  • Patent number: 11917065
    Abstract: A method includes a computing device interpreting a request for a requesting entity to access a set of learning objects pertaining to a common topic represented in a virtual reality environment to produce a set of requested learning object identifiers. The method further includes determining whether a license smart contract for the set of learning objects associated with a non-fungible token of the object distributed ledger affirms access by the requesting entity to the set of learning objects. When access is affirmed, the method further includes generating the virtual reality environment utilizing a group of object representations in accordance with interaction information for at least some of the object representations of the group of object representations. The method further includes outputting the virtual reality environment to the requesting entity for interactive consumption.

  • Patent number: 11595416
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved approach for identifying security risks and breaches in a network by applying machine learning methods that learn resource access patterns in the network. Specifically, by observing the access pattern of the network entities (e.g. accounts, services, and hosts) from authorization requests/responses, the model through unsupervised learning, organizes the entity relationships into an ensemble of hierarchical models. The ensemble of hierarchical models can then be leveraged to create a series of metrics that can be used to identify various types of abnormalities in the access of a resource on the network. For instance, by further classifying the access request for a resource using abnormality scores into detection scenarios, the model is able to detect both an abnormality and the type of abnormality and include such information in a corresponding alarm when a security breach happens.

  • Publication number: 20210354768
    Abstract: A vehicle track system and assembly for outfitting vehicles for mobility in off-road conditions. Snow, mud, muck, soil, sand, ice, and other fickle conditions are more readily traversed. In an example, a hub assembly, a pair of drivers, a frame, a pair of rails, and a pair of tracks are all part of the vehicle track system and assembly. The drivers are incited to rotate by the hub assembly. The frame has multiple sets of frame members that are connected to the rails. And the tracks are furnished with numerous paddles and are driven to move via the drivers.

  • Patent number: 9344889
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to pair devices to an in-body network. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes a device capability manager to identify remote sensors associated with a candidate medical device, an encryption engine to provide the candidate medical device with hashing instructions to be applied to input values from selected ones of the remote sensors, a measurement engine to acquire input values from local sensors corresponding to the selected ones of the available remote sensors during a measurement schedule, the encryption engine to apply the hashing instructions to the input values from the local sensors, and a pairing engine to authorize the candidate medical device when an encryption key associated with the remote sensors includes a threshold indication of parity with an encryption key associated with the local sensors.

  • Publication number: 20120311695
    Abstract: Authentication requirements for a user to access a processing system may be dynamically modified based on status information received from sensors coupled to the processing system. The processing system may receive a request for access to the processing system by the user. The processing system determines an authentication policy based at least in part on the status information, and presents authentication requirements to the user based at least in part on the authentication policy.

  • Publication number: 20110148633
    Abstract: An authentication system authenticates a device based on a detected trajectory of that device within a physical environment. The device includes a wireless transmitter that communicates with sensors distributed throughout the environment. As the device moves throughout the environment, the sensors send location information to an authentication system. The authentication system tracks the trajectory or dynamic location of the device and authenticates the device based on whether the observed trajectory of the device conforms with a predicted trajectory or behavior.

  • Patent number: 4858851
    Abstract: A folding wing structure for a missile or other airframe comprises a supporting strut assembly including a leading strut and a trailing strut pivotally secured together at their common ends and pivotally mounted at spaced locations relative to the airframe at their opposite ends, the struts being moveable between a collapsed, storage position in which they are substantially colinear and an expanded, erect position in which they project radially out from the missile. A biassing device urges the struts into the erect position. A double walled, pocket-like wing member of flexible fabric material encloses the strut assembly and conforms substantially to the extended configuration of the struts, and a series of spaced, parallel reinforcing ribs extend chordwise across each wall of the wing member in its erect position between the leading and trailing struts.
