Publication number: 20150288694Abstract: A method and system for accessing a resource associated with a resource control entity that includes receiving, by a ledger, a request, corresponding to a user, to access the resource; obtaining, in response to the request, user metadata; sending to the user a ledger authentication token, which a credential application uses to verify that the ledger is a valid ledger; receiving, from the credential application, a public key encrypted payload including signature entries; decrypting, by the ledger, the encrypted payload using a payload secret key to obtain the signature entries and other user data; obtaining results of a verification by successively verifying each of the signature entries until a scoring threshold associated with the resource is met, and transmitting, to the resource control entity, a notification including the results of the verification, which the resource control entity uses to determine whether to grant the user access to the resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2015Publication date: October 8, 2015Inventors: Alois Louis Liebl, III, Edward Holland Johns, Brian Robert Silver

Publication number: 20150226531Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a bullet having a first or proximal end, a second or distal end, and a curved circumferential feature formed between the proximal and distal ends of the bullet. The proximal end comprises a large meplat and a circumferential guidance feature. The circumferential guidance feature is configured to be operable with the rib of an ammunition magazine to help prevent binding and allow for normal alignment in the ammunition magazine. As a result, the bullet has more stability within the ammunition magazine, higher potential accuracy, and ability to have longer and heavier projectiles. The bullet further can be cast in a mold to form the bullet with the desired shape, including the circumferential guidance feature formed therein.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2014Publication date: August 13, 2015Inventor: Robert Silvers

Publication number: 20130312027Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus allows users to communicate with each other during a live broadcast. The users communicate through personal electronic devices like a smartphone preferably running a specially designed application that keeps their messages synchronized with the live broadcast. The application may also prompt them to respond to polls or make predictions. The application also allows for statistics regarding user response to the broadcast to be maintained.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: November 21, 2013Inventors: Eyal Baumel, Ofry Ram, Robert Silver

Patent number: 8096222Abstract: The present invention relates to a silencer for reducing muzzle blast and noise of firearms or similar devices. The present silencer has a hollow cylindrical or other shape casing comprising front and rear end caps and an opening aligned along a longitudinal axis defining a passage for a projectile and propellant gases to emerge from the muzzle opening. A plurality of serially placed baffles of symmetrical or slanted orientation and intervening coaxial spacers are positioned within the casing and define a multitude of chambers among the baffles, spacers, and outer housing. The baffles shear propellant gases away from the projectile path and through openings or ports into additional chambers formed between the spacers and outer housing. The arrangement of baffles and spacers provides flow-impeding paths, dispersion, and controlled expansion of gases and lowers gas temperature to reduce audible noise and observable signature of the muzzle blast.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2011Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Advanced Armament Corp., LLC.Inventor: Robert Silvers

Publication number: 20110072958Abstract: An improved flash suppressor and silencer mount. The use of tapered tines allows for the easy removal of a noise suppressor from the flash suppressor even after extended use. Due to the construction of the flash suppressor and through proper material selection the tines will not warp or break even after being exposed to temperatures in excess of 1100 degrees. Through the use of angled concave transition portions this device is a superb stand alone flash suppressor.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2007Publication date: March 31, 2011Inventors: Kevin Tyson Brittingham, Robert Silvers

Patent number: 7752764Abstract: An automatic apparatus for leveling suspended articles or hung objects to an angle relative to a reference. The shift lever assembly (112), used as a gravity reference, is activated when the pendulum member swings horizontally in response to slightest inclination or tilt, thereby causing the conductor pin (114.14) to contact one side of a pair of conductor plates (114.24b) or (114.24b). The contacting of the conductor pin to one side of the pair of conductor plates (114.24b) or (114.24b) completes the electrical circuit and allows the electrical storage device (118) to provide electrical current to the planetary motor (116), causing it to rotate. The turning of the planetary motor (116) causes the shift lever assembly (112) to automatically shift the elongated lever arm (112.10) against the rigid axle (122.22), thereby shifting the center of balance of the object in the opposite direction of the rotation of the wheel-like driven gear (112.20). Leveling occurs when the elongated lever arm (112.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2008Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Inventors: Robert Silvers, James Stone

Patent number: 7715032Abstract: A method (100), a system and, a computer program product for bulk communication of information to recipients via multiple delivery media are disclosed. The media include facsimile, email, surface mail, SMS messaging, and archiving (and is adapted for new media types in the future). A single interface is used to receive information (106, 108, 110) for distribution including one or more template documents (110) and data (106) specific to each recipient. At least one document based on the received information (106, 108, 110) is transmitted using a specified delivery media (144, 150, 156, 162, 168) for each recipient based on the recipients' delivery preferences (122, 176). Escalating (172, 178) transmission of the document may occur using a different delivery media for any recipients for whom transmission by the specified delivery media fails. The escalating step (172, 178) may depend upon status information (176) from a carrier regarding delivery of the document to each recipient.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2003Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: ConnXion Ventures LimitedInventors: Nicholas Rowland Bird, Kevin Bryan Levine, Robert Silver, Michael Robert Stewart, Alexander John Omillian, Paul Huntley Ginns, Michael Markham
