Patent number: 10791435Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for automatically authenticating ownership of uploaded content to a server by cellular messaging is described. Content is uploaded to a server by cellular messaging. If the user has a user account, the user account is retrieved. If not, a user account is created. A URL is created and mapped to the content and the user account and sent as a hyperlink by cellular messaging to the user. Upon a first activation of the hyperlink, the user is authenticated as an owner of the content. A cookie is embedded in the owner's device. Upon a subsequent activation of the hyperlink, if the cookie is detected in the user's device, the owner is allowed to access, edit, download, or share the content. If the cookie is not detected, the user is not an owner, so the user is only allowed to access and not edit the content.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2020Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Cheerity, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan James, Sean Adams, Edward Erenberg, Angela den Tex, Michael Fox

Patent number: 9475511Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a system and methodologies that enable or improve a train operator's ability to detect when his train will or has switched tracks or routes automatically in response to the train switching tracks or route without input from the train operator. Disclosed embodiments enable automatic determination of a route that the train is currently on and the route the train is supposed to switch to and the ability to predict track/route switches before they occur. Thus, the disclosed embodiments are configured to more effectively provide proper driving instructions through the track/route change, instead of merely reacting to the track/route change.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2013Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: NEW YORK AIR BRAKE CORPORATIONInventors: Jeffrey S.
