  • Patent number: 11969594
    Abstract: A method to provide skin care treatment is provided. The method includes receiving, by an electrical stimulator apparatus, programmable instructions from an external device for a skin care treatment. The electrical stimulator apparatus delivers an electric current to an area of skin through a plurality of electrodes. The electric current is controlled based on the skin care treatment. The external device presents guidance corresponding with the skin care treatment. The guidance is configured to aid a user in operating the electrical stimulator apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11936796
    Abstract: Described implementations obtain credential information including an encrypted digital identity (ID). The encrypted digital ID may include a public component of a credential and identity data. Furthermore, the credential information may include cryptographically obfuscated data based on the identity data and a private component of the credential. A proof is obtained that includes proof data. The proof data may confirm that the credential information was correctly generated. Verification of the proof data, and confirmation that the cryptographically obfuscated data is not associated in a collection of cryptographically obfuscated data, cause a computer-implemented service to issue a pseudonym. The pseudonym is usable to generate a relationship associated with a computer-implemented service.

  • Patent number: 11424939
    Abstract: Described implementations obtain a proof of valid attestation data. The attestation data may include configuration data of a host computing system. A prover service may receive the attestation data. The prover service may generate a proof to prove that the attestation data includes valid configuration data of the host computer system, without revealing sensitive or private information of the host computing system. The proof may be a zero-knowledge proof.

  • Patent number: 7149801
    Abstract: A resource may be abused if its users incur little or no cost. For example, e-mail abuse is rampant because sending an e-mail has negligible cost for the sender. Such abuse may be discouraged by introducing an artificial cost in the form of a moderately expensive computation. Thus, the sender of an e-mail might be required to pay by computing for a few seconds before the e-mail is accepted. Unfortunately, because of sharp disparities across computer systems, this approach may be ineffective against malicious users with high-end systems, prohibitively slow for legitimate users with low-end systems, or both. Starting from this observation, we identify moderately hard, memory bound functions that most recent computer systems will evaluate at about the same speed, and we explain how to use them for protecting against abuses.

  • Patent number: 5277487
    Abstract: A toe kick drawer is supported in an inset base beneath an enclosure of a bathroom vanity cabinet. The toe drawer has a recess which conforms to the inset base of the cabinet and preserves the ability of a user to place a front part of a foot underneath the cabinet when using a sink. The toe drawer allows efficient use of space and protects items and articles from water damage. The toe drawer may have rolling or sliding means coupled to the cabinet for easy opening or closing by a hand or a loot.
