered into a blood vessel. Each drug carrier comprises an ultrasound-sensitive microbubble loaded with the diagnostic or therapeutic agent. The drug carriers are aggregated inside the vessel both along a radial direction and a longitudinal direction by application of an aggregation FUS sequence. Subsequently the diagnostic or therapeutic agent is released from the drug carriers by application of an uncaging FUS sequence. The aggregation and uncaging sequences are applied using FUS below a threshold power level such that harmful cavitation is avoided, as evidenced by the absence of broadband emissions and preferably non-integer harmonics from an emission spectrum of the drug carriers. Thereby damage to the vasculature by the FUS sequence is avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2021Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: ETH ZurichInventors: Mehmet Fatih YANIK, Mehmet OZDAS, Aagam SHAH, Paul JOHNSON, Shashank SIRSI
