Publication number: 20250158830Abstract: Aspects related to impersonation detection using an authentication enforcement engine are provided. An authentication enforcement platform may retrieve electronic signatures and device records. The platform may train an authentication enforcement engine, using the electronic signatures and device records, to generate similarity scores for transmissions. The platform may intercept a transmission. The platform may generate a similarity score for the transmission based on extracted information of the transmission. The platform may identify whether the similarity score satisfies a threshold. If the similarity score satisfies a threshold, the platform may update a device record, update the authentication enforcement engine, and route the transmission. If the similarity score fails to satisfy the threshold score, the platform may identify whether manual review is necessary. In some examples, the platform may initiate security actions responsive to the transmission.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2023Publication date: May 15, 2025Inventors: Aaron Buchanan, James Siekman, Jeffrey Felipe, Robert Timothy Leedy, Dana Tishgarten Mackay, Heidi L.

Patent number: 12168798Abstract: This disclosure provides an integrated and automated sample-to-answer system that, starting from a sample comprising biological material, generates a genetic profile in less than two hours. In certain embodiments, the biological material is DNA and the genetic profile involves determining alleles at one or a plurality of loci (e.g., genetic loci) of a subject, for example, an STR (short tandem repeat) profile, for example as used in the CODIS system. The system can perform several operations, including (a) extraction and isolation of nucleic acid; (b) amplification of nucleotide sequences at selected loci (e.g., genetic loci); and (c) detection and analysis of amplification product. These operations can be carried out in a system that comprises several integrated modules, including an analyte preparation module; a detection and analysis module and a control module.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2020Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: INTEGENX. INC.Inventors: David Eberhart, Yuan Li, James Ogg, Ezra Van Gelder, Stephen J. Williams, Timothy Woudenberg, Dean S. Burgi, William D. Nielsen

Patent number: 11324656Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method and a device for increasing blood flow and controlling the temperature of a mammal by applying a desired pressure to extremities of a mammal. The device generally includes a pliant body element that is adapted to receive a portion of an extremity of the mammal therein, and then apply a pressure to a portion of the extremity when a pressure is provided to a region in which the extremity is positioned within the pliant body element. By evacuating the region in which the extremity is enclosed, a contact surface area between the extremity of a mammal and the pliant body element is increased, due to the external atmospheric pressure acting on the pliant body element against the skin of the extremity of the mammal. The application of pressure assures that sufficient contact and thermal heat transfer (heating or cooling) is provided to the extremity of the mammal.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2019Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: AVACORE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: John Roy Kane, Scott A. Christensen, Nathan Hamilton, Stephen J. Williams

Publication number: 20170082626Abstract: Methods are provided for determining or otherwise assessing the response of a patient to treatment, in particular, to cancer treatment. The methods include the analysis of samples for the presence or the absence of HER2 markers alone or in conjunction with other biomarkers, such as HER3 markers. In certain examples, the probable time to progression can be determined by first determining HER2 positive patients and then further stratifying by using the presence or the absence of a second biomarker (e.g, HER3 markers). In addition, the data can be used to track a patient's response to a treatment regimen, assessing the expected success of treating a patient using a particular regiment, determining the effects of a treatment regiment or for categorizing a patient in order to create a homogenous group for a clinical trial.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2016Publication date: March 23, 2017Applicant: Laboratory Corporation of America HoldingsInventors: Michael Bates, Jennifer W.

Patent number: 9463134Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include methods and devices for increasing blood flow and controlling the temperature of a mammal. The device generally includes collapsible and pliant body elements, capable of expanding from a first volume into an expanded second volume which can then be reduced from the expanded second volume into a pressurized third volume. One or more thermal exchange units can be positioned in the one or more collapsible and pliant body elements. Accordingly, the temperature of the extremity of a mammal can be regulated by providing heating or cooling to the one or more thermal exchange units.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2013Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: THERMATX, INC.Inventors: John Roy Kane, Scott A. Christensen, Nathan Hamilton, Stephen J. Williams

Patent number: 9308148Abstract: A method and device for increasing blood flow by applying positive pressure to extremities of a mammal and/or controlling the temperature of the mammal. The device includes one or more collapsible and pliant body elements capable of expanding and flexibly applying pressurized compression forces to the extremity of the mammal by attaching one or more pressure-applying gas plenums as close to the extremity as possibly. The flexible extremity device can be used independently or can be used in conjunction with thermal pads disposed to the one or more collapsible and pliant body elements. Alternatively, the one or more collapsible and pliant body elements can be manufactured into thermal pads.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2007Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: THERMATX, INC.Inventors: John Roy Kane, Scott A.
