Patent number: 12299865Abstract: A method of inspecting a composite assembly that includes a core coated with resin. Inspecting the composite assembly includes accessing an image of a cross section of the core, the image having a dot matrix data structure with a matrix of intensity values and identifying a subset of the intensity values that describe a distribution of the resin on the core. Next, the intensity values of the subset of the intensity values are classified to indicate either uniform or non-uniform distribution of the resin on the core. Either a first comparison determining a ratio of uniform resin or a second comparison determining a ratio of non-uniform resin is performed. Based on the first comparison or the second comparison as performed, a quality of the composite assembly is determined. Finally, an indication of the quality of the composite assembly is output.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2022Date of Patent: May 13, 2025Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Eileen O. Kutscha, Garth T.

Publication number: 20250080343Abstract: Disclosed embodiments implement rekeying keys of a Security Association (SA) using an SPI Transform to provide secure data transfer in a computing environment. A disclosed method comprises detecting, by a local key manager (LKM) executing on a computing node, an expired rekey timer of an SA between an initiator channel on the computing node and a responder channel on a responder node. The LKM requests, based on the expired rekey timer, an SA Index from the initiator channel on a computing node. The LKM creates an SPI based on an SPI Transform using the new SA Index and SPI Transform values. The LKM builds an SKE SA Initialization Request message based on an authentication key of the SA and the SPI to obtain a new session key.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2023Publication date: March 6, 2025Inventors: Richard Mark SCZEPCZENSKI, Daniel HUGHES, Alol Antony CRASTA

Patent number: 12240238Abstract: A label modification unit may receive a label modification input that indicates a label modification associated with content being written to a label or erased from the label. The label modification unit may identify an area of the label that is associated with the label modification according to the label modification input. The label modification unit may determine, based on a size of the area, a spot size of a light beam that is configured to be emitted by a laser printhead to modify the content within the area. The label modification unit may determine, based on the spot size and the content, an optical path configuration for the laser printhead. The label modification unit may operate the laser printhead according to the optical path configuration to write the content to the area or erase the content from the area.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Zebra Technologies CorporationInventors: Robert E.
