Patent number: 9922522Abstract: A device disposed on a subject to maintain the subject within a containment zone and track the subject if the subject exits the containment zone. The device includes a positioning unit for generating position data including satellite positioning data. There is a processor unit to determine from the position data if the subject is inside or outside of the containment zone. The processor unit operates in a containment mode when the subject is inside the containment zone and in a tracking mode when the subject exits the containment zone. A correction unit issues a stimulus when the subject exits the containment zone and terminates the stimulus when the processor unit enters the tracking mode from the containment mode. There is a communication unit which transmits an alert to an electronic device of an operator when the processor unit transitions from the containment to tracking mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2017Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: OnPoint Systems, LLCInventors: Kenneth S. Solinsky, Robert Paxton, Xinnakone Vivathana, Kristen Lomastro, Scott Sterling

Patent number: 7716137Abstract: System and method for automatically tracking and enabling the operation of a product. An order is received and information regarding the order, customer, and product is stored. A key is given to the customer to be used in registration. During registration, the key is provided and a candidate fingerprint obtained. If the candidate fingerprint matches the fingerprint of the ordered product, data is automatically sent to the product that enables the product to operate. In addition over time, status regarding the product is received and updates are sent to the product as needed or requested.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2002Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: Nokia Inc.Inventors: Gregory J. Smith, Robert Paxton Scott

Patent number: 7206935Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for protecting a network appliance against a security breach. The network appliance is protected by an appliance protector component that resides within the network appliance. The appliance protector protects the network appliance by monitoring processes for a valid signature and terminating processes with an invalid signature.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2002Date of Patent: April 17, 2007Assignee: Nokia Inc.Inventor: Robert Paxton Scott

Patent number: 7004344Abstract: A collapsible bin includes a lid and a box. The lid defines a lid plane and includes a flange extending in a plane parallel to the lid plane, the flange including an opening. The box includes a wall a channel with a flange contact surface and a bolt moveable in a direction perpendicular to the lid plane between securing and non-securing positions. When the bolt is in the securing position and the lid is positioned with the flange in the channel the bolt is positioned in the opening to restrict movement of the lid in a direction parallel to the lid plane and the flange engages the flange contact surface upon pressure on the lid in a direction away from the wall. A plurality of lid securing members releasably secure the lid to the wall.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2001Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Assignee: Tolko Industries Ltd.Inventors: Michael Wayne Fulton, Darrell Robert Paxton Weatherill

Patent number: 6985697Abstract: A wireless communication interface in a network appliance that enables secure wireless management of the network appliance over a relatively limited (short) distance with a mobile node. The operator of the mobile node is authenticated and communication between the network appliance and the mobile node is encrypted. Even if an unauthorized person was able to be positioned in relatively close proximity to a network appliance such as within the physical confines of a data center, these authentication and encryption measures would make it extremely difficult for unauthorized wireless management of the operation of the network appliance.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2003Date of Patent: January 10, 2006Assignee: Nokia, Inc.Inventors: Gregory J Smith, Robert Paxton Scott
