Patent number: 11637819Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computer system is provided for establishing connectivity between user devices. The computer-implemented method includes: broadcasting a message to running processes on an operating system of the first user device to indicate that a requesting application is looking for a live connection channel to attempt discovery with a second user device to ascertain virtual proximity of the first user device with the second user device. The computer-implemented method further includes receiving a response from a live connection channel and attempting to verify pairing via the live connection channel to confirm a virtual proximity of the second user device with the first user device. The pairing provides information for establishing a subsequent connection between the first and second user devices via the requesting application.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2020Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas James Waterton, James Hewitt, Caroline J.

Patent number: 11526575Abstract: An add-on for, or additional functionality integrated in, a web browser of the kind that logs visited web pages in history with their URL, HTML page title and a date/time stamp is provided. The history may additionally logs category tags and their confidence scores. The category tags may originate at least in part by extracting them from visited page content and may also propagate through from previously visited pages, for example when a page is opened by hyperlink from another page, the latter's category tags propagate through to the new page. The page-specific confidence scores may be determined by applying a scoring formula that mimics a user's mental association between a category tag and a web page. The category tags and their confidence scores may be then stored in the history log entry and the category tags may then be used to search the history.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2020Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas James Waterton, Caroline J.

Patent number: 10888067Abstract: A chip or carbon fiber substrate may be programmed to emit and/or augment energy tuned to interact with bodily functions. The chip or carbon fiber substrate may be programmed by using a pair of Tesla pancake coils, each coupled to a spherical electrode and driven to create an energetic field between the electrodes. Embodiments may include systems that include the programmed chip in a device (for example, a pet tag) worn on an animal's body. The systems may be wearable so that the effects of the programmed chip may be applied to selected areas of animals and pets.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2019Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Inventors: Richard Michael Hassler, Michael Gerhard Hassler, Richard Jack Hassler

Patent number: 10418690Abstract: An earthing card emits energy tuned to the natural frequency of the Earth. The card may include a material, carbon fiber or other substrate, programmed using scalar waves. Information is embedded into the carbon fiber via a system that uses a wave function generator to produce resonant frequencies for the application and drive wave information from a transmitting electrode to a receiving electrode. The scalar waves between the electrodes may be subjected to a wave or field source modulating the resultant wave information received at the receiving electrode. A material placed on a receiving coil at the receiving electrode receives the resultant wave information programming the material to emit energy tuned to the natural frequencies of the Earth. By placing the card on the body or running water over the card and spraying the body, the body will receive the energetic information emitted by the programmed material.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2018Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Inventors: Richard Michael Hassler, Michael Gerhard Hassler, Richard Jack Hassler
